Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

It was as if a bolt of lightning had streaked across the sky. Time seemed to have been split in half, freezing the atmosphere momentarily silent for several seconds.

"Do you know what you're talking about? For another woman! What do you take me as?"

Carolien's hands trembled as her chest puffed. In her voice were evident traces of fury. She had thought that her slap could wake him up, but to her surprise, the low raspy voice sounded once more.

"Carolien..."

He was still holding on?

With a backhanded slap, Carolien's face grew gloomier. "Am I not a woman? Why can't you think for my sake? Why would you insist that I do it since you clearly know that it's a living hell?"

Having been slapped twice, his cheeks were burning hot while his heart dripped blood. Yet, he remained to raise his hand and grab her shoulders. It was as if he had used up all of his strength to say,

"I'm begging you!"

He was well aware that she was terribly raging and would never listen to any explanation he gave other than to dispel the idea. Yet, the matter had too many parties involved. Even if he knew that there were risks, even if he knew that it was equally tough on him, he must get her to go.

It was because he had agreed to Kwon. There was no turning back. Right then as they were stuck in a dilemma, they had to brace themselves in charging forward!

He promised to ensure her safety. Even if it didn't work out in the end, even if he was to tear the contract in person, he vowed to protect her safety, but he had to give it a try! The stage had been set up, so her cooperation in the scene was needed!

Words were not enough to describe how terrible Elijah's mood was right then. As he couldn't find the right words to explain the issue, all he could do was beg her.

When he forgot her birthday, or when she ran into him with Kim Mi-chi, she never once shed a tear. Even when he put forward such an absurd request, she didn't cry either, but right then, her tears couldn't stop spilling. Pulling the corner of his clothes, Carolien really wanted to give him a few slaps. Ferociously punching him, she kicked him to the ground but as she went on, she no longer had the strength to even raise her hand.

The b*stard!

Was he begging her? Was it a beg? He was clearly forcing her, forcing her to her death!

Anger overwhelmed her to the point of her internals aching. An inexplicable urge of hatred rose from the bottom of her heart. All in an instant, the emotions were so intense that they almost erupted in flames. Even when she knew about Gracie and that his love for her was all fake, she had never had such strong feelings.

He reached out and held her tightly in his arms. A clear hint of tears appeared in his eyes. He knew that she was bawling, crying her heart out. His heart ached for her, but he dared not even look her in the eyes as he pressed her onto his chest. Gracie, who he had once avoided talking about, no longer mattered to him.

Even after a long while, Carolien remained to cry in a muffled voice. He allowed her to vent her anger and hugged her tightly.

It wasn't until both of them gradually calmed down that an almost inaudible voice rang out, "I'm sorry." The two heavy words carried endless bitterness and emotions. His sexy Adam's apple rolled, but Elijah failed to find his voice as he forced back the tears in his eyes, bit by bit.

The matter itself was cruel enough, but it was indeed an unfavorable timing for it to happen at such a time. By the time he calmed down, Elijah had regained his rationality.
