Chapter 236: HAILEE CAME

Giana opened her eyes when she was sure that Dillon had fallen asleep, because after the sweetest sin they had committed was over, Giana didn't know how to deal with Dillon and chose to pretend to be asleep.

She needed time to think about how she should act or what her next step should be.

Giana was really playing with fire, which was none other than Dillon's feelings. Somehow, she knew that one day she would be burned, but for now, this was the only way she could think of to draw Dillon back to her.

Maybe now Dillon thought that Giana was trying to open her heart to him, even though what Giana felt for Dillon was still the same.

Giana felt so shameful for taking advantage of Dillon's feelings for her. The only man who had never hurt her, but she had to do all of this, because she couldn't think of any other way.

Giana needed Dillon, but not in the way that Dillon wanted her and for that, Giana felt bad for him.

It's just that, for now, guilt alone wasn't enough to stop Giana from carrying out all the plans swirling in her head.

Giana then turned to look at Dillon who was sleeping soundly, with his arms wrapped protectively around Giana's naked body.

"I'm sorry..." Giana whispered to Dillon in the silence of the night, she touched the man's face gently, tracing Dillon's firm jaw with her slender fingers.

================ 

Aileen was absolutely furious when she found out that Theodore had chosen for them to stay at the Gevano residence with his parents instead of the house they had planned for the two of them to live in.

This meant, Aileen had to face Mr. and Mrs. Gevano every day!

Dealing with Mr. Gevano may not be a difficult matter, but if she had to face Mrs. Gevano, Aileen really had to drain all her energy to keep her tongue from commenting or saying words that she would regret later.

Like for example this morning, where Mrs. Gevano tried to make her eat dishes she clearly didn't like, on the grounds that they were good for the baby.

Which, in the end Aileen had to vomit because she really couldn't eat the food.

Of course, the end of the story was predictable, where Mrs. Gevano grumbled and accused Aileen of being ungrateful for the attention she was giving her.

And guess what Theodore did when he saw his wife being scolded? Yes. He didn't do anything.

The man casually finished his coffee and breakfast and after that, went to the office without even saying a single goodbye to Aileen, as if she wasn't there.

F*ck!

This happened almost every day and the only way for Aileen to escape her hellish domestic life was to go to the office and immerse herself in her work.

However, this couldn't last long, because she had to think about how to get an 'abortion', as sooner or later, the people around her would notice that her body hadn't changed at all even though she was 'pregnant'.

Actually George had thought of all this, but Aileen didn't agree with his crazy idea, it was too extreme and she didn't want to harm herself.

Yes, George suggested that Aileen should fall down from the stairs.

And not just pretending, but Aileen had to really fall from there so that everything would look natural.

George was crazy to think Aileen would agree to that. Of course she rejected the suggestion which made George fumed mad. Again.

But, this time Aileen ignored the man's anger.

If she had to fall down from the stairs, George had better do it first and give her a demo of how badly one would be hurt.

Therefore, Aileen was currently pensive to think about the best way to do it and just at that moment, her secretary informed her that Hailee had come to visit.

"Hailee?" Aileen asked again to make sure she had not heard wrong. What did she come here for?

Hailee was the last person that crossed Aileen's mind to come and visit her. What did she really want by coming to this office? Was she going to start waging her claim over this company? And kick Aileen out?

No. It wouldn't be that easy, would it?

"Let her in," Aileen said into her intercom and after that she leaned her body against the back of the chair until the door opened revealing Hailee's face.

Hailee looked so different from what Aileen was used to, because in her mind, Hailee was a naïve girl who looked innocent, spoiled and easy to deceive.

Well, Hailee always looked like that in front of Aileen, because the latter always thought of her as her sister, so there's no need to put her guard up or show her harsh side, since all this time, Aileen had always been kind to her. At least that was what Aileen was trying to show.

"I didn't expect you to come here," Aileen stood up and greeted Hailee when she was standing in front of her, in a red dress and clutch bag in her hand.

The clothes Hailee was wearing did look simple, but the price behind all the things she was wearing wouldn't say so. After all, Hailee looked much more mature in this style.

"What part did you not expect?" Hailee did not sit on the chair in front of Aileen, instead she stood right in front of her, looking at her adopted sister with a sweet smile on her red lips. "Apart of me coming to this company or seeing me here?" she asked.

"Hailee, you never came to this company before. Even when our parents were still alive," Aileen answered, as she walked to the coffee maker. "I think you need a cup of coffee, I'll make it for you."

Hailee could feel the heat burning through her body when she heard Aileen mention her parents casually, but Hailee tried hard not to show it on her face.

Instead of running to Aileen and pulling her hair before banging her head against the wall, Hailee sat on the chair that Aileen had just vacated and said calmly, "I haven't drank coffee since my pregnancy was confirmed. The smell of coffee makes me sick."
