Chapter 24
Alicia picked up the microphone and put on a bitter smile.
"It has been three years. Every year on this day, I would sing the same song here to convey my far- reaching blessings. Today, I want to sing a song for myself for one last time, 'Seeing Through Love'!" Alicia said.
The sad music played at a slow beat, little by little, as if it was dedicated to the love that had been long gone. Alicia closed her eyes slowly as well and began to sing.
[You have worn the new clothes she bought. Your smile was as sweet as it used to be. From now on there will be, someone to replace me forever in your world.]
[ I should have thought of such an ending. I can't give you what you want. I will watch you as you drive away, leaving me alone in the rain.]
Thinking of the wedding three years ago during the rainy night, she ran down the whole street chasing after his car in a wedding dress just for one reason. She fell down in the heavy rain, causing her face to be covered with mud, which made her look like a drowned mouse. She also made the headlines the next day, becoming the laughing stock of the whole city. Thinking of this, Alicia's voice could not help but be a little hoarse.
[ I won't persuade you to stay any longer. Tears wash away the trace of love I've shed for you!]
As soon as Frederick entered the club, he saw Alicia singing emotionally with her face full of tears on the stage. The noisy club became so quiet that only the heavenly voice could be heard at this moment.
[ Memories are tormenting. Be powerless once you think about the past. All the past memories have turned into sighs. Seeing through love, I have also seen through you!]
After the last note, Alicia threw the microphone. She couldn't help crying and jumped off the stage.
Jeremy also stood up almost at the same time.
It seemed that the people in the club were influenced by the song, the club was quiet for a long time. Frederick stood by the door with his brows knitted tightly, while Carson was in a shock.
Like a headless chicken, Alicia ran recklessly all the way. She didn't even notice Frederick and bumped into him. 'Tm sorry," she apologized.
Someone grabbed her wrist and she resisted. "Let go of me—"
Alicia didn't sound friendly. Her eyes were red, and her face was full of tears. It was not until then that she could see who had grabbed her. "It's you?"
Frederick was ashen-faced. There were two men behind him, one of whom she had met before. He was Frederick's friend.
Alicia was thunderstruck, and she could feel a painful pinch on her hand.
At this time, Jeremy and Lindsay had also caught up. "Jeremy—" Lindsay shouted.
In an instant, everyone stopped at the door, and time seemed to be still at this moment.
"We'll meet again another day! Let's go!" Frederick said to his friends.
Then, he turned around and walked out the door. At the same time, he grabbed Alicia's waist and almost dragged her out. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Jeremy, who was right behind, wanted to go after him but Lindsay held onto him and cried in pain, "Jeremy! Ouch, my stomach..."
"What's wrong with you? I'll take you to the hospital!" Jeremy said nervously.
Then, Jeremy helped her up and strode away. Standing aside, Carson and Wyatt glanced at each other. Then, they curled their lips at the same time and walked into a private room nearby.
Along the way, Frederick and Alicia didn't talk. Frederick's face was gloomy as he sped along the road. Alicia's face was blanched, but she just bit her lips tightly. Her eyes were red and puffy. She was shivering and looked a little pitiful.
The car drove all the way to Landrum Garden. Then, Frederick stopped the car and dragged her down. His actions were so rude that he almost threw her to the ground. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied.
Alicia slipped and made a sudden twist. She was in so much pain as if there were needles poking her. However, she did not dare to make a sound. She trotted all the way behind him. Even so, Frederick roared at her again at the door.
"Why are you dawdling?"
