"Drive safely, Mr. Florentine."Hades arched an eyebrow at her.Then, he passed her his necktie. "You should do more than just sweet talk," he said.Alanna took it. After a moment of silence, she still went over and put it on for him.Then, just as she backed down, Hades abruptly grabbed her around the waist.His gaze fell on her collarbone, which was now more pronounced due to her weight loss. "You're too thin; you should eat more," he remarked.Alanna nodded casually. "Sure."However, Hades showed no signs of letting her go. She frowned and was about to ask if there was anything else he needed when he suddenly lowered his head.His warm lips pressed against hers. He broke through her defenses and deepened the kiss.It wasn't until Alanna started struggling that he released her. She gasped for breath.Hades chuckled and wiped her lips with his finger. "Call me if anything's up."Alanna dodged his finger and agreed. "Sure."When he saw her attempt at avoiding him, he pulled
Terrence was standing at the door with a smile on his face. "What a coincidence, Ms. Jacinto."Alanna didn't expect to meet him here. But now, she refused to speak to him. "I have something to attend to. I'll be taking my leave."However, Terrence promptly stood in her way.He'd been in a terrible fix trying to sort out several civil dispute cases recently. Today, he was here to talk about the case progression. He never thought he'd bump into Alanna.Since he encountered her, he decided he couldn't let her slip away."What's this, Ms. Jacinto? Trying to avoid me?" he asked.Alanna felt a surge of annoyance. She felt disgusted whenever she saw Terrence now. She couldn't understand how she'd wronged him.Was he putting her in a difficult situation just because she refused his suggestion?Or was it because she had taken Melanie's place that he was here to speak out for Melanie?Regardless, Alanna refused to say anything more to him. "Seems like you're aware of that."Then, she h
Terrence instantly lost all patience. "Just pretend you never saw anything, Mr. Lawson."Terrence shoved Shane aside and approached Alanna once again.Shane quickly signaled to the others. "Call the cops."Terrence smirked. "Mr. Lawson, do you still want to make a living in Jagersville?"Shane laughed. "Of course I do. But I can't just watch as something like this takes place in my firm, can I?"Terrence snorted. He'd never been at such a disadvantage. The slap, in particular, fed his anger the more he thought about it. How dare that bitch hit him?He grabbed Shane's collar. "I said you should pretend you saw nothing. Do you not understand me?"Shane remained calm and composed as he looked at Terrence. "I have surveillance cameras installed around here, Mr. Abbott."Terrence smirked and landed a punch on Shane's face. "So what if you do? I'll hit you all the same!"He was already frustrated recently, what with all sorts of troubles cropping up in his company. And now, Alanna a
The bleak wind blew as Hades stood there in his coat.Although he was just standing there, Alanna tensed.Her mind buzzed.She did not expect to see Hades after calling Yves.She also wasn't sure if Hades had overheard what Shane had just said.Shane immediately frowned when he saw Hades.Talk about timing.On the other hand, Terrence was thrilled and smirked when he saw Hades."Hades, did you hear them? I'm not trying to falsely accuse anyone here. "Mr. Lawson showed off his strength today. He didn't even care about his career in Jagersville. He was even willing to hit me to play the hero for Ms. Jacinto." Hades turned to look at Terrence before turning to Alanna. Then, he chuckled."Ms. Jacinto, you have quite a knack for stirring up trouble."Alanna's expression was slightly tense.Hades walked over and touched the handprint on her neck."I heard you were doing all this out of jealousy?""I wasn't!" Alanna immediately denied it."Then, why did you do it? Can you ex
Hades immediately raised his eyebrow.He smiled at Alanna, but he did not look happy."What do you have to say to me?"Alanna turned to look at Shane. "Mr. Lawson, please wait outside for a moment."Shane looked at Alanna with slight worry.However, Alanna only said, "It'll be quick."Shane looked at Hades and nodded in the end.After Shane left, Alanna looked up and met Hades' gaze."Mr. Florentine, Mr. Lawson has things he needs to do."Hades reached out to grab her hand instead. His slender fingers glided gently around her wrist.It was as if he was playing with a fun toy."So?"Alanna took a deep breath. "So, can you let Mr. Lawson leave?"Hades smiled."Ms. Jacinto, what are you so afraid of?"What was she afraid of?She was afraid that the nanny's fate would befall Shane.That nanny had been fired after merely upsetting Hades.So, if Shane were to make Hades livid, he might no longer have a career in Jagersville.She didn't think Shane should sacrifice himself
Alanna immediately began to struggle.After everything that had just happened, she wasn't willing to do it with him tonight.But Hades did not give her a chance to protest. He was using all of his strength to exert dominance.His body began to heat up as Alanna was now trapped in his embrace.He understood her body well.But suddenly, Alanna's body began to relax.He took that opportunity to force his thighs in between her legs.They began to kiss intimately inside the bright elevator.Alanna opened her eyes only to close them again.Hades chuckled and asked shamelessly, "Ms. Jacinto, why did your body suddenly go soft like putty?"Hades had always been a bastard during sex. He would whisper obscene things into Alanna's ears every time they did it. It tended to make her go red and shy.But today, Alanna only felt humiliated.She didn't want this. Yet her body could not help but react toward him.Hades was delighted by her reaction.Alanna had a flexible body. She probably
It was an anti-inflammatory cream for the private parts."I'm sorry. I was too excited and got a bit rough."Alanna looked uncomfortable but quickly returned to her polite and distant behavior."I can do it myself."Hades narrowed his eyes at her. "Are you sure you can do it yourself?"Alanna looked at the salve. "I'm sure."Hades did not hand the salve over to her. Instead, he pulled her toward him."Why are you being shy? It's not like I've never seen it before."Alanna looked uncomfortable.At the end of the day, there was still something between her and Hades.She could sleep with him as she was taking his money.But she did not want to do anything intimate with him."I really can do it myself."She wanted to take the salve, but Hades did not give it to her.She watched as Hades' expression darkened gradually, so she gave up.After applying the salve, Hades went to the bathroom to wash his hands."Rest for a while. There'll be some other medication for you to take l
Alanna woke up in a daze and saw Hades helping her into a set of clothes."Why do you have another fever? Are you in any discomfort?"Alanna heaved heavily. "I don't feel well at all."It even felt uncomfortable for her to breathe as it felt like there was something stuck in her throat."Hades, I can't breathe."Then, she began to cough and felt a wave of nausea.Hades did not hesitate and carried her out of the room.…Hades drove quickly, and they soon arrived at the hospital.After the doctor understood her situation, the doctor asked her to do an allergy test.After the results were out, the doctor asked, "Do you take birth control?"Hades looked at Alanna and said, "She just took some."The doctor nodded. "Alright. Then, the results are clear. She's allergic to birth control pills. I've already prescribed some medication for her. "She'll just need to do an IV drip later. You should be more careful in the future. Her allergic reaction is quite intense. Don't let her e
