What kind of man did Alanna love? How could she have loved him for ten years?

Ten years—she was only 27 years old now, and she'd already been in love with a man for ten years.

She was probably thinking about that person while she was having sex with him.

The more Hades thought about it, the angrier he got.

"Ten years? Does that mean you've loved him since you were 17?"

Alanna stiffened for a moment before relaxing. "Yeah."

"Then why aren't you with him?"

Alanna was silent for a moment. "He doesn't love me back."

Hades scoff. "I see. What if he tells you that he loves you back?"

Alanna laughed. "That won't happen. He loves someone else."

Hades gave her a look. "Why do you still love him when he loves someone else? You're infatuated with him, aren't you?"

Alanna smiled. "Yeah. Love is blind, sometimes."

Hades' expression was chilly. "Stop the car," he said suddenly.

Startled, Alanna put on the indicator lights and stopped the car by the road. "What happened, Mr. Florentine?"

    When Alanna came out of the bathroom, she saw an intern from the marketing department running toward her. "Ms. Jacinto! Ms. Renee got into a fight!"Alanna frowned. "What happened?"The intern hesitated. "She heard someone talking badly about you and tried to defend you, but things got heated.""Where is she?""She's been called to Mr. Florentine's office."Alanna took a deep breath and headed upstairs.Henry was waiting for her at the door of Hades' office. "Ms. Jacinto."Alanna nodded at him. "What's the situation?""She might be fired."Alanna's heart sank.Renee had been with her for as long as she had worked with Hades.She knew about her family's situation. Her mother wasn't in good health, and she had two younger siblings to take care of.If she got fired for defending her, Alanna wouldn't be able to handle the guilt.Pursing her lips, she asked, "How's his mood today?"Henry shook his head. "Not good."Alanna took a deep breath. "I'll go in and talk to him.""Ok

    Alanna gave Renee an exasperated smile. "There's no need for that. Just don't be so rash in the future."Renee pouted. "They were really out of line, though."Alanna laughed. "It doesn't matter. Words can't hurt me."It still didn't stop Renee from getting upset on Alanna's behalf. "Even so, we can't just let them talk about you like that! That Melanie Smith isn't a good person. She's clearly a conniving bitch. I don't know why Mr. Florentine likes her. Is he blind?""Watch your mouth," Alanna said, exasperated. "If he heard you say that, I won't be able to save you again."Renee shut up obediently. After a while, she exclaimed, "Ms. Jacinto, your lips are bleeding! Did you not drink enough water?"Alanna pursed her lips, feeling the wound where Hades had bitten her. Keeping her expression neutral, she said, "Yeah, I didn't."…Toward the end of the day, Alanna received a call from Chelsey.They met up at a dessert cafe. When Alanna arrived, she had already ordered herself a l

    Alanna always cooked for Hades at home back when he didn't have to go outdoors for business meetings.He was a picky eater and had many opinions when it came to ingredients. So, he seldom ate out when he didn't have a business meeting. Alanna put loads of effort into ensuring he ate well when she used to be with him. A simple "It's not bad" from him made her giddy for ages. She had given him her girlhood, attempts at new things, and hard work. Likewise, she had spent her youth with him. Even her heart raced for him.At the time, she was so in love that she only wanted to cook the food he liked. Now that she thought about it, those days felt like forever ago."What's wrong?" Chelsey asked.Alanna hung up with a grim, weighed-down expression. "I have to return."She lacked money and had no choice but to admit that she needed to get some from Hades. Her mother's medical fees were like an endless vortex, after all.It didn't matter if she wanted to abort the child before. However

