After sending the message, Alanna went to bed. When she woke up the next day, she realized there was nothing on her phone. Hades hadn't replied. Alanna let out a slight sigh of relief. Yet, she still felt a tinge of melancholy. She knew she needed time to adjust to her new environment. But one day, she knew she would be fully adapted.Upon arriving at the office, Alanna heard her colleagues whispering. "Mr. Florentine has a girlfriend." "I heard it's not Melanie." "Did you see the scratches on Mr. Florentine's neck and behind his ears? Wow, that looks thrilling." "Ah, I'm suddenly so envious of that woman. Having Mr. Florentine as a boyfriend must be amazing."Alanna only listened for a bit before tuning them out. However, Renee kept whispering endlessly to her. "Ms. Jacinto, have you heard? Mr. Florentine has a girlfriend. Apparently, it's not Melanie."Alanna laughed. "Renee, don't believe or spread rumors. If Mr. Florentine had a girlfriend, it could only be Melanie."Re

"Ms. Jacinto, did I do something wrong? Don't be so cold to me. Just tell me what it is, and I'll change, okay?" James said.Alanna's head began to throb with pain.Renee gave her a flirtatious wink from the side. "Why don't you just let him stay? You're alone anyway."Alanna's brows furrowed instantly, and she stood up to leave. James followed her out. "Don't go. You'll upset me."But Alanna didn't stop. She pushed through the private room door, only to lock eyes with a familiar pair the moment she looked up. The man stood at the other end of the hallway while exuding an air of languor. He was dressed in a black shirt with the hem neatly tucked into his waistline. His tall presence was imposing even from a distance. Despite looking somewhat displeased, his natural aristocracy couldn't be overshadowed. A young woman stood beside him. She was barely in her twenties. She was cute and charming, and she was clinging to his side.Alanna hadn't expected Hades to be here. She remembe

Terrence watched their retreating figures. He felt as if he was suffocating. He stepped forward and kicked James again to find some relief. Lately, he hadn't been troubling Alanna. Yet, her image grew obsessively in his mind. Terrence felt tormented and increasingly resentful.He had heard about the conflicts between Alanna and Hades. He thought he would have a chance with her if she left Hades. But to his frustration, she presumably preferred a gigolo over him. Annoyed, Terrence kicked James again. "Wretch!"Hades pulled Alanna out and headed straight to the parking lot. After putting her in the car, he scoffed. "Ms. Jacinto, you always manage to surprise me." Alanna stayed silent. She felt no guilt about the evening's events but knew Hades wouldn't see it her way."What brought you to the Vortex Vibes?" he asked."End-of-year department gathering," she replied softly. Hades laughed coldly. "Is this how your department usually gathers? In a nightclub?"Alanna's lips twitched,

Alanna did not want to be caught between Hades and Melanie anymore. Holding Tara's hand, she couldn't help but feel the tears well up in her eyes. "Mom, please wake up soon, okay? I'm... tired." After saying this, her tears started to fall. She wiped her tears away and forced a smile. "But it's okay. There's been someone helping me these past three years. His name is Hades. Do you remember him? He's the crybaby from our time in the fishing village when we were kids."But he's an impressive and powerful man now. Maybe you'll get to meet him once you're better. It's just... He probably doesn't remember us anymore." She laughed lightly and squeezed Tara's hand. "Anyway, no matter what, you have to wake up. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. Just don't leave me here alone..."…After leaving Tara's hospital room, Alanna collected the bill from the doctor and went to the payment counter. She paid with everything she had in her bank account. After taking care of everything, sh

Alanna's body was slightly stiff. The soreness from last night's ordeal had not yet subsided. Fortunately, Hades did not torment her further. He just kissed her a couple of times before letting her go.Before the end of the workday, Henry had completed the paperwork. Alanna looked at the property title placed before her and was unsure how to feel. She took a deep breath, picked up the title, and went to the real estate agency.The agent who had helped her rent her apartment a few days ago greeted her. The agent was somewhat surprised to see her property title. "Ms. Jacinto, you have such a large villa. Why are you renting an apartment? Isn't the villa comfortable?"Alanna didn't explain much. She only asked him to find a buyer quickly. The agent remarked, "Ms. Jacinto, your villa is well-located and well-equipped. It's top-notch in the market, and your asking price is reasonable. Don't worry, the moment we list it, buyers will come in minutes."Alanna nodded. She thanked him and
