Chapter 154: HONEYMOON (13)
The strange woman groaned, but Aidan still couldn't see her face clearly because her long black hair hid her entire face.
However, knowing this woman's identity was the last thing Aidan wanted now. He couldn't care less who this woman was, as long as she kept her mouth shut and didn't give him any trouble. Then there was nothing that couldn't be handled.
Aidan then removed the blanket covering him and immediately got out of bed and that's when he realized that he wasn't wearing anything.
A low growl, full of anger and irritation left his lips, even the pain from the hangover he was feeling could no longer distract him from the fact that he had actually slept with a strange woman.
From the corner of his eye, Aidan could see his trousers lying on the floor and immediately picked them up, then put them on while at the same time, the naked woman who was still on the bed, got up and rubbed her eyes, pushed her hair aside and looked at Aidan with a faint wrinkle between her two eyebrows.
"Where are you going?" The woman asked in a hoarse voice.
Hearing that question, Aidan stopped his activities to look for the clothes he was wearing last night, which he threw God knows where, because Aidan did not remember what happened.
"Where are you going?!" Aidan repeated the question in a high tone and glared ferociously at the woman who was casually getting out of bed, wrapping herself in the blanket.
The woman then walked to the small table and poured a glass of mineral water into a glass.
She looked so relaxed, as if this was a completely insignificant incident to her, or maybe it was.
"You shouldn't just leave your sleeping partner after what happened between us last night," the woman said in a muttering tone loud enough for Aidan to hear, then chugged down the mineral water in her hand. "That's very disrespectful."
Anger was bubbling up in Aidan's chest. He felt that he had been trapped by this woman in a drunken state.
But a moment later, he sighed heavily and tried to calm himself down. In a situation like this, excessive anger and expressing the emotions he felt would only make the situation worse.
"What do you want? Money?" That was the only reason that crossed Aidan's mind and what else could a woman like her want in a situation like this? "You know who I am, don't you?" Aidan narrowed his eyes. "There will be someone contacting you to discuss it."
After saying this, Aidan then immediately continued searching for his scattered clothes, cursing every time he breathed.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, the woman was just staring at him with a blank, calculating gaze, as if she was calculating all the possibilities and benefits she could get from this situation.
"If you think that this problem will be solved with just money, then you are very wrong. It's not money what I want," the woman sat on the sofa, the blanket still wrapped around her naked body.
Then her curved hands grabbed something from the side of the sofa and threw it at Aidan. It was the t-shirt that the man was looking for, the one he had just thrown away last night to have fun with this sly woman.
"What do you want?" Aidan growled, his jaw hardened, making his serene face look terrifying. He squinted at the woman. "Who are you?" He asked.
Aidan tried to remember who this woman was, or whether he had met her before, but he couldn't remember a single thing about her.
"I am Aileen Tatum," the woman replied, staring at Aidan with a sweet, sickening smile, her eyes fixed on the expression on Aidan's face when she said her name. "Sound familiar?"
Of course Aidan didn't recognize who Aileen was, but he certainly recognized Tatum family name and the only person that came to mind when he heard the surname was Zia.
"Tatum?" Aidan frowned, even the shirt in his hand was forgotten as he walked closer to Aileen and stopped in front of her.
Aidan's body loomed in front of Aileen's face and the domineering aura was thick. However, Aileen did not flinch and instead stood up to face him. Although it was certain that Aileen's height only reached Aidan's shoulders, it had a confident effect on her.
"Yes, sounds familiar?" Aileen tilted her head, taking a closer look at Aidan. "Hailee Tatum is my sister, the girl who recently married Ramon Tordoff. While Zia is my cousin…." a smile full of meaning etched on her face. "You definitely know Zia, right?"
Aileen only got to know about this piece of information just last night, after she heard Aidan's chattering that revealed several things about Zia Tatum.
In his drunken state, Aidan even mistook Aileen for Zia. Although Aileen certainly didn't mind at all, this information really left Aileen surprised and she couldn't believe that Aidan actually had an affair with Zia.
