Giana didn't expect that Zia would turn around and confront her like this. She was quite surprised that this woman had the guts to talk to her in person, considering how she looked so restless throughout the wedding when she found out she had attended too.
"You want to act like you're a victim in your marriage?" Zia asked. She no longer cared about Hailee who was still standing beside her and listening to every word she said. "You're not that holy Mrs. Smith. Don't pretend to be a victim when you committed the same sin."
Okay, at this point Hailee was really confused as to what was really going on. Therefore, she could only remain silent and observe where this conversation would lead to.
Meanwhile, Aileen did the same. She looked so calm observing the two women who were fighting, watching them as if she was watching her favorite television show.
"Yes, I did the same." Giana smiled mockingly. "Why? You feel relieved after hearing that?" and this was the first time she had ignored Hailee's presence there because her focus was on other people now.
"Then what do you want to do?" Zia narrowed her eyes dangerously. She didn't try to hide her anger. "Telling everyone what I've done? So that we can be in the same dirt?" Zia took a step closer. "I really don't like being threatened."
Giana didn't back down when she saw the fury in Zia's eyes because she was the one who provoked her. "Of course not," replied Giana in a toneless voice. "You can get the man. Besides, I don't need him anymore."
In other words, Giana gave Zia something she no longer needed and this really offended Zia.
"You're very happy, aren't you, now that you can get him all to yourself?" Giana lowered her head so she could whisper into Zia's ear. "A man who doesn't even dare to take action properly. Were it not for this matter, I can confirm that you two would forever be in that shameful relationship. You should be thanking me for causing this trouble."
Zia gritted her jaw, clenching her fists so hard that her knuckles turned white. Shame and low self-esteem washed over her strongly when she heard what Giana said and realized that she was right.
Her relationship with Aidan would not go the way she wanted and Aidan would never divorce Giana, no matter how many times he said that he loved her, were it not for the scandal that hit Giana and forced Aidan to take this path.
"Why are you silent? Now you realize that what I said was true?" Giana asked triumphantly.
Zia really could not accept this defeat. She also had a big ego to just step back and show that she had lost to Giana.
Therefore, glancing at Aileen, Zia said, "I don't know what your original intention for coming to this wedding was, but I guess I should tell you this. Just in case you still don't know."
Aileen who got a glance from Zia, frowned in confusion. What would this woman say?
"You know that Aidan not only had an affair with me, but he also slept with her." Zia nodded toward Aileen and watched Giana's reaction.
And it was true as Zia suspected that Giana was not aware of this. A flash of genuine surprise crossed the woman's beautiful eyes, though it didn't last long as Giana immediately changed her facial expression again to one of being unconcerned.
"So what?" asked Giana, to overcome her surprise. "I don't care which bitch he's been sleeping with. Everything is the same in my eyes."
Zia laughed sarcastically when she saw Giana's attempt to cover it up. "I just wanted to tell you that. And I think you're smart enough to make any kind of deal with that woman so easily. Just make sure you stab her first, before she does that to you."
After saying that, Zia grabbed Hailee's hand and they continued their journey toward Diego who was waiting for them with a searching gaze.
Although Zia couldn't reply to the way Giana humiliated her, at least she had given the two people a sense of unease and concern. Maybe now they were working together, but it was possible that they would stab each other in the future. Because this was how their world worked.
"Zia, is there something you didn't tell me?" Hailee asked as they walked toward Diego, she deliberately slowed down her pace so she could ask this. "What's your relationship with Aidan Smith?" Hailee asked carefully.
Hailee had a bad feeling about this and she needed to confirm it with Zia. Hailee just couldn't believe that was what her cousin had done.
On the other hand, at first Zia refused to answer the question and preferred to remain silent, but when they almost reached Diego's little group, Zia said softly and quickly. "I had an affair with Aidan Smith during his marriage to Giana."
Hailee felt her world spinning when she heard this directly from Zia. How could the Zia she had known for so many years do such a thing? With the husband of Giana? Seriously?
Hailee didn't know what kind of expression she had right now because her shock couldn't be overcome quickly. Therefore, when Uncle Diego congratulated her on the pregnancy, she could only stare at her uncle with a furrowed brow, as if she didn't understand what he just said.
"Why are you giving me such an expression?" Diego asked, still laughing and hugging Hailee carefully. "Your parents would have been very happy tohear the news of your pregnancy. I'm happy to hear that! Soon I will be a grandfather!"
Maybe for some people who heard the conversation, it was happy news, but not everyone could say that they feel same.
Giana stood transfixed when she heard this. Hailee is pregnant? She's pregnant with Ramon's child?
She didn't know what she was feeling now, because she felt a strange feeling running through her body. It was so strange that it made her heart beat faster. What is it? Anger?
