Chapter 386 - BREAKDOWN
"ARRRGH!" Giana couldn't bear this anymore. She was so angry and annoyed with herself, at her current state and at everything.
She needed something to keep her sane, but she didn't know what it was, and it was at this moment that Giana realized that she was all alone and had no one in this world. She was alone…
She used to have Dillon, but she took him for granted. Even though at that time Giana didn't love Dillon, what she did had always been too much and he accepted all her madness.
It was Dillon who had been keeping Giana sane and not hurting herself when everything and everyone in her life turned against her, when everything in her life collapsed, Dillon was her only support.
But, now… Giana had no one…
Not her obsession with Ramon, not even her ruined reputation or someone who could tell her what she should do…
No one would stand by her and say everything was going to be alright.
Oh, how Giana wanted to do whatever Dillon said. Giana really wanted to hear the man scold her now.
Because no matter how angry he was with her, Dillon would eventually take care of everything for her. He would stand by her side to keep herself strong and steadfast in living this tough life.
Giana was willing to give anything to get Dillon back and now she was regretting everything she had done.
And when she realized that thought, Giana burst out laughing. It was so funny how she could fall into the same pit twice.
The first time this happened was when she turned down Ramon's suggestion to divorce Aidan and be with him instead.
Even though their relationship was a calculative move by Ramon who only wanted to take advantage of her, Giana probably wouldn't regret it. Ramon wouldn't treat her like trash, the way he was treating her now.
And now, when Dillon was gone, Giana felt the same way and it made her want to laugh. Even a donkey wouldn't fall into the same pit twice, but Giana seemed dumber than a donkey.
After Giana was satisfied destroying everything her hands could reach for and making her room no longer look like a place to live, Giana fell to the floor, looking out the glass window where she could see the night sky was so thick and the overcast clouds hanging in the sky.
Everything seemed so wrong in Giana's eyes right now…

"What is it?" Ramon asked in the morning when he saw Hailee curled up in bed clutching her stomach after coming back from the bathroom.
"It's okay…" Hailee said in a voice like a mumble, she grimaced softly and added. "Just cramping because I got my period today."
Ramon, who was ready with his work clothes and about to leave the room to have breakfast with his wife, immediately approached Hailee and kissed her forehead. "Are you okay? Does it really hurt?"
Normally, Hailee wouldn't feel this kind of pain, but ever since she had a miscarriage, it seemed like it affected her monthly cycle as well and made her ache on the first and second day of each month.
However, Hailee didn't want to worry Ramon, because this was a natural thing for her to experience as a woman.
"I am alright." Hailee tried to convince Ramon. "You better get ready to go to work. I'll ask Martha to make something for me."
Only, Ramon didn't move from there. How could Ramon leave Hailee when his wife was in pain?
"Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" Ramon asked worriedly. "Should we go to the hospital? No, I'd better call Brian to come over."
Hailee laughed softly, realizing that whatever she said after this couldn't change Ramon's decision and she wouldn't be able to get him out of here.
Then, Hailee smiled gently. "Well... a lot of food and kisses might help me feel better," Hailee said.
Ramon laughed with her when he heard that and started kissing Hailee's face up to her ears and neck.
But then, Hailee just looked at Ramon while pursing her lips, indicating that there was one part that Hailee hadn't felt Ramon's lips touch this morning.
Of course, Ramon gladly granted his wife's request, because whatever Hailee wanted she would get.
Ramon then cupped his hands on Hailee's face and pulled her closer while kissing her lips gently. He really liked their intimate time.
=================
"I thought you went to work," Hailee looked at Ramon in disbelief. Half an hour ago Ramon had gone out of the room and he asked Martha to make a warm drink from natural ingredients which she would usually drink when sick like this.
"No, I'm taking a day off," Ramon said calmly as he walked over to Hailee with a tray of drinks he made.
"Don't tell me it's the drink I asked Martha to make for me!" Hailee widened her eyes in disbelief when she saw Ramon sitting by her bed and gave her a smug smile.
"You asked Martha to make it, but this is my handiwork," Ramon said proudly to her. "Get up, you should give it a try."
"Oh, now I understand why it took Martha so long to make this drink, you're interfering with her work." Hailee teased Ramon, she then lifted her body and sat down.
The warm compress on her stomach helped a little to relieve the pain, but this drink would help her much more.
"This is a masterpiece of mine, you better drink it while it's warm." Ramon helped Hailee put some pillows behind her and gave the glass to his wife. "This is special."
Hailee laughed. "What makes this drink special?" Hailee brought her nose closer and smelled its scent. Nothing strange, the color was the same too. "Nothing about this drink seems special. It's the same drink."
Hearing that, Ramon folded his arms across his chest. "Hailee Tordoff," he called and this made Hailee smile. "You should know the effort I put into making this drink, and again I won't be making this drink for anyone else, so to say the least, this drink is exclusively for you."
"Alright, alright. You're making my stomach hurt even more," Hailee laughed. "Thank you for the special drink. I hope you didn't bother Martha while making this."
Well, if Martha hadn't remembered that Ramon was the boss, then she would have been very frustrated and tried to kick Ramon out of the kitchen.
However, since the middle-aged woman still remembered all that, she had no other choice but to tell Ramon all the steps one by one, so he could make the drink Hailee asked for.
=================
Aidan couldn't understand what Giana wanted anymore.
After the news about her having a miscarriage by taking drugs, and the news was strengthened by a statement from the doctor who treated her, this time Giana tried to do something else by distributing an obscene video of himself and Aileen from months ago.
Wasn't it too late to release such news to the media? And that was not all, why was Giana still bothering him after their divorce decision finally concluded?
This woman just wanted to find a way to keep the media's attention off her and was trying to distract the media's focus onto him, however, Aidan didn't expect her to use herself to achieve that.
What a cheap and selfless woman!
And his arrival this morning to the Dawson residence was not without reason, Aidan's anger was unstoppable.
When his life had started to return to normal and the scandalous news about Giana no longer had anything to do with him and Aidan planning to go to Zia's house and mend his relationship with the woman, Giana actually got back into action and dragged him back into the mud puddle he was trying to crawl out.
"Giana!" Aidan cried furiously. He knew this house very well and he immediately ran to the second floor, where his ex-wife's room was.
When they saw that he was about to barge into Giana's room, two maids immediately approached Aidan and tried to stop him, even though the effort was in vain, because Aidan no longer wanted to hear the people who defended Giana.
"Please, leave Giana alone first. She was devastated," said one of the maids who had worked at the Dawsons' home for decades. She was an old woman who had taken care of Giana since she was a child.
However, Aidan no longer wanted to hear such words, because his anger was unstoppable.
Actually, he felt a little surprised, because there were no security personnel guarding this house. However, that wasn't something he cared about right now.
Aidan then slapped the hands of the two maids away and walked toward Giana's room.
Very rudely, Aidan slammed his fist on the door of the room and shouted angrily. "GIANA! COME OUT!"
Aidan did that many times and made a lot of noise. However, there was no answer from within.
It was only when Aidan tried to pull the door handle that the door opened, which meant it was not locked by Giana.
Aidan frowned in confusion, especially when he looked at the scattered items on the floor as well as the shards of glass littering the floor.
This was indeed something that Giana almost always did whenever she was angry and upset. She tended to destroy things around her, but this time…
The atmosphere in the room was so messy and Aidan had to be careful if he didn't want to get hurt.
While the only sound that could be heard from inside the room was a conversation from a cartoon show that was being broadcasted on television.
