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?

"Don't you like "Gracie"? Why are you putting so much effort into Kim Mi-chi? I came all the way to find you. Why did you let go of my hand in front of the nightclub? Why did you distance yourself from me and cut off all ties instead of declaring that I was your woman or companion? You planned it a long time ago, didn't you? You did it on purpose! You were going to push me to that man from the beginning, weren't you? Is he interested in me or are you using me as an exchange for Kim Mi-chi?"

Elijah shook his head in response to Carolien's threatening words. "No! No!"

He had indeed thought of the plan, but she wasn't the target. She had happened to barge in as a coincidence. When the indifferent Kwon Yu-jeu spoke out of nowhere, he instinctively realized that Kwon Yu-jeu was interested in Carolien. Although he was dissatisfied with the situation back then, he had to admit that her sudden appearance solved the biggest problem that had been bugging his mind. Back then, he had a backup plan to keep her safe, but at the same time, she could no longer be hidden and was exposed as prey.

Since she was being noticed, it would be tougher for him to reject Kwon Yu-jeu's demand by announcing that Carolien was his woman. When it came to a man like Kwon Yu-jeu, he should never dream of gaining his understanding or try reasoning with him.

"Why would I exchange you for Kim Mi-chi?" It was true that he felt guilty for Kim Mi-chi, but to him, no woman was more important than her!

Elijah's instinctive response was to go along with the question and argue. In addition to the fact that he was a little anxious and sucked at words, he was not as eloquent as Carolien. Before he could react, her voice continued to bombard him.

"It's because she has the face of someone else! Why don't you call me "Grace" again? Isn't it becausez the Gracle you love, who's alive and sound is standing in front of you? Go on and tell me that you're doing all this for me! Don't tell me that your don't know what it means to have a woman entertain a man. You know it's dangerous, but you insist on pushing me into despair. Throughout all this, have you ever cared about my feelings? A husband and wife are to devote themselves to each other for the rest of their lives, but what am I? Have you ever thought about the possibility that I might not be able to move, if something happens to me, or if I am attacked by a group of men? Twenty minutes, ha! Not to mention twenty minutes, ten minutes is enough for me to die several times over!"

Elijah's mind buzzed as he couldn't help staggering. His face turned pale in an

instant. She knew, she indeed knew!

Gracie Stone!

How did she know?

Yet obviously, all of it was no longer important at the moment.

After all, he had always wanted to keep it a secret. He had tried his best to get rid

of the nightmare that bothered him, just for fear that she might learn about everything, but she still did in the end!

His lips trembled. Those two words lingered on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't utter a single word. Yet, he could still involuntarily shake his head.

It was true that he had once had such an idea, but it was nipped in the bud!

He didn't!

Right then as she was required to join the mission, it was all an accident. It was true that he was in such a hurry to resolve the issue for her sake, else he could not have missed out on her birthday just to deal with it through days and nights, not being able to put some time aside in keeping her company!

He knew very well that the sooner he settled the issue, the safer she would be. Everything else no longer mattered!

As their fight went on, Carolien grew increasingly agitated. In a rage, she pointed at the door and bellowed, "You, get out!"

She would be returning home the next day, so how did all the mess have anything

to do with her? She couldn't care less about who wanted to get involved. She was miserable enough, so how could it be that she had to show pity for others?!

Of course, even if she didn't read the

news or pay attention to the filthiness of the industry, she knew about several major events

happened in succession

in

Could

she not know especially when there was a surge of Korean trends in the country? The more she knew about it, the more she hated him as she couldn't help thinking about how unworried he was of her finding herself in danger. No matter how wretched she might be, she wasn't a prostitute who would serve any man. Even if she was, she might be doing it for money, so why should she compromise for Elijah then?

To risk her life for him?

Bah! Dream on!

At that moment, Carolien cursed him in her heart thousands of times over.

The meaning of her action and sentence was self-evident. She would not agree to

it!

His mind was a mess. After being driven out by her, Elijah's mind lost all control. Before he could even react, she gave him another hard push.

"I told you to get lost!"

In the next second, he grabbed Carolien's shoulder and begged, "Carolien, I beg you. This isn't anything to be trifled with!"noveldrama

Since they came to that point, there mustn't be any alterations! There wouldn't be another similar chance again!

"I won't let anything happen to you. As long as you do as I say, I promise!"

Elijah was starting to grow equally anxious. In the next second, there was a clear

slap...
