Alicia woke up and worked on her eyes, her sleep slightly disturbed by the sunlight peeking through the curtains of her room.Alicia tried to lift her hand, but something was bothering her, and making it a little difficult. 'Why is it so hard to move my arm? Wait a minute...What is this? An IV? Where am I?' Alicia muttered to herself.Alicia looked around the room which was white in color, and she knew for sure this wasn't her room, so where was she?Alicia was trying to get up from her bed when...Krek!The sound of a door opening forced Alicia to look for the origin of the sound and turn her head to see someone with an equally surprised face running towards her and placing a white bag next to a small cupboard not far from Alicia."Aly! What are you trying to do? Don't do that! You're still too weak! Do you want to lean back? Let me help you!" she said as she helped Alicia put a large pillow on her back and tried to help Alicia lean against the bedpost where the pillow had been place
After being given a sedative injection, Alicia slept for a long time. It wasn't until the sun started to set that she woke up.Alicia woke up and stared intently at the ceiling of the hospital room, which she had not realized for some time.Alicia didn't speak, her face looked pale because she didn't want to touch her food at all, her body was weak and a little thin. Alicia also didn't move at all, her body was frozen, her gaze was blank, her gaze only fixed on one point, the roof of her hospital room. Her spirit now seemed to have been uprooted and detached from her body.Alicia was like a living corpse.Lylyan, who saw her best friend's condition, kept crying and holding Alicia's hand while continuing to persuade her."Aly...let's eat? Your body is getting weaker...don't be like this Aly...hikhik...everything..will be fine! You still have me...your best friend! Lylyan! Hik Hik Hik!" Lylyan said with tears in her eyes as she persuaded Alicia to eat for almost an hour, but Alicia di
Alicia staggered, she didn't know where to go, she couldn't afford to go to the hospital because she wouldn't be able to face Lylyan who had helped her out secretly from the hospital in order to meet Adrian but it was all in vain! Adrian Disappeared! Adrian was gone! It was possible that Adrian had run away! Avoiding himself and never wanting to see him again!Alicia still remembered what Brian had said a few minutes ago when he had contacted her after failing to meet Adrian at his apartment. Actually, Alicia had called almost all of Adrian's friends that she knew but no one picked up except Brian!Flashback a few minutes ago."Hello? Aly? Is that you? Is it really you? Are you okay, Aly?" came Brian's voice from the other side.Alicia froze in her tracks.Then there was Brian's sigh."Look Aly, I know everything that happened! But I swear! I didn't know anything about that picture! I also don't know who took the photo and sent it to the Rector so that they could terminate your schola
The taxi that Alicia was traveling in stopped in front of a club that was not too crowded, usually the club would get busier as it approached midnight and into the morning. It was around 10-11pm. But Alicia went there at 8:00pm.Alicia remembered that she had been forced to work there because it was a job that paid a lot of money and it was a job that lasted from late afternoon or evening until early morning. Alicia could only work at night because she still had to go to university in the morning or afternoon. That's why she immediately applied when the place needed a waitress.This is where she met Lylyan, who was on the same campus as her.Although the club was a place with a bad connotation, and many men were looking for innocent girls like her. But Alicia had been able to take care of herself. Moreover, Alicia had learnt a little martial arts since she was in junior high school. So you could say that Alicia could take care of herself quite well.Alicia got out of the taxi by handi
"I SAID STOP! Aly, stop this madness! Put that expensive bottle back! And tell me what you want!" Someone spoke again from behind Alicia's body.Alicia jerked her head back and it was then that her arms were bent backwards by the two club security guards!"Ow! It hurts! Mr Bennett! Give me a chance to talk, please...after that I'll leave! I promise!" The restrained Alicia tried to maintain her position as she was dragged to the door with all her might.Mr Richard Bennett who saw her then spoke coldly! "Let her go!"Alicia's innocence was released as she tried to massage her sore wrists."Hurry up Aly! Don't take my time! Say what you have to say! I don't have much time! The crowds are starting to come in! I have to run the business, which was in trouble because of your news! I have to support the people here! Quick, tell me!" said Mr Bennett, crossing his arms over his chest.Alicia slowly walked up to Mr. Bennett, "First of all, I apologize for what happened earlier, I'm sorry if it
Alicia staggered through the streets of Princess Of Bridge, Melbourne, Victoria. Alicia stopped to stare at the Yarra River, near a pillar. Her chest feeling tight, Alicia clung to the side of the beautiful Princess Of Bridge."What am I supposed to do, my God...why do I have to suffer this fate? What did I do wrong? I was betrayed by someone I thought loved me, humiliated me in front of everyone on campus, then I was accused of stealing which led to a night in jail, and I was dishonorably expelled from the university! My scholarship was revoked! My aunt was sick, and I didn't even have a cent to go back to my hometown to take her to the doctor! I was expelled from the club where I worked! I thought..I thought Tuaan Bennett would lend me some money as usual, so I could go back! And what made me hate myself was...I was pregnant! Adrian ran away! It feels like I'm trapped in a small passage and can't get out! What if Aunty finds out that I'm expelled from college and...pregnant? She'll
