Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

All of a sudden, she was reminded of the time when she came after him to Korea. She was told to be given a chance, but in fact, he cold-bloodedly threw her to

another man.

Realization struck her. It was as if in an instant, Carolien was enlightened. The man was heartless, and that was especially the case with women!

It was no wonder that there were rumors circulating about Elijah that he wasn't interested in women. He was ruthless, cold-blooded, and bloodthirsty, popularly known as the "King of Night". How could he be empathetic?

She must have been bewitched to be all head over heels for him!

It was true that he would not fall in love with any woman since his heart was a dead woman's!

It was the first time that Carolien felt her love was all in vain! How could he push her into the fire pit as Kim Mi-chi's ransom?

Her significant partner, whom she poured her heart out to?

There was probably nothing more disheartening than that! Yet, it was human nature in its truest form! In fact, Carolien had seen and experienced the harsh reality more than once.

She had thought that she might throw a fit of rage and go mad with anger, but right then, she was pretty surprised as to how calm she was in talking to him. "Carolien, I'm begging you! This is really important. You mustn't be absent!"

There was a hint of pleading in his tone as he anxiously reached out his hand to grab her wrist. "Trust me, I guarantee that nothing will ever happen to you! Could you think of it as doing me a favor?"

Carolien did not agree to it, nor did she reject his begging.

"Carolien, this issue is seriously important. Nothing is allowed to go wrong. It's all for you!"

With the corners of her lips curved into a mocking smile, Carolien spoke up, "For me? Haha, why don't you call me "Gracie" again'?"

All of a sudden, his tense nerves seemed to have been pierced by a needle. Without realizing it, Elijah's hands retracted with his eyes widened in horror. A hint of fear flashed across his eyes.

Did she know anything?
