Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Frederick caught the cardigan and gave him a look. Carson went into the hall right after that.

Alicia supported herself against the wall with her eyes closed. She tried to calm herself. Frederick knew that she must have gotten a shock from what happened. However, he didn't know that she would be so shocked that she would go limp. He felt very guilty at the moment.

"Ally, I..." Just as he wanted to explain, a slap fell on his face and Alicia shouted, "Get lost!" In the next moment, she threw his coat aside and snatched her cardigan. She then took off running.

Frederick was stunned for a moment. Only after a few seconds did he pick up his coat and chase her. "I'm sorry, Ally! Please hearout! I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that it would shock you!" "You have already shocked me!" Alicia shook his hand away and her face was as pale as paper, "You're not afraid of scaring me! Instead, you were just afraid that I wouldn't agree! How could you takeas a betting chip? As bait! All these for your pathetic, horrible motive. Perhaps next tyou would askto serve others? What am I to you?" Alicia was crying and she was fuming in anger.

"Ally, I won't do so!" This time, it was indeed a tricky situation. He was also forced to make such a decision without discussing it with her. They were at the stairway, hence it wasn't appropriate for him to say too much. Therefore, al he could do was apologize.

"I am truly sorry for what happened this time! Let's go back alright? I'll explain it to you when we get back." "Don't touch me!" She shook him away without considering much about his dignity, "You really scared me, Frederick! Don't touch me! Stay away from me..." Alicia pushed him hard and dashed into the elevator. He also knew that he went too far this time; he felt really bad too. Then, he, too, dashed towards the staircase beside it.

He chased after her as she left the hotel. Frederick hugged her tightly on the streets.

"Ally, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! It was really an emergency this time. I had no other choice! I'm sorry for hurting you... But please trust me! I knew that I wouldn't lose! I won't let you fall into another person's hands. I will never..." Actually, he really did tremble for a moment earlier! In actual fact, he was afraid. He was afraid of any uncontrollable circumstances! "What if? What if you actually lost? Did you know who you were up against? What if I couldn't hold it through the whole round and gave up on myself! You would sacrificefor a woman; what else could you not do? Next time, you should just hituntil I'm unconscious, then sendto a man's room without my consent! What if he really ends up fancying me, and kidnap or even kill me?" Alicia was so furious that she sobbed and screamed. She even hit Frederick.

He held her waist with one arm, while the other hand wiped away the tears streaming down her face. He felt really bad.

"There is no 'what if'! I wouldn't have lost just now! I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Ally! I wouldn't want to hurt you. I would never..." In that moment, Frederick had nothing else in mind to say, but he also truly acknowledged how deep this had hurt her. He didn't dare to let go of his grip. His voice started to waver a little as well. "Don't think oflike that! You are my woman, forever mine! Unless I die one day, or else, I will never let you go for anyone else! Never!" He held her tightly. He tried to warm her ice-cold heart with his body's warmth.

"I have gambled since I was ten years old. After I turned twenty, I have never lost any gif I wanted to win. The casino is a place that I have played until I don't want to play anymore seem to have a gift for this. I would know how to win the gonce I saw through it with a look. It is as if I have received professional training for it. I have no interest in this at all! When did you ever seegamble? Today is an exception. I was sure that I would win and that was why I dared to let you stay by my side! I would have never lost you or the game!" He even had plans to play dirty if he lost! After all, those who actually knew him knew that he was not the type to play fair. He would do whatever it takes to achieve what he wants if it was necessary; that was his style! He was not afraid of breaking the rules for her! He only had his personal intentions in mind whenever he did anything! Only him! Frederick pressed her head against his chest, and he was also in despair, "Don't think oflike that! No matter what kind of situation I put you in, you will always be safe as long as I am around. My embrace is your whole world! I am sorry. I won't ever make any decision without your consent anymore... Don't doubt me, don't get mad at me!" Alicia kicked and hit him. There were no signs of her calming down at all.

"I don't care! I don't care at all! You're just saying all these nice things to fool me! Before we cout, you just said that kwas wearing too little, didn't you? But now? Do you even care? Were y even meticulous about it? You were just concerned that I would wear too much and show too little; that I was not eye-catching enough! How should I know if whatever nice things you just said was not another trick forto fall in the future? I am just an object for you to use when you need me, and to be abandoned when you don't! This time, it was my beauty to lure others. What will it be next time? I treat you sincerely with all my heart. How could you uselike that?" Why were all men that selfish? Jeremy used her to take revenge for his family. He used her feelings to understand her family and then hurt her parents and ruined everything she had.

But now, Frederick also used her to achieve his other motives. He would push her to such a situation so easily. What if she really got taken away by that man? She was for sure up against an endless cycle of humiliation and she would be better off dead! Suddenly, Alicia's open heart seemed to be like a clam that got hurt. It just wanted to shut its shell up tightly. She squatted down and cried with despair. All of a sudden, she felt that this man that she took as her support, that she took as the reason for all her decisions, only treated her as someone who was not that necessary! Seeing her posture, it was like she was a child who was abandoned by the whole world. He suddenly thought of something, and his face went pale. He pulled her up and wiped away her tears harshly. He then pressed on her oulders firmly, "Don't comparewith Jeremy, that jerk! I did not trick you, nor am I

playing with your feelings to use you! Before today, I didn't know that there would be a gambling session. I didn't know anything about Nickor! I only got to know about it after Carson and the others arrived. They couldn't find anyone else to do it and they were afraid that it would all be too late; that was why they planned on you! You wady all changed and ready when I knew about it! About TX, Trevor was always the one who was in charge of it! He didn't informabout anything this time! I was also forced into this situation today! Today's matter would affect many people's lives and safety! It was all too sudden and urgent, that was why I didn't discuss it with you beforehand! Ally, besides Grandma, you are the one who I care about the most in this world!" Frederick let out a deep sigh as he hugged her once again,

"Don't be like this, Ally! If I really placed you in a dangerous situation, I would definitely die in front of you! But there are sthings that are just inconvenient forto tell you here. I will tell you everything in detail when we get back. Calm down for now..." "I don't care! I just don't care! Everything else is more important thanto you! I am not even worthy to be compared to ten million betting chips!" X
