While Vicky was deep in contemplation, Nikki — dressed in a new set of attire — had already walked back out to the stage. She sat down in front of the piano and scanned the audience quickly.

Her eyes immediately lit up and she smiled when her gaze fell on a particular face in the audience.

She was a beautiful girl who gave off a cold yet regal aura. A dignified woman, she would never give a person like Mister Larson the time of day. Hence, why she rejected his advances.

It was safe to say that she had no interest in wealth or power, nor did she give a d*mn about those rich, spoiled kids who thought they could get her attention by throwing money around. Those kids who came from wealthy families were all the same everywhere — they were either drinking their lives away or banking on their family name to get them out of trouble every day.

They were all good-for-nothings. Nikki would be a fool to believe them when they said they were there to support her talent; they were actually the

    The surprise only lasted for a while.Tyler was a good CEO and would never allow personal matters to affect his work. Vicky never got him to break this ethic, and neither did Sheila. It seemed Nikki could not do it, too.Vicky had not discovered any similarities between Sheila and Nikki. They did not look the same, and their temperaments did not match. The only similarity was that they were both skilled in the piano.However, Vicky did not think Tyler treated them differently just because they could play the piano very well. Thus, she had a feeling it would be something else, one she did not know of.That was probably why Vicky showed up here every day.The bar was popular, but Nikki was not the only one who performed for the establishment. There were other performers who would showcase their talents, too.After finishing a song, Nikki bowed to the audience. When she was leaving the stage, an affluent young man dressed in branded apparel stopped Nikki with a glass of wine in his

    "Are you sure?" asked Nikki.The waitress nodded. "Many of the upper-class people know what Tyler's wife looks like even though people like us might not 'cause she likes to keep a low profile. The young masters and young misses who frequent this bar have met her many times in the banquets thrown by the rich, so they can recognize her at a glance."After a pause, the waitress added, "I asked the bouncer at the door, and he said…"The waitress looked at Nikki and lowered her voice even more. "She's been here almost on all the nights Mister Hart was here too."The expression in Nikki's eyes changed.-Vicky made an exception tonight and decided to stay until Nikki finished playing her last song, but still, Tyler did not appear.'Seems like Tyler isn't coming tonight,' she thought.The final performance of the night was normally done by Nikki.After Nikki had finished playing her last song, Vicky put on her sunglasses and hat and started walking toward the exit when someone sudden

    As Nikki dug more deeply into the matter, she chanced upon numerous gossip articles saying Vicky was the one who broke up Tyler and his first love by seducing him into her bed. There was a lot of news about them, but weirdly enough, not a single photo of Vicky could be found.It would be hard-pressed for people who were not from the circle to get to know Vicky. In other words, the masses did not have the right to talk about her.Thus, Nikki could only get a generalized idea about what was really going on between Tyler and Vicky: Vicky loved Tyler, but he did not share the same feelings, and she would rather hold onto the dead marriage than let him go. Therefore, Nikki thought that Vicky was a crazy woman who was paranoid, lunatic, and frantic.In fact, before talking with Vicky, Nikki even thought she was like one of those desperate housewives whose life revolved around their husbands and instead of looking to themselves for the problem in their marriage, they would rather stalk the

    "From your tone, I can tell you really hate those mistresses, but if that's the case, why did you become that kind of woman you hate the most? Just as you said, Ms. Shaw, any woman who tries to worm her way into someone else's marriage is a mistress. I seem to recall you were the one who caused Mister Hart to break up with Sheila. Doesn't that make you a mistress as well?" Vicky asked nonchalantly.Vicky was kind of shocked upon hearing that, but it was only for a short period of time.Nikki noticed the changes in Vicky's emotions and thus continued, "Ms. Shaw, I'm sure you've heard of the saying 'what goes around comes around'. Therefore, the pain you caused to others will sooner or later be bestowed upon you one day.""Are you telling me you'll be the one to do that? Bestow pain upon me and whatnot?" questioned Vicky with a straight face.Nikki shook her head. "As you can tell, Mister Hart is only one of my audiences, and we've never overstepped our boundaries, so I'm not the wom

