Alanna immediately froze.Hades' words were indescribably humiliating.She lowered her head and used a tissue to wipe her wet hands.After a long time, she turned to look at Hades. "Perhaps to you, my only worth is my body. But I have my own value in other people's eyes. Hades, don't use your dirty thoughts to judge everybody else."Then, she walked out of the bathroom.Hades' expression darkened as he caught up to her and held Alanna's hand. "What is he if he's not your new benefactor? Would he be willing to spend tens of millions for the breach of contract if he was just your employer? Alanna, do you think I'm stupid?"Alanna pursed her lips. After a long time, she said, "So what if we have a deal? It has nothing to do with you. Or did you think I would never be able to escape your grasp no matter how hard I tried?"Or do you think I deserve to be your toy no matter what happens to me?"Alanna glared at Hades. Her gaze was full of hatred. She could not understand what Hades
Alanna was slightly annoyed. But she could not make a scene as they were still having dinner with Edmund.So, she allowed Hades to give her whatever food he wanted. But she did not touch any food he gave her.Edmund remained silent as he watched their exchange.Alanna thought Edmund would choose another candidate after Hades' interference.After all, it was unwise to offend Hades if they planned to expand their business to Jagersville. She wasn't irreplaceable either.She had already prepared herself mentally. But to her surprise, Edmund began to discuss the terms of their contract after the meal. Alanna was surprised.Hades' gaze darkened before he started to laugh. "Mr. Campbell, you really do love to spoil your son."Edmund smiled and pretended not to hear the hidden pretense behind Hades' words. "Mr. Florentine, please help me look out for him in the future."Hades' gaze darkened and he did not answer Edmund. After the meal, Hades left the room with a solemn expression.
Alanna did not know Hudson well. But even if she didn't, she knew Hudson was currently a much safer option than Hades.Not to mention, she never planned to ask Hudson to send her home. Hudson had also drunk alcohol. He couldn't even drive, let alone send her home.Her original plan was to leave the building and call a cab home. But she was too lazy to explain it to him. Not to mention that with their relationship now, there was no need to explain anything to him.She pursed her lips and looked at Hades. "Mr. Florentine, you just wanted to tell me about his impure intentions. Am I wrong?""You knew about his intentions, yet you still allowed him to send you home?" Hades asked."But what about your intentions? Hades, are you that different compared to others?"Hades' expression darkened as he tightened his grip around Alanna's wrist.He immediately dragged Alanna out once the elevator doors opened. Alanna struggled but failed to break free. They had also attracted the attention of
Hades frowned as he looked at her. He did not nod, nor did he deny her claims.He didn't know why he was so caught up with her either.Alanna continued to speak. "What do you want me to do for you to let me leave? Tell me. I'll do it. I'll do anything you wish as long as you promise to never bother me again!"Hades' expression darkened. He held her wrist so tightly that Alanna thought it was about to snap in two."Is that what you think of me? Yes, I do feel indignant to let you go. "We had a contract, yet you decided to terminate the contract halfway through. Alanna, why do you think you're able to leave? You're just using the fact that I care about you."He was willing to let her go because he cared about her. He was afraid that something might happen to her.All those tricks would be useless if he decided to be cruel. But he just could not do such cruel things to her. And now, Alanna was insulting him like that.Did she even have a conscience?Alanna was quiet for a moment
Hades continued to stare at Alanna. He wanted to get a hint of how she felt from her expression.But it was a shame that only determination and disappointment shone in her eyes. After saying her piece, she leaned back against the seat powerlessly."Can you open the car door?"Hades pursed his lips tightly. He didn't want to let her go like that. He would rather spend more time with her despite the conditions.Hades reached out to forcefully rub his fingers around her red and swollen lips. Alanna frowned and moved her face away from his.Hades paused as she moved away. After a while, he suddenly laughed. "The past three years must have been hard for you, Ms. Jacinto. You had to sleep with me for three years despite feeling nothing for me."Alanna looked down and avoided his gaze. Her voice was indifferent, but she was feeling a lot of pain in her heart. "Mr. Florentine, you taught me well."Hades had told her repeatedly that their relationship would be purely an exchange. He clai
She had bought everything in the house, from small things like the vases and cutlery to the big stuff like furniture and electronics.Back then, she had viewed and decorated the apartment as their house.Now, the situation just seemed ironic.She calmly said, "I don't want it. Feelings can change with time. The things I liked before are no different than garbage to me now."Hades immediately felt a pang in his heart. He could not understand why Alanna was being so difficult.Nothing he said could get through to her.He pursed his lips and looked at Alanna.Alanna knew Hades was angry. She didn't want to stay with him any longer. Who knew when he would suddenly go into another one of his rampages?"Can you open the door now?"Hades was furious. He would not allow her to leave. "You can smash the windows if you want to leave."Alanna glared at the man before her. Why did she never notice how immature Hades was? But she wasn't about to back down.Since he had asked her to smash
Alanna immediately headed into the shower after reaching home. Her mood improved slightly after her bath.Chelsey looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you have such an expression on your face?"Alanna pursed her lips. "A dog came and bit me."Chelsey was stunned before she asked, "Did Hades come and look for you again?"Alanna shook her head. "We met by coincidence. But he wouldn't leave me alone after that."Chelsey's eyes flashed as she asked, "Ally, do you think Hades had fallen for you? Do you think that's why he's unwilling to let you go? "He could have any woman he wanted. There's no need to be so caught up with you if he wasn't in love."Alanna was silent before she laughed. "I think he just has nothing better to do. He ignored me when I was with him. Now, he's feeling indignant because I chose to leave him."Chelsey's lips couldn't help but twitch. After considering Alanna's words carefully, that did seem to be the case.All men were truly trash!…Alanna
She would use other methods to get her revenge on Melanie.Alanna laughed and said, "It's alright, Yves. It's impossible for me and Hades to get back together again."As soon as Alanna finished her sentence, a figure appeared beside her.She frowned and looked up to see Hades in a suit.His gaze was impassive as there was an indiscernible emotion in his eyes."Hades! Why are you here?" Yves' eyes immediately brightened.Alanna turned to look at Yves before lowering her gaze.Yves was a bad actor. Even an idiot could tell that the meal had been a trap."I was passing by on my way home from work. I happened to see Yves here and came in to greet him. You don't mind, do you, Ms. Jacinto?" Hades asked as his gaze fell on Alanna.He had not seen her in a few days and had missed her terribly.She had been avoiding him for the past few days. She stopped attending the company's morning meetings and started to send her assistant in her stead.Back then, she would always personally bri
