Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Victoria realized that Alicia was out of it, therefore she held her hands as they exchanged looks. She didn't ask further questions about it. "Are you okay? Do you want me to give you a ride?” Alicia shook her head. "No! I just want to be... alone!"

Similarly, she also rejected Marshall's request afterward. She feared that Victoria wouldn't be safe staying here, thus she dragged Victoria out together.

"Victoria, let's leave together! Don't stay in this kind of place for long!"

"Got it! I still have to wait for a friend to get something, I'll leave in a while! I'll be careful, don't worry about me! Ally, did you encounter something? If you need help, just call us. Alone we can do so little but together we can do so much. Don't just keep it to yourself. You would be defeated if you keep everything in!"

"I know! I'll tell you everything I can!" However, even Alicia herself hadn't cleared her own doubts yet. The duo spoke for a while. After reminding Victoria several things. only then did she leave.

That night, Alicia's mind was in too much of a mess. Fortunately, there weren't many cars around. Alicia stopped before a bridge opposite a mall while gazing at the neon lights and the crowd of people that was faraway. Many scenes kept replaying themselves in her mind. Her one-night stand with Frederick, their lightning-fast marriage... Everything flashed across her mind like scenes from a movie.

Uncontrollably, tears blurred her vision

The place where they lived was Landrum Garden. It was full of jasmine flowers. The house and the courtyard were filled with the fragrance of jasmine.

No wonder he disliked the scent on her body so much! No wonder he disliked it when her body wash was jasmine-scented! Bah! It turned out that she was just not the person whom he was used to!

How much did he like that woman? The house was full of jasmine and the only decorative items in the office that she could remember were those few pots of jasmine!

It turned out that jasmines represented Danica! Her nickname was Jasmine! Jasmine! No wonder he loved jasmines so much! It was everywhere around him!

The villa had been built for Danica; Landrum Garden was named after her. In the office, the jasmine which he gazed at during his free time even represented Danica! Private room No. 7 of Seventh Hotel, such a romantic and luxurious place, was also for her!

No wonder Alicia had thought that it was a dating spot for couples! It turned out that he was so attentive to Danica! Everything was prepared for her!

Fire and water should never, and could never have been mixed. Only someone as stupid as Alicia would believe Frederick's words. Someone who used to love water would never come to like fire.

Alicia looked a lot like the old Danica! Was this the reason he had deceived Alicia with such sweet words over and over again?

In the house that belonged to Danica, she wore the clothes that Danica liked, wore the earrings that Danica liked... Was she acting as Danica's temporary substitute as she made love to him?

It was too much! Had Danica ever slept in that bed too? Was his every word, his every sign of tenderness and gentleness, all forthat woman? What was his intention?

Wasn't Danica back? Why? Could it be that she was disabled? Did Frederick treat Alicia well, all for her to sacrifice everything for him and take care of Mrs. Clements, be the shield when facing Mrs. Clements? Or was it that Danica was too embarrassing to be around with as of now, or was she in danger, or did she have any other reasons that needed Alicia to become her temporary shield?

Since Alicia looked similar to Danica, was it possible that Frederick just wanted to take advantage of Alicia? It was horrible! Alicia was also a living person. Why did he want her to live in Danica's shadow?

He had restricted her with all kinds of rules, held her back, and coaxed her. But, he joined the anniversary party with Danica behind Alicia's back! He even gave Danica earrings and took away Alicia’s chance to win the first prize!

How could men be so shameless!

Suddenly, Alicia thought of Jeremy again. He used to treat her the same way. He had once treated her very well but in the end. he had thrown her off from the top of the world to the very bottom

They hated each other deeply. In the past, she couldn't understand why. At present éven though she still hated him; at least she had a reason to forgive him. If she really went” through all of this just to pay-off her brother's debt to Jeremy, atleast it was over!

But what about Frederick?

Had he been testing her up to this moment? What did she do wrong? She just wanted a pure relationship. Why did all men treat her like this, one after another?

Alicia couldn't understand at all. She felt so disgusted.

She hated this feeling!

She didn't want to live in the shadow of others and’she didn't want to deceive hersétf to please a man who couldn't even act well! Even if it was> a short relationship that would end tragically, he should still belong-to Alicia’ She could bear the ups-and downs, the joys and Sorrows, but she couldn't accept thatall of his actions had been pretentious and deceptive. He did not belong to her!

In fact, every word he said, everything he did, and every present he gave her, was not meant for her. What were her existence and contribution for? Was she an intermediary to help them achieve joy and harmony?

No!

Letting the cold breeze blow against her. Alicia maintained motionless for a long time. She didn't move at all. The lights in front of her were gradually dimming but she was still immersed in her thoughts. She clenched her fists.

On the other side, as Frederick watched Alicia leave, his thought was also jumbled up. He wasn't listening to what his friends said. He was dragged back to the private room and felt annoyed.

However, there were so many people around him that he couldn't walk away for a while.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Finally, as a last resort. his gaze for help turned to Carson. The duo cooperated and they were finally able to step away from the crowd. When they went out, Frederick spoke.

"I'm leaving now! Please help me to say goodbye to them, thanks!”

After patting Carson on the shoulder, he never stopped walking as he dialed Alicia's number. When he got into the car, he stepped down on the accelerator.

"Sorry, the number you've dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later! Sorry..."

Frederick knew that she must be emotional buthe was not sure if she had goneback home. Thus,he =X headed ta A icia's mother's house~ first. When he arrived, the lightdt? the nouse'was not lit and Alicia’s-car was not there. Then, he rushed over (Landrum Garden. Contént belongs to

After entering the house, he realized that she hadn't come back yet. He almost dropped the phone in a panic for the first time. He called a few more times but no one answered.

After looking at the time, he realized that it was almost eleven o'clock! Guessing that Alicia might be in a bad mood and just needed to relax, Frederick began to wait at the bar as there was nowhere for Alicia to go.

Time gradually passed by. Every second seemed torturous and Frederick's eyes were stuck at the door. Far the first time ever, he got restless. He was fidgeting anxiously and kept looking at his watch.

"Why haven't you come back?”
