The next day, the soft golden rays of sunlight shone bright, waking up everyone that was in a deep sleep.

Alicia got up in a daze but she seemed to have gone through the longest and most difficult journey. She felt like she had just resurrected from the dead and she was in a state of despair.

She got up and went to take a shower. She looked at herself in the mirror in disgust as she grabbed a handful of her hair.

Were God punishing her?

In the past, she had everything. She regarded money as dirt in her eyes and what she wanted the most was love. However, on the journey of love, she got a huge slap in her face. At present, love was still her kryptonite.

Could it be that she was destined not to fall in love with anyone in her life?

Patting her pale face, Alicia took out a gorgeous-looking lipstick and applied it on her lips.

'Alicia, why are you always tempted by a man out of your reach? You should know how it ends, why would you pretend that it would work out? Why are you so greedy? You deserve to be sad!"

She pinched herself hard, trying to wake herself up. She turned her body slightly and her gaze fell onto a black flower.

"Love is not for you and it should have been buried long ago! It's not a big deal, I am sure you can stand up again. Weren't you dead set that you would never fall in love again? Who can be sure that there won't be another Frederick?'1

She kept comforting herself in her mind but the corners of her mouth still couldn't help falling. "Still, I feel so devastated now—"

She was still in love with this man. At least, at this moment, she was!

Love was like a tangling knot to her. Every time she touched it, it restrained her, pulling her down into the deep depths of sorrow. If she wanted to get out, she needed to struggle with all her might, bearing the pain of losing a layer of her skin.

Alicia couldn't help but laugh at herself, "I wonder how many layers of skin can I peel off?"

However, no matter how hard and tired she was and how badly hurt she was at the moment, she had no right to be sad. She didn't even have the right to die. Her father was in a coma because of her. Her mother still needed her. She had to live a happy life.

She sighed faintly and felt upset. Then, she took her car key and went out the door.
