Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

The way the man called for Alicia reminded her a lot about the past. Right then, her eyes started to glisten with tears. She helped the man up and spoke coyly. "Nicholas... Is it really you?" It was Nicholas Blanchard, Alicia's elder brother.

Right then, they were interrupted by an impatient male voice. "Hey! What do you think you're doing? You're not here to reminisce about the past! Where's the money?" Standing beside Nicholas, Alicia glared at the man angrily. "None of your business! How would I know you're not cheating me? Let me get an explanation first!"

Alicia turned herself towards Nicholas and started to speak in a gentler tone, "What happened?"

How could he owe them so much money?

The man was startled by how aggressive Alicia was. He scratched the back of his head unconsciously.

"Your brother owes us money! If it wasn't for us, he would have already been dead on the streets of Italy! Five hundred thousand for smuggling fees, two hundred thousand for labor fees, and another hundred thousand for us to come all the way from Bayton City. Do you know how hard it was for us to look for you? Now, give us exactly eight hundred thousand dollars!"

Smuggled... from Italy?

Those words popped into Alicia's mind. She noticed how dark Nicholas's skin was and how much bigger his build looked. It was as if he had been doing manual labor for a long period of time There were countless scars on his body. What kind of life was he living for the past ten years?

Alicia noticed how silent Nicholas was and knew that they were telling the truth.

How did he smuggle his way to Italy? Thinking of the many stowaways who died miserably and being abused, Alicia broke into a cold sweat.

It was lucky enough that he made it back alive!

Eight hundred thousand dollars was a big amount for Alicia but the priority at this moment was to get Nicholas back safely. Alicia took out a bank card and started to speak.

"There's eight hundred thousand inside and the password is written on the back!

Withdraw it yourself."

Moments later, another man came with a credit card terminal in his hand.
