When Melanie posted that photo, the internet was already in chaos. But the picture was actually taken well before. It was snapped right at the beginning of the event. She simply chose the right moment to release it. She intended to provoke Alanna into confronting Hades. Given his temperament, she wondered how Hades could tolerate a woman causing trouble repeatedly. She knew he would grow tired after a few incidents."So, Hades doesn't care about you at all, Alanna. Don't you find that pitiful?"Alanna clenched her fists tightly as she felt a suffocating pain in her heart. She didn't fully believe Melanie's words. But she knew better. Regardless of when the photo was taken, Melanie couldn't have posted such a Tweet without Hades' tacit approval under those circumstances.Moreover, if he cared, she felt he could have made her delete the Tweet even if it had been posted. But he didn't. The Tweet was still online, and that signified that no one else could intervene even if they hadn't

Alanna only realized what Hades was about to do when his kiss landed. "Hades!" she exclaimed. They were at the restaurant's parking lot entrance, where people were constantly coming and going. However, Hades seemed not to care at all. He left her no chance to resist.His kiss was fierce. It was almost as if he was fueled by anger. Alanna knew she had probably upset him tonight. But she really didn't want to engage in such public displays. She struggled reluctantly."Try struggling again, Ms. Jacinto!" Hades' voice was tinged with anger. Alanna stiffened. "Not here," she pleaded softly.Hades hadn't intended to go too far. Once he confirmed that Hudson had seen them and left, he immediately carried Alanna into the car. Only inside the car did Alanna breathe a sigh of relief.Hades loosened his tie and started the car. Back at the hotel, he pressed her against the door in a burst of passion. The kiss landed once more, which left Alanna feeling almost suffocated. But she didn'

Hades kept Alanna awake late into the night until the early morning. He only let her rest when she was completely worn out. "You may sleep now," he said. Alanna closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.Hades checked the time. It was already past ten in the morning. He took his phone and left the bedroom. Then, he called Jeff. "I won't make it today. I'll visit another day," he said.Jeff felt disappointed upon hearing that Hades wouldn't come. He had hoped to see Alanna again. "And... What about Ms. Jacinto?"Hades' brow twitched. He laughed lightly. "You seem quite interested in our Ms. Jacinto," he teased.Jeff chuckled and felt somewhat speechless. "Are you sure you're not the one interested?" Hades lit a cigarette and didn't respond. "Interested" wasn't a word he'd associate with his relationship with Alanna. He admitted to an obsessive possessiveness over her. But he considered such possessiveness normal for any man. "Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up.""Wa

The question was somewhat unexpected. After all, they had only met for the third time today. Thus, Alanna was momentarily taken aback. Nonetheless, she politely inquired, "May I ask what aspects of my mother you're interested in, Mr. Simmons?"Jeff responded, "Your mother's age, her profession, and, if it's not too much trouble, her maiden name?"Mentioning her mother brought a hint of sourness to Alanna's heart. Her mother had always been an exceptional woman—beautiful, gentle, and talented in dance and art. Unfortunately, life had not been kind to her. A series of unfortunate events had led her to her current state. She never got the chance to showcase her talents, especially because of one man.Alanna swallowed the lump in her throat and composed herself before responding. "My mother's surname is Thortorn. She's been out of work due to a car accident three years ago." She refrained from elaborating further. As for her mother's age, Alanna was unsure about that. Her mother had

Alanna paused as she was surprised by Hades' sudden question. She took a moment before asking, "Why do you ask all of a sudden?" Hades' eyes narrowed slightly. "Can't I ask?" he retorted. "It's not that. I just prefer not to bring it up," she explained.Hades' gaze grew even colder. "It seems you have been deeply hurt," he observed. His grip on her waist tightened almost painfully. "You still can't forget him, can you?" "It just feels uncomfortable to remember, that's all," Alanna admitted.Hades' expression turned colder. "It seems you're quite devoted." Alanna chose not to respond to that comment. Hades continued after a pause, "What kind of person is he to linger in your thoughts like this?" "A good person. He was kind to me," she said softly.Hades scoffed. "He's kind to you, but why is he not with you anymore? Are you sure he's not just a player who toyed with your feelings?" Alanna looked down. "He forgot about me." Hades raised an eyebrow. "Forgot? How? Was he