    Perhaps pregnant people were just emotional wrecks.Alanna didn't know how long had passed before a pair of leather shoes stopped before her. Even so, she didn't look up because she didn't want Hades to see her in that miserable state. Not a word came from Hades as he stood before her and watched as she fed the strays. He only spoke when the strays left after they finished eating. "Get up."His voice was gravelly and low with a hint of anger.Alanna wondered if it was because Hades had a tough time with Melanie earlier. She had regained her calm by then, so she looked up at him. "You're back."Hades' eyes narrowed at her. "Were you crying?"Alanna chuckled. "No, it was just some sand that got into my eyes."Hades didn't take her too seriously and was probably asking her that offhandedly. Since Alanna insisted that it was just sand, he nodded. "Are you done feeding the strays? If so, let's head home.""I want to stay here a little longer."Hades' eyes briefly flickered toward

    Alanna suppressed the rage burbling inside her. She returned to the studio and apologized a lot before finally returning to the company. She knew Hades had deliberately withheld Melanie's absence from her yesterday. That said, she didn't understand how she had offended him to deserve this.Hades eventually phoned her after she sat in her office for a while.He said, "Make me a cup of tea." "Sorry, Mr. Florentine. I need to come up with a new shooting schedule with the studio.""So?""I'm not free now. You can have someone else make your tea." With that, Alanna hung up. She felt like she had come a long way after that. It was shocking that she dared to hang up on Hades.Still, she refused to see him regardless of whether he was upset. Alanna didn't understand how it was fun to mess with her this way. The thought of what happened only fuelled her rage. Hades always refused to be in a disadvantageous situation.Now that Alanna thought about it, Hades was probably upset becau

    "It's impressive that you're able to slack off, Ms. Jacinto," Hades stated."Apologies. You looked busy earlier," Alanna explained."Indeed. While your boss was drowning in work, you managed to have the time to drink water and enjoy the view. Do you think it's unnecessary to put in work for the salary I'm paying you?""Sorry." Alanna paused before continuing, "Mr. Florentine, may I know when Ms. Smith can start the shoot? I suggest switching her out for someone else if she's unable to recover soon. The new product launches next month. The promotional campaign will get affected if we delay this any longer."Hades finally met her eyes. "That only means you've failed to do your job. As for switching Melanie out, that's impossible. Don't bother considering that route, Ms. Jacinto. We can switch you out for someone else if you feel incapable of completing this task."Alanna's body stiffened. Hades wasn't planning on switching out the person responsible for this project planning. Inst

    All at once, Alanna didn't know how to respond. Her smile tensed, and it took her a moment to speak up. "Please tell this Mr. Florentine on my behalf. Have Ms. Smith confirm her availability with me once she recovers. That way, I can schedule the shoot."She then turned on her heel to leave, not staying any longer after saying that. …Melanie looked around the CEO's office, her eyes scrunching with the utmost distaste. "Your office is too cold! Plus, the black, white, and grey color scheme is hideous!"Hades was currently flipping through a contract. His lips curved once he heard her words. "It's not like you're using this office. Why does it concern you if it's hideous?"That made Melanie bitter at once. "It's your office! How can it not have anything to do with me?"Hades glanced up at her and lightly chuckled. "How are you still as bossy as always?"Flashing a mischievous grin, Melanie leaned close to him and asked, "Why? You don't like it?"Hades didn't respond to her. Ins

    Little did Melanie expect Hades to chuckle and say, "Indeed. You never had a say in this matter, anyway."That pissed Melanie off so much that she snarled through gritted teeth, "Get her up here. I want to discuss the commercial shoot with her!"Hades no longer looked at her. "You may look for her on your own. Be civil when discussing things instead of throwing your temper tantrums."Melanie huffed before leaving the CEO's office.…Alanna headed for the garden outside the company after leaving the top floor. The garden was specially designed as a space for employees to relax. Once there, Alanna sat beside the pond and felt slightly better. Hades had always been demanding when it came to sex. Because of that, Alanna had a hard time coping with it. Despite always screwing her to extreme exhaustion, Hades would still sometimes feel dissatisfied. That said, he was probably also picky about who he dated. That was why he never sought out another woman, even if Alanna failed t

    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.
