Chapter 1013

Author: Debbie Meza
The fitting room, though not as spacious as a regular room, covered an area of about 70 to 80 square meters. It was well-equipped, with a bed, a sofa, and a separate bathroom, ensuring the privacy of the shop’s customers.

Vicky stood in front of a mirror that was as large as a wall and began to assess the wedding dress she was wearing.

The dress fitted her perfectly as if it had been tailor-made for her.

For a moment, Vicky was amused by her own thoughts.

It did not seem odd that Elijah could order the wedding gown to be tailored to her measurements. After all, he managed to plan his act so well that he even ordered a completely different gown from the one made for his ex-fiance.

Vicky was a fashion designer. Although she did not specialize in bridal dresses, clothing, regardless of their style, shared certain similarities in their details.

The bridal gown from the Blossom lineup she saw last time was indeed exceptionally beautiful, but it did not suit Vicky's temperament a

    Upon hearing those words, Vicky's face turned pale due to her anger. She could not hold back and raised her hand to slap him. However, before she could strike, her hand was intercepted in mid-air. At the same time, the man's icy and chilling voice echoed in her ear, "Vicky, do you know that there are consequences for hitting me?" Vicky did not have a chance to reply before she was forcefully pushed against the cold wall, and Tyler's kiss descended heavily upon her. Her breath was stolen in an instant, and like a starved beast, he threatened to devour her whole. Vicky's struggles and attempts to evade were futile in stopping his plunder. Unable to break free, she bit down fiercely, but Tyler seemed prepared for it. In that instant of her bite, he pinched her cheeks, disabling her from exerting any force, and took the opportunity to deepen the kiss even more. Anger and the lack of breath caused Vicky's cheeks to flush with a rosy hue, a stark contrast to the backdrop of her sno

    Just then, there was knocking on the door. "Miss Shaw, did you call for service?" Vicky stiffened and she immediately shoved Tyler away. "The attendant is here." He paused and looked at her. "So?" "Get out of here right now." He smirked. "Get out of here now so that they will see us together?" Vicky was dumbfounded. Knock, knock, knock. When Vicky failed to answer, the staff knocked again. "Miss Shaw, are you in there?" Tyler kissed her cheek, his deep voice tinged with a hint of seductive huskiness, "If you don't want to be discovered in public, then send her away." Vicky knew that once she allowed herself to be controlled by someone, she would continue to be controlled and she refused to comply with his wishes. She tried to raise her voice to call for help. "He- Umph!" Before she could utter a single word, Tyler saw through her intentions and sealed her lips with his own. Vicky could only emit muffled choking sounds, but such sounds couldn't be heard from ou

    'Elijah left? If Elijah's gone, no one can stop Tyler…'' Vicky thought, her heart sinking. Feeling uneasy, she said, "I will get to the bottom of what happened. Miss Starling is still waiting for you in a different room. You should go to her." "There's no need to hurry," Tyler said in a hoarse voice, before lowering his head to kiss her once again. ... Apart from the time when they first fell in love, she never had the right to make any decision concerning her relationship with Tyler. Regardless of whether they were divorced or not, Tyler would always treat her as his possession, to be used as he pleased. The unprecedented exhaustion and weariness made Vicky wish she could die because it seemed that death was her only escape from this endless humiliation. The afternoon sunlight was just right, filtering through the ethereal curtains and casting a faint layer of light in the room. Walking out of the bathroom, Tyler caught sight of Vicky lying on the bed like a puppet. T

    Vicky's blood ran cold when she heard Aurora's voice. She was so close to Tyler that she could hear every word Aurora said even if the call was not answered on speaker mode. Tyler planted gentle kisses on Vicky while responding in a hoarse voice, "You carry on. I'll come to look for you later." Since he promised to return, Aurora seemed reassured. "Since you have urgent matters to take care of, I'll let you get back to it. We have plenty of time. Just give me a call when you are done." A few moments later, Tyler said casually, "Sure." Aurora noticed something odd with his voice and asked, "Tyler, what's wrong with your voice? Are you ill?" "Yeah." Aurora advised, seemingly reluctant to end the call, and continued to give him instructions, "Make sure to drink plenty of water if you catch a cold. The temperature difference between day and night has been significant lately, so make sure to keep yourself warm. Also, try not to overwork yourself. Exhaustion weakens the body's

    Vicky nodded and was about to leave when Aurora called out, "Your fiance left, and so did mine. Why don't we go out and shop together?" Vicky stilled and turned to look at her. "The two of us?" "Yeah. Is there a problem?" "Are you sure you want to go shopping with me?" Realization dawned on Aurora. She asked with a smile, "Why can't we go shopping together? You have a fiance and Tyler has started a new life as well. Since the past is behind us, there's no reason for us to avoid each other." Aurora seemed carefree. "I'm not against people becoming friends after they break up. There won't be any misunderstanding so long as everyone stays in line, right?" She paused and shot Vicky a half-smile before continuing, "Since you're getting married soon, you must have gotten past Tyler already. So… you wouldn't mind that, would you?" Vicky was suddenly at a loss for words. She did not want to go shopping with Aurora, but if she declined, Aurora would think that she still had feelings

