Semua Bab She's Moved on With Someone New: Bab 261 - Bab 270

A figure in white could be seen lying on the bed of reed rocks about 100 feet away. Hades wasted no time in swimming in that direction. Once he reached the reef rocks, he slowed down abruptly.To think that he dared not touch the unconscious woman on the rocks…Before Hades left Alanna's side last night, she was still alive and well. But now, she lay on the rocks as though she was lifeless.Hades had always thought of himself as an invincible man. However, he realized that he was actually feeling raw terror.With trembling hands, he grabbed Alanna by the waist before pulling her into his arms tightly. The cellophane tape that was once plastered over her mouth must have come off thanks to its prolonged soak in the seawater. Even the ropes that once bound her wrists had already gone loose.Hades could see wounds and bruises littered across Alanna's wrists and hands. He finally felt the intense chill emanating from her body the moment he hugged her. There wasn't any trace of warmth

Truth be told, Hades knew that his apology meant nothing to Alanna right now. But that was all he could say to her.No one knew that he had been through a few life-and-death situations prior to arriving at the fishing village.His first few near-death experiences detailed the times when he almost got strangled to death by his own mother. After that, he had attempted to commit suicide several times.When Hades eventually arrived at the fishing village, he reignited the tiniest spark of willpower to continue living.The treatment he received afterward washed away most of the memories he had made during his time in the fishing village. Still, the nickname "Mel" was carved into his mind a long time ago.Mel was his salvation.Because of that, Hades could never ditch Melanie. But he never thought that his actions would endanger Alanna instead.Hades gripped Alanna's hand tightly. His gaze was still trained on her pale and delicate face. Tension weighed down his heart. He felt suffoca

Hades was extremely firm when it came to this matter. He glared at Alanna with reddened eyes. "Alanna, I've told you many times in the past, haven't I? As long as I don't agree to the breakup, you can forget about ending things with me! "I'll teach Melvin a lesson on your behalf. Just focus on your recuperation and stop throwing tantrums like this."All Alanna could feel was bitterness that seeped from her heart upon hearing Hades' words. She reclined against the bedpost and looked like a fragile glass doll.However, a stubborn glint was still present in her eyes."Hades, I don't want to be with you anymore. You ditched me when my mom was severely ill, not to mention you still sought Melanie out even though you knew my life was in danger. "Since then, I no longer wanted to be with you anymore. Even if the abduction never happened in the first place, I'd still want to break up with you."Alanna's eyes had gone red as well when she was done speaking her piece.Hades stared at

Melanie's breath hitched in her throat when she heard Alanna's words. She never expected her to say such things without beating around the bush.But her expression soon fell, for she noticed Hades' expression turning frosty as soon as Alanna was done speaking.It was evident that Hades didn't like hearing Alanna saying such things.He didn't want to break up with that bitch at all."Melanie, you should go back first," Hades stated in an icy voice.Melanie's expression fell even more. She ignored Hades' order and chose to stare at Alanna instead."Ms. Jacinto, that's not what I meant. I—""Get the fuck out!"Alanna couldn't be bothered to listen to Melanie's pretentious words. She continued bluntly, "Or do you want me to call security? Ms. Smith, you should be aware that it'll be humiliating for a public figure like you to be thrown out of the ward."Melanie froze immediately. Tears began welling up in her eyes soon enough.She turned to look at Hades. She clearly felt aggriev

Alanna gazed downward in response."Can you leave the ward for the time being, Mr. Florentine? I'd like to have a private word with Mr. Simmons."Hades chuckled coldly in return. "Oh? Can't you two chat while I'm around?"Jeff started shuffling the papers in his hands into a neat stack. "Of course, Mr. Florentine. But I hope you can stay quiet throughout the conversation."Whenever Jeff snapped into his work mode, his gentle demeanor would be replaced by his decisive personality. Even his gaze would turn razor-sharp.Alanna fell silent for a moment."Let's talk outside, Mr. Simmons."Jeff shot Hades a look. "I'm fine with that."Hades' expression became increasingly thunderous. Before Alanna could get out of bed, he finally relented by standing up immediately.Upon reaching the doorway, he added, "Eat your meal first before talking business with him."After that, he left the ward right away, making sure to slam the door behind him.Alanna pursed her lips firmly. As for Jef
