Hades was behind his swivel chair when I entered. He was standing, holding a phone to his ear, talking to someone. His other hand was in his slacks pocket. I couldn't hear what he was saying.

He was looking out, facing the glass wall, where other tall buildings and the hot weather were visible.

I bit my lower lip as I stared at him. His black long-sleeved shirt hugged his body tightly. His broad shoulders looked more defined without his coat, which was draped over his swivel chair.

I swallowed hard. My heart beat fast, and I felt my face heat up. Gosh, how can such a perfect man even exist?!

When I closed the door and fully entered, he turned to me. He looked serious and dangerous. When he saw me, his eyes softened.

I walked toward his desk. Before I got close, he put down the phone.

I wanted to ask who he was talking to, but I stopped myself. It wasn't necessary, and I really don't care. Duh!

"It was Althea, my sister," he said.

Sister? I bitterly swallowed the lump in my throat. I d

    The drive to the mall took 15 minutes. Hades got out of the car first, while I struggled with my seatbelt. Gosh, why is this so hard?!Hades opened the door, leaned in halfway, and bent slightly to help me unbuckle my seatbelt. I was about to complain, but seeing his serious face this close made me blush and shut up.God, why is he so handsome?!I felt my breathing become heavier and my heart beat faster, as if I had just run and was feeling this way.I'm sure my face was already flushed because I could feel the heat on my cheeks.He was so close...I was surprised when he looked up. He caught me staring at him!I immediately looked away. Ghad, Diandra!"Are you okay?" he asked. He had already unbuckled my seatbelt. I frowned and faced him."Of course! Why wouldn't I be okay?" I said irritably and rolled my eyes. He looked at me with a hint of confusion on his face, then he sighed. He stood up straight and took my hand to help me out.I looked down at his hand holding my arm. Instead

    I sighed coldly before marching toward him."Hades, we need to talk!" I said in a warning tone.He looked at me in surprise, as if I had caught him doing something wrong. Wearing a white v-neck t-shirt and black shorts, he looked handsome, but this wasn't the time to compliment him! Humph!When I got close to him, I stopped in front of him.I raised an eyebrow.He looked away, shifting his gaze to the glass of tequila in his left hand.He took a deep breath and then put down the glass of alcohol, his eyes softening as he faced me."Wife... why are you here? You should be resting in our room," he said seriously, looking at me with gentleness in his eyes. He didn't seem drunk.I stared at him coldly."Why did you fire Manong?" I asked firmly, not answering his question.I could see his jaw clench. He looked away and picked up the glass of tequila again."Forget about him," he said coldly.Forget about him?I could feel my blood boiling.Just why are you so heartless, Hades?The sides of

    I woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar design and appearance of the room. I quickly realized I was in the mansion, in our bedroom. I immediately recalled what happened.I fainted!Oh my goodness, my child!Tears welled up in my eyes as I caressed my stomach. I've been so reckless. I didn't even think about the effect this would have on my child. I'm sorry, baby. Mommy won't do it again...But even though I think I fell, I don't feel any pain in my body. Hades saw me fall; he must also be worried about our child. He must have brought me back here...Of course, Diandra. Who else would it be?My clothes had been changed. I'm wearing my spaghetti-strap dress that I always wear at home.Holding my head, I sat up. I immediately felt dizzy, so I leaned against the headboard of our bed. I closed my eyes, hoping the dizziness would lessen, but within seconds, I flinched at the sudden opening of the door.My eyes immediately went to see who walked in. Alyena appeared, holding a tr

