Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Stop beating around the bush! You're trying to imply that I'm the one she hates the most, aren't you?"

Trevor veered closer to Holger before he averted his eyes towards the brocade box on the table, "It doesn't matter. She despises me anyway, so it can't possibly get any worse than this!"

"Haha..."

Holger chuckled before he restrained his expressions and continued speaking.

"Trevor, hiding won't solve this problem! Ignoring the truth that you've been suppressing in your heart will only make things worse! Who knows, it might even backfire on yourself. You should know this better than I do..."

For the first time, he saw a depressed Trevor who was head over heels for a woman. Since when did Victoria sneak into his heart? Moreover, since when did Trevor catch feelings for her?!

"Does Trevor not realize that he's been acting weird ever since he ran into her?" Holger pondered.

If it wasn't for the last business trip and the recent incident, maybe he wouldn't have made such an impetuous decision on agreeing to this marriage. "Holger..."

As soon as Holger spoke again, an obvious frown appeared on Trevor's face. A clear sense of entanglement was evident at the bottom of his eyes. "Trevor, have you been truly happy for the past few years? Despite the fact that you've chosen to remain unmarried for the rest of your life, yet you were still blindly attracted to Miss Atlas!"

With a message sown in his words, Holger averted his eyes towards him, "Whether he likes it or not, Trevor has to be responsible for his own flesh and blood!"

Otherwise, the outcome would be gruesome!

At this moment, Trevor had no other choice than to restrain his own desires!

"No one could rub salt on the wound more than you do!" Holger constantly brought up issues that shouldn't be mentioned. Victoria was indeed one of a kind, thus Trevor had taken an interest in her recently.

"How would one remember the pain if they haven't gone through it? Trevor, please don't make the same mistake that Master Frederick did. Not everyone is lucky enough to be reunited and married with their allegedly dead wife! Anyone can disappear from your life in the blink of an eye..." Holger was well- aware of Trevor's boundaries. Once he was done speaking, he slowly stepped out of the office with the documents in his hand. As soon as the door closed, Trevor's eyes once again fell upon the brocade box that he held in his hands. In the box was a delicate diamond necklace. Below its platinum chain laid three inverted tulips that were embedded with pink diamonds.

As he looked at the necklace, flashbacks of the room filled with tulips surged through his mind. At that moment, he presumed that Victoria adored pink tulips very much!

He was determined to obtain this necklace the minute he saw it in the auction!

Previously, he actually wanted to surprise her with this necklace as a gift...

It was a shame that the day ended with a feud between the both of them. At that point, he completely forgot about his initial intention of giving her the necklace.

Never in his entire life was he this affectionate towards a woman.

The diamond necklace cost eighty million dollars!

Yet, it was a gift to Victoria who wasn't even his girlfriend...

Trevor subconsciously caressed the necklace as a wave of confusion flashed across his eyes again. For the first time, he was completely captivated by a woman's charm!

In the office, he was inexplicably gloomy for the rest of the day.

As the night fell, he received a call from Willy, "East Bannpool?"

He wasn't interested at all!

Before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a tease from the other end.

"What's with the attitude? You don't

el

met

sound like the Master Trevor that I know at all! Don't tell me that you're too occupied even for a drink! You've already blown me off so many times, aren't you planning to treat me since you're back now? Anyways, there's a new beauty in East Bannpool who's dubbed the second Misty Swift. I also heard that they're having some event tonight just to prove that they weren't bragging about it! If I'm not wrong, it's about some first kiss giveaway or something..."

"Don't you want to join in the fun?"

Misty? Wasn't she his sister-in-law? Even though Trevor had yet to meet the magnificent Misty, he already heard a great deal of gossip about her ever since his return.

These gossip were mostly heard from his precious little sister. She would call him and chat with him for more than half an hour. Moreover, she also wanted him to bring her to the Heaven Star Clubhouse for some fun!

Surprisingly, his little sister was a bold lady; she wasn't afraid of anything at all! However, there was one particular person in the Clements family whom she feared the most, and that was Frederick!

Thus, she didn't have the guts to approach him even though she was desperate to meet her sister-in-law!

As a matter of fact, the Clements family was filled with guys! Therefore, both Caroline and Hallie were pampered since young as they were the only girls in the family! Frederick, who was once distant from his uncle, had recently opened up to him for his own reasons.

Caroline, on the other hand, was

mischievous as a child. Once upon a time, she was frightened to tears by Frederick's rear and his cold- blooded expression when she threw a tantrum with the puppy in her arms, She even stood under the tree

อน

for an hour as a punishment for her behavior. It was probably summer at that time as there were many insects around the tree.

Unknowingly, a caterpillar had

crawled onto her body and she was

petrified to the point where she continuously wailed for the entire day.

Since then, she was terrified of Frederick. Although she was a cheerful lady who would laugh whenever her siblings were talking, but whenever it came to him, her lips were sealed tight and not a word would be uttered by her.

In reality, Frederick actually cared deeply for her, especially since their relationship with Hallie wasn't the best. Moreover, there wasn't a single moment in their entire lives where they received anything lesser than one another!

He simply didn't know how to express his feelings with his words. If it wasn't for the previous incident that caused Caroline's trauma, the outcome would've definitely been different. She would've bonded well with Alicia due to her extroverted traits!

As thoughts raced through his mind, Trevor nodded and said, "Fine, I'll be over in a minute!"

As dusk settled in, Victoria was still slammed with work in the studio. It wasn't until the last stitch that she realized her stomach was growling in hunger.

Gazing at the last finalized gown that was hanging on the clothing rack, she took off her apron with a satisfied smile. At that moment, she quickly groomed herself before she donned the gown.

"Everything is finally done!"

Stretching her body, she grabbed her notebook and checked the entries before she added a few more notes under the list, "Missing a head feather accessory! The necklace needs some modifications, earrings... it lacks two flowers!"

It was a reminder for her to add them in the next day.

After a brief clean-up, she then closed the studio's door and headed back to her office. As she was about to leave, she was taken aback by the notification that popped up on her phone.

"What the hell?! Is he seriously trying to screw me over now?"

She cussed with a low voice and she instantly made a phone call,

"Director Vives, what on Earth did you do? My exhibition is just around the corner and you're only telling me that the model can't make it now! What about all the finalized dresses.

How am I supposed toet

find a model that is the exact size as

the previous one at a time like this?! I don't care what it takes, you better find me a replacement within two days!" "What are you talking about? A model... Do you mean Lisa? She suffered a burn injury on her thigh, so she can't walk at all..." Director Vives muttered.

Victoria was already losing her mind the minute she answered the call, yet his frantic voice and the pacing noises on the other end only made things

worse. In an instant, she immediately yelled, "What are you talking about?!"

"Could you speak up, where are you now? Alright, alright! Tell me where you are and I'll head over immediately!"

She instantly hung up the phone in anger and swiftly texted him after the call. Fortunately, she received a prompt reply from him,

D*mn it, that explains a lot!

Her heart was fuming in anger as she grabbed her car keys, "Ugh, why has my luck been so bad these few days? Not a single thing went smoothly

for me!"
