It was just a short and sweet sentence, yet it was enough to shatter Alanna's calm façade. Her strong front instantly fell apart.

Alanna got out of bed and walked to the door without bothering to wear slippers. Then, she knelt down and rested her head against Hades' knees before she started weeping softly.

Pain filled Hades' eyes at the sight of Alanna crying. But he opted to not say anything and let her cry her heart out instead.

It wasn't until Alanna's cries became softer that Hades pulled her up to her feet.

"Why didn't you tell me anything?"

Alanna still felt rather awkward. She just gazed at Hades with red-rimmed eyes.

"I thought you were busy."

Hades arched an eyebrow in response. "No matter how busy I am, I'll always make time for you."

Alanna pursed her lips. Sometime later, she asked, "Is that woman the marriage partner that your family has decided for you?"

A chuckle escaped from Hades' lips as he lifted Alanna's chin. "Are you jealous?" he murmured.

    "Who is it?" Alanna shot up to her feet immediately.Yves frowned at her. "It should be Esther. The culprit who abducted Ms. Thornton is one of Esther's high school classmates. They had gotten in contact some time ago."Hades' gaze grew gold."What have Tucker and Esther been up to lately?""Tucker has been keeping to himself recently. He's busy dealing with the problems plaguing his company. In fact, he's busy visiting everyone to collect funds from them."On the other hand, we've brought Esther back to our base. But she kept wailing and saying that she never hired that person. The reason why she got in contact with him was because of their relationship as former classmates."Also, she kept reiterating the fact that she and Tucker had sent Melanie away. Thus, she wouldn't reap any benefits from harming Alanna's mother."Hades' expression grew icy. He then turned to look at Alanna."I'm going to meet Esther."Alanna frowned at him. "Are you sure you're well enough to do that?"

    "This is illegal confinement! Let me out! You have no right to imprison me! I didn't do anything!"Esther dashed toward Hades the moment the door was opened.Hades took a step backward, causing Esther to miss her mark. She sank to her knees and started crying once again."Mr. Florentine, I didn't do it! Someone framed me! Really, I didn't do it! You've already sent Melanie away, so it's useless for me to hurt Alanna's mother! Mr. Florentine, I didn't do it at all!"Hades wore a look of disdain the whole time.Then, he shot a look at Yves, who walked over to pull Esther to her feet. Immediately after that, he produced a thin blade and positioned it near her throat.Esther froze immediately. Her face was awfully pale. Even her lips were trembling slightly."Do you really think we'll believe your excuse, Mrs. Smith?"All color was drained from Esther's lips. "I didn't do it! Mr. Florentine, Melanie has already left the country! There's absolutely no reason for me to do these thing

    Once Hades was done with Esther, he returned to the hospital. When he exited the elevator, he saw Alanna speaking with the doctor outside the ICU ward.Instead of joining Alanna, Hades went to wash his hands first. Only then did he approach Alanna."Have you visited your mom yet? How's she doing?"Alanna's eyes were slightly red. It seemed that Tara's condition was worse than she thought. The doctor was being very tactful when he was talking to Alanna earlier.Tara, who was supposed to recover a little by now, was currently lying on her bed. She looked as white as a sheet.Alanna exhaled slowly in order to conceal her expression."Any updates on Esther?"Hades explained everything to Alanna.Surprised, Alanna asked, "Is she really not the mastermind behind my mom's abduction?"A glint appeared in Hades' eyes. "That might not be the case. I did bring up the video all of a sudden. But if Esther really were the mastermind, then she'd have prepared for that question."I still d

    Alanna and Hades had lived together for a long time in the past. It was only natural for her to know what that was.She was about to move away when Hades surprised her with a kiss.Alanna quickly shoved him away after regaining her senses."Hades, I haven't even brushed my teeth. How can you still kiss me like this?"Hades chuckled in amusement. "That's not a problem to me. I did kiss some of your body parts, after all."Alanna stared at him suspiciously. "And what are the body parts that you mentioned?"But Hades neglected to answer that question. He just stared at Alanna with lust-filled eyes instead.Such topics weren't meant to be conversation starters early in the morning. Hades' morning wood was still present, after all. He couldn't help but recall the night when Alanna had placed her legs on his shoulders.He swallowed dryly as a result. Then, he leaned in to murmur into her ear, "Why don't I trigger your memory?"Alanna's instincts told her that it'd lead to a disast

