Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)



Willy received constant updates as he rushed to the hotel, but at the same time, he also kept getting photos of Lauren, all the while making various calls. "What do you mean she's not there? Are you trying to tell me she, a full-grown adult, disappeared after going in? Don't tell me the surveillance is also broken when there's nothing on the records!"

He was beside himself with rage, roaring worriedly, "She's definitely in the hotel! If all fails, knock on every single room!"

Struck with a flash of inspiration, Willy said, "Send people over and set the fire alarm off! No way will these people rather die than come out!" "Mr. Willy, there are hundreds of rooms; won't we cause a huge commotion if we do that? Also, also... there are many influential people in the hotel, not lacking any who brought their lovers over! We'd be offending a lot of them!"

"Is this what you should worry about? Go and search! If you still can't find her when you reach the last three levels, do as I said!"

After hanging up, Willy turned the car around and hit the gas again, livid with rage.

He and Lexx reached the entrance one after another, charging in after meeting up.

"Willy, anyone we can mobilize is already here! Nora Lyons is holding a concert today; an important person of the day! People inside are also looking for her. I've asked through the phone; they said Lauren had come over, but she's been absent-minded the whole day. No one knows where she has gone. She disappeared just like that..."

"The worst thing is, it's a concert. Not only are there many people, but a lot of them were also part-timers, new faces. No one knows where to even begin!"

Willy only spoke up after they entered the elevator.

"I've also sent the pictures to the manager! F*cking hotel; all the rooms are the same! At least ten floors, hundreds of rooms! Who the f*ck?"

Why lay their hands on Lauren and even send him those pictures?

Willy's mind was all over the place as his heart was in his mouth.

He knew he should keep the matter on a low profile, but the constant photos aside, one of them had a knife glare coming from the shadow on the wardrobe. Fear was already not enough to describe his mixed feeling then.

It'd be too dangerous if they didn't cause a huge ruckus! But if they did, he and Lauren would humiliate themselves entirely. He dared not imagine what things would be like for them the next day!

Utterly troubled, Willy's thoughts were like the throbbing veins on his arm, uncontrollably chaotic!

Right as he stepped out of the elevator, a ping came from his phone, and he unlocked it reflexively. Lowering his head to check the notification, he stumbled as his vision went dark.

"Willy?"

Supporting him up, Lexx was rendered gobsmacked when he lowered his head, the text right before his eyes when he took Willy's phone over. "Your daughter is in my hands now. Three million dollars cash, non- sequential. You have half an hour; deliver it yourself! ALONE!"

Following the text was a picture of a little girl lying with half her back facing the camera. Half of her face was concealed by the shadow. Though the picture only showed her body from the knee up, her clothes and bag were very much visible.

Then, a series of texts came.

"This bit of money is nothing to the great Mr.

Bowles, right?"

"We just want a bit of runaway money. We get the money; you get her back. Prepare a funeral if we don't receive our money in half an hour." What was going on? How was it so coincidental?

Clutching Willy's phone, Lexx grew nervous. "Willy, I'll handle things here; go and save Yvette! I'll definitely do everything I can!"

He jerked his head, gesturing for

et

Willy to go. However, right as he turned around, Willy grabbed his arm. "Save Lauren first! Since it's a ransom, they won't do anything to her until they get the money! Plus, we're not sure of the situation yet. We still have time!" Content belongs

Snatching his phone back, he made a call home. "Pick Yvette up? Who? Haven't they returned? And the bodyguards?"

After getting the answers he needed, he then made a few more calls. However, all straight to voicemail, either not answering, or the phones have turned off. He couldn't reach any of them who went to pick Yvette up no matter how!

"Sh*t!"noveldrama

Just as he was about to make another call home after growling frustratingly, a security guard ran to him. "Mr. Bowles, we found her. She's probably in

3609! No registration. The manager has gone to get the key card..."

Seeing the 35F label to his side, Willy ran toward the emergency exit.

Meanwhile, in the teacher's office of the kindergarten, a few men in black stood in line with Yvette in front of them, everyone standing deferentially, listening to a young woman's reprimand and lecture.

"Are you guys her parents? No

amount of money in this world can

replace parents' love. Not only has Yvette fought with another child in school but she also wouldn't admit her fault. Though this requires thorough investigation, her attitude is also another problem.

"Sure, it's okay to pamper girls a little, but it's different from spoiling her! I can't even communicate with her anymore! It's all because you guys blindly let her have her way! Now that you guys have come, she won't listen to me again!"

"Can you guys make decisions for her? Though I think this is a small issue, we still need to deal with this with her and her parents properly! They're both kids, but the other child has been injured!" "You're right! I'll immediately report it to Mr. and

Mrs. Bowles when I return! What do you say we discuss her education at a later time? Sorry for letting you worry!"

Though the butler could feel his phone constantly vibrating as he settled the matter, he didn't walk away to answer it, he was still

communicating with the teachel

sincerely. Standing aside, Yvette kept her mouth pouted, puffy-eyed, evidently unyielding.

Back in the hotel room, Lauren hadn't a clue how long she had passed out, only knowing she was roused by a sharp pain the second time she opened her eyes.

As a silhouette came into her vision, she reflexively shoved him away. "Who are you? Go away! Don't come near me...'

Not expecting her to wake up so soon, Kayden faltered, landing on his butt from her shoving, and couldn't help snorting under his breath. "You sure are feisty! What century do you think you're in? Do you really need to do this?"

The more she minded, the more uncomfortable he felt. "Are you planning to give your life to the grim reaper if you are defiled?"

"I won't do that! But I'll drag you down to hell with me for the rest of my life! These are two different matters. It has nothing to do with the century we're in, but if I've consented to it..."

Lauren pounded her chest, constantly feeling like something was stuck deep in her throat, and a trace of bitterness lingered within her. Instantly, she widened her eyes in disbelief.

"What did you feed me? What in the world are you trying to do?"

F*ck! She looked around, reflexively searching for her phone.

Kayden had already stood up then, swinging the blade in his hand again.

"I'm going to... help you, of course! Though I loathe that guy, you're still different. You've given birth to an adorable little girl!"
