Semua Bab She's Moved on With Someone New: Bab 111 - Bab 120

"Mr. Florentine, I'd like to discuss the termination agreement with you," Alanna started. A cold laugh came from Hades' end. "Ms. Jacinto, haven't you seen the agreement?" Alanna's lips were tight. "I have.""Then, is there something you don't understand?" Hades inquired. Alanna took a deep breath. "I just want to resign normally. If you think it necessary, I can wait until you find a suitable replacement before proceeding with the resignation."Hades' voice was cold. He showed his displeasure even through the phone. "Ms. Jacinto, my company isn't a charity. You signed the labor contract, so you should abide by it."Alanna clenched her fists. "Mr. Florentine, you agreed to my resignation at the club then." Hades instantly recalled the incident at the club when Alanna accepted Terrence's offer. His face darkened immediately. The entire boardroom fell into a tense silence. Every executive present dared not even breathe too loudly.Hades slammed his pen onto the table which st

Alanna was somewhat puzzled. She wondered what had gotten into Hades this time.Yet, she instinctively felt he was angry. She didn't approach him but stood by the bed instead. "If there's something you want to say, just say it from there."Hades' eyes narrowed suddenly. He reached out to grab Alanna's wrist. He pulled her toward him with force. Alanna, who was already weak, fell hard against him. Hades wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, spun around with her in tow, and pinned her against the window sill. "Who did you meet?" His voice was cold enough to form icicles.The window sill dug painfully into Alanna's back. She instinctively struggled to free herself. Hades noticed her struggle and looked even more displeased. He tightened his grip and made Alanna feel as if her back was pressed against a blunt knife. "I said, which man did you meet!""Hades! It hurts!" Alanna exclaimed. Hades let out a cold laugh. "Sorry for causing you pain." Despite his words, he showed

Alanna felt a piercing pain from Hades' words. She was surprised by how she was tainted just because Shane had steadied her once. She looked at Hades. "Then by that logic, Mr. Florentine, the places Melanie has hugged and held you must be cleaned even more."Hades stood aside and merely let out a light laugh. "Do you not understand who the real benefactor in our relationship is? If you could be my benefactor, I might consider not touching another woman."Suddenly, Alanna lost the will to argue further. She understood that she didn't have the right to demand anything from Hades. She had forgotten the inherent inequality in their relationship. "You can leave now. I'm going to take a shower."Hades looked at her. His gaze lingered on her pale face. "Are you sure you can manage on your own?" "I can." Hades nonchalantly nodded and turned to leave the bathroom.The moment the door closed, tears streamed down Alanna's face. She bit her lip to silence her sobs. After crying for a while

Hades' brow quirked slightly. "What? You don't trust me?"Alanna nodded.Hades actually took a moment to consider it seriously. "If we're talking about trust, I only trust myself. Is that answer satisfactory to you, Ms. Jacinto?"Alanna wasn't sure what to say. She wondered if he didn't trust Melanie either.Her fingers clenched involuntarily. "What about Melanie?"Hades' gaze darkened slightly. But Alanna kept looking at him. Before he could speak, someone knocked on the door.The executive secretary stood outside and handed Hades a bag. Hades took it and approached the bed. "Come here. Let's dry your hair."Alanna moved and sat on the couch. She let Hades dry her hair. After he was done, he finally spoke. "Melanie is special to me. If you don't want to demean yourself, Ms. Jacinto, don't compare yourself to Melanie."Alanna was silent for a moment. "Alright, I understand."Hades' phone rang. It was Melanie's exclusive ringtone. Alanna suddenly felt incredibly tired. "Mr. Flo

After Alanna finished speaking, Hades' eyes narrowed slightly. He leaned back on the couch in a relaxed posture. He set his gaze on Alanna with an inscrutable expression. "Did you agree?"Alanna didn't want to agree but felt that Garrett couldn't have let her off that easily. "I only mentioned that I've been feeling unwell lately and would discuss it once I've recovered."Then, she looked at Hades. "Would you help me?"Hades chuckled coldly. "Ms. Jacinto, how do you want me to assist you?"Alanna laughed softly, "Garrett seems quite afraid of you. Just a word from you, and he probably won't threaten me anymore."Hades' gaze turned darker, which made it difficult to read his emotions. After a while, he finally spoke. "You seem quite adept at commanding others."Alanna's lips twitched slightly. She couldn't deny it. Indeed, she hoped to use Hades to prevent Garrett from bothering her further. She looked at Hades and asked, "Is that possible?"With a light laugh, Hades gestured for