The same confusion was also experienced by Alicia who continued to stare at the roll of money in her hand."Is Mr Bennett lying? But for what?" While Alicia was still confused someone shouted."Hey! Don't do that!" The shocked Alicia accidentally threw the money into the river and her one hand slipped out. So Alicia...."Akhhh!"Alicia was shocked and so was the person who shouted earlier.Alicia had already given up and was about to slide into the river when a large, sturdy hand tried to grab her."Come on! Climb up! I'll help!" exclaimed a handsome man who was quite mature but still looked very handsome and manly. His jaw was solidly covered with a lot of hair but not thick but not thin either. His lips were quite a bit thick with a thin mustache shaved off but still leaving traces that looked messy but also macho and sexy. He had straight hair pulled back with turquoise eyes and sports-style training clothes that seemed to be quite expensive. It's certain that he's no ordinary pe
Alicia was a little sleepy and her eyes were heavy, she woke up and looked around.A very large room, grey in colour. Alicia couldn't remember where this was, but she remembered the last incident vaguely. 'Wasn't I last on a yacht? And was helped by a crazy man who thought I was suicidal? So where is this? Why is it so big? And so many luxurious things?'Alicia heard the sound of footsteps stepping into her room, Alicia closed her eyes again pretending she was still unconscious."Sir, why did you help and bring that stubborn girl here, sir? Why didn't you go to the hospital? Isn't it safer and more manageable than this kind of trouble? And how come you're willing to help so hard, to call in your private helicopter and yacht just to help a little girl you don't know?" said a man who seemed to be a little older.A man who seemed to have just put a mobile phone into his trouser pocket turned his head."I don't know, didn't you see her face? Her face... looks... like... like..." the man
Alicia who realised someone was about to enter Aaron's ward, like an alarm in her head, with full force pushed Adrian away from her.The shocked Adrian, who had not expected Alicia's action, automatically fell off the large sofa they had been sitting on and fell a few steps on the cold hospital floor.Adrian was angry and widened his eyes, and suddenly shouted angrily."WHAT? What are you doing?" Adrian shouted.Before Alicia could answer, someone suddenly appeared wearing white clothes."Sorry. Excuse me, Mr Anderson's family?" asked a nurse gently.Both Adrian and Alicia turned their heads and replied in unison, "I am!"The nurse frowned in confusion at the two. Especially towards Adrian who was still on the floor."Excuse me, what are you doing down there?" she asked with a teasing smile, especially when she saw Adrian's face which was quite handsome and always the centre of attention of women wherever he was.Adrian, who realised he was looking at his body, hurriedly got up and ti
Alicia dropped an ice cube on her swollen leg and automatically screamed in pain.Adrian who saw it immediately threw himself at Alicia with a panicked look on his face."Hey! Why are you always so reckless! Look..your leg seems to be getting swollen! Be careful! Do you want to be treated here so that you can be close to my father? Use your brain!" Adrian exclaimed while looking at the condition of Alicia's leg and compressing it, and gently stroking Alicia's leg, this made Alicia's heart beat faster and faster.Alicia closed her eyes and hissed softly as Adrian began to gently massage her legs. Alicia immediately laid down her tired body slowly and unconsciously enjoying the sensation of Adrian's massage."Shush...!" a hissing sound came from Alicia's beautiful lips, and Alicia swallowed her saliva as she began to feel her throat suddenly dry.Adrian who raised his head saw Alicia who was enjoying the massage and closed her eyes while lying down. Adrian gave a slight smile, he felt h
Adrian held his nose which was hurting. Alicia lifted her face just as Adrian looked down so that Alicia's head hit Adrian's high nose quite hard.The startled Alicia felt bad, and said, "Sorry, Adrian. I'm sorry I didn't mean to! I didn't know you...why are you looking down anyway?" Adrian looked at Alicia who asked such a strange question, ' It wouldn't be possible if I said I looked down because I was mesmerized by her scent and wanted to kiss her, would it? What a shame, Adrian! Because Alicia doesn't seem to want that!'"Of course to see your condition! What else do you think, Aly? Look, you know I'm a lot taller than you! So there's no way I'm looking up, is there? Of course I'm looking down! That's weird!" said Adrian, holding back his embarrassment by diverting their conversation."Oh!" Alicia only replied briefly, because she was actually embarrassed herself, having touched Adrian's body a little intimately."Ehem! Now can you let me go, Adrian? I think I can still walk fine
