Alanna's complexion paled after hearing the receptionist's words. She turned around and began heading out."I'll go and take a look at some other hotels."Hades narrowed his eyes and held her hand."Let go of me!"Something dangerous flashed across Hades' eyes as he said, "Are you that unwilling to share a room with me?"Alanna's expression turned foul. "Hades, do you think it's suitable for us to share a room considering our relationship now?"Hades scoffed. "I don't mind.""But I do!"Alanna broke free from his grasp and headed out. However, Hades grabbed onto her again and pulled her into the elevator.Alanna pursed her lips tightly and did not struggle as other people were present in the elevator.Every nerve inside of her was refusing to continue being with Hades.However, Hades was just unwilling to let her go.The second they got out of the elevator, Hades dragged her into their hotel room. They went in, and Hades immediately pressed her up against the door.His sce
Yves was speechless by Hades' questions. He also knew that there was no point in accusing Melanie without any concrete evidence."But shouldn't you at least question her about it?""What am I supposed to ask her? Am I supposed to ask if she helped plan that kidnapping? Or should I ask if she purposefully ruined her face to lure me away?"Yves did not know how to answer Hades. Even if Hades were to ask Melanie such questions, he probably wouldn't be able to receive a satisfactory answer."Continue to investigate Melvin. Just pretend you don't know about that for now," Hades said before ending the call.…After Alanna left Hades' hotel room, she left the hotel entirely. She called a cab and went to the nearest hotel.However, all the hotels were fully booked. Perhaps it was just as the receptionist had said; all the hotels were full due to the international fair. All the hotels she went to had told her the same thing.She stood by the roadside with a sullen expression. Her phon
At the end of the day, he had been careless. His original plan was to take Alanna away from Jagersville. That way, she would not have the opportunity to reach out to Hudson.But he never thought that there was still Travis to be wary of.Hades' expression darkened as he parked and got out of the car.He had not walked toward them when their laughter reached him first. His expression darkened further.Hades stood before them with a gloomy expression. Alanna's smile immediately tensed when she saw Hades. "Travis, let's go."Travis did not say anything when he saw Hades. Instead, he turned to Alanna and nodded."Where are you going?" Hades asked with a frown.Alanna remained silent as she walked up and opened Travis' car door.Hades walked over and closed Travis' car door with a gloomy expression. "Alanna, can't you hear me talking to you? I'm asking you where you're going!"Alanna's expression turned solemn. "Hades, don't you think you should mind your own business? You're onl
But now, Hades had insulted him because of her.Travis smiled and said, "There's nothing to be sorry for. In truth, he didn't say anything wrong. I do want you for myself."Alanna pursed her lips and chuckled bitterly. She was unworthy of Travis. She was unworthy in all aspects.Travis could tell that Alanna had not moved on from her past relationship. He wasn't in a hurry. Travis had already waited for three years. He did not mind waiting for a few more.He asked gently, "Have you had dinner?"Alanna shook her head. It was already ten by the time they finished the meeting with their business partners, the Granite Group. She had planned to return to the hotel and order some room service. She never thought things would end up this way."Why don't I take you to eat some good food? Do you have anything in mind?"Alanna smiled. "Anything is fine. Or I can just make some instant noodles later."Travis glanced at her. "Is that what you normally do?"Alanna answered, "Sometimes."
Alanna was unprepared for the slap, and her cheek turned red. She cradled her cheek and looked at Yvette, who stood beside a hotel attendant."You bitch! Was seducing Hades not enough for you? You had to try and seduce Hudson too. Are you that desperate?" Yvette said as she raised her hand again.But before she could slap Alanna, Alanna raised her hand and slapped Yvette instead.The loud slap echoed throughout the corridors. Alanna had not held back one bit.The hotel attendant was shocked by the turn of events. She stood there and looked at Alanna in shock. "Miss, do you need us to call the police?"Alanna pursed her lips tightly and glanced at Yvette's cheek. Then, she turned to the attendant and said, "I'll have to trouble you with that. Could you also call security while you're at it? Thank you."The attendant quickly nodded.Yvette was still in a state of shock after being slapped by Alanna. She had not expected Alanna to hit her back.She immediately screamed, "Alanna, t
The door shut. The people outside could no longer peer in.Yvette stood there for a few seconds. She was stunned. Then, she started cursing. "That bitch! She refuses to admit to seducing Hudson. I'm not done with you yet!"…Inside the room, Hades was looking at Alanna solemnly.Alanna was in shock and slightly terrified of the whole situation. She stood rooted to the spot as her fingers trembled. After a long time, she said, "Thank you."Hades glanced at her and pulled her into the bathroom.There was some blood on Alanna's hands and cheeks.Hades pulled her into the bathroom and wiped away the blood on her. Then, he asked, "Do you have any other injuries?"Alanna shook her head. "No."Hades' expression darkened, and his gaze remained cold. He pinched Alanna's jaw and forced her to raise her head."Alanna, can you see it now? Did you think that Hudson is as innocent as he seems? Although he showed you care and kindness, he still brought trouble to your doorstep. Don't think
Hades frowned after listening to Alanna's words."You know our relationship is between us. It has nothing to do with Melanie. Why do you insist on dragging Melanie into this?"Alanna met Hades' gaze before chuckling coldly. No one knew how much she wanted to be free from Melanie. The whole situation made it seem like she was the one being unreasonable. It sounded like she was unable to let go and move on.However, Melanie would not let her go. Even if Alanna allowed bygones to be bygones and move on, Melanie would not do such a thing.As long as Hades did not draw a clear line with Melanie, Melanie's tricks would only become crueler with each act.Alanna chuckled and said, "Does it really have nothing to do with her? Hades, who are you fooling here? What's the point in fooling yourself? "Or did you think you could hide your playboy tendencies by acting like this?"Alanna's words were harsh as she looked at Hades coldly. Hades felt his heart sink as he saw the coldness in Al
Hades immediately narrowed his eyes. "What did you say?""I asked you to get the fuck out! Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Alanna did not want to talk to him anymore.There was no reason for them to talk. Melanie was not the only problem in their relationship.Hades protecting Melanie was just the most obvious problem. The biggest problem in their relationship was that Hades did not love her.Since the beginning of their relationship, she had never had a place in his heart. So, he had never hesitated to abandon her when he faced a problem and had to decide between her and something else.Her previous question had been her way of testing the waters. She had to consider the chances that Hades would protect Melanie if she decided to fight against Melanie.After all, it would be a big problem for her and Jeff if Hades insisted on protecting Melanie.Hades was furious. Did Alanna just ask him to fuck off? How dare she say that to him?"Alanna, is this how you treat someone wh