Aileen even got irrefutable evidence when she checked Aidan's cellphone and found several outgoing calls to Zia's number and several old chats that came from different numbers.
This situation was really tricky, but if Aileen could take advantage of it, then she could benefit herself.
And whether the Gevano family accepted her or not, with Aidan Smith's support, who needed the Gevano family, who wouldn't even accept her?
Aileen grinned slyly when Aidan asked her what she wanted.
"My request is not that much of a bother," Aileen began, shrugging her shoulders as if her next words weren't anything Aidan should worry about at all, but of course they would leave the opposite fact.
Instinct told Aidan that this woman wasreally a figure to watch out for.
==============
Hailee was really enjoying her honeymoon time and really didn't want to go home from this place.
It's just that, for one reason or another, they couldn't possibly extend their honeymoon any more than that had been scheduled.
During these ten days, Ramon had really treated Hailee very well, showing romantic sides that Hailee thought was impossible for him to have. But as it turned out, all doubts were proven wrong and Hailee felt very spoiled by this man.
There were even times when Hailee forgot that their marriage was only based on accidental introductions about two months ago and also the small quarrels that had occurred between them, making Hailee couldn't believe that this relationship would go smoothly.
But in reality, all of that didn't matter, because Ramon seemed to start loving her, or maybe it's just Hailee's intuition? Regardless, Hailee felt Ramon's genuine care.
And she was optimistic that their relationship would continue like this for a long time, especially if a child came in to the picture.
Yes, Hailee's face always blushed whenever she thought about it, with the frequency of their activities and the condition of both of them being so good, the possibility of her bearing a child soon was something that could not be overlooked.
Not to mention the fact that Ramon was also looking forward to it. Hailee still didn't think that Ramon was a family man type, but that's what he showed.
Ramon's eyes always seem to soften whenever he talked to small children and that's very cute according to Hailee.
Just like now, Ramon was talking patiently, explaining something to a boy about ten years old near the beach, while Hailee was sitting on the restaurant terrace staring at the two of them.
"Ramon will be a great father," a woman in her thirties said in a gentle tone as she watched how Hailee looked at Ramon.
Elena is the mother of the boy who is currently with Ramon. Just beside them, were her husband, carrying their daughter.
Elena and her husband were colleagues of Ramon and they were arguably quite close in business matters. This holiday at Crestgold was not their first vacation either.
While the husbands were playing with the children, here, the wives were looking at their husbands while talking lightly.
"Yes," Hailee agreed, smiling sweetly at Elena in front of her.
However, the smile slowly faded and Elena's next words could no longer reach her ears when Hailee saw a woman walking toward her with black glasses framing her face.
Even so, Hailee could easily recognize this woman. Wherever she was, it seemed that Hailee had a hate radar that could detect Giana's presence within a radius of several meters.
What was that woman doing here?! Hailee grumbled to herself, not at all happy with the presence of this shameless woman.
Meanwhile, Giana seemed to already know where Hailee was sitting and openly showed that by walking purposefully toward her.
Elena who was talking, immediately stopped and frowned, she then turned her body to see what Hailee was watching so intensely.
"Mrs. Smith?" Elena of course recognized Giana, as they were from the same line of work. "Is she on a vacation?" She muttered.
Oh, of course not. Giana Smith came to wreak havoc!
Seeing Giana's figure, Hailee immediately stood up from her seat and, instinctively, showed a very defensive attitude toward Giana.
Especially when the woman was standing right in front of her, taking off her sunglasses and grinning at Hailee with a mocking smile. A very subtle gesture of hostility.
On the other hand, Elena, who didn't understand the gravity of the situation at all, tried to greet Giana in a friendly manner and offered to sit down together. It's just that, Giana immediately rejected the polite offer and turned her attention for a moment from Hailee to Elena.
"No, thanks," she said politely. "I'm just here to talk to Hailee." Giana didn't even want to think of Hailee as the wife of Ramon Tordoff.
Hailee then gave Giana the same smile as she said, "No way, I'm busy, maybe another time."
