Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Even though they had cooperated for many years and she was even his mistress, that didn't change the fact that they had differing opinions. Hazel had never been directly involved with the formula before. Later on, she came up with an idea to get the formula. In order to stop that from happening, Danny not only made two copies of the modified formula but also developed two different kinds of drug mixtures. You have to admit that he's a genius, even though he was just a poor doctor. Unfortunately, he didn't use his intelligence where it mattered. Hazel had just sent people to get the two formulas, and she didn't expect that something would happen. Her subordinate was called Steven, or something like that. He managed to get half of the formula but was unable to return. When he was finally able to make his way back, he died on the way there. We followed that lead to find a breakthrough! To put it bluntly, this whole tragedy started because of a trivial family conflict. Sigh! Who would have thought that a regular man who wouldn't even catch your eye on the street and had been working as a doctor for more than a decade would be the ringleader of a drug syndicate... They've developed quite a lot over the past few years. They were able to partner up with all kinds of people. We're really glad that we were able to capture a huge drug lord in one fell swoop."

"So that's what happened..." Trevor murmured.

No wonder the drug formula had suddenly appeared in Casterwich City. Presumably, they had planned to break into the market in Casterwich City and make a lot of money. Unexpectedly, there was a mistake with their plan, and the formula ended up getting leaked before they could execute their plan. He himself had picked up a copy and ended up getting himself involved in a whole lot of trouble. The other half of the formula was likely in the hands of 'Steven', who was probably Stefan, the person they had been looking for. Once he was backed into a corner, he decided to give the formula to a random stranger that caught his eye for safekeeping. Coincidentally, the beautiful Waverly happened to get roped into

it."

Everything was clear right then. It turned out that they were part of a mob. No wonder they ended up getting defeated by him.

Even Hazel, who was so cruel and merciless, ended up suffering her downfall at the hands of those around her. Sure enough, it wasn't one's opponent that should be feared, but one's own comrades.

Meanwhile, Victoria had gone to meet Anthony. For a long time, the two did not speak to each other.

After what seemed like a century had passed, Victoria said, "Are you okay? Being able to recognize your mistakes can make a huge difference. Three years is not a long time. As long as you seriously repent, cooperate, and strive to reduce your sentence, you might even get out earlier!"

"Did you come here to tell me this?" he asked.

A moment later, Victoria gave her reply.

"Thank you. I wanted to tell you that personally. You saved me more than once, and I owe you my gratitude. You were the one who kidnapped me and put me in that garage, but you were the one who helped me in the end, right?"

Even when he stabbed Trevor with a knife, he had chosen somewhere that wouldn't hurt as much. Victoria was grateful that he could make that choice at a time like that.

Despite her inquisitive tone, Victoria's words were full of certainty. Although he had been purposely trying to hide it, it seemed to be the truth right then.

"There's no need to thank me. I was the one who caused you all this hurt and these accidents." He was the one who had started it, so it was only right that he protect her.

They looked at each other, and Anthony's gaze was very calm, which was rare. If not for the fact that they had tried to hurt her, he might have still been stuck in that organization.

They had tried to get her involved, and she ended up being the one who helped him snap back to reality. On the contrary, he was the one who should be thanking Victoria.

Her eyes narrowed. She was shocked, but then she seemed to have caught onto something. "Was it because of Hazel? The two of you..."

They were quite a few years apart in age. How could he fall in love with a woman who was so much older than him, not to mention her appearance? Victoria did not understand.

She vaguely remembered that she had seen him with different women on more than one occasion. Why had he ended up choosing Hazel? Was it because of drugs or money?

A lot of questions flashed through her mind. At that moment, she didn't know what

to say. As if Anthony could read her mind, he directly spoke up.

"She was the one who first showed interest in me."noveldrama

Anthony sighed and gently closed his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Do you know why I chose to be with her?"

"Did she get you addicted to drugs?"

"You could say that."

He slowly opened his eyes and continued explaining.

"Why would I have stayed with her if that wasn't the case? Drugs are truly horrifying, though. Even if you have a strong will, once you try it, you can forget about it! I overestimated myself a little, but I didn't regret it at the beginning. She fell in love with me, and I chose her. I wanted money, and I wanted to make

money as quickly as possible. I wanted to rival Trevor's financial power."

That one sentence nearly sent Victoria's eyeballs popping out of her sockets.

Didn't that mean he wanted to...

"That's right. The reason why I

stayed with her was to get back together with you someday. I wanted to get back what I lost my true love. That was why I could do the thing I hated the most and get involved with the type of people I hated the most. I was able to give up everything and even become a boy toy for such a lowly purpose. Every day, I felt so disgusted that I wanted to vomit, but no matter how much I hated it, I still had to act gently. I need her to hurry up and give me money. God is too biased toward Trevor. I worked hard for so many years, but I still couldn't compare to him. He took you away, monopolized you, and finally even stole your heart. I couldn't accept it! He would do anything for you, so I had to do the same. I've given up on you, but my love for you is real," he explained.

"Why are you so silly, Anthony? No matter what, I'm still just a woman in the end. Was it really worth doing all that for me? If I have a relationship with you, Did you risk your life just to get back at Trevor? I do hate you, but it's true that I used to love you. There's no way I could grow to hate you if I never loved you, right? But, Anthony, fate comes and goes. It's just that we weren't destined to be together. The past can't be changed. I also wanted to get revenge against Trevor, but in the end, even I didn't know why. Hatred isn't the only thing that matters in life. I understand now that some of my mistakes can't be changed. The only way to free yourself is to forgive yourself and others. Even if everything went the way you wanted, and you were able to defeat Trevor, get me back, and become the richest man in the world, would you really be able to make me happy for the rest of your life when you're involved in something like that? In the end, you would just abandon and hurt me again. What's the point in trying to get all of it back? Why are you so silly?"

Victoria was so angry that she did not know what to say. In an instant, she also understood why he said that he was the one who had caused all those accidents.

Presumably, Hazel had gotten jealous and targeted her.

In an instant, Anthony fell silent.

"That's why I regret it. I let loose for a moment, and then I couldn't get free. Fortunately, it's all over. Thankfully, you're fine! That's why you don't have to thank me. You don't owe me anything. I'm at peace now. After two years, I can finally have a good sleep without any nightmares. You were the one who helped me with all of that."