    Vicky stood there and asked, "What are you getting at?"Nikki looked slightly hesitant. From their previous conversation, she knew Vicky was a hard nut to crack. Vicky was indeed a formidable character, so anything less than substantial was not going to make Vicky crumble.Nikki took a deep breath and said seriously, "Mister Hart is keeping his heart for someone special, and it's not you. He'll never love you.""And you think you're that someone?" Vicky questioned."I'm not sure whether he'll ever fall in love with me, but I'm pretty sure my chance is definitely higher than yours," Nikki replied."Based on?" Vicky asked.Nikki stared at Vicky. "I know he's not ever going to fall in love with me at my current stage, but you know that? That's fine. Because I'm willing to wait. I'm willing to make sacrifices. I'm willing to take a shot…"Here, she smiled wryly. "I'm even willing to be a substitute or a shadow of the special person in his heart."Vicky's pupils wavered. "A substitu

    "Mister Hart would never have married you in the first place if Sheila was really his true love. In fact, I heard the two of you got married not long after Sheila injured her hand."'She's one h*ll of a smart cookie, but…' Vicky thought to herself. She suddenly smiled meaningfully. "Miss Mayland, do you know how Sheila injured her hand?"Nikki had hired someone to look into the matter, but that person came up with nothing, so she had no idea how Sheila injured her hand.Suddenly, a chill ran up Nikki's spine. "It was you, wasn't it?"Vicky did not admit it, nor did she deny it either. She warned Nikki instead. "Miss Mayland, my husband helped you out when you were in danger. Because of that, no one in this bar dares to harass you anymore. How does the saying go again? Oh, that's right — 'don't bite the hand that feeds you'. We don't expect you to return the favor, but at the very least, you should keep your hands off my husband."Nikki did not expect Vicky to be still so stubbor

    While Sebastian and Vicky were talking, Vicky's phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone. It was a call from Cece. Then, she stood up and said, "Excuse me. I need to take this.""Sure," replied Sebastian softly.Vicky went into a quiet corner and answered the phone."Vicky," came Cece's voice from the other end of the phone. "Have you been to that bar lately?""No. What's wrong?" Vicky asked.Cece lowered her voice and answered, "Something happened at the bar."Vicky's eyes flashed. "What happened?""Nikki resigned!""She resigned?" Vicky frowned. "Why?""I don't know the exact reason, either. At first, I heard she called in sick for a few days. Then the next thing I heard was that she had resigned. Everyone in the bar is saying that you went to give her a lecture that day and forced her to resign."Vicky tried to process Cece's words before simply saying, "Alright. I understand."After that, they talked for a while before hanging up the phone.On the way back to her tab

    Vicky followed Tyler in order to figure out what was really going on. Tyler simply took a glance at her coldly and said nothing.-In the clinic, the doctor and a nurse were persuading Nikki to receive treatment for her injured hand."Miss Mayland, the cuts on your fingers might become infected if we don't treat them now. You're a pianist! What if you can't play—""Let them be infected. I rather they rot than for them to be a thorn in someone else's side," interjected Nikki."Nikki, you shouldn't do that to your body. You only ever get one body in this lifetime…" the waitress uttered."Well, someone won’t stop giving me a hard time until my body is buried six feet under," Nikki replied.Suddenly, the door to the clinic swung open, and a woman's voice asked, "Miss Mayland, are you perhaps talking about me?"Nikki instinctively looked toward the door. Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the handsome man standing behind Vicky."Mister Hart!" exclaimed Nikki. No one could t

    [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

    As Anthony and Jennifer grew up in Lovian, and their families had deep roots there, they had to stay at Lovian as well. However, whenever they had free time, Jennifer often returned to Stoneford City to meet her friends for gatherings and meals.Vicky's birthday was approaching in a few days, and Jennifer came back early for the occasion.Lufian, on the other hand, became the darling of the group, and everyone loved him. Thus, one of the highlights of visiting Zendonia was to see Lufian.On this day, Vicky had some free time and decided to go to the airport to fetch Jennifer.Harvey held Lufian and walked out of Vicky's mansion.He had also come back early to celebrate Vicky's birthday. Like everyone else, he adored Lufian.

    "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? A kid would make a good companion for Lufian.""I'd like to, but I haven't found the right person," Gloria lamented.Gloria had been single for years.
