"You've been waiting here for two hours?" Jeff remarked.Glancing at Jeff, Hades questioned, "You sure you want to help her?"Jeff raised a brow and asked, "Why shouldn't I?""Don't say I didn't warn you—she can't afford to pay you," Hades retorted with a sneer.A majority of the cases Jeff took on involved significant economic disputes or high-profile divorces among the wealthy elites.His fee for a single case was at least nine figures.Chuckling, Jeff declared, "I take on pro bono cases too sometimes."Hades' expression soured. "Are you sure you don't have any feelings for her, Jeff? Why do I find that hard to believe?"Jeff's expression wasn't all that pleasant either."Hades, do you realize you're acting like a cornered beast that's frantically lashing out? If you don't want her to leave you, you should focus on figuring out why she's adamant about doing so instead of taking your anger out on others!" Jeff rebuked.Hades narrowed his eyes. After a long silence, he finall

Alanna was dazed as she listened to him. Though she kept quiet, a tear silently rolled down her cheek. She got what she wanted, but she felt no joy.Their relationship left her with a heart covered with scars alongside several insignificant delightful moments.She had never expected them to end things this way. She thought they would part ways on a friendly note or that perhaps Hades would soon grow bored of her someday. This was the only outcome she had never foreseen.Hades' gaze fell on her tear, and he instinctively wanted to help her wipe it off. However, Alanna dodged him the moment he raised his hand. His fingers froze in mid-air.After several moments, he withdrew his hand. "I asked Margaret to cook you some chicken soup. You should at least take a sip."After a short pause, he continued, "You can stop taking that medicine. I won't pressure you to take it anymore."Then, he got up to serve her the soup. He wrapped his slender fingers around the bowl so tightly that his kn

"Don't worry, Mr. Florentine. I never regret my decisions." Alanna was dead-set.Hades felt even more upset, but he stayed silent. He merely stared at her. He waited for her bottle of IV fluid to finish before leaving the hospital with her.After having some food and the IV therapy, Alanna regained her strength. When Hades walked over to carry her, she declined. "I can walk on my own."Hades scoffed and yielded. After leaving the emergency department, he said, "Let's go home first. It worries me to let you roam outside in this state. Don't even think of blaming it on me if something else happens to you. Besides, Margaret cooked your favorite dishes."Alanna could sense that he was trying to make her stay. However, his attempt seemed ridiculous at this point."There's no need. Help me thank Margaret when you get back," she said as she lowered her gaze. Then, she went to the roadside to hail a taxi.Hades left fuming. After how low he'd stooped, Alanna didn't seem to acknowledge hi

Upon hearing the busy signal, Hades scoffed. Alanna's audacity was truly showing. Despite having yet to receive the termination agreement, she already had the nerve to block his number.Hades snuffed the cigarette and texted her, "Call me back."Then, he stared at his phone as he waited for her call. However, Alanna didn't end up calling him. His phone remained silent till the end, and his text remained the last sentence of their conversation.Hades grew increasingly frustrated. He could no longer suppress his anger. Though he'd convinced himself to stop pursuing what he wouldn't get, it was difficult to follow through.He clutched his phone in a firm grip and thought of going to see her. But on the other hand, he thought there was no reason for him to pester her.Why should he stoop so low? It would be unseemly, as though he couldn't survive without Alanna. He put his phone back down but picked it up again a few moments later. It was still as silent as a mouse.Frustrated, he sc

With a stiff expression, Hades apologized, "I'm sorry."Alanna smiled. "That's all irrelevant now, so let's not talk about it. Hades, since Melanie's so important to you, you should just settle down with her. I'll appreciate it if you both stop bothering me."Hades' expression soured at her words. Was she that eager to cut all ties with him? Besides, since when had he said that he was going to get together with Melanie?Alanna noticed his expression, of course, but she dismissed it. After saying that, she turned and entered the apartment block.Hades lunged forward and grabbed her wrist. Alanna immediately frowned. But then, she suddenly noticed his hand was bleeding.She pressed her lips together and didn't try to break free. "Anything else you have to say?"Hesitating, Hades struggled as he said, "Ally, please give me a chance to redeem myself. I promise I won't let anything like that happen in the future. I'll answer your calls whenever you call me, okay?"Alanna chuckled. "A
