Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 203

Coming back to her senses, Alicia felt as if she was falling apart.

Women were always weaker in such situations.

When his father's business went bankrupt, she would even be harassed at job interviews. As she did odd jobs, a few of them ended in her forfeiting the wages or escaping in tears after only half a month.

At that time, she still acted like a spoiled child. She would return their actions with a slap so that she did not suffer as much!

In the end, she always ended up working for free.

When she was at her wit's end, she danced at a nightclub but she would also meet unreasonable customers who would try to molest her. There was even once that she smashed a bottle to hurt herself, causing herself to bleed. The customer got scared and ran away. If she hadn't done so, the most probable outcome was that she would have been defiled!

From that time on, she realized that the strong preyed on the weak. If she did not want to be the victim, she had to be ruthless. She never begged for mercy when she was met with these situations!

For this reason, she was often fired by nightclubs until she met Manager Gerson. He was a righteous man and she helped him once by coincidence. At that time, she saw a man picking his pocket and shouted to alert him. Since then, he has taken care of her whenever they meet again.

It was also him who taught her many things. He told her to learn from the waitresses and customers at the nightclub. Fighting back would only lead to losses on both parties; the best way was to look after herself.

These years, she had seen many kinds of people and met many obstacles but in the end, she learned many things and had changed a lot.

Currently, Alicia was still grateful.

At the very least, she could support herself at present. When she had problems, she would not beg others for help and wait to be finished! She would not just think of crying! Tears were the most useless thing in this world!

She and her family actually left Bayton City for another reason. She had assaulted someone there previously!

That time, it was her employer. He used work as an excuse and tried to take advantage of her in the office. She had worked in the company for three months; it was her longest term. Yet, she never thought that...

Her clothes were torn and she screamed her lungs out but no one came to help her. If she did not grab a pen nearby and stabbed him in the throat, she would have been ruined by the fat, wrinkled old man. It was funny to think that back then, she tried her best to protect herself for Jeremy!

The man bled profusely and was sent to the hospital. He almost kicked the bucket and she was taken away by the police. She was detained for three days and did not even dare to sleep at night. Her mother ran all over for help; she was so worried and stressed that her hair grayed.

Alicia was really lucky at that time. When their whole family was in despair and saw no future for them, her mother met a friend who just came back from overseas for a visit. Coincidentally, the friend's son was a famous lawyer and he defended her without charging them.

Her case was determined as an assault out of selfdefense and she was acquitted. Despite that, the matter caused an uproar and was all over the news headlines.

Everyone went around saying that Alicia brought bad luck. She brought bad luck to her family, hurt her employer, brought litigation to the company... To sum it up, no one cared about the truth and branded her.

She could not find a job. No one would even hire her for odd jobs anymore.

At that time, her own grandmother was still alive and some relatives would treat them better on behalf of her grandmother. When her grandmother passed away, everything changed. The relatives who would come over every now and then blamed her for everything. They would not even let them attend her funeral.

She spent what was the bleakest and darkest days of her life with her mother before finally deciding to leave all the sadness behind and move to Casterwich City.

Although she felt unlucky sometimes, some good things would pop up eventually whenever she was in despair. She would always meet some kind-hearted souls who would give her the courage to go on. Their situation only changed one year after they moved to Casterwich City.

Alicia did not think that she would meet an awful man like him...

She originally agreed to get married to him and keep up the image of the marriage to keep her mother from worrying. She did not know when she started getting serious about this. Who knew that he would give her such a deadly blow even after she managed to endure it until this day! Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, Alicia really felt like she was really unlucky!

Just as life was getting better, something bad would come up, putting her back to where she came from. She left Bayton City, left everything of the past, and worked hard to start over. This was because she did not want to live through those dark days again. But, why did she have to go through this and be reminded of it once more?

Feeling wronged and inexplicably angry, she burst into tears. "I signed it, why won't you give it to me? I want to go home! Go home!"

Watching her wailing like a child, Frederick felt as if his heart was being crushed. He did not let go and did not speak no matter how hard she hit or insulted him.

Tired of crying, she choked softly before falling in his arms, not an ounce of strength left in her to push him away.

She slept soundly after letting it all out. He held her until his arms were numb and the sounds of her sobbing had faded. Hearing her breathing faintly, he put her head on the pillow slowly before covering her with the blanket.

For a long time, he watched her in a daze. She was frowning as she slept, not moving a muscle. His heart was flooded by emotions.

Frederick did not go anywhere the whole day, he did not even return to the company. He sat in a chair by the bed, focusing on the headboard but his mind was blank.

It was getting dark when he went down to cook some porridge.

Returning to the room, he looked around casually. He noticed a pink luggage case in the corner with two plastic bags beside it.

Has she actually packed her belongings? Was she really prepared to move out after she got the divorce papers?

Feeling a little upset, he put down the porridge as she was still sleeping and walked to the corner. He then unpacked all her luggage. In that instant, Frederick felt as if his heart had shattered into a million pieces.

Half of her suitcase was occupied by books and the rest were trinkets of all kinds. All her clothes were in the two plastic bags and there were not more than ten sets of clothing. The quality of the clothes was quite good but they were a little worn.

Was that all her stuff? Were her belongings so little?

Was she saving up the money she earned to buy a coffin?

Feeling sorry and angry, he took her clothes and threw them into the trash can. Holding a red nightdress, the final piece of clothing, he was about to throw it away when a pair of embroidered butterflies came into view...
