Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Natalie lifted her head to look at Trevor, but she somehow couldn't bring herself to face him directly. She quickly turned away to conceal the side of her flawed cheek from him.

He came to his senses as soon as she interrupted him. With all hope lost, he merely stood still in the elevator while he blankly stared into the void. Visibly disappointed, he simply said,

"Um, it's alright..."

Victoria's personality was clearly written all over her face, so why did he specifically have unspoken feelings for her?

Could it be...

Just as Trevor was about to rub his eyes, he immediately retracted his hands as soon as he lifted it, and he thought to himself, "What were these indescribable feelings he had for Victoria? Was it just an instinct, a desire of his own, or was it just an exception this time?"

His mind was in a state of disarray and so were his emotions. On the other hand, there was an ominous feeling that rose in his heart.

He gradually turned his body sideways as he was partially dumbstruck while a sense of dullness appeared in his eyes.

Was he exhausted or has he been unattached for way too long? Why did flashbacks of some old-day charm swarm his mind just by a single glance of Victoria?

He felt extremely uncomfortable from head to toe. He frowned and strode away instantly while he was completely unaware of Natalie who stood behind him. She held onto a piece of damp tissue in her hand as she was jaw dropped.

"Master Trevor..."

Her eyes were drowned in disappointment and frustration as she saw him leave before her. After a while, she slowly withdrew her hand, "Why did it seem like Master Trevor was lost for words? Was it because of the beautiful lady who passed by?" Turning around, she subconsciously stared at the entrance of the elevator for a long time.

At this moment, Victoria felt spasms in her heart as if something had blocked her artery while she exited Shine Pearl Tower.

She drove around aimlessly to take her mind off Trevor. Before it even hit her, it was already dark at night. Moreover, she was still caught up in a heavy traffic that felt like an eternity.

Hopelessly knocking her head over and over again, she sighed feebly, "My gosh, why is the traffic following me wherever I go?!"

After a long wait, she gradually got out of traffic and steered in another direction. It wasn't easy for her to find a parking spot in front of a square. "Considering the traffic, I might as well go for dinner and enjoy the evening!" She thought to herself.

She feared that it would've been too crowded at the convenience store since it was dinner time, so she took an extra mile towards a classy hotel that was visually majestic.

Given that she was having dinner alone, she chose to sit at a small table by the window on the first floor. The place was quiet and elegant, just the way she wanted it. She took a seat and ordered lamb chops, some appetizers, and a coffee. Shortly, she smoothly took out a set of newspapers and flipped through the pages.

The melodious music played by the pianist, the delicacy of the dishes, and a strong aromatic coffee... Looking at the lights by the window, her bitter mood was slowly lifted,

"There are tons of things in life that are still beautiful!"

She stood up and grabbed her handbag after a pleasing dinner and a satisfied stomach. As she was about to leave, Victoria saw the waiter escorting a bunch of customers in. She deliberately turned around and took a big turn by the sidewalk to avoid congestion as the piano was placed in the center of the stage.

Right before she took another step, a sudden warm and familiar voice came to her ears, "Hehe, don't say that! Miss Grint, you're just flattering me... Would you like to have a taste of this dessert? It's quite delicious."

"Thank you, it's my pleasure! Also, just Isabella will do!"

To her disbelief, a familiar yet gentle voice was heard by her as she started to focus on it. In the blink of an eye, an exceptionally beautiful young lady appeared in front of her. She had silky straight long hair, an alluring appearance with an entrancing smile, and her gestures were elegant as well. To her surprise, Isabella was a model of etiquette. She was neither servile nor overbearing, merely a bright and charming girl before everyone's eyes. At this moment, a huge bouquet of captivating red roses was placed on a sofa inside the hotel...This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"Anthony, I have to give it to you, you truly are the most courteous man I've ever met! You're such a patient gentleman. Please bear with me if you find me boring..."

While slicing the cake, Isabella obviously felt shy.

All of a sudden, Victoria was muddled by the words that she heard, "Anthony? Anthony Clements?"

Separated by a wooden partition, Victoria noticed Anthony, whose back was facing her. He was having a wonderful evening date with Isabella. It was really...

Gradually taking a few steps forward, her eyes inadvertently turned towards them. She was taken aback as soon as she heard his soft yet cruel words.

"Isabella, you're... You're unlike any other woman that I've ever met before!"

"Kimmy, you're the most remarkable

woman I've ever met in my whole

life. A woman like you is truly unforgettable!" The blandishments of his words were still running through her mind as she overheard their dazzling conversation.

าว:

Memories of that torrential stormy night suddenly flashed across Victoria's mind. Brutally ravaged with endless darkness, the despair of abandonment, the grimy pain, and the tears... Not to forget the hellish voice that spoke of a cold profanity like a curse.

"Stop begging me! It was your man who turned his back on you! Don't you blame me for being

ruthless..."

"Don't you dare thank me, you're just a loser who can't even lie to save yourself! What's your purpose for being here at all?!"

"Your so-called 'boyfriend' is awfully brave. You'll face the consequences again for every 'sorry' that he says! I'm excited to find out who'll bite the bullet..."

"Save me! Save me, please!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Her mind immediately went blank as she was caught up by the past. In that instant, Victoria gritted her teeth harder than she ever did before. Catching the sight of her peculiarity, Isabella curiously gazed over at her while doubts emerged from the bottom of her heart.

Anthony noticed her concern as soon as he placed down his cutlery. His eyes swiftly turned towards the direction that caught her eye, "What are you looking at?"

In the blink of an eye, he immediately stood up while his face became pale. The atmosphere was then taken over by a sense of gloominess as Anthony spoke with a shivering tone.

"Kim... Kimmy?"

All of a sudden, Victoria was struck by intense emotions as her lips curled into a smile.

Her eyes were again falling for the man whom she once loved deeply. An air of melancholy surrounded her as if her heart was eternally trapped in frozen prison. "What were men's true intentions?" She asked herself. For Anthony, she had sacrificed the most important part of being a woman; she even suffered multiple humiliations that she never had before. But now, he was already on a date with someone else before she could even get over him!

Besides that, they were even having a candlelight dinner with some wine! It was indeed a pleasing and romantic occasion for them...

Victoria had devoted her entire life to love Anthony, yet he abandoned her at a time of crisis without having the slightest guilt in him. He even went out for blind dates without a single sense of remorse for her!

It was ironic how she was uncertain whether she should've cried or laughed, "It's not worth it! Everything I've done was hardly worth it!"

Would things have turned out differently if she had known that it would come to this? She had been with Anthony through thick and thin, yet he wasn't grateful at all...

God was really messing with her!

Shortly, Isabella stood up as well. Her eyes were turning back and forth between the sight of Victoria and Anthony. "What's wrong, Anthony? Do you both know each other?"
