Hades' gaze was profound as he stared at Alanna. A smile remained on her smooth, pretty face.

He once said he liked it when she smiled. However, her smile was now an eyesore to him.

Sneering, he asked, "That eager to leave me?"

Alanna merely stared at him without responding. However, her answer was obvious.

Hades abruptly tightened his hold on her chin. "I told you, Alanna. Without my permission, don't you dare think about leaving. I hope you keep that in mind."

After saying that, he let go of her and turned to leave. With a resigned chuckle, Alanna washed up and lay in bed.

The next morning, Chelsey took a day off to keep Alanna company. She was worried that Alanna might be feeling down.

Alanna thought she was doing fine, though. Still, she didn't refuse Chelsey's goodwill.

They left early in the morning for the mall. While they shopped, Chelsey watched Alanna's expression closely.

Alanna knew she was worried and smiled. She felt amused. "I'm fine. You don't have to keep watc

    Alanna frowned. She immediately understood where Yves planned on bringing her."Yves, I don't want to go there."Yves frowned. "Ms. Jacinto, I'm not bringing you to Hades' birthday banquet. I'm bringing you out to have some fun. We're going to a club, The Royale."Alanna didn't know what Yves had in store for her. But she was not interested. She was not in the mood to party either.Yves noticed her lack of enthusiasm and began to panic."Ms. Jacinto, I'm not planning anything bad. Could you trust me just this once, please?"Alanna ended up compromising after looking at Yves. After all, Yves was the one who had treated her the best.She put on some light makeup and changed into a dress.Although she had barely dressed up, Yves was still stunned by her beauty. He could not help but question his brother.He had no clue how Hades could stomach looking at Melanie when he had someone as beautiful as Alanna by his side.She was so much prettier than Melanie."Let's go."Alanna too

    Alanna immediately paused when she heard Hades. But it only lasted a second before she continued walking out.Although she knew it was humiliating to leave now, she did not want to stay.Although it would look like she had no right to stay in that room if she left as soon as she came, she did not have the patience to deal with Hades and his friends. Terrence could not stand her. She could not stand him either. So, why should she torture herself by staying?As for Hades…Alanna laughed bitterly. Why would he ask her to stay when his first love was right by his side?She straightened up and walked toward the door with no hesitation. Hades' expression immediately darkened when he noticed Alanna was adamant about leaving.Yves noticed and quickly stopped Alanna. "Ms. Jacinto, you can't leave. You just got here."Alanna chuckled. "I'm sorry, Yves. I don't like it here."Yves frowned and glanced at Hades. He wanted Hades to ask Alanna to stay. But Hades only glared at Alanna. He

    "Wait for me in the car."Alanna did not say a word and got in the car.Hades took a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Melanie. But Melanie refused to take it.He sighed in exasperation and reached out to wipe her tears away.Alanna could only laugh bitterly when she saw them from inside the car. She really should not have come here today.Alanna lowered her head and stopped looking out the window.After a long time, Hades finally opened the car door and got in the car. "Ms. Jacinto, you're getting more daring each day."Alanna knew he was referring to her walking toward Michel while he was right there. But she did not have anything to say for herself. At that moment, she really did not want to sit next to Hades. She lowered her head and did not argue. She only said, "I shouldn't have come."Hades immediately frowned. "What? Do you feel like you were mistreated?"Alanna was quiet for a moment before she said, "No."Hades looked at her with a frown and did not

    Hades was already putting on his tie when Alanna woke up the next day. He stood fully clothed by the bed and said, "You can take a day off if you're tired."He had kept her up the whole night. He had only allowed her to rest after it was way past midnight.Alanna shook her head and sat up. She still had a lot of things to do in the company.Hades raised an eyebrow. "Then do you want to go to the company with me?"Alanna rejected the offer. "It's alright. I'll take public transport."Hades ignored her refusal and waited for her by the door.Alanna glanced at him and did not say anything else. She paused for a moment while she was changing. Then, she took out a box from her drawer. Inside the box were rosary beads for protection. She had gotten it as a gift for Hades.But she suddenly remembered his tux when he had asked her about his gift last night. So, she did not want to give it to him.She didn't want to give him something and watch him trample all over her sincerity.It

    "Let Melanie rest for a while."…Renee could immediately tell there was something wrong with Alanna the second she arrived at the company."Ms. Jacinto, what's wrong? Did something happen?"Alanna forced a smile and said, "Nothing's wrong. I just did not sleep well last night. How's the annual report coming along?""It's almost finished." Renee was still worried about Alanna. So, she said, "Ms. Jacinto, you can talk to me if something has happened. Although I might not be able to do much, at least there's one more brain helping to think of a solution."Alanna could not help but smile. "Thank you, Renee.""Why are you thanking me?" Then, Renee inched closer to Alanna and said, "Ms. Jacinto, did you hear the rumors? They're saying that Mr. Florentine did not get engaged yesterday."Alanna nodded and did not say anything else. In truth, she did not want to hear anything about Melanie and Hades for now. But she didn't stop Renee from speaking.Renee scoffed. "I'd like to see he