    Realization dawned on Aurora. "Oh, I see. Well then, let's go to another store." Vicky frowned. "It's fine. The wedding jewelry has already been custom-made by the Harrisons." Aurora did not seem to mind. "Even if you already have some custom-made ones, what if you don't like them? As a woman, it's never wrong to buy more accessories." Aurora glanced at her. "I can't help but notice that you don't seem very enthusiastic about getting married. Are you still upset with Elijah?" Vicky's eyebrows twitched. "No." Vicky could not quite figure out the purpose behind Aurora taking her shopping and wondered if Aurora was trying to see if Vicky was lying about the wedding. Vicky was exhausted and she could barely form any coherent thought. Combined with her guilt and unease towards Aurora, she could not remain composed and think clearly. "Since you're not upset, let's go then. Even if we're angry, we still have to get married, right? It's not like we can break up with our respective

    A couple stood before a mannequin and the woman pointed at the dress on it with a smile. "What about this one?" The man glanced at it and said endearingly, "We will buy it if you like it." "We've bought too many things. Are you still buying more?" The woman pouted. "We haven’t bought a lot. We still haven't visited a few shops ahead." The woman glanced at him in displeasure. "It's been a while since you came shopping with me." "I've been busy, and you know that." The man wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her on the cheek. "Don't be mad. I will stay with you today, alright?" The woman beamed. "Promise? You aren't allowed to leave." "Don't worry. I won't go anywhere this time." Just as the two whispered sweet words into each other's ears, a woman's voice sounded from behind them. "Mister Harrisons?" The man froze and turned around, paling when he saw Aurora. "M- Miss Starling?" Aurora glanced at Elijah and then at the woman in his arms. "And who is this...

    Aurora watched the scene unfold without much interest before turning to look at Vicky. Even though Vicky's sunglasses and face mask were covering her face, Aurora could still tell that she was not in a good mood. She knew her mind was somewhere else, so she tapped her on the shoulder and said, "It's best to talk to him, lest there be any misunderstanding." Vicky nodded. She was happy to take her suggestion since she had been thinking about how to get out of window shopping for quite a while. "I'll be on my way then." "Okay. Goodbye." … Once she got home, Vicky was about to call Elijah, but he beat her to it. "Vicky, I'm sorry," said Elijah remorsefully. At that moment, Vicky had a splitting headache since she did not get enough rest the previous night. Her exhaustion was compounded by the fact that she still went shopping with Aurora for most of the day. She massaged her temples. "Did you leave in a hurry because of her?" "Yvette and I have made plans to meet up pre

    [Alright.]Aurora sighed in relief. "Vicky, we've been out for quite a while. Shall we head back?"Vicky glanced at Aurora. "Can we finally go back now?""Yes, we can go back... Huh?" Aurora sensed something was amiss. "Vicky, do you...know something?"Vicky smiled. "Every time I go out with friends, Tyler always bombards me with questions about when I'll be back and insists on picking me up. Strangely, he didn't ask me anything today. Also... I remember that it's my birthday today."Aurora was left speechless as she realized Vicky saw right through her act....By the time they got home, it was starting to get dark outside. Inside the mansion, it was quiet and pitch-black. Suddenly, a warm, yellow candlelight gradually illuminated the darkness, revealing a handsome face."Happy birthday, Vicky," Tyler said.Vicky gazed at the flickering candles, feeling a bit dazed.It was then she remembered that during the early days of their relationship, he had prepared a birthday surpri

    Tyler showed great disdain when his wish of getting a daughter was let down. What irritated him most was that this son looked remarkably like him.After recovering from childbirth, Vicky accompanied a newly pregnant Aurora on a shopping trip for baby supplies.Upon hearing Vicky's story, Aurora could not help but ask, "Men are usually happy when they have sons, so why does Tyler prefer daughters?"Vicky sighed. "Tyler says that a family is never really balanced and happy unless they have one son and one daughter."Aurora nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed. Now that you have a son, having a daughter would be perfect. Vicky, have you and Tyler considered responding to the national call and having a third child?"Vicky shook her head. "The last time I gave birth, Tyler wasn't around, so he doesn't know what it was like. This time, he was scared out of his wits and had no intention of having more children. A few days ago, he even underwent a vasectomy."Aurora chuckled. "Daughters may be s

