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
"I apologize, Mr. Florentine. That nurse was an intern."Hades frowned. "You can fire that nurse who was a fan of Melanie."The nurse's expression changed.Wasn't he Melanie's rumored boyfriend? Why would he want to fire Melanie's fan?After a moment, she remembered Alanna.She looked at the woman lying on the bed. Her airway was obstructed due to an allergic reaction to contraceptives.Her eyes flickered as she looked at Alanna with a strange gaze.Alanna pretended not to see the nurse's gaze.After putting on the IV drip, Alanna closed her eyes.Hades stood at the side. After some silence, he asked, "Are you still feeling sick?"After Alanna had reached the hospital, the doctor prescribed her some medication to fight the allergies.However, the doctor decided to give her an IV drip due to her intense allergic reaction.Her symptoms had probably toned down slightly after she had taken the medication."I'm feeling much better now."Hades nodded. "Are you hungry?""I'm no
Alanna immediately frowned. Luckily, she reacted fast enough.That woman was Janice's mother, wasn't she?She suddenly felt amused by the situation. She was the victim here, but why was everyone treating her as if she was the one in the wrong?Will forgiving them make what they did right?Then, who would pay for all the hurt and pain she suffered?Pain flashed across Alanna's eyes. "Ma'am, please let go of me! Get up!" There was anger in her tone.The woman hugged her tighter when she heard Alanna's words."Ms. Jacinto, please forgive my husband and my daughter. I beg you. I'll do anything you want. My family will even face bankruptcy if you want. It doesn't matter. I beg that you forgive them!"Alanna chuckled coldly. "You're begging the wrong person!"Alanna's tone was still considerably calm. "You should beg your daughter to tell you the truth instead of begging me for forgiveness! She can plead for leniency if she tells the truth."The woman froze slightly. "What do you
She had always thought that Hades was indifferent toward that incident.She had always believed he never cared about their child.But now…Suddenly, she didn't know how she should face Hades. She didn't know why he would harm Janice's father.But no matter the reason, Alanna could not deny that her heart was in chaos.Did he feel distressed when he found out that the child was gone?Did he grieve for their dead child in secret?Alanna's heart was in shambles.…When Hades returned, he saw Alanna sitting by the bedside in a daze.He raised an eyebrow, and his expression quickly darkened. He walked up toward Alanna and grabbed her hands. Then, he removed the needle from her hand."Alanna! What were you thinking?"Alanna returned to her senses. Only then did she notice the bump on her hand.She must have moved too much just now and caused the needle to move by accident.She looked down and held a cotton swab to the wound. Then, she turned to Hades and said, "Thank you."Had
After Alanna finished her IV drip, most of her allergy symptoms were gone.The doctor came to give her some advice and told her she was free to leave.Hades looked at her."Can you walk?""I can."Hades nodded, and they left the hospital together.On the way back, Alanna kept staring out of the car window.It was a silent night in Jagersville.Only the sound of music floated in her ear. She had chosen most of the music in Hades' driving playlist.He liked jazz, whereas she preferred classical music.She had a hidden motive in choosing the classical piece currently playing.She hoped that Hades would be able to see the good in her and fall for her. Unfortunately, he didn't. He never did.As the classical piece was reaching an end, Alanna retracted her gaze."Can I repeat that song?"Hades raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Do you like music like that?"Alanna did not answer him. She just reached out and hit repeat on the song.They fell into silence once again."What ar