    Alanna was unsure of how she should answer Yves. She knew Yves was saying such things for her own good.After all, what could she do with Hades protecting Melanie except move on?However, she could not move on.Alanna tightened her grip on the file. She did not stay to chat with Yves and returned to the company after finishing her meal.When she returned to the company, her phone rang."Come up." Hades' cold voice rang out.Alanna stood rooted to the spot for a few seconds before heading upstairs.After reaching his office, she saw Hades standing by the window. He was facing the world outside. Although she could only see his back, she could tell he was in a bad mood."Mr. Florentine, why did you call me here?"Hades turned and looked at her with an intense gaze. "Have you finished your lunch?""Yes." Hades' expression was cold as he walked toward Alanna. "Tell me. What else did you do besides have lunch?"Alanna immediately frowned. "I'm sorry. I don't understand what you'

    Renee hurriedly poured Alanna a glass of water. "Ms. Jacinto, are you alright?"Alanna took the cup and shook her head. The depressing feeling in her heart was growing. She finally understood that she was no match against Melanie.As long as Hades protected Melanie, she could not do anything to her!Alanna suddenly laughed as her tears fell uncontrollably. She admitted defeat. She had lost.She no longer wanted to dwell on that matter anymore.She didn't want to have anything to do with Hades and Melanie either. There were many things that she wanted to do.Hades was a dream from her childhood. But he was also the one who had ripped that dream into shreds.She had finally come to her senses. Perhaps the man in her heart…Perhaps he had died on the beach back when she was 17. In reality, all that was left was devastation and the pain from realizing it.…Alanna cheered up and forced herself to stop thinking of those unhappy matters. After ending her shift, she collected her

    The smile on Alanna's face froze.She did not tell Hades about her plans tonight. She would probably not be able to join if she did tell him.Hades did not care about her. But his possessiveness over her was overwhelming.Alanna could never figure out what Hades was thinking. It was just like how she could not figure out why he kept her by his side when he cared about Melanie so much.A heaviness in Alanna's heart immediately resurfaced at the thought of Melanie and Hades. Although she had tried her best to ignore them, she was still upset.Jeff frowned slightly after noticing the visible change in Alanna's mood."Did you two fight?"Alanna returned to her senses and shook her head. "No, we didn't."Jeff nodded and did not expose her. "Just tell me if you need anything. I help people based on their reasoning, not on kinship."Alanna smiled and nodded.Soon, Travis returned.Jeff looked at Alanna and said, "Let's talk after the conference ends." "Alright."After separating

    He casually picked it up and glanced at it, his eyes filled with displeasure. "Who is this pretty boy?"Alanna looked at the snow outside."Can't you tell? A handsome guy."Hades frowned. "Is he more handsome than me?"Alanna couldn't be bothered to answer him.Hades lowered his eyes and held her waist. "Ms. Jacinto, are you feeling needy?"Alanna furrowed her brows. "Hades, can you be serious?"But Hades shamelessly replied, "If you have any needs, just give me a call. I'll be at your service anytime and anywhere."Alanna glared at him. "Hades, have some dignity."Hades chuckled. "Ms. Jacinto, are you doubting my abilities?"Alanna kicked his leg without hesitation.Hades laughed. "Feeling better now?"Alanna paused before nodding slightly. "Thank you.""Silly girl. Why are you thanking me?" Alanna smiled and got back to her work. She glanced at the man on the other side, who was busy replying to emails on his phone."If you're busy, you don't have to come over here on

    Alanna was surprised. She then looked up at the man before her.She had a guarded expression.The man chuckled and handed her another business card. "I'm Mason Lowe and a classmate of Grayson's. I've heard a bit about you from him. I happened to have a business meeting recently that required translation. Would you be interested in taking up the job?"Alanna remained wary."Mr. Lowe, since you're Grayson's classmate, it would be more convenient to talk to him. I have something to attend to today, so I'll take my leave."With that, she pulled Chelsey and headed out. After their figures disappeared, Mason chuckled."She's quite guarded."He muttered to himself before lighting a cigarette. Just then, his phone rang. A woman's voice came from the other end."Didn't I ask you to approach Alanna? Why haven't you made any progress after such a long time?"Mason took a drag of his cigarette."Do you think it's easy to get close to Alanna? She's always surrounded by bodyguards. I o

    Chelsey didn't know how to comfort Alanna."Ally, you need to move on."Alanna nodded without saying much. There was nothing else she could do.While the doctor examined Chelsey's wound and prescribed her medication, a commotion arose outside.Michel and the dog's owner had followed them to the clinic."Chelsey!"As soon as Michel entered the clinic, he called out.Chelsey gave him a sidelong glance. "What are you doing here?"Michel chuckled. "I came to check on you after hearing you got bitten."Chelsey scoffed. "What for? I got bitten by a dog, not you."Michel clicked his tongue. "Even if we were to bite each other, you would be the one who bit me."Chelsey aimed a kick at him. But before she could reach him, someone shouted, "Michel!"Chelsey immediately retracted her foot and glared at Michel. "Get out of the way. Stop being an eyesore."Michel chuckled. "Chelsey, are you reluctant to kick me?"Without hesitation, Chelsey aimed another kick at him. This time, she hi