    It was Melvin.Tucker would never have expected that Melvin was the one who asked to meet him.He could barely recognize Melvin in his current state. Melvin was only in his 20s, yet he looked so scruffy because of his stubble. He was wearing a cap as well. His eyes were filled with so much ferocity and hatred."Why are you here?"If Tucker remembered correctly, Cyrus had already sent Melvin to a faraway place.Melvin just laughed. "Why can't I be here?"Mixed feelings swirled in Tucker's eyes. He knew all about the incident where Melanie and Melvin had worked together to abduct Alanna. If Hades were to capture Melvin now, Tucker was worried that Melanie might get involved again."Aren't you scared that Hades might discover your tracks?"A hint of malice crossed Melvin's eyes the moment he heard Hades' name being uttered."Hades is a nobody right now! My grandfather has already taken back the mantle as the Florentines' patriarch some time ago. Do you really think Hades still

    "What?" Tucker sounded shocked. "That bitch has been the one behind my problems all this time?"He had always thought that Hades was the one causing trouble for him. To think that it was Alanna all this time…Since when did that bastard daughter of his become this powerful?Tucker quickly regained his senses. "Why are you telling me all these things?""Let's work together, Tucker. I'll help you with your financial crisis. In return, I want you to screw up Alanna's project that takes place in the northern suburbs. "If you want to save your wife, you should tell your daughter to do better. She might be useless now, but she's still Hades' first love."…Alanna received a phone call from Hades before she got off work."I heard that your meeting is over."Alanna turned to glance at Renee, who adopted an innocent look. "What's the matter, Ms. Jacinto?"Alanna didn't respond to her.Hades just chuckled softly. "What do you want to have for dinner? Do you want me to pick you up?"

    Renee was extremely friendly to Hades. When she was still working in Brilliance Jewels, she was fearful of Hades. Now, she didn't fear him that much."Are you waiting for someone here, Mr. Florentine?"Hades just chuckled coldly while looking at Alanna. "Yeah."Renee replied, "Okay. Ms. Jacinto and I will take our leave now."But Hades suddenly stopped her. "Wait."Alanna flashed him a warning look, causing him to chuckle in amusement."Ms. Jacinto, are you planning to accept the government's deal on the development of the northern suburbs? Perhaps we can strike up a collaborative deal."His suggestion took Renee by surprise. "Wow! I suppose word travels fast these days, Mr. Florentine. We just had a meeting today about it. In fact, we're about to start looking for a business partner."Hades just gazed at Alanna unblinkingly. The latter just glanced at him wordlessly."We can… touch on that subject."After that, Alanna turned to look at Renee. "You can leave now, Renee."R

    "Do you want to come here often, then?""Hades!" Someone called out to Hades as soon as he asked his question.Both Hades and Alanna turned around to see Veronica standing a short distance away. Holly stood next to her.Hades' gaze darkened slightly. Before he could respond to Veronica, the latter quickly led Holly to the gazebo."What a coincidence, Hades!"Hades maintained a cold expression. "You may leave after greeting me."Veronica huffed in response. "What's with that attitude, Hades? Do you have any idea how concerned Holly is about your condition? She even came all the way here to learn how to whip up herb-based dishes!"After that, she took a seat in the gazebo before forcing Holly to sit down as well. Then, she turned to look at Alanna."Hello, Ms. Jacinto. We met again. Let me introduce myself. I'm Hades' younger sister, Veronica Florentine. This, here, is Holly Maxwell. She's…"Veronica pointed at Holly as she spoke.Holly spoke up before Veronica could continue s

    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.