    However, everything spiraled out of control.Tyler knew his behavior was despicable, but he could not control his emotions.When he loved, every cell within him longed for her. Every time he came to see her, he told himself it would be the last time. However, he found himself appearing at her house more and more frequently.Tyler knew he was in trouble, and it would not be long before he returned to his former self.Vicky was like a drug to him. Even though he knew that contact with her was toxic, he could not bring himself to let go.He knew she was pregnant with his child, and his most primal desires began to surge, making it impossible for him to resist the urge to make her stay.Vicky listened quietly to his confession, and her heart ached.She could not fight off the urge to hold him; her touch was firm and comforting.He only mentioned a few words about the time he regained consciousness, but Vicky knew he had endured a lot of pain. The fact that he was alive was a miracl

    Tyler's lips quivered as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he fell silent.What was there to say? It was not like he could apologize. The deed had been done, and his apology would not mean anything. Besides, he had no regrets whatsoever.Vicky stared at him. "You tampered with the surveillance, didn't you?""Yes.""And the servants and nannies. They're all under your control, right?"Tyler lowered his gaze. "Yes."Since all of this was real and not a dream, she must have been unconscious when Tyler returned. No matter how soundly she slept, she should have felt something. Since she had to take care of Lufian, she came home every day for meals, so she guessed that something was added to her food.For the past few days, she pretended to eat at home while secretly disposing of her meals. As it turned out, her suspicions were correct.Vicky repeated the question she asked before. "Why didn't you come to me?"Tyler remained silent once again."Did you come here just t

    "Are you planning to leave just like that?"The man's body tensed.Click! The desk lamp was turned on, its warm, amber light illuminating the darkness."Why won't you look at me? Are you brave enough to do it but not to admit it?" echoed Vicky's gentle voice.Tyler snapped out of it and instinctively pulled his hand away from hers, ready to escape, only for Vicky's next words to pin him in place."If you leave now, I'll get rid of the baby in me tomorrow."He swiftly froze in place and turned back to her. "What did you just say?"Even though she prepared herself mentally, seeing the shock on his face made Vicky's eyes widen in shock. In an instant, her eyes welled up with tears. "You..."As Tyler met the shock in her eyes, he came to a sudden realization and turned his face away, looking anywhere but at her.When she learned about her pregnancy and knew she had not been dreaming, Vicky had a hunch about who it was that came and went freely into her home. The only one capable o

    Vicky began to feel increasingly uneasy. She was pregnant without even knowing who the father was. That had to be one of the most absurd jokes in the world.Aurora, Noah, and the others were bewildered.They knew Vicky's character well, and she was not the type to casually sleep around. Besides, she still had feelings for Tyler, so she would never sleep with another man.Getting drunk was even more out of the question. After all, she was either working or taking care of her child. She had neither the time nor the inclination to go out drinking.Even Vicky herself was bewildered, and her thoughts were in disarray. "I... I don't know."The others exchanged glances, all noticing that Vicky's first instinct was not to terminate the pregnancy."Vicky, go home and think it over carefully. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call us," Aurora said gently.Vicky nodded absently.Back at home, Vicky reviewed the surveillance footage once more.She had watched it numerous times, but

    Just then, a dish that Vicky usually enjoyed was brought to the table by the waiter.The aroma filled the air, but Vicky paled instantly. Before anyone could react, she retched and rushed to the bathroom.Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.Cece blinked. "What's wrong with Vicky?"Jennifer furrowed her brow. "Vicky doesn't look well. Is she ill?"The concerned Aurora chimed in, "Ever since Tyler's disappearance, Vicky hasn't been in the best mood. She even suffered from postpartum depression. Let's take her to the hospital after dinner. We can't afford for her to fall ill again."Everyone assumed that something was physically wrong with Vicky, but Noah, who remained silent, spoke up."I remember when Vicky was pregnant last time... She seemed to be very sensitive to certain smells."All eyes turned to Noah.Jennifer's eyes widened. "What are you trying to say, Noah?! You don't mean to suggest that...Vicky might be pregnant, do you?"Under the curious gazes of everyone, Noah c

    "Lufian is usually very well-behaved. He doesn't cause a fuss and is easy to handle.""Is his name Lufian?""That's right. Lufian Hart."Gloria's gaze flickered briefly but quickly returned to normal. "Have you given him a nickname?""Not yet," Vicky replied.Gloria did not say anything further.After playing with the child for a while, she carefully placed the necklace she had prepared around Lufian's neck.The baby played for a while and soon fell asleep.Gloria then gently returned Lufian to his stroller.Leaving the nursery, Vicky and Gloria engaged in casual conversation. They had no deep-seated grudges, and over time, their past love and hatred gradually faded away.Vicky smiled and remarked, "You seem to really like children. How about having one yourself?