    Justin entered the room just in time to hear Alanna's questionHe paused briefly before taking a deep breath and walking up to her."Ms. Jacinto."Alanna turned around and saw Justin coming in with a stack of forms.Her lips twitched. But before she could speak, Justin beat her to it."Ms. Jacinto, what brings you here?" His demeanor was natural, showing no signs of evasion.Alanna pursed her lips and smiled slightly. "I'm here accompanying Chelsey for her shot."With that, she glanced back at the little girl."Is this your daughter?"Justin nodded, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at the girl."Yes, she's my daughter."Alanna's fingers twitched. "May I hold her?"Almost instinctively, the nanny holding the girl took a step back.Alanna's hands froze. She said, "Sorry."Justin's brow furrowed instantly.He glanced at the nanny before explaining softly to Alanna."Aashika was born prematurely and has a very weak immune system. We always disinfect before holdin

    After leaving the detention center, Alanna seemed lost in thought.Although Tucker hadn't revealed much, she couldn't shake off her suspicions about Edmund."Do you think it could be Edmund?" Hades remained silent."The key question now is, if it's Edmund, why would he harm your mother?"Alanna lowered her gaze.Hades was right. She wondered why.Since learning that Tara was being targeted, she had thought of countless possibilities. Who could be behind the threats, and why would anyone want to harm such a fragile woman?But she still had no answers.Hades felt a pang of heartache."We'll find out eventually. Don't worry, if it's him, he'll show his true colors sooner or later."Alanna looked out the window and responded in a hum.Hades looked at her and gently caressed her cheek."Ally, don't feel sad. It hurts me."Alanna brushed his hand away. "Stop touching me all the time."Hades' mouth twitched."I've already asked Margaret to make preparations for the New Year.

    Alanna glanced at him and brushed off his hand.Hades' eyes twinkled with amusement."Is it okay to spend the New Year's Eve together?"Alanna turned her head and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall.It was already mid-December.The New Year was approaching.Their baby was already three months old.If nothing had gone wrong, their New Year's Eve would have been filled with joy.Alanna withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and straightened her clothes.Hades saw the glimmer of moisture in her eyes when she lowered her head.His heart ached, and he quickly hurried over to hug her."Everything will be fine."Alanna fought back her tears and nodded before pushing him away.Hades looked at her determined expression with a sense of helplessness."Let's go see Tucker. Maybe we can get some information about your mother."Alanna nodded and followed him out.After the two left, Chelsey rolled her eyes in the room."What a world! I have to see them being all lovey-dovey ri

    In Northlight Group at Brunstein City, Edmund listened as his assistant reported everything to him."You mean, Olivia has been investigating Tara recently?"The assistant nodded. "Yes, and she's been very thorough."Edmund's pen snapped in his hand."Besides that, did she find out anything else?""She already found out about Tara's death."Edmund's face turned grim. "Got it."After speaking, he paused briefly. "Prepare something for me, and also, invite Mrs. Campbell to have lunch with me at the company."Olivia arrived at Northlight Group before noon.Before she could enter the office, she heard Edmund making a phone call."Mr. Florentine, I can help stabilize the stock price of Florentine Group with Northlight, but I hope you won't vent your anger on Alanna. Yes, she's important to me. You could say, even more important than Hudson."Olivia's steps abruptly halted. The smile on her face gradually disappeared.It wasn't until Edmund's secretary called out to her that Olivi

    Alanna's grip on her phone tightened slightly."Hades, are you... really okay?"Hades chuckled. "I'm just trying to get some sympathy from you. Is it working?"Alanna pursed her lips and remained silent.Hades chuckled. "Go to bed early."After a pause, he added, "Also, try not to take sleeping pills.""Where are you?"Alanna suddenly asked.Hades was stunned.He glanced at the villa in the distance. "I'm taking a walk outside.""Taking a walk in the dead of winter?"Hades chuckled. "Ms. Jacinto, are you showing concern for me?"Alanna scoffed. "Go ahead and enjoy your walk."Hades quickly responded, "I'm outside handling some business. I just finished and suddenly missed you. So I wanted to call you."Alanna pursed her lips."Hades, we're partners now. From now on, don't hide anything from me."Hades' voice softened."Alright, I won't hide anything from you."Alanna didn't say much and hung up the phone directly.She silently looked at the sleeping pills on the beds

    Afterward, he sneered, extinguished his cigarette, and drove away.Just as he left the residential area, a car suddenly came speeding towards him.Hades jerked the steering wheel.But the car behind him turned around and came back in his direction.Hades narrowed his eyes and stepped on the gas pedal, rushing forward.However, he didn't intend to shake off the car this time.Instead, he maintained a distance that allowed him to keep sight of the car. It was neither too close nor too far. He ensured that the car couldn't catch up with him and he wouldn't lose sight of it.The scenery outside became increasingly desolate.At some point, they were already on the outskirts.Surprisingly, Hades lit a cigarette at this moment.Then, he sent a location to Yves."Come handle the accident."Hades' car suddenly went uphill before rushing down a steep slope.The person in the car behind widened their eyes.Below the steep slope was a wall!They slammed on the brakes.
