"What's going on in there?" abby asked as she locked the door behind her, making sure Ayana would not have the chance to escape again from this place.
And this also quenched Ayana's small desire to be free from Carlos, even though she knew it was impossible.
"Juan and Carlos are fighting," Ayana answered honestly.
As he said that, the two of them could hear the noise from inside and the commotion made the two young girls look at each other.
"Come, we have to look inside," Abby pulled Ayana's hand to come with her, without waiting for an answer from Ayana herself.
Inevitably, Ayana must come with Abby back inside, to the quarrel between Juan and Carlos, which, she does not understand at all, why the two men are so curious about the tragedy of the fire that hit him while in the city of R, ten years ago.
Ayana was not sure if she had met any of them before, but again, her memory was unbelievable for that period of time.
"AYANA! WHERE'S YOU!"
Carlos' voice boomed when he found out that Ayana was not there. The girl disappeared from his sight and he had been thinking a no-no.
Thinking Juan had told someone to take him away. Carlos felt he was not like himself at the moment.
Fighting with Juan after his secret is revealed about the search for Ayana's past in the city of R and now he is blatantly against the man.
Carlos felt that he was crazy, maybe this fever made his mind become insane.
Carlos doesn't know how far Juan knows about this, or how he knows about it. Did Nick tell you? Or has anyone else been spying on his movements?
Any possibility could have happened if this concerned Juan.
"AYANA!" Carlos yelled again and immediately came out of the kitchen to look for the girl, pushing Sam away from her.
Carlos just stopped screaming after he found Ayana was walking - half running towards him with Abby at his side.
"What's wrong?" ayana asked with a flat voice and a worried facial expression. "Are you okay?"
"Don't go a step if I don't let you!" roar Carlos angrily and when he turned around, he found Juan staring at him in a daze.
The man did not say anything, but if Juan could kill Carlos with a look he would have done it, especially when the man saw how Carlos gripped Ayana's wrist and made the girl grimace in pain.
However, even so, Juan still did nothing when Carlos walked past him while pulling Ayana with him.
"Don't start with me, Carl" said Juan, his voice like a sharp hiss and a warning.
"Why?" challenge Carlos, he stops a few meters away from Juan and pushes Ayana into a nearby room, closing the door tightly while Carlos confronts Juan.
Not far from them, Kyle and Sam, stand by in case these two men are going to fight back. However, it was not brave enough to interrupt the fierce words between the two.
"You know that I always get what I want" Juan said. "And if that girl turns out to be him, then you'll pay for every pain she feels." It was a threat, and Juan always kept his word.
A sweat began to appear on Carlos' forehead when he felt his head ache so much, but Carlos did not show it at all. This fever is really troublesome.
"And you should have learned of the tragic end to those who seek to challenge me" Juan replied fiercely. "They can no longer oppose anyone now." Which means these people are no longer alive.
Hearing that, Carlos only smiled cynically. "You think I've been following you all this time without learning anything?" ask with a challenging attitude. "I'm holding your 'card' and Juan, so be careful."
Juan did not change his expression at all when he heard how Carlos said that.
"And as for the 'pain'," Carlos spoke again. "I've hurt him enough and it's none of your business. She's my woman and you have no right to interfere with my pleasure."
Finished saying this, Carlos turned his body and went into the room where he had hidden Hailee earlier, leaving Juan who looked crimson withstanding anger.
Until Juan can prove that Ayana is the girl he is looking for, Juan cannot do whatever Carlos wants to the girl.
Although what Carlos said was quite bold and seemed so impulsive, but the words were right. Carlos holds almost all of Juan's secrets.
And if the two of them take this dispute to a worse level without careful thought, Juan and Carlos will only destroy each other.
And again, Juan still needs concrete evidence stating that Ayana is the little girl he's been looking for.
Without it, any dispute with Carlos would not be worth it.
"Boss?" Kyle approached Juan and asked in a soft voice as his boss stared fiercely at the closed door. "You want to do something?" tanyakanya.
On the other hand, hearing Kyle's question, Sam became more alert. He gestures for Abby to get away from this place and contact Carlos' other people.
Abby understood this and immediately moved away along with Dalia who had been pale to see the marriage of two men who usually seemed to get along with each other.
Meanwhile, Juan did not immediately answer Kyle's offer. He went back into silence as if he was thinking something out loud, before deciding;
"We went back to the office" said Juan, who immediately turned away, leaving Kyle looking puzzled, but in the end he followed Juan out of the apartment.
It was only when the two of them had left that Sam could breathe a sigh of relief. Of course Sam knows who Juan is and if possible he doesn't want to get involved in a bad situation with him.

Inside the room, Carlos locked the door and threw the key away as he approached Ayana who was standing timidly near the dresser.
Carlos stopped right in front of him and tilted his head, judging the girl. "Juan threatened me not to hurt you," he said, and Ayana did not understand what the words meant.