Alicia frowned in confusion, 'What does Adrian want? Why is he stopping me? Does he not want me to get close to him? Do I disgust him?'Alicia continued to think in her heart, with a little disappointment and hurt she exhaled her breath and said, "Sorry! I didn't mean to approach you or anything I just... Hey! Where are you going?"Adrian didn't care what Alicia said, Adrian suddenly walked out of the room without saying anything."Shit! How rude of him! I was talking to him and he just left!" Alicia said in a slightly angry tone.Alicia unintentionally looked at Aaron who was still lying on the bed without waking up at all.Slowly despite having to endure the pain, Alicia approached Aaron and pulled a chair that was located not far from the bed where Aaron was lying. Alicia pulled the chair out and began to sit in it, right next to Aaron."When are you going to wake up, Aaron? I missed you... it turns out that you're the only one who always cares about me and always cares about me! I
Alicia tried to hold Adrian's hand but Adrian accidentally injured her. Alicia was knocked down on the floor of Adrian's treatment room in a sitting position, Adrian's elbow hit Alicia's cheek and made Alicia's right cheek red. Alicia's tears came involuntarily because of the pain she was suffering. "Akhhhh... It hurts!!!" Alicia said unconsciously. Adrian looked back and backed away from Doctor Smith. Making Doctor Smith breathe a sigh of relief, he had just escaped an injury that might have been severe if Adrian had continued his action. Adrian turned back and tried to help Alicia. "What are you doing, you idiot! Why are you holding and pulling my hand? Sorry! Are you hurt? Oh my God! Your cheek is red and a little swollen!" Adrian was about to touch Alicia's cheek. Alicia quickly brushed him off, knowing that Adrian's actions would probably make her position even more difficult as there was still Doctor Smith watching them. Alicia looked down with anxious eyes glancing at Doct
Alycia tried to turn her head in the direction of the sound, while then releasing her grip on Aaron's hand who was still unconscious. Alycia stood up and turned around and made room for a doctor who was around the same age as Aaron to approach her patient and best friend.Dr Smith came stumbling in, while rushing towards Aaron, and unintentionally violently pushed Alycia aside."Get out of the way! Let me examine him!" Dr Smith exclaimed harshly."Akhh" Alicia staggered backwards and was caught by Adrian."Are you okay?" Adrian asked softly with concern.Alycia just shook her head, "I'm fine! Thank you!" Once strong enough to stand, Adrian was about to approach Dr Smith who was busy examining his father Aaron while his back was turned to them. The look on Adrian's face held anger, but Adrian's steps and words were stopped by Alycia pulling his elbow while shaking his head, "Please don't make a scene here, this is a hospital, pity your sick father!"Adrian turned to Alycia as he said
BUGH!"DAD!!!" Adrian shouted and his scream made Alycia who had just touched the exit door of the room turn around in surprise. "Aaron!!! Oh, no!!! Oh my God...!!!" Alycia then supported Aaron's head and unbuttoned Aaron's shirt from above. And patted Aaron's cheek lightly."Help!!! Help!!!" Alycia shouted frantically.While Adrian stood in his place silent, he was shocked, the father he knew was so healthy that he never even saw the last time his father was sick, this was enough to shock him!"Hey! Adrian! Why are you silent? Hurry up and get help! I'm worried, he's having heart problems again! Please call an ambulance and call Dr Smith! Have him wait at the hospital! We have to get him there quickly!" Alycia said with a little tension."What do you mean, heart? What's wrong with his heart? What's wrong with Dad? Does Doctor Smith know about this? Why didn't anyone tell me? Are you lying to gain my sympathy?" Adrian looked confused but scared at the same time.Alycia exhaled her b
"What?"Aaron's eyes bulged while Alycia stared with mixed feelings. Hate and anger. "Who is he to say that I don't deserve Aaron?" Alycia's mind screamed."What do you mean, Adrian? Like Daddy said before... she's Alycia Zareta, she's your future stepmother, which means she's your Daddy's future wife!" Aaron said with a bit of annoyance and anger.Adrian glared at his father and then pointed at Alycia with his finger. "What? So she's going to be my future stepmother, Dad? Really? She's even more qualified to be my sister! Or...maybe my mistress! She must just want to make a fortune off you, Dad! Come on, snap out of it! She's nothing more than a deadbeat chick! So, how much do you want, huh? To leave my dad? 5 billion? 10 billion? How much? Name your price!" Adrian glared sardonically at the young woman who was currently sitting next to her father, right across from him. "BRAK!!!" "Adrian! Shut up! Watch what you say! How presumptuous of you! Alycia's not like that!" said the adu
"Look Adrian... you really... really..." Alicia pointed her index finger at Adrian with great emotion."What's wrong with me, what did I say?" Adrian stared with a mocking look on his face.Alycia took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment then looked back at Adrian with the same mocking look she had given Adrian. "Your mind is petty! Your heart is rotten! That's why you don't know anything! Just like before! All you know is that narrow mind of yours! I'm sorry but I'm not you who is petty and likes to play with people's feelings just for a game! A bet! Then leave her by betraying her! And you think you're that good in bed? Huh? I don't even remember it! Because we did it while I was unconscious! You must remember that, right? Or you could say you raped me!" Adrian's face reddened with anger, Adrian wanted to answer and reply to Alycia's words but then his mouth felt stiff, because there was one thing he realized, namely there was a part where what Alycia said was the truth.
