Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Although it's a limited edition, the price of the shoes is fairly acceptable. It's only 39999 dollars. Not to mention how suitable it looks on a fashionable and beautiful lady like you..." the salesperson continued. Glancing at the shoes on her feet, Frederick did not warm up to them. He still thought that they looked utterly ugly. "Do these really look good? I think you should try the others. These just look like shoes for children though."

The shoes were weird enough with furs attached to them. The style became worse with their 'unique' design, different on each side.

Upon hearing that, the salesperson was amused.

"Sir, you must be joking! This asymmetrical style is the newest trend this year! There's always a little girl living in every woman's heart after all. That's the reason why these cute styles are getting popular over recent years. Look at that lady over there! The shoes she's wearing have a similar style as our product. This design is a must-have for this season. Your beautiful girlfriend seems to like it, why don't you buy a pair for her?"

"Hubby -" Alicia turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist, pleading with him. She had clearly fallen for the shoes and could not wait to buy them.

"Would you buy this for me, please? I want it!"

"Alright," he replied as he saw that she liked the shoes so much. He was about to reach for his wallet when his phone started vibrating. He reached for his phone instead and went to the side after making a gesture.

Alicia's arms were empty as he left. She thought that he was not going to buy her the shoes and her excitement faded. All of a sudden, the degrading, piercing voice from years ago crept into her head. "She's just a gold- digger who'll do anything for money. I have evidence to prove that she was the one who seduced the plaintiff..."

"This is a video recording in a store. She was willing to hug a man just for a piece of clothing worth 1000 dollars! She kissed the man when he refused! This was what happened in public with all the customers watching them. It's not hard to see that she is much worse in a closed office with only her and the plaintiff. She seduced the plaintiff, and when she failed to get money from him, she was angered in embarrassment and assaulted the plaintiff on purpose!"

"She is shameless, immoral, and indulges in luxury items. It is apparent that she is used to getting all kinds of stuff for free. This is not the first time she seduced men with her looks to earn herself some pocket money!"

"She has many boyfriends, and she has seduced and manipulated them all in the same way to get their money!"

Her enthusiasm vanished at that second.

The footage was actually taken when she was shopping with Jeremy during their time as a couple. She never expected that a small moment in her daily life would be used a proof for the accusation. The assault, the footage, being accused and humiliated at the court, and her inability to defend herself even though that was not the truth... all of it made her wanted to end her life at that time.

She just wished for Jeremy to buy it for her as a gift since they were
