Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"These women are so shameless!" she thought, "Why are they pestering him? Why do they keep bothering him?

Trevor's arrogant posture suggested that he was still his typical majestic self. Selena was furious upon seeing this. "Those vixens must have seduced him!" She thought.

And this d*mn woman!

Victoria didn't seem like she liked him at all, yet there she was, enjoying the privileges and benefits of being "Mrs. Clements"! Selena had never seen such blatant behaviours, yet Victoria wasn't bothered by her flagrant actions at all! These women loved Trevor for his money but not Trevor himself! They were all unfit for someone like him!

B*tch!

They only knew how to seduce him with their bodies!

Gross!

D*mn it! That was the one thing she couldn't do! Even if she was willing, he still wouldn't touch her!

In the end, they were distant relatives! The blood they shared hindered their romantic relationship from budding!

Incest was the norm in the past, yet as the world progressed into this modern era, it had become a taboo! It was all her mother's fault! Her mother should've just said she was adopted! Selena didn't understand why her mother even gave birth to her. She was never treated like her child anyways. While other children grew up with love and affection from their families, she grew up alone and was despised by society. She had nothing in this world!

With her hands clenched into fists, Selena loathed everything. "Why?" She tried asking herself, "Why is he treating her so kindly? Is he really in love with this woman?"

"No," she decided, "He wouldn't!"

He claimed to "liked" Caramel too, yet after a mere six months, he gave up on her for

Victoria, didn't he?

That's it. Trevor must be confused! But it would be temporary.

A youngblood who had gotten obsessed, a youngblood who had strayed from the path, she understood! The ending would be the same as last time. Eventually, he would wake up from his unrealistic dream! However, this time, she was wrong-

Selena invited Victoria out to provoke her. Selena wanted to make her feel insecure so she would cause herself trouble. Selena even handpicked the place and time where the sun shone brightly but not too fiercely. If she suffered any losses, she would go to Trevor and tell him about it. She would tell him about the injustice she experienced while trying to explain the matter on his behalf. Then, he would be grateful for her. It was supposed to be like killing two birds with one stone.

What she didn't expect was for Victoria to be so indifferent about the situation. Victoria didn't seem to buy her words. It was as if Victoria didn't care at all. Selena also didn't anticipate Trevor's appearance. Nothing went as planned, so she panicked while making her next move. She didn't take too much consideration while jumping, but again, Victoria managed to surprise her. Selena never foresaw Victoria jumping with her. She still couldn't believe Trevor ran towards Victoria that day. She still couldn't digest the fact that Trevor chose Victoria over her.

Uneasiness occupied her heart once more. Selena collapsed on the sofa as her head started aching. With some tea in hand, Nina Sherman took a glance at the crushed newspapers on the floor before approaching Selena, "Miss Duff, you've just returned from the hospital. Your health is more important than anything, so why don't you have some black tea to steady your nerves?"

And also extinguish the fires of rage in her!

Nina was careful not to enrage Selena. Thus, she quickly brought up another topic to divert her attention. "Miss Duff, when we were returning from the hospital, did you notice a couple passing by us? The woman looked pretty grumpy as she held a child's hand, while the man chased after them, offering to take care of the child. Sadly, his generous offers were rejected."

"What's the problem with that?" Selena couldn't recall the memory at all. She didn't understand why Nina suddenly brought up the topic.

"It reminded Ime of a popular topic! People used to say that if you want to know the depth of a man's love towards his wife, ask him who he'd save if both his wife and his mother fell into the river at the same time! There's no perfect solution to this question. The person you choose means more to you than the other. Some men choose to save their mothers, while others choose their wives. Smarter ones would say they'd choose the person physically closest to them, but none of it matters in the end. Their answers differ, but the question itself is a headache for men, and it is saddening as well! At first, I thought these types of questions were only asked for fun, but do you know? The couple that passed by us experienced it in real life, that man really had to make a choice."

Nina had successfully attracted Selena's attention.

"From what I've heard, the couple used to love each other very much. They had two kids, and even though they were quite poor, their love was strong. They've been together for at least a decade!" Nina continued, "However, about a year ago, their village experienced heavy rainfall for days. The village eventually got washed away by the water, and their house even collapsed due to pressure. As a result, both the man's mother and wife got thrown into the water, but this man chose to prioritize his mother over his wife. Luckily, someone else saved his wife later, but after that day, his wife had never spoken to him again. They were still legally married, but she took the children and moved out. Despite the man's efforts to explain, his stone-hearted wife had yet to forgive him. They had been in a deadlock ever since." "Frankly, I think the woman is really silly. Her husband truly cares about her more-"

"If I were her, I wouldn't forgive him too," Selena thought. However, she froze upon hearing Nina's differing opinion.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"I didn't understand his actions until last night. I overheard him whining about the situation to someone and finally understood his intentions!"

