Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 73

Alicia's face turned pale immediately. No one but herself and I knew where she had been. She had gone to the bushes to laugh at me, and to see me being disfigured and abused.

Now that she had gone out of her way to "do me good", I was obliged to "pay her back". But there would be plenty of time. I was no in a hurry. 'Let's wait and see, Alicia.'

"Alicia, there's so much dirt on your shoes!" Marvin stood up to take a look and found Alicia's shoes covered in mud. Every step that she took would leave behind a pair of striking black marks on the floor.

Marlon was gazing at Alicia's shoes as well, but he did not say anything.

"I..."

Pretending to be curious, I walked over to Alicia and pointed at the hickeys on her neck. "Alicia, where did the red marks on your neck come from? You cannot go to the bushes. Are they mosquito bites?"

No one present was idiot. They could tell hickeys from mosquito bites and stings.

"Mr. Redford seems to be cold and desire for nothing. I didn't expect that..."

"Nor did I..." The guests were whispering. They didn't dare to speak up because none of them could afford to offend Marlon.

"Mr. Redford, Alicia is pregnant. How can you let her go to the bushes? Now she got bitten by mosquitos. The mountain mosquitos are lethal! They carry infectious bacteria. It's dangerous if you got bitten by them!" I spoke up and blamed Marlon. Inside, I was happy. Maybe the guests assumed that these hickeys were from Marlon. But Alicia and I knew that they was left by Kaleb in the bushes. Marlon was clear about that, too.

Marlon swept a glance at Alicia's neck, and then stared at me with his black eyes. On the surface, I was showing concern for Alicia. But looking at Marlon's face, I can't help but laugh inside. I wanted to tell him: this is the woman you love. She not only frame others but was cheating on you when she was at a banquet with you. I was also curious about Marlon's reaction when he found out the truth in the future.

'Marlon, you said I was the most disgusting woman. You said I was a liar. Let's wait and see. I am wondering what you would say about Alicia if you have seen what happened!'

Bang!

Alicia suddenly fell onto the ground. Marlon looked at me one last time and helped Alicia up immediately.

"Alicia, is everything OK with you?" Things fell into chaos. The scene became chaotic. Shania and Marvin hurried over to Alicia.

I stood by, looking coldly at Alicia get surrounded by others. If I knew little about Alicia, I would have believed that she really fainted.

Nonetheless, she did impress me with the composure in the face of danger. She simply chose to faint when she could not offer a proper explanation about the hickeys. She was smart indeed. Marlon was obsessed with her and she was pregnant now. Marlon would surely go easy on her about the hickeys.

As expected, Marlon hurried to take Alicia upstairs and ordered to call 911.

"Let's go back home!" I had enough of the farce and decided to leave.

Kieran agreed and left the Cornell's with me.

Along the way, neither of us spoke. I closed my eyes and leaned against the seat. I smelled the cold fragrance from Kieran, which was quite refreshing. It calmed me down.

Too many things had happened tonight. I almost got ... After getting disfigured, I was as ugly as a monster. Just like Kaleb had said, I would have to hide in the darkness for the rest of my life. Or perhaps, I didn't even have the courage to continue with my life.

Thinking of this, my body trembled instinctively, This was an unforgettable battle, lingering nightmares. I will never come out of this shadow my entire life. And this enormous nightmare, hell, is something that Alicia will push forward with one hand. Since that's the case, even if I don't die, I will still fight Alicia for the rest of my life. Until one day, her shadow will be ten times as bad as mine.

"Thank you!" I thanked Kieran. Although I had no idea why Kieran knew that I was in danger, I was pretty sure that Armand came to my rescue at the command of Kieran.

Kieran didn't say anything. He closed his eyes as if he was asleep. However, even with his eyes closed, Kieran was giving away the cold and lethal aura of danger. He was like the cruelest and most ferocious wild beast. No one dared to approach him even if he was asleep.

But I knew that Kieran was awake.

"Mr. Charles, what do you want on earth?" I looked at Kieran and asked. I had long been troubled by this question and had once asked him. Kieran told me that he and Marlon were sworn enemies and he wanted to upset Marlon. However, I found his answer ungrounded. There must be another reason behind.

"What is your ultimate goal?" I further asked.

The air in the car was frozen. It was so quiet that I almost thought it that Kieran was asleep. But I knew he was awake. As time passed, I began to get panicked. After taking revenge on Alicia at the Cornell's, I was so excited that I almost forgot my situation.

I regretted it and wanted to make amends. Before I said anything, I found that Kieran slowly opened his eyes. His sharp gaze landed on me, freezing me up. I too terrified by his murderous looks to breathe.

"To make Marlon fall in love with you!" Kieran said word by word. I opened my eyes wide in disbelief, "To make Marlon fall in love with me?"

"Yes!"

"Why?" I asked.

Kieran swept a cold glance at me and closed his eyes again. He didn't show the slightest intention to say anything more. I didn't ask further. This was typical of Kieran. 'You got lucky if you got what you want to know from him. If he didn't want to say anything, you can do nothing about him.'

The car stopped in front of my apartment building. It was late at night. There weren't many people on the road. No one noticed Kieran's luxurious car.

"Goodbye, Mr. Charles!" After bidding farewell to Kieran, I got off the car. Kieran didn't open his eyes at all, as if I didn't exist and was not worth his attention.

I saw the car off until it disappeared from my sight. It took me a while to regain my senses and go to my apartment.

Actually, I was really tired tonight because many things took place. However, I didn't feel sleepy at all when I lay down in bed. Things began to come to my mind one after another. I was enraged. I sat up with my cold eyes. I thought of my poor mother who had been tortured to death, Davidson who had been plagued by the trauma of abuse since childhood, and myself.
