Vicky came to a sudden halt.She remembered their anniversary before Jennifer's birthday, but since Jennifer was admitted to the hospital and she had been busy taking care of Jennifer, Vicky completely forgot about it.She walked over to Tyler and said apologetically, "Tyler, I'm sorry. I... I forgot that it's our anniversary today."The man turned around to look at her. "You've lost your memories, so it's normal that you'd forget."He remained expressionless and his tone remained flat, but Vicky could still tell that he was upset.They both knew she did not forget about their anniversary because of her amnesia.Vicky sat down across from Tyler and said, "Jennifer has been unconscious for the past few days, and she suddenly woke up just now. I was in such a hurry to get the doctor's help that I forgot about our date..."Tyler did not respond to it and simply waved the waiter over expressionlessly. "Start serving."As they waited for their food, Vicky tried to initiate a convers
"Put my ring on for me."Vicky lifted her gaze to look at Tyler, who stood tall before her, blocking all the lights and fireworks behind him. A shadow loomed over his features.Vicky picked up the remaining ring and carefully put it onto his ring finger.It fitted perfectly as well.Once the two exchanged rings, the waiter smiled and said, "We hereby wish for many more years of joy and happiness for you, Mister Hart, Missus Hart."With that, the waiter bowed respectfully and left.Vicky stared at the rings on their hands and how their hands were joined. She felt as though they were at a wedding."This is my gift to you for our fourth anniversary." Tyler looked at her intently. "Do you like it?"She nodded. "I do.""If you do, don't ever take it off."She beamed. "Sure."Throughout the four years they were married, they had always been struggling with their relationship, and Tyler never bothered to wear a wedding band.They finally reached a point where neither of them wante
In the past month, Vicky and Tyler shared the same bed, but Tyler had not made any advance on her.It was not that he no longer desired her, but Vicky had been severely traumatized since she returned from Forever Night.She would either lose sleep or suffer from nightmares, and though she was making progress with therapy, she would still back away from Tyler's touch.Tyler knew that she was struggling to overcome her demons and did not push her.It was their fourth anniversary, and though she forgot about it, Tyler remembered and went to the lengths of planning a surprise for her.She had arrived late and upset Tyler, so she felt that intimacy might be the way she could compensate him, especially since she was recovering with the help of her therapist.Intimacy was inevitably the tie that kept a marriage together, so she did not back away and wrapped her arms around his neck.Tyler deepened the kiss when suddenly, the ringing of a phone interrupted them.Ring!Vicky pushed Tyl
"Vicky, Lily Foster is here as well," Cece hissed, "and she is fanning the fire here... Jennifer has just woken up, and Anthony brought that goody-two-shoes here to upset her!"Not daring to delay any further, Vicky said, "Don't panic. I'm coming." She covered the speaker and said to Tyler, "I'm leaving."Without waiting for his response, Vicky rushed out of the room.As the door closed, the look in Tyler's eyes darkened....By the time everything was settled on Jennifer's end, it was already after midnight.Knowing that Vicky was afraid of the dark, Cece took a taxi to send Vicky home.The car stopped outside the mansion, and Vicky opened the door to step out when Cece asked, "Do you need me to walk you inside, Vicky?""It's fine." Vicky smiled. "I'm not that scared of the dark anymore.""But...""I came alone, didn't I? Did I look scared to you just now?"Cece bowed her head sheepishly. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble again, Vicky.""Had I not gone missing, Jennifer w
Vicky let go of the box, and the mask inside fell onto the floor with a loud thud.Her blood ran cold at the sight of the mask. Her lashes fluttered, and she started to feel lightheaded from the intense fear.Her nightmare had returned."Vicky?"Both Cece and Jennifer turned to look at her in shock.Though the mask looked devilish, it was not special in any way. They could not understand why Vicky would react this way.Vicky tried her best to control her emotions, but she could not help but shiver.Jennifer sensed that something was wrong and shot Cece a pointed look.Cece immediately picked up the mask and placed it back into the box before sealing the box once again. "It's...a pretty creepy mask. I guess this is one of the horror-themed boxes.""Yeah. I was scared for a moment there as well," Jennifer agreed."Vicky, you stayed with Jennifer the whole night last night, right? You must be exhausted. Go home and rest. I'll stay with her tonight," Cece said.Ever since Tyler
A familiar, altered voice came from the speaker. "It's been a while, Miss Shaw. Have you been well?"Vicky tried her best to stay calm but failed to control the shivering of her voice. "What do you want?"The man chuckled. "I've come to Stoneford City for a business trip, and since you live here as well, I decided that we should meet up for old times' sake."Vicky's ruffled breathing could be heard through the phone as she questioned, "How did you get my number?""Is that supposed to be difficult?" the man drawled. "I should thank you for giving me all your personal details back then."He was right. Vicky had given a lot of personal information about herself when she sought the masked man's help to escape Forever Night.Since she was also Tyler's wife, it was extremely easy to track her down.Vicky clenched her fists until her fingers turned pale. "Sir, I've left Forever Night, and I no longer belong to them. If you've looked into me, you should know that.""Well, you aren't ly
The video on the screen was completely black, but the sounds had been magnified multiple times."If you want revenge, I can help!"You know, I hate Tyler Hart, too. That’s why I want to divorce him. If...you can help me get away, I—I can spy on him for you and get you whatever you want from him...""Do you hate him that much?""Yes, I hate him! He messes around with other women yet threatens me in all ways possible to prevent me from leaving. By the way..."…"I still have a few more videos on my phone. I can send them to you if you'd like to see them."All of Vicky's exaggerated accusations of how ruthless Tyler was came into the ear, before her speech about how Tyler was incompetent in bed.Her voice was laced with hatred, and the resentment on her face could be seen under the faint light.Vicky's blood froze.The video was lengthy and captured the entire conversation between her and the masked man.Before she could watch the entire video, her phone rang, and the video was
...At eight that night, Vicky arrived before Room 1331 with a key card she received from the receptionist, but she simply could not summon the courage to step inside.Just then, her phone vibrated, and she saw a text message on her phone.[Are you waiting for me to call Tyler Hart before coming inside?]Vicky's heart sank, and she immediately pushed the door open.Darkness loomed over the room, and there was only a dim light by the couch where she could see a man sitting.The man's shadow twisted under the light, and the familiar sight took her memories back to Forever Night as all the details she tried to forget came rushing back to her.She froze in place, unable to step forward."Why are you just standing there?" the man asked. "Should I come over to bring you in?"Vicky clenched her fists and walked inside reluctantly.He studied her with his dark, brooding gaze under the mask and said, "You look better than you were in Forever Night. It looks like you've been having the