Nina turned around and looked at Selena with a dead serious look.

"Because he cared about her more,

he chose to save his mother first. His mother was old and fragile, so she might not be able to hold on for long if compared to his wife. If he had chosen to save his wife first, his mother may not have made it, and he would be guilt-ridden for the rest of his life. It wouldn't matter if she was saved, because both of them would have to bear the weight of remorse caused by his mother's

death. In the end, their marriage net

would not continue for long

ver

anyways. If he saved his mother first, then his wife, he would be able to live a happy life with her because they won't be burdened by any feelings of guilt. Even if he couldn't save her in the end, he would be willing to drown in the tides with her! He must've truly loved her to be willing to die with her. He didn't choose her because he cared about her more. In his eyes, they were not two people, but one. He thought he didn't need to explain himself, he thought she would've understood his actions! Of course, he was wrong. His wife didn't understand him at all. He still loves her though. He would sell his blood for her. Unfortunately, they still separated due to the incident. The person he was venting to must've been some expert. He analyzed the whole situation and concluded that even though the man was true and sincere, the couple just didn't think alike. It was heartbreaking. The person even made a prediction, saying that the man would never reconcile with his wife-"

"Miss Duff, what do you think? This must be some kind of joke! They were so happy together. The man was so poor, yet his wife had been by his side for so long. Even if they were reluctant at first, after a whole decade, they must've developed some care and affection for each other. How could he not love his wife?" "Who do you think is the real fool? The husband or the wife? If they had been more educated, who they have clicked better with one another?"

Selena was initially perplexed. After hearing Nina's words, she suddenly seemed enlighted. The whole thing seemed to make sense now that she had seen it from the man's perspective.

"Maybe Trevor had a similar intention in mind when he abandoned me for Victoria?" Selena couldn't stop herself from thinking.

Perhaps he thought that both of them were close enough to understand each other. Maybe he decided to save that woman first because he trusted her to understand his actions? Maybe he did what he did because he didn't want to be in debt with the Atlas Family for the rest of his life? After all, she was his. Even if she detested him, he believed that she would never doubt his actions!

Indeed, since childhood, no woman could be compared with her.

What would this incident prove this time?

Not to mention that she had Nina by her side at that time.

Selena had initially planned on giving up. She didn't expect to be so easily led on by Nina. However, she was immensely grateful for Nina's story.

"Nina, thank you so much!"

"Huh?"

Nina exclaimed and pretended to be surprised, "Why are you thanking me? Did I do something?" Selena gave her a light smile and didn't care to explain further. Instead, she ordered, "Help me prepare some dessert! I erred, so I should at least do something to make up for it!"

"Oh, okay! Miss Duff, are egg tarts fine?"

"Yes! Make as many as you can! And try to make different flavored ones! Oh, but make more yogurt flavored ones, he likes those most!"

"Alright!"

Nina pretended to be oblivious to the situation as she went out to prepare the desserts.

Meanwhile, at the entertainment company, the news about Trevor and Victoria had caused a slight uproar. People gossiped about it while they can, even while eating.

"Everyone says that the CEO is a playboy, it's a surprise that he adores his wife so much. He even brought her to work, didn't he? Didn't they go on a honeymoon? They're too sweet."

"That's why you should never judge a book by its cover! I really envy them! Madam Victoria is ravishing too! Her beauty is no less than most popular idols!"

"In the end, it may just be a show!

Weren't there rumors encircling Mr. Clements and Elaine Benett too? Now Elaine has hit rock bottom in her career! Men just want something new and fresh! Or maybe she's an undercover spy who's just keeping an eye on our company's progress? We do have pretty talented idols!" "I don't think so! How many women can attract Mr. Clements' attention? Did Madam Victoria come over today? I don't think so. I saw Mr. Clements leaving alone! It's just some temporary stuff to cause a buzz!"

"That's possible too~ Nonetheless,

Madam Victoria does have a pretty body, doesn't she? With a body like hers, of course she could attract Mr. Clement's attention! I didn't know he was into that kind of clothing style, what do you call it? It seems like the type of clothes secretaries wear, can it be considered a uniform? I thought the CEO liked the type of clothes idols wear. Pure, innocent, but also exposing a little something here and there!"

"Not everyone can get onto Mr. Clements' bed! Have you seen the news? A mistress gave birth to two

kids, and the man was forced to divorce his wife because of it!"

As the men discussed the matter enthusiastically, a beautiful woman with some documents in her hand

looked at herself through the black-framed glasses that sat on her nose.noveldrama

"Is this the style Mr. Clements is interested

in?" She wondered.
