Alanna Jacinto has been Hades Florentine's secret lover for three years. Despite that, she hasn't won his heart or love. But when she's finally decided to give up, he comes chasing after her.Alanna says coldly, "Too little, too late, Mr. Florentine. Your love is cheaper than dirt."Hades holds her tightly. "Yes, my love is cheaper than dirt, and I am too. Don't go, Ally. I'm begging you."

"Take a good look at the refined madam."Alanna frowned slightly, but she soon recognized the woman. It was Miriam, the one she had saved in the washroom on the day of the ceremony.Miriam was thrilled to see her savior. She quickly hugged Alanna."I finally got to meet you, Ms. Jacinto! The reason why we came here today is to meet you in person! Thank you so much for saving my life!"Alanna laughed. "It was nothing."But Miriam refused to let her go. "It might be nothing to you, but to me, you're still my savior."Saul began telling Alanna how grateful he was for saving Miriam's life. Hector chuckled softly from his position."They wish to invite you to Luterynd as Crevania's Goodwill Ambassador. It so happens that Mrs. Simmons and I share the same idea to nominate you as the ambassador as well. We wonder if you're interested in accepting
Travis didn't say anything after that. He double-checked the press conference's sequence of events with Alanna one last time before walking away.The moment he did, Holly approached Alanna immediately."Does Hades know how close you are with Mr. Silva?"Alanna shot her a look. "Have you fully recovered from your injuries, Ms. Maxwell?"Of course, Holly had yet to recover from her injuries. In fact, the gash on her cheek might become a permanent scar.When Alanna brought up Holly's injuries, the latter looked immensely frustrated. She never would've thought that Hades was willing to hurt her because of Alanna.Even though the Maxwells later visited Cyrus, who promised them that he'd deal with Hades appropriately, Holly was still annoyed. After all, Hades cared about Alanna a great deal.Holly tittered softly. "What's there to be smug about, Alanna? Do you really think you can capture Hades' heart just because he wants you by his side?"Alanna just looked at the written speech wh
A moment of silence went by. "The Maxwells are my grandfather's old friends," Hades finally said.Alanna knew what he meant almost immediately.Hades chuckled. "I promise I won't make physical contact with her. Is this okay?"Jealousy began swelling up in Alanna's heart. She wanted nothing more than to ask Hades if it was okay for him to skip out on the banquet.It didn't matter if Hades and Holly ended up making physical contact. Cyrus would still introduce Holly to everyone as his future granddaughter-in-law.But Alanna suppressed her urge to say anything.At the end of the day, Hades was a Florentine. Alanna had no reason to ask him not to attend his own grandfather's birthday banquet.Hades could tell that Alanna was upset, so he caressed her cheek."Why don't you attend the banquet with me?"Alanna shook her head. "Nah."She forced out a smile and added, "If I were to attend the banquet, I'd just make myself a free target for humiliation and derogatory insults."Hades f
Alanna spent the next two days processing the handover request with Hudson while preparing the documents for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Based on her and Hades' speculations, she thought Edmund wouldn't easily let her leave Northlight Group.Surprisingly enough, Edmund never said or did anything even on the last day of the handover process.Alanna couldn't help but think if she was overthinking things. Now that all the tasks were successfully handed over to Hudson, Alanna called Hades before getting off work. She wanted to head to the airport straight away.However, someone stopped her outside the company."Hello, Ms. Jacinto. Can we talk for a moment?"Alanna frowned at the beautiful and elegant-looking woman in front of her. "And you are?""You can call me Mrs. Florentine. I'm Hades' mother."Stunned, Alanna nodded a moment later. "Alright. We can talk at the café next door."Ever since Joana laid her eyes on Alanna, she never averted her gaze.After both of them sat
Alanna turned around to look at Hades.Sometime later, she said, "Can you wear condoms from now on? You're making me really uncomfortable right now."Hades chuckled in response. "Is it dripping already? Let me see."When he was about to hike Alanna's skirt upward, she quickly kicked him away. "Get lost."Hades laughed as he scooped her into his arms. "I'll help you with the cleaning up.""No way! I'll do it myself!""Be a good girl now, Ally. Let me help you clean yourself up."…On the other hand, Chelsey had just parked her car in the hospital's parking lot when Michel walked past her. His temple was still bruised.Chelsey shot him a glance before slamming her car door shut. Then, she made her way toward the inpatient department.The disdain and disgust in her gaze were so strong that Michel couldn't ignore it at all. Hence, he caught up to her angrily."What the hell do you mean by that, Chelsey?"Chelsey stopped in her tracks before patting Michel on the shoulder. "Mr.
