It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!
Chapter 45: EXPECTED FROM MY BROTHERChapter 45: EXPECTED FROM MY BROTHER
"Lee, what are you going to do now that everyone knows that you are marrying Ramon Tordoff. I'm not sure Aileen and Roland Dimatrio will just let you go," asked Ian in a worried tone.
For a moment Hailee didn't answer Ian. Her mind was confused. Hailee wanted to beat up the man, unfortunately, she could only do that in her imagination.
After all, who would dare throw a fist in the face of Ramon Tordoff? Are they looking for quick death?
Hailee wasn't tired of her life, 'yet'. She heaved a heavy sigh before saying in a half whisper. "I want to continue my original plan. Get out of this country. "
Ian didn't answer Hailee right away when he heard it. "Lee, do you realize that right now you are not only dealing with Aileen and Roland Dimatrio?" asked Ian carefully. "You've put yourself in the hands of Ramon Tordoff."
"I know. I know," Hailee replied in a tired voice.
"Maybe it would be better if you continue to pretend to be Ramon Tordoff's lover and marry him?" Ian voiced out his suggestion, which he was not at all sure if it could offer a solution to Hailee's problem.
"Seriously, how could it be a solution to this mess," said Hailee while rolling her eyes, she then walked to the bed and sat on the side. "First, he has a real lover about whom I don't even know a single thing, who that woman is or where she is, until now. If that woman shows up and claims I lied after the wedding, what do you think Ramon Tordoff will do? "
"Fry you until black and charred?" Ian answered without thinking.

"Well, at least I tried," said Ian, scratching his un-itchy head.
"And again, Aileen and Roland Dimatrio will definitely not stay silent if they see me with Ramon Tordoff, who knows what they will cook up to take me down." Hailee sighed irritably, she massaged her forehead, exasperated.
Then the atmosphere returned to silence as the two friends fell silent, deep in their own thoughts.
At that moment, Hailee heard the sound of the lock being opened and immediately realized that Ramon must have asked for a spare key to open the room.
Hailee couldn't possibly hide in her room, considering that this afternoon Ramon had broken the door. That was the reason why she hurriedly came upstairs and locked herself in Ramon's room to make this urgent call to Ian. And, looks like her time was up, since she could hear someone opening the door now.
"Ian, Ramon is coming, I'll call you later," said Hailee in a hurry.
"Lee, you know that Ramon Tordoff's influence doesn't know any boundaries, right. I'll help you as best I can, but I have limits on how far I can go," Ian said before Hailee disconnected the call.
"I understand. I'll call you again later after I decide what's best," said Hailee, who immediately disconnected the line without waiting for an answer from Ian.
Simultaneously, Ramon's towering figure walked into his own room and instinctively, Hailee became defensive.
"I'm here because you broke my door," Hailee said immediately, even before Ramon could say or ask anything.
However, the man just glanced at her and leisurely removed the tie that was still wrapped around his neck and unbuttoned his shirt.
"I don't mind that," he replied casually. "If you want to sleep here with me, I'm fine," added Ramon with a knowing smile as he saw Hailee glaring at him fiercely.
"I'm moving downstairs," Hailee said angrily. "And I don't want to talk to you!" She stomped off in a huff and made unnecessary noise while doing so, hard enough. "And don't try to talk to me!"
Hailee was half running toward the bedroom door, she was really pissed off and needed an outlet, but she knew what the risks were when she talked in a fit of anger and later she didn't want to regret her own impulsive words. At least, Ian always advised her like that because Hailee found it difficult to control her words whenever she was angry.
"I thought you were going to get angry, I was ready to listen to your babbling," said Ramon as he draped his black coat over the back of the sofa and sat down comfortably.
Hailee stopped walking and turned around, she was tempted to go up to Ramon and curse him, but then she remembered Ian's advice and chose to cast a fierce look at Ramon.
"Come here, let me hear what made you angry..." said Ramon in a friendly voice. This actually made Hailee feel even more emotional.
Why was this guy so handsome and annoying!? Oops! Peeved!
"You are still asking what made me angry?!"Hailee asked half screaming as she clenched her fists at her sides, trying to hold back an outburst.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"There is nothing wrong with announcing our marriage, except…" Ramon hung up his words and his expression changed from casual to serious. "Unless you're hiding something from me that you don't want others to know about."
He knew!
Hailee seemed to be able to hear the sound of an alarm ringing in her head, announcing that she was in big trouble.
Her instincts told her that Ramon had found out her identity and all her lies. However, why didn't he confront it head-on, but instead just let it go? It didn't make any sense, right?
Or was it just her being paranoid?
"I don't want to talk to you!" Hailee said again, but this time her voice was a little uncertain as there was a glimpse of fear in her eyes. In that instant, Hailee immediately walked out of Ramon's room, running away from the man who looked terrible.
When Hailee had left her room, Ramon made a phone call and just said. "Don't let that girl get out of the Tordoff's, watch her."
Ramon had to anticipate this in advance. Regardless of his ambition to take control of the Tatum's family business, there was no way he would just let Hailee go after the marriage announcement he had made.
On the other hand, halfway as Hailee was about to descend the stairs, she met Lexus who was looking at her worriedly.
"What's wrong?" Lexus asked, taking Hailee's hand so she would stop walking and explain what really happened. "You fought with Ramon?"
"You think?" Hailee asked fiercely, unable to hold back her irritation anymore, but then she realized she shouldn't be mad at Lexus. This man didn't know anything. "Sorry," Hailee muttered quietly.
"No need to apologize," said Lexus as he invited Hailee to sit on the nearest sofa. "My brother is difficult to handle, so I salute you who was able to endure his attitude and maintained a relationship for two years without anyone knowing."
Hailee winced at that.
"Did he held that press conference without your consent?" Lexus asked and looked at Hailee with concern as she nodded. "I knew it…"
