Alanna couldn't put a finger on what she was feeling when she heard Hades' question.He claimed that she was the only woman he wanted, yet he couldn't let Melanie go.She looked down at her lap. "Hades, do you know what the words 'I only want you' mean?"Of course, Hades knew the meaning very well. If he only wanted Alanna, that meant she was the only woman in his life.It was true that Alanna was the only woman he wanted to be with his whole life.That was a fact that would never be changed.As for Melanie, Hades never planned nor thought of dating her, much less wanted to keep her by his side. What little affection he had for her was simply a by-product of the bond they had formed during their childhood times.After all, he wouldn't have lived to this day without her help in the past."Alanna, I've never developed a romantic interest in Melanie."His statement surprised Alanna. To think that Hades was never romantically interested in Melanie…"Weren't you two a couple in th

However, Hades didn't tell Alanna that. Otherwise, she might think he was trying to cover up for Melanie again.Alanna asked, "Did someone sabotage the CCTV footage?"Hades hummed in acknowledgment. "Don't worry, I'll get someone to restore it. Even if it's beyond salvation, we can check those in the bank, too."There are also many CCTVs along the route from the hospital to the bank. I'm sure they couldn't have sabotaged all of them."Alanna nodded. Though she was reluctant to admit it, Hades' words comforted her. "Thanks," she said.Hades chuckled. Suddenly, he grabbed her waist and pulled her toward him, positioning them both in a suggestive stance. Alanna could feel his breath against her skin."What will you do to thank me?" he asked in a low voice.Tensing up, Alanna stomped on his foot. "By doing this."Hades groaned in pain and let her go. "I'm helping you, yet you're kicking me aside so soon, Alanna?""You were the one who promised to help," retorted Alanna as she walk

Alanna was at a loss for words. Renee and her big mouth!Immediately, she walked around Hades' car. "I can't afford to hire you as a driver, Mr. Florentine."Hades quickly got out of the car and grabbed her. "I'll do it for free."Alanna glared at him. "Do you have too much time on your hands, Hades?"Hades hummed in agreement. He'd have the time for this as long as he tried hard enough. At worst, he'd lose a few hours of sleep.Alanna shot him another glare. She knew how busy things were at Brilliance Group. "I really don't need you to be my driver. Besides, it's inappropriate."Hades was the head of the Florentine family. She didn't want others to talk behind her back just because she got him to be her driver.Hades was prepared to be rejected. "I'll be your driver for the night. Then I'll arrange for someone else to do it, okay? Don't hire someone you're unfamiliar with. You won't know whether or not you can trust them."Alanna pressed her lips together. "I'll look into thei

Alanna paused. Then, she answered, "I can't, Hades. I just can't bring myself to tell my mom about us."Hades stared at her silently for several moments. "So you decided to cancel me from your life?"Alanna replied, "It's safer not to mention you. Drive safely on your way back."After saying that, she returned to the ward with her phone. However, Hades unexpectedly came in after her.She turned and shot him a glare. Whispering, she asked, "What are you doing, Hades Florentine?"Hades ignored her and went straight to Tara's bed. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Thornton. I'm Alanna's… friend."Standing beside them, Jane exclaimed, "Ms. Thornton, I guess you haven't heard. This is Mr. Florentine, Ally's admirer. He's very enthusiastic in his efforts to court Ally."Tara turned to look at Alanna, who lowered her gaze. Alanna said, "Mom, I'm not interested in him."Hades chuckled. "You're not interested in me now, but that may change in the future. Do you agree, Ms. Thornton?"Tara stared b

Hades was in his office. He was listening to the newly hired marketing manager present their proposal for the upcoming summer.Halfway through, he raised a hand to signal the manager to stop. After checking his phone, Hades smiled."Shall we have dinner together? You can help me change the dressing then."Alanna read Hades' message in silence. Indeed, she couldn't reject him now. After taking a deep breath, she replied: "Okay."Hades' lips curled into a smile, and the marketing manager watched him, terrified.Had anyone seen Hades smile like that? To think that that iceberg of a man could actually do that!Hades put his phone away and looked up at the marketing manager. "Redo your proposal. Have you studied the market trends for this summer? Have you conducted market research?"If you don't know how to go about it, you should refer to those the previous manager has done."The marketing manager snapped back to his senses. He fearfully agreed and left the office with the proposal
