Lahat ng Kabanata ng She's Moved on With Someone New: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

"Someone's pregnant on this floor!""How did you know?""I saw the pregnancy test in the toilet!"Alanna Jacinto had just stepped into the office building when she heard these words. She stopped in her tracks and lifted her eyes to look at the two interns who had been talking just now.As soon as the interns saw her looking at them, their expressions immediately dropped as they dipped their heads and resumed their work.Alanna then recollected herself and entered her office.Her phone wouldn't stop ringing with notifications. She tapped on the notification bar and realized that someone had spread the news into their office group chat.If there was one thing this office didn't lack, it was the sheer volume of gossip every day.Alanna stared as more and more people joined in the discussion in the group chat. She could hear her head throbbing.She'd been too careless. She should have wrapped the test in paper towels before throwing it away in the trash.If Hades Florentine learn

There was sexual tension in the air. The D-lister kept on leaning excessively toward Hades.Alanna spared Hades a glance before shifting her gaze elsewhere. Meanwhile, when Hades saw Alanna entering the room, his brows only lifted very slightly. But he didn't move otherwise.On the other hand, it was his younger brother, Yves Florentine, whose eyes lit up as soon as he saw Alanna.He turned around to eye Hades for a bit. Then, he looked at Alanna with a smirk on his face."Ms. Jacinto, here for a drink?""I couldn't say no to Mr. Abbott's invitation."Alanna didn't force her way to the center of the room where everyone else was. Instead, she chose a quieter corner and sat down."Why are you sitting so far away? Come sit closer to us," Yves said, already prepared for some drama.Even if nobody else knew about Hades' relationship with Alanna, Yves did. That D-lister next to Hades never piqued Hades' attention from the start. But as soon as Alanna appeared, the celebrity was as

The D-lister was so shocked that she immediately backed away. "Don't be angry, Mr. Florentine. I'll get out of your hair now."The celebrity left, along with the other women in the room. Only Hades and his friends were left.Yves suddenly regretted letting his joke get out of hand. But it wasn't like he'd never cracked such jokes in the past. It was just that Alanna used to behave like a scared little lamb. She would have never dared to say what she just said, let alone leave them hanging like this.That day, however … "Hades, should we ask Ms. Jacinto to come back and explain that it was just a joke? Ms. Jacinto is a very capable worker. She probably didn't mean to leave. Maybe she's just tired, and that's why she's a little grumpy today."Hades' cold smile returned. He said, "I don't need her to be a manager at my company. Mr. Abbott can have her if he wants to."Terrence just chuckled sheepishly. He suddenly didn't know how to respond to Hades' words.If he still couldn't te

Alanna wanted to hide herself away.However, Hades had already opened the car door and was now walking toward her.Hades' footsteps were quick and hasty. Anyone could tell he was not happy just from the sound of his footsteps."Are you done with your temper tantrum?"Hades asked Alanna as soon as he stopped before her. His face was still stoic and expressionless as he stared down at her."I'm not throwing a temper tantrum," Alanna replied without looking at him.Hades' eyes were dark and dangerous. "So, Ms. Jacinto is really looking forward to leaving me for Terrence Abbott now, is that it? Since when did this start?"Alanna pressed her lips together. "You misunderstood us. I'm the one who wants to leave. This has nothing to do with anyone else.""Give me a reason."Alanna finally lifted her head and looked into her eyes. "I want to get married soon, Mr. Florentine."Hades narrowed his eyes. "Are you serious?""Yes," Alanna replied. "I'm serious. I'm already 27 years old, af

Alanna's lips trembled.Ever since turning 18 years old, Garrett would caress her cheek or pinch her butt from time to time.Alanna's mother had gotten into many fights with him over this, but Garrett never changed his ways. The torture only stopped after she left home for college.However, she couldn't possibly tell Hades about this.She met Hades' eyes and simply said, "No."Hades still had an unpleasant look on his face. "I hope there will never be a next time."He was referring to Garrett causing a ruckus on the company grounds."There won't be a next time. I'll hand in my resignation letter immediately."Hades narrowed his eyes and suddenly chuckled. "Seems like someone's determined to leave.""Yes," Alanna replied bitterly.Hades chuckled again. His laughter was so cold and chilling that it just made her heart crawl. "Alright then. I won't get in the way of your resignation."Alanna responded, "Thank you."Hades glanced at her one more time before walking toward a sea