    I pulled my hand away from his. His hand gently moved down to my waist, as if pleading me to stop. His usually expressionless face and cold demeanor were gone.They were replaced by weariness, fear, and pain. I saw it clearly in his eyes. I don't understand. Is he pretending again? Ha!I rolled my eyes, trying to hold back my tears, but the opposite happened. My tears fell.He raised a hand and wiped away the tears on my cheek with his thumb. I didn't move at first, but I quickly pushed him away.He stepped back slightly."Let's end this contract, Hades," I said firmly.He clenched his jaw. Then he looked away. Wearily, he shook his head."I can't do that..." he said softly.I looked at him angrily. That's ridiculous! He's rich; I'm sure he can! He just doesn't want to!"That's impossible! You can, you just don't want to!" I yelled and pushed him again, but he didn't budge."You signed the contract. I can't do anything about that," he said firmly.I stopped at the sudden change in his

    "Sir, here's the food you ordered! There's so much of it! — Y-your wife is here...""You can leave now."I gradually woke up because of the noise around me. Hearing the woman's sharp voice and Hades' cold tone, I quickly opened my eyes. Hades was standing beside his desk, looking at the food, while his secretary stared at me, surprised and seemingly disappointed.I was lying on the long, round sofa in Hades' office; he uses it for seating and receiving visitors.Gosh, I fell asleep from crying!I fell asleep on Hades!I got up and sat. Hades' coat was on my stomach. Thankfully, even though I just lay on the sofa, my back and body didn't ache.I watched Hades open the food containers. Good thing he was seriously checking them. Since he was facing away from me, he didn't notice I was awake.My gaze shifted to his secretary. She was wearing a red blouse with the top two buttons undone, revealing her cleavage. She was wearing a mini black skirt.I raised an eyebrow.Hesitantly, she smiled

    I didn't answer his question. I kept my eyes closed and let him speak. After a while, I fell asleep in pretending. I woke up at noon the next day, Hades was gone. I decided to go downstairs, but as I stood up, my vision suddenly spun. Shit! I sat back down on the bed, holding my head. I waited a while for the dizziness to pass, but it was replaced by a churning stomach. Feeling nauseous, I ran to the bathroom. My eyes watered from the excessive vomiting. Even when I had nothing left to throw up, I still felt nauseous. I hate this! I've been like this for several days, and it seems to be getting worse! When I finally stopped, I cried. I hate you, Hades! I hate you so much! I leaned against the wall while wiping my tears when my stomach churned again. I faced the toilet again. Ugh! This is awful! Tears rolled down my cheeks. I hate this. I hate this! My tears kept falling even after I stopped vomiting. I slowly stood up and faced the mirror. Sweat was dripping from my forehead. W

    Diandra:Hi, Kira! Is Hades still there? What is he doing?I pouted after sending the message. Humph, maybe she'll think I'm a possessive wife. Well, it's not like I'm not. We're going to separate anyway.I rolled my eyes. I remembered their reactions when they found out Hades and I were married. I didn't want to tell them and just keep it a secret until the contract was over because it wasn't real; we were only married on paper.But the next day, Hades called a meeting and introduced me as his wife. I didn't know what to do then, especially how to face the people working in his company, but he assured me it would be fine.I asked him then that I didn't want our relationship to be publicized, and he agreed. None of his workers dared to publicly announce or post that I was his wife.Shane and Kira were speechless when they found out. Shane didn't talk to me for a week because of that. She was sulking because we promised to be each other's bridesmaids at our weddings. I just said it was

    My lips trembled as I ran back to my car. Tears streamed down my face, then poured down relentlessly. My heart ached terribly. Was everything I did wrong?Reaching the garage, I immediately got in the car and sped off. My tears flowed without stopping; the pain in my chest was so intense it felt physical.The suffering they inflicted mirrored the pain I was going through. The tears welling up in my eyes weren't just from their cruelty; it was anger. I was furious because I still tried to understand them, even though I knew they didn't care.No matter what I did, they wouldn't understand because they didn't care.My feelings didn't matter, so why should I even bother trying to make them listen?They wanted my help, and I was giving it! I wanted to help them, but that's all I could do!Divorcing Hades? That's too much.They were asking for more than I could give. The fact that when I needed them most, they were nowhere to be found, hurt me deeply.My phone beeped. I quickly searched for
