Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Meanwhile, Frederick, who had woken up really early, braved the dark and rain just to rush back to have breakfast with Alicia. He had never expected such a scene to unfold before his eyes. At that moment, fo the very first time, he experienced clearly the feeling of being betrayed.

That day, besides spending half the morning at the boxing gym, he even downed salcohol, something he had stopped for a very long time. After sleeping until it was past 2 pm, Frederick got up and headed to the office. Naturally, he was also in an extremely bad mood for that day.

He didn't have the mood to read the messages by Alicia, but glanced them through. After a rough glance, what appeared on his mind were images of her being kittenish and apologetic.

All of a sudden, it occurred to Frederik that maybe he didn't mean that much to her. The impacts from the Western City incident followed by this shook Frederick's understanding and conviction totally. He felt as if he had returned to the moment when Danica left him. The feeling of being pushed from the peak by someone you had trusted so much, and then losing both your career and romance was such heart-wrenching pain.

He wouldn't be bothered by the Western City incident, but what had happened just now seemed to stab him in the heart, and kept appearing at the back of Frederick's mind.

Likewise, to Alicia, the broken feeling which she had experienced before becvivid. She remembered how it felt to be thrown out of heaven when she ran to Jeremy's house, only to be thrown the following message in her face: "Please leave. Master Jeremy does not want to see you." That day, she waited on the doorstep in the rain for a long time. She also ran to chase after his car in the rain at midnight, only to fall, and got muddied all over.

That embarrassing moment also seemed to have been eternized that it appeared on all the tabloids of Bayton City.

That day after, her beautiful dreams were shattered. And their relationship ended completely.

What Frederick had said out of anger not only hurt her, but made her terrified as well.

Back then, whenever facing such problems, she would look for her grandmother for guidance, but now, she only had herself to rely on. After staying at hand feeling down for almost the entire day, Alicia made her way to Soaver International when it was close to off-work time.

Learning from her experience in Western City, she avoided drawing attention herself. This time, she didn't enter the building but chose to wait for him at the entrance.

As Chat and Frederick walked out, Alicia ran up to him excitedly. Looking at him, her eyes almost teared as she felt she had been wrongly accused, but she could only look at him without uttering a single word. Just with one look, Chet noticed something wasn't right with Frederick today. He excused himself and said, 'Til go get the car, Frederick." Looking sideways at her, Frederick, still choking with emotion, said, "Say what you have to say." "I'm sorry. I know it might be inappropriate for my actions, but we were really trapped in the elevator for most of the night. I really didn't do anything wrong behind you...." "Are you done?" Frederick asked indifferently, turning to walk away.

Recalling how both of them looked like and got stuck in the elevator for almost the whole night, Frederick couldn't help thinking: If it'd been like what she had said, then wouldn't Jeremy be staying at her place instead if the elevator had operated as usual? He suddenly remembered Alicia's message yesterday asking him if he was still at Greenwich. He assumed Alicia was asking because she missed him, but right now, Frederick felt like it wasn't the case. Maybe she wanted to check if he was returning, so that she could invite that b*stard over to her place.

On top of that, Jeremy was clad in his coat, with the bitemark on his hand that was obviously Alicia's and was even a fresh one! And Alicia, how could she see that man in such thin garments? With such unbearable scenes flashing across Frederick's mind, he found it hard to assuage his pain that made him feel disturbed and furious. The drastic change in Frederick's demeanor made Alicia shudder in fear. As he turned away from her, Alicia ran after him.

"Frederick!" What did he mean by this? "Check if you don't believe me. I parked my car at the mall yesterday just to get away from him! He claimed that you'd been womanizing and said nasty things about you. I didn't believe him at all. So why can't you believenow?" Alicia sobbed, her tears falling to the ground.

"Let us both cool down for the next two days," Frederick answered, for he didn't know to face her at this moment.

"Hubby, are you planning to leave me?" Alicia's sobbing stopped Frederick in his tracks, even his heart felt like it paused for a moment. Seeing that he had not said anything, Alicia's tears flowed even more.

He didn't reprimand her at all over the Western City incident, but in this, he was completely different. He had always been fine with her being puffed up, stubborn, and unruly because he was after all her man. However, this was a bitter pill to swallow. For a woman he loved so much to cheat on him and to have her being threatened by someone were entirely two different things. He wouldn't tolerate that at all. But, leaving her would make his heart bleed. It was indeed a difficult decision for Frederick.

What made him hesitant was not entirely due to the incident earlier on today, but more of him struggling to wrap his head around all these. He found himself at his wit's end in making choices. Therefore, this time, Frederick did not give an answer but turned around and left immediately.

Standing right behind him, Alicia felt, in a split second, that she had been once again deserted by the whole world and her world fell into complete darkness.

She stood motionless and did not go after him....

After sbusiness discussions at the club, Frederick walked out of a V.LP. room. Stopping by the window, he took out a cigarette, but ended up only sniffing it and then putting it back into his pocket. Standing in a daze for a while, Frederick then prepared to wash his face. As he turned around, and a slender figure in white stood before him, "Something on your mind?" Danica? "Why are you here?"

"I was told that there's a new Yoga instructor and so I cto know about the courses. And youre the oper saw you the m moment the elevator opened!" she said. She had certainly been observing him but she wouldn't tell him that right now! "It's her again, isn't it?" It seemed that no one except Alicia could make him feel rejected and lonely! Danica would get frustrated whenever she thought about her plot which she had been hatching all along, but only to fail in making Frederick diss Alicia.

Why were they treated so differently? He was so much more tolerant of Alicia than of her.

With her sharp fingernails curled and prodded her palm, Danica could no longer contain her emotion.

"Frederick, why do you still want to be with her when she's treating you

like this? This tit's Western City, but the next time, it could be the Southern and Northern Cities. Please don't hold what I'm about to saym against me. You're no longer the old Frederick. The duration of you two knowing each other was rather short, and how much true love was there? It's unlike our decade-old friendship. You're like having a tbomb with you. It's not even like you to be so irresolute." Despite such hoo-ha, was he going to pretend as if nothing had happened? How could he remain so calm if whenever things had to do with that woman?

This was so unfair. In fact, right at this moment, it should have been Frederick regretting his earlier m decision of choosing Alicia over herself. And at this point, both Danica and Alicia should have been at an equal level. Yet why was he behaving as such? "Frederick, what we have been sharing has always been the purest. We, the both of us, are the real perfect match!" X
