Chapter 317: TRYING TO SURVIVE (2)
A sense of déjà vu overcame Hailee, as she employed almost the same method when she tried to escape from Roland, Axcel's father, a few months ago, and she was now in the same situation with his son.
How could father and son have the same demonic nature? Hailee really couldn't understand how she got entangled with this father and son pair.
They're both assholes!
After Hailee drove the pen into Axcel's thigh, she then tried to stand up, and because of her haste, Hailee felt the pain in her stomach getting worse, as if she had just stuck the pen into her own stomach instead of Axcel.
The pain was so excruciating that it forced her to bend down and curl up on the floor again, whimpering in pain as everything else around her seemed to be spinning.
Ramon…
The name echoed in Hailee's head, she subconsciously called out her husband's name and tried to get her strength back.
Hailee was sure that Ramon would come, so what she needed to do now was to endure, waiting for Ramon to save herself and their baby.
Until then, Hailee must endure…
With the remaining strength she had, Hailee tried to move toward the door, she had to get out of this room, away from Axcel. Otherwise this man would kill her for what she had done to him.
Crawling on her arms and legs, Hailee tried to move as fast as she could.
Meanwhile, Axcel was still screaming in fear, seeing a pen stuck in his thigh. It seems he is not the type of man who can tolerate pain well, because maybe in his life no one has ever hurt him at all.
But, for now Hailee didn't care about any of that. Instead, Axcel's screams and cries gave her the strength to scramble away.
But, then she heard Axcel's voice which was like a beast growl, trying to stand up and pull Hailee back.
The anger and fury that radiated from the man left Hailee breathless. She couldn't run away again if Axcel managed to grab her.
She didn't want to think about what would happen after Axcel caught her...
================
Ramon stopped on a busy street, pulled over his car and slammed his fist into the steering wheel very hard, ignoring the fact that his arm was injured and had not been treated from the bullet fired by Leon's men, which only missed the target slightly.
The dried blood was still visible on his white shirt, and it wasn't a sight anyone could see in the heat of the day like this.
It's been twelve hours since Hailee disappeared and Ramon still hasn't gotten any leads.
It felt like there was a lot he had to do, but at the same time, there was nothing he could do because he felt all his efforts were in vain.
Ramon hated himself whenever he couldn't find a solution to a problem and wasn't in control of the situation.
And of the many situations, why should he feel like that at a like now?
Damn it!
Think!
Think!
City F…
What did he miss? There seems to be something related to the city of F…
Ramon tried to retrace his memories that he just got, replaying his conversations with Giana, the questions he asked her and also the casual things she told Ramon about Leon.
What? What?
There must be something to those memories.
And now, Ramon realized that there was a small part of his memory that still hadn't fully returned, especially the day on which he had the accident.
City F…
Giana had mentioned the city before… but, what were they talking about?
Ramon then reached for his cell phone to call David and in just one ringtone, the call was answered. "Find out all of the Dawson family's properties in City F. I want the report immediately."
Ramon still believed in Lexus' deduction, which said that Hailee was in one of Leon's properties in city F.
However, maybe this house isn't in the name of Leon Dawson or Herbert Long, maybe he's using another name…
Or maybe it is a family property…
That's when Ramon remembered something and right at the same time, the report from David entered the email on his cell phone.
After going through the report, Ramon was even more convinced of his suspicions and immediately started the car back at an insane speed, calling David.
"Bring everyone to this address," he said coldly.
================
Aileen and Giana finished their sumptuous lunch, but neither of them felt they could enjoy the meal when they didn't know what kind of situation they were in.
It was annoying to be forced to wait for something uncertain and Dillon started to get nosy by calling Giana over and over every half hour to ask where the woman was.
"Where are you? I'll pick you up," said Dillon over the phone. One could clearly hear the worried voice of the man. "You just left and didn't tell me where you were going."
"I don't have to say where I'm going and report my every move to you, Dillon," Giana answered Dillon with a hint of sarcasm. She felt her head throb from not sleeping last night and couldn't think clearly. Therefore, she didn't have enough energy to pretend to be kind and sweet in response to Dillon at this time.
Dillon was a little surprised to hear how Giana answered his question, but before he could say anything else, the woman had hung up.
On the other hand, Aileen looked at Giana with scornful eyes, she thought Dillon was very stupid to trust a snake woman like Giana.
However, before any further and unwanted disagreements arose, someone had opened the door of the room, revealing one of Leon's confidants.
"Chad," Giana called, and immediately approached the man. He was a man in his late forties with almost all white hair.
"Come with me," said Chad, then his eyes fell on Aileen. "You too."
Aileen had met Chad when she met Leon, therefore, she didn't feel there was anything wrong with following this man because the only reason Aileen was here was because of Leon.
However, what Aileen didn't expect was what she would see later…
