As he spoke, Hades began unbuttoning his shirt. Alanna then noticed his shirt was stained with blood. She paused, but before she could speak, Hades removed his shirt.

He discarded it into the trash and headed straight into the bathroom without a word.

Alanna's gaze lingered on the shirt in the bin. It was then she noticed the heavy scent of blood in the room. Hades was no saint, and his hands were not clean. It was a fact Alanna had considered before.

Rarely had she seen him engage in physical confrontations, with the incident at the club being an exception. What had prompted this second occurrence was unclear to her.

Hades didn't take long in the shower.

When he came out, the dishes on the table had cooled down somewhat. Alanna warmed them up in the kitchen.

Once everything was reheated and back on the table, she mentioned, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

However, Hades suddenly grasped her wrist. "Sit down and eat something with me."

Alanna hesitated for a mo

    Alanna emerged from the apartment into the gently falling snowflakes. Yet, all she could see was Hades' darkened expression when she spoke those words. She knew those words would displease him, but she said them anyway. She didn't want to harbor any more hope if this relationship was destined to end.Taking a deep breath, Alanna suppressed the sourness in her heart. She glanced back at the still-lit apartment and let out a bitter laugh before turning to leave.Hades remained seated on the couch inside the apartment with a cold expression. After what felt like ages, he suddenly let out a cold laugh.He felt like she must have been looking forward to the end of their agreement, as being with him was just making do.Normally, Hades might have admired Alanna's rationality and clarity. But now, her logic greatly irked him. He wondered if being with him was so unbearable for her.Yet, he didn't stop her from leaving. Just as Alanna had said, he wasn't indispensable to her. Women were no

    Alanna hesitated but decided to inform Hades anyway. She sent him a message that said, "Going on a trip with Chelsey. Will be back in three days." Chelsey had booked a night flight. When Alanna arrived at the airport, it was still two hours before takeoff.She had planned to wait for Chelsey to arrive before grabbing something to eat together. However, Chelsey called her unexpectedly and informed her, "Ally, I can't make it. I was almost at the airport when my director called. I have to be on duty during the holiday. I'm sorry, Alanna. I'll celebrate your birthday with you when you return."Alanna blinked, then remembered her birthday was approaching. But her birthdays were never anything special. Every year, Chelsey would send her a message, or they would have a meal together if she weren't too busy. That was all there was to it. "Okay, then I'll go on my own."Junaris was special to Alanna. She indeed wanted to revisit it. The plane landed after 11 p.m. Alanna pushed h

    Melanie's face instantly darkened as she watched Hades leave. Terrence clicked his tongue beside her. Yves chuckled lightly. "What's the matter, Mr. Abbott? Sour grapes again?" Terrence laughed. "Yves, what exactly did that woman offer you to make you defend her like this?"Yves smiled. "No benefits. I just think she should be my sister-in-law."Yves' words made Melanie's face even more unsightly. "Yves, it would be impossible for Hades and Alanna to be together. With her status, how could she be worthy of the Florentine family?"Yves shook his head. "Ms. Smith, Hades' marriage has never been something the Florentine family can decide. Otherwise, the previous engagement banquet wouldn't have been canceled outright, right?"The mention of the incident made Melanie grind her teeth in anger. Yves seemed to enjoy provoking her further."Moreover, someone said when they left that they would never come back unless Hades begged. So why have they returned now?"Melanie was furious as

    Alanna stared at Hades standing before her. "How did you get here?" Hades frowned as he looked at her, then touched her forehead. "You're still feverish. Get changed. We're going to the hospital."Alanna felt a complex mix of emotions and couldn't quite wrap her head around the situation. She avoided his gaze and smiled. "It's okay. I'll just take some more medicine, and I'll be fine." But Hades grasped her wrist firmly. "Alanna, can't you just cooperate for once? Get changed, or do I need to help you with that?"Alanna pulled away from his grasp and suppressed the bitterness she felt. She asked, "How did you get here?"She didn't understand her own reaction. Perhaps the vulnerability of being sick and alone in a foreign place got to her. When she saw Hades appear at her door, she felt an unexpected warmth in her eyes. Despite the tumult in their relationship, she couldn't comprehend why he would still come looking for her.Hades looked at her. After a long pause, he laughed

    Alanna knew he didn't want to elaborate. She didn't ask further and simply closed her eyes. But suddenly, Hades grasped her chin and kissed her. The kiss was gentle and tender, unlike any before. Alanna was taken aback. Before she could react, Hades had already pinned her down. "Hades, I...""Be still. It's just a kiss. But if you move again, it might lead to more," Hades said with a husky voice while pressing his body uncomfortably on hers.Alanna remained still.Hades teased, "Are you that afraid of having sex with me?""I'm not feeling well." She knew better than anyone how demanding he could be in bed. In her current state, she really couldn't handle it. Hades didn't actually intend to go any further. Even he wouldn't force himself on someone who was ill. After kissing her lips several more times, he finally got up and went to the bathroom.Half an hour later, he returned in a refreshed state. He pulled her back into his embrace after warming up in bed.…Early in the

    Alanna rejected the call right away. She freshened up in the bathroom before leaving the apartment.Tara's private nurse, Jane Snyder, was elated to see her once she reached the hospital."Happy New Year, Ms. Jacinto."Alanna returned the greeting smilingly. Then, she passed the fruit basket that she had bought on the way to the hospital to Jane."Happy New Year to you too, Jane. Thank you for working hard last year."Jane was happy to have received such a wonderful gift."It's nothing. I work hard to earn a living, after all."Then, Jane turned to look at Tara, who was still lying in the ward. She couldn't help but sigh dejectedly.Yet another year had passed. This marked Tara's fourth year as a comatose patient.Jane had no idea when Tara would regain consciousness. She knew that Alanna was the one suffering the most.She decided to leave silently with the thermos flask. That way, Alanna would get some private time with Tara.Alana sat by Tara's bed and started massaging h

    Tucker had been itching to get acquainted with the Florentine family for a very long time.This desire of his stemmed from the time he had Melanie impersonate Alanna and get reunited with Hades ten years ago.He never thought that Melanie was so willful to the point that she wanted to make Hades hers, be it physically or emotionally.Not only did Melanie fail in doing so, but she also gave Alanna a chance to become Hades' mistress.Alanna just chuckled in response. "If Hades truly wanted to marry Melanie, do you really think I'd be able to sabotage their relationship?"That question stabbed Tucker right where it hurt the most.He thought Hades would patch up his relationship with Melanie after his return. After all, the fact that Hades had given Melanie one of Brilliance Jewels' endorsement gigs was proof that he cared about her.The Smiths were already prepared to marry Melanie into the Florentines. But they didn't expect to see things heading in a different direction.Hades h

    Alanna thought she'd reach her apartment first. She didn't expect to see Travis waiting outside for her right after getting out of the cab."How did you get here so fast, Travis?"The truth was that Travis was already in the area when he called Alanna earlier."I happen to be dealing with something in this area."After that, he handed Alanna a cup of hot cappuccino. "I remember you liking this beverage."Alanna's eyes lit up instantly. "I never thought you'd remember my preferences after all these years."Travis flashed her a gentle smile. "I was worried that your taste in beverages might have changed."Alanna just giggled without continuing the topic. She asked, "Aren't you going home for the holidays?""I did. I rushed back here without any prior notice."Truth be told, Travis didn't have to attend the conference. The minister's right-hand man was the one attending the conference.Although Travis was considered a rising star in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, his qualifica

    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.
