Alanna did not dare to move. She had never questioned Hades' stamina. He had caused her many sleepless nights while they did the deed.Hades smirked when he noticed that she was docile. "Go to sleep."…The next day, Hades was no longer by Alanna's side when she woke up. The spot beside her was cold to the touch.She thought Hades had already left.So, she froze when she opened the bedroom door and saw Hades watering the flowers.Hades heard the noise and looked up."Are you awake? You should wash up and prepare for breakfast."Alanna hesitated momentarily before asking, "Why didn't you go to work this morning?"Hades took his handkerchief to clean his hands. Then, he turned to look at her."Ms. Jacinto, when are you planning to go back to work?"Alanna frowned."I want to rest for a while more. Didn't you say I could extend my leave if I hadn't rested enough?Hades did say that. But now, he regretted it.Now that she could go and work for other people, she could defini
But she also wasn't willing to give up like that.Chelsey looked at her and frowned. "Also, even if money wasn't a problem, are you willing to take the risk?"Your mom's life will be in danger if there is even a slight mistake during the process of the transfer. Staying in her current hospital is her best choice now."Alanna's frown deepened. After a while, she said, "I'll think about it."Chelsey nodded and took an invitation card from her bag."This is an invitation to our class gathering. The committees will count the number of people going tonight in the group. Just remember to RSVP.""Alright."The two of them began to chat when Chelsey suddenly received an emergency call from the hospital and had to leave.Alanna was about to go home when she paused after walking past a men's clothing shop. Alanna had bought Hades a number of gifts. But she rarely bought him any branded items. The most expensive thing she bought for her was a branded suit. It took her six months to sa
It took Alanna a long time to calm down after leaving the mall.She hailed a cab to Tara's hospital and stayed there until the sky turned dark.By the time she went home, Hades was already home.Hades raised an eyebrow when he saw her come in. "Are you a wild cat? Don't you know what time it is?"Alanna looked at him, and her tone was slightly rude. "Mr. Florentine, do you always have so much time to spare?"Hades' expression darkened. "Alanna, what got you in such a bad mood?"Alanna turned to look at Hades and suddenly remembered how Melanie had humiliated her.She thought she could not be affected. But at the end of the day, she still cared.Alanna didn't want to speak to Hades anymore. She turned and headed straight to the bedroom.Hades came in with a dark expression. "Alanna, did I upset you?"Alanna paused for a moment. "You didn't."Hades' tense expression did not relax after hearing her answer. "Then what's with the attitude?"Alanna's lips twitched. She wanted to
However, Hades couldn't stand it and tightened his grip around Alanna's waist.Alanna bit his lips angrily, which caused Hades to hiss in pain while releasing her."Alanna, what is wrong with you?"Alanna glared at him and did not say anything.Hades forcefully rubbed her lips. They were red and swollen from the kissing. They looked luscious and beautiful.Hades smirked and put his fingers into her mouth.Alanna immediately felt humiliated. It was upsetting as she felt like she was just a toy for him to play with.She immediately began to struggle.Hades held her by the chin and said, "Don't move!"His hands roamed in her mouth before landing on her teeth. "Your teeth are sharp! Don't you dare bite me again!"Then, he removed his hand.Alanna glared at him and turned to head to the bathroom.Hades looked at Alanna's livid expression and felt inexplicably better. Alanna looked much livelier like that.It was much better than her depressed and sad state. It was also much bet
Melanie was standing at the door with a few bags in her hand. She laughed when she saw Alanna."Ms. Jacinto, you don't mind me coming here to give Hades a few things, do you?"Alanna looked at her, chuckled, and turned to go back in.What right did she have to mind?She reached the study and knocked on the door. "Mr. Florentine, Ms. Smith is here."Hades was looking through his documents. Confusion flashed across his eyes when he heard Alanna.After a while, he said, "Send her here."Melanie was standing in the living room. She looked extremely upset.Alanna's lips were very swollen. They were still swollen even though Alanna had just taken a bath. In fact, her lips look much more luscious after her bath.Anyone with eyes could tell that they were swollen after being kissed.Melanie gritted her teeth. Her expression darkened even more when she arrived at Hades' study and saw his injured lip.Hades looked at her and chuckled. "Why are you here at such a time?"Melanie glared
Melanie felt aggrieved. "I didn't say anything. I just wanted Alanna to help me pick some clothes for you, and she got upset. Maybe Alanna thinks I shouldn't be buying clothes for you." Melanie's tears came quickly.Alanna was increasingly amazed by Melanie's acting skills. "Yes, Ms. Smith, as long as you understand. You shouldn't buy clothes for someone else's boyfriend in the future. It's not appropriate!"The words "someone else's boyfriend" changed Melanie's expression instantly. She even stopped crying.She glanced at Alanna and then looked at Hades in shock. Hades leaned back in his chair and showed no intention to deny it.Suddenly, Melanie threw all the bags in her hands at Hades and ran out crying.Hades looked at Alanna. After a while, he let out a cold laugh. "Are you happy now?"Alanna looked at him. "Didn't you say it was okay to call each other boyfriend and girlfriend in public?"Hades chuckled, but his eyes were cold.He stood up and walked over to Alanna. His l
Chelsey finally sensed that something was off with Alanna's mood. "What's wrong? Did something happen? Did that jerk Hades bully you again?" Alanna's nose tingled sharply. She wanted to confide in Chelsey but found the disgraceful nature of her feelings hard to voice. Ultimately, she simply said, "It's nothing. It's just a bit of a cold."Chelsey clicked her tongue. "It's getting colder these days. Dress warmly. You haven't fully recovered yet. You need to take good care of yourself." "Okay." They chatted a bit more before hanging up.The doorbell rang again. Alanna opened the door and found Henry standing outside with a bag and a box in hand. "Mr. Florentine asked me to prepare these clothes and jewelry for you. He says you're starting work tomorrow." Alanna glanced at them, took them, and set them aside casually. "Thank you for this."Henry seemed hesitant. Alanna asked, "Is there something else?" After a moment, he spoke up. "Ms. Jacinto, the person currently in your
Alanna set her glass down, and Hades poured her another. As she drank more, Hades' brow eventually began to furrow.Alanna placed her glass in front of him. "Pour, Hades. Why have you stopped pouring?"Hades suddenly found it meaningless. When he had come back, he was indeed angry. He felt that Alanna truly didn't regard him at all. Challenging Melanie in front of him was one thing, but she couldn't believe she would discard his gifts so carelessly!So, he wanted to tease her a bit. But now, he found no pleasure in tormenting a drunk.Hades pushed the bottle aside and carried Alanna into the bedroom. This time, Alanna was genuinely drunk. Despite her usually decent tolerance, she couldn't handle drinking like this.Hades carried her into the bedroom, and she immediately rushed into the bathroom.As he watched Alanna vomiting miserably, Hades' expression darkened as he went to fetch a cup of water. When she finally finished, he pulled her up. "Drink some water!"Alanna refused, a
