As she focused on filtering the documents, the phone she placed on the desk started ringing.

Ring!

Vicky was startled by the sudden sound and took some time to calm her racing heart.

When she saw Tyler's name on the screen, she twitched and answered the call right before it automatically ended.

"Tyler…" she whispered, her hand trembling as she held onto the phone.

"Nanny Paterson said you didn't eat much today." His familiar voice came from the other end of the line. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine. I just...didn't sleep well."

"Nightmares?"

"Yeah."

"Why are they starting again all of a sudden?" Tyler's voice turned into a low growl. "I'll call Doctor Grimes to pay you a visit later."

Doctor Grimes was the therapist who had been counseling Vicky.

Vicky felt a lump in her throat at the concern in his voice.

"I guess... I'm having a hard time adjusting to you going on a business trip."

Tyler remained quiet for a few moments and said, "I'll try my best to handle everythin

    The light in the living room flickered, and his shadow stretched and twisted in the most peculiar way.Tension rose in the air, and Vicky instinctively clenched her fists."I've gone through the documents," the man said emotionlessly. "You gave me the list of employees and their respective departments... Are you trying to get me to work there?"Vicky looked away. "I'm a designer, not a businesswoman. I don't know much about the company and...I thought that these were plans for Hart Corporation and copied them.""What about finance reports, bidding reports, and contracts the company had signed before?""I didn't see any.""Really?""Really." Vicky tried her best to sound as sincere as she could. "Tyler is a skeptical man, and he's going to place the important documents in encrypted files. I'm not a hacker, and I can't possibly find them. These are all I found."The man chuckled. "Vicky Shaw, do you take me for a fool?""Sir, I don't understand...""You are a designer and it is

    "Next time? Do I look like someone who gives second chances?""I promise that this won't happen again—""Your promise is worth nothing to me," the masked man interrupted Vicky impatiently.He had said something similar before.When she was stuck in Forever Night, she sought his help, and he said that her gratitude meant nothing to him.Realization dawned on Vicky, and she backed away.Amused by Vicky's wariness, the man said, "You can leave whenever you want. Leave with my phone, if you want to. I have plenty of phones, and I can always replace them."He did not go after him, but his words alone were enough to push her over to the edge of a mental breakdown.Tears welled in her eyes as she muttered, "Sir, can you please...just give me one more chance?""No," he said cruelly.Despair filled her heart as she thought to herself, 'What should I do? What am I supposed to do?'Sensing that she was about to break, he drawled, "Miss Shaw, you chose this. You have no one else to blam

    The next morning, Vicky was woken up by the ringing of her phone. She fumbled for her phone and answered. "Hello...""Still sleeping?" A cold, melodious voice came from the phone."Tyler?" Vicky jolted awake and said, "Is…something wrong?"After a brief moment of silence, he said, "I texted you this morning and you didn't reply, so I was worried about you."'This morning?' She repeated inwardly and glanced at the time to find that it was already twelve at noon.When Vicky did not respond, Tyler added, "I called Nanny Paterson, and she said you're not at home. Did you not go home last night?"She started panting heavily at the memories of the night before."I... I stayed in the hospital with Jennifer last night, so I didn't go home."Tyler knew that Vicky had gone to spend nights with Jennifer in the hospital in his absence and did not suspect a word she said."You've been up all night taking care of Jennifer again, haven't you?" he asked.Vicky tried her best to comb through

    Vicky closed her eyes and dialed back after a few minutes.Beep, beep, beep…The call was answered shortly after, but the man did not say a word, so Vicky spoke first, "I was occupied just now and didn't hear my phone ringing."A voice altered by a voice changer came through the line. "Did you not hear it, or did not simply wish that you didn't hear it?""I didn't hear it."The man did not argue on the matter and asked, "Have you decided how you're going to accomplish your mission tonight, Miss Shaw?""Do I have to meet you tonight as well?" She panted heavily. "Are... Are you asking me to meet with you every single night?""That's right.""Tyler isn't in Stoneford City right now and I can go out to meet you, but he'll be back in a few days! By then—""How is that my problem?" interjected the man curtly.Vicky froze."I'll be waiting for you in the same hotel," said the man before ending the call without giving her the chance to react....At eight that night, Vicky remain

    At first, Vicky thought that she was dreaming of Tyler, but it all felt too real to be a dream.She opened her eyes abruptly and sobered when she saw the dark figure before her.Realization dawned on her that it was not a dream, and she instantly recognized the man in her room.It was the masked man.They could not see much of one another in the dark, but their eyes reflected the light and shimmered."Why... Why are you here?" Vicky gaped at the figure.For a moment, she wondered if she was still asleep.After a few moments of silence, the altered voice echoed inside the room. "You've extended an invitation to me, Miss Shaw. I would be rude if I don't come over here.""When have I ever invited you here?!""You didn't show up at the hotel. Isn't that your way of inviting me to your house?"Vicky shivered in rage and said, "You're imagining it!""So be it," he said casually.Vicky was so shocked by the sight of the man that she forgot where she was for a moment.

    'Was it all just a dream?' she thought. 'That's right. It must be.'She sat up and was about to go to the bathroom when she noticed something in the corner of her eye.She froze at the sight of a demon mask next to her bed and felt her blood run cold.Just then, her phone on the nightstand vibrated, and she unlocked it to find an unread message.[Are you coming to me tonight, or should I come to you?]All strength was instantly drained from her, and she started shivering.Since she had not replied to the message, the phone started ringing. She felt numb as she stared at the number on the screen.The call was automatically dropped sometime later, and the screen turned black.A few minutes later, the screen lit up again, but she had not answered any of the calls.She remained frozen in place and ignored the relentless ringing of her phone.She did not know how long had passed, but the phone eventually stopped ringing.Knock, knock!Just then, someone knocked on the door, and

    "No." Vicky sniffled and added, "I've probably caught a cold.""Take care of yourself."Another tear dropped at Tyler's words. "Yeah. You too." Worried that she might not be able to contain her emotions, she said, "I'm about to go downstairs to eat, so let's end the call here..."Before she could hang up, Tyler called out to her, "Vicky.""Yes? What is it?""Are you really alright?""Of course," she said in the most cheerful manner she could manage. "I'm just tormented by a nightmare and haven't been able to sleep... Don't worry about me. I'll get better soon.""Okay."After breakfast, Vicky collected herself and went to visit Jennifer in the hospital.She felt dazed and did not know what she was thinking or what she should do.Everything was spinning out of control, and she had not expected the masked man to be mad enough to break into her house.Even if Tyler had been understanding, he would never tolerate her if he was told that she had been with someone else, and she wou

    Vicky walked out of the hospital, but she wandered on the street instead of going home.Vicky used to feel secure at home, but it recently became suffocating to stay home as well.Honk!Hearing the honk of a car, she looked up to find a car racing toward her. She had been in her head the entire time and could not react in time, so it was too late to dodge.Screech!The car came to a sudden halt, and the people around gasped. The car was at too high a speed to stop immediately.Just when everyone thought that Vicky was about to be sent flying, someone pulled her backward abruptly, and the car raced by."Thank you." Vicky turned to look at the person who helped her.Harvey gazed down at her. "Vicky, what happened?"He had never seen her in such a terrible state before."I'm fine," she said. "I just haven’t been sleeping well."Harvey had known Vicky for long enough to spot her lie and said, "Vicky, you don't look like you're just suffering from the lack of sleep."She had not

    [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? 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.