Alanna was taken aback by the sudden kiss.Having snapped out of her trance, she tried to push Hades off her. But he responded by deepening the kiss instead."Ally, are you listening to me?"Travis' voice rang out from next to her ear. Yet, Hades picked up the phone and said, "Do you even know that you're disturbing our private time?"Then, he hung up on Travis immediately.Flustered and anxious, Alanna yelped, "What the hell, Hades?"Hades gripped her by the waist and picked her up right away."Stay away from Travis, Ally."This left Alanna feeling a little helpless. "We don't contact each other unless it's about work."Hades' expression was still sullen. "You can also contact your other colleagues when it comes to work, right? But why is it always Travis that contacts you? Is there no one else working at the ministry?"Alanna frowned at his invasive questions. "Hades, both Travis and I don't get to decide who does what in our jobs. I can promise you that I don't have anyt
"You're overthinking things. Mr. Florentine Senior and I go way back. Not to mention, Hades and I do not have any conflicts of interest in the industry. Why would I need to deal with him?"Alanna smiled, but she didn't say anything.Edmund looked at her and asked, "Do you still want to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"Alanna nodded.Edmund sighed and said, "Alright. I'll respect your decision."Alanna frowned slightly as she left Edmund's office.How much of Edmund's words could be trusted? How much of it was lies?…Alanna spent the afternoon busy with the handover. The sky was already dark when she left the company.Hades had stopped by the roadside. Alanna was about to walk toward him when she heard Renee call her. "Ms. Jacinto."Alanna paused, whereas Hades had already gotten out of the car.Renee was startled. "Mr. Florentine, you're here again."Hades nodded and walked toward them."Why are you here this time?"Hades laughed. "I'm here to pick up my girlfriend
Esther continued to pound on the car window as she cried and screamed. However, Hades started the car and drove off.In the car, Hades remained silent for some time before he said, "Ally, Melanie is…"Alanna interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. She said, "You don't have to explain anything to me. I heard it all just now."Hades glanced at Alanna and placed his injured hand in hers."I'll have my people watch over her properly. I won't let her cause any more trouble."Alanna looked at the hand in hers. After a moment, she still decided to hold his hands.She didn't say a word throughout the ride home."I'll come and pick you up tonight," Hades said before she got out of the car. He sounded like he was trying hard to butter her up.Alanna nodded and got out of the car.Hades took out his phone and called Yves once Alanna's figure disappeared into the distance."How is Melanie doing?"Yves sighed. "Same as usual. She keeps crying and making a ruckus. The doctor
"Chelsey's asleep now. You won't be much help even if you go back up. Do you want me to send you to work?"Alanna shook her head. "It's alright. I still need to go and prepare some documents as I'll have to fly to Brunstein City in two days.""Again?" Hades asked.Alanna laughed and went up to kiss him. "Be good and wait for me to earn more money to support you.""I don't need you to support me. I just need you to satisfy my hunger."Alanna's cheeks turned red as she shoved him slightly. "You should head back. I'll go up and check on Chelsey."Although Hades was unwilling to let Alanna leave, he let her go.Chelsey slept the whole day and headed off to work the next day.Alanna wanted to talk to her about her situation. But she could tell Chelsey didn't want to talk about Michel.So, she could only swallow back the words.Hades had already been waiting for her when Alanna got down.He was holding a bag full of bandages and ointments. He handed them to her when he saw her com
