Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

It was not the first time that Penny met her. How could she have mistaken Alicia for Danica? Was it because of her hair or her dress? When Alicia first entered, did Penny not see her?

How could she have taken Alicia for that woman? Alicia wondered.

Did she do it on purpose? What was the motive behind it? Was she trying to separate Alicia and Frederick so that Danica could come in between them? There was no need for that, right? Penny and Frederick weren't that close! Moreover, wasn't a poor girl like Alicia more suitable for Frederick? If he were to marry a rich girl with status, wouldn't she pose a threat to Penny?

Then, the only explanation would be that Penny had made a mistake. Her tone didn’t sound intentional at all! However, Alicia had only changed her hairstylethat day. Could it be that this style of dressing up really was that woman's favorite style?

As Alicia touched her own hair, she regretted her choice. If she had known that this would happen, she wouldn't have straightened her hair! It only caused her troubles.

As she turned to leave, she suddenly thought of the crazy woman's words.

"Didn't you like Danica? Look clearly, she's not Danica! She's a fake sI*t!"

"You are so despicable and shameless! Do you think that if you dress like her and destroy others’ relationships... you'd be happy?” Alicia stopped in her tracks and turned around. She looked at her own reflection. Copied her style? Despicable? A sI*t? An imposter? Did Alicia really look so much like Danica?

Was that why the woman claimed that Alicia was an imposter, a fake?

That woman was clearly not crazy, her target was obviously Alicia! If she really was crazy, how could she have clearly called out names and even said all these?

She must've known Danica and even knew about Danica and Frederick's past! It wasn't because she had been triggered, she was aiming for Alicia! In other words, a crazy person’s words were the most reliable because those are the clearest things left in their minds!

"Did Frederick choose to be with me because I resemble Danica back then? Was that why before she returned, he had so many complaints about me because he was still clinging onto that girl? However, after Danica’s return, she had changed her looks, therefore his fantasies were broken! Was he projecting his feelings for Danica onto me? All he likes is my appearance, isn't it? Moreover, I'm someone else's replacement! Was that why he ordered a pure white gown that she would've liked?" Alicia thought to herself.

In an instant, she felt uncomfortable and upset.

"Was he thinking about Danica every time he hugged me? What if one day Danica recovered her old appearance? Would I be abandoned again?” Alicia’s thought was in a mess.

As Alicia looked at her own reflection, she tried to recall what Danica looked like at the moment. As she finally remembered, she realized that Danica must've gotten too skinny that she didn't look like how she did before.

Didn't everyone claim that weight loss was the best makeover? It was extremely hard to lose weight but it was fairly easy to gain weight.

Could it be that all the gentleness and concern that Frederick had shown her all this while was because he had taken her for Danica? After he lost Danica, he was taking Alicia as a replacement or a temporary replacement. Could that be true?

This feeling was terrible! She would rather have Frederick disliking her for her than him taking her for someone else's replacement. Alicia made up her mind and decided to give it a try. After all, she didn't want to lose a great relationship because of her own doubt.

Even if this relationship ended as a beautiful journey or just a passing memory, she wanted ail of it to belong to herself, Alicia Blanchard. She didn't want to lie to herself and find out that in the end, everything was just a lie!

Alicia combed her hair and put on some perfunte. She chose a simple and elegant white doll-like nightdregs> In fact, she actually liked this style and would normally wear it. However, as of now, Alicia picked thenightdress because of her hair ard because she had guessed that it was what Danica would've picked.

As per usual, the both of them started making love not long after getting in bed

Usually, it was just something that was normal for both of them. When they were feeling it. neither of them would resist. That night, Frederick was as passionate as ever but Alicia didn’t feel anything at all.

It was because she would usually match his energy and could never accurately grasp just how passionate Frederick was in bed. However, she had finally noticed it this time and thought that he was going overboard.

In the past, sne might've been really delighted. Afterall, this meant that she was attractive to him. However, as she were the hairstyle that did < not su it Her, she grew distracted.> She immediately came to the_*’ conétusion that all of his passio was because of how she lodked that day. His partner was not‘Actually Alicia but Danica.

_)

She had totally forgotten that the feeling of something new and something different to stimulate one's vision would indeed excite one. Even if they were to change places, they would still be as passionate.

That day, as if she had walked into a dead end. Alicia couldn't escape at all.

The atmosphere was just right but Alicia suddenly became cold. Frederick naturally felt it and although he was desperate, he still stopped. "What's wrong?”

Alicia didn't know how to express herself and just shook her head. "Hubby, I am sorry, I might've been frightened today and I'm a little...”

She knew that she was killing the mood but she subconsciously frowned. She wondered to herself if she should just endure it for the night, therefore she took the initiative and hooked her arm around Frederick's neck.

"Let me try again.”

Frederick lowered his head and smiled, then 1 bie kissed her on her forehead. Hé then stopped and said, “Don't besiliy, this is something that the botof us should do only ifthe bothor us feel it. How could Lforce yout you don't want to? Weill just wait for the next time yousfeel it! I'll go take a shower." Content be ongs

After all, he was already excited. In the end, he thoughtfully suppressed himself and entered the bathroom. Listening to the running water, Alicia bit her lip in regret. She didn’t want to reject him but for some reason, she just couldn't get in the mood anymore.

She was actually really moved because he had gotten hurt for her while he was protecting her: because he had announced her officially as his wife. Maybe it was only because he had been overly angry but she still felt protected and acknowledged!

As soon as Frederick came out, Alicia hugged him apologetically. "Hubby-"

"Yes?"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

After a long moment, Alicia swallowed the words down as she looked up at Frederick's handsome face under the dim light

What if she had exposed the truth? If it really were true, would she immediately lose Frederick and this warm embrace?

After falling silent for a while, Alicia murmured, “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight!”

Frederick stroked her hair and tightened his arms, his low voice sleepy. But for so long, Alicia, who was curled up in his arms, couldn't sleep at all. Was she just a substitute? Did it even matter if she was?

For the entire night. she was troubled

She even thought of Lindsay. Lindsay must have been happy too during that year when her relationship got so much better.
