Tyler remained composed. "It's all in the past. What's the point of bringing that up now?"Vicky clenched her fists. "I've lost my memories! You know that, don't you? Why didn't you tell me?"He studied her flushed cheeks and said, "Am I supposed to tell you that you practically attached yourself to me after that night? You kept causing trouble using that night we spent together as your leverage and even..." He paused. "Do whatever you can to sleep with me again.""That's impossible!" she blurted out."That night, you were kidnapped by Harvey's enemy, but so was Gloria. He was given the choice of saving only one, and he went to Gloria's rescue instead. I helped you out of pity so that you wouldn't end up in the hands of those degenerates."She scowled. "But you were the one who made me choose between Easton and you...""I was just saying that to scare you. I didn't expect you to agree to it without putting up a fight." He walked over and pinned her against the bed as he looked do
"No." Vicky's heart raced as Tyler closed in on her. "Don't push me, Tyler! Or—""Or, what?" Tyler questioned coldly. "Or you'll kill yourself?"She panted heavily, and tears began to pool in her eyes."Try killing yourself, and I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death," he said mercilessly.The resentment in Vicky's eyes deepened, and she grabbed the lamp next to her before flinging it at Tyler.He simply tilted his head to the side, and the lamp flew past him.She grabbed a glass and threw it at him, but he managed to dodge it again.Vicky was throwing whatever she could get her hands on to stop the man from approaching, but Tyler was swift and got right up to her in a few long strides.Vicky refused to submit to him and fought him with all her might. "Tyler, you trash! You are a pervert! Let me go! I'm not your pet!"His expression darkened at her resistance. "You put on an act of being submissive for the past two days. I assume that was just to get my guard down so tha
Vicky turned around blankly. "Just kill me, Tyler!"She had not eaten or drunk anything for the entire day, and her voice was extremely hoarse.Contrary to her frantic state, Tyler remained composed and shot her a look before making a call. "Bring dinner in."Nanny Paterson was replaced by a strange young woman on the duty of looking after her. The woman seemed ordinary, but she appeared swift and agile, so it was easy to tell that she was trained.During the day, the woman came with the food without saying a single word. Vicky knew that the woman was not there to care for her, but to supervise her instead.A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door.Knock, knock!Tyler got up and brought two trays of food inside; one for him and the other for Vicky.The food was steaming, and the trays were filled with Vicky's favorite dishes, which Tyler had clearly communicated with the woman ahead of time.Tyler walked over and said coldly, "Are you eating on your own, or do you need
"Yes."Vicky smiled coldly. "She is back. You know that, right?"Tyler's eyebrow twitched slightly. "I do.""Since the woman you love is back, her substitute should get out of the picture. Have you...not considered rekindling the romance with her?"Tyler looked away for a split second before regaining his composure. "Since I've already chosen you, I won't choose another."She chuckled. "I don't think you're determined not to choose another...but that she might not pick you, right? If she chooses to be with you, will you still say those words?"He moved his lips to speak but fell into silence in the end.Vicky understood what he meant and kept her eyes trained on him, despite the sorrow within her. "Tyler, there isn't a woman on earth who enjoys being with a married man. I know that you feel uncertain if she will be with you even if you divorce me...but I can tell you that she'll never be with you for as long as you're married to me. You'll still stand a chance if you divorce me,
Vicky refused to eat and had not ingested any food apart from the water she had been forced to take by Tyler.She was stuck in a marriage she did not want, but she refused to be kept like a pet.In merely two days, Vicky lost tremendous weight, and Tyler resorted to giving Vicky injections with the necessary nutrients. However, the injections could only keep her alive for so long, and Vicky was fading away as she fought back for her life.Eventually, Tyler returned home one day and said, "Vicky, I told you that you'd meet a fate worse than death if you try to kill yourself. You clearly didn't listen, so let's see how stubborn you can be."...After leaving the room, Harry brought over a group of doctors in white coats."Mister Hart, I've brought them here and interviewed each of them myself. They're all skilled actors and have played doctors countless times in the past, so one can hardly distinguish them from real doctors."Tyler glanced at the actors. "You will be rewarded if y
"You'll know if I dare to," Tyler said coldly and carried Vicky outside.She felt chills down her spine and thought to herself, 'Why would I be stupid enough to challenge if he dares to do it? He's a lunatic, and there's nothing he won't do. He did say that he'll make me pay if I try to run again and he is a man of his word. If he dared to break Alex's legs, he'd do anything he wanted to an orphaned daughter who had no support from her family, just like how he doesn't have to face any consequences for chaining me up in this mansion.'Tears filled her eyes. "Tyler, you can't do this to me. I don't owe you anything.""Ha." He laughed and kept his dark eyes on her. "How dare you say you don't owe me anything?"Disgust filled his face as he recalled the past and gritted out, "You can never repay me enough for what you owe me."The car was already waiting outside the mansion, and when Tyler appeared with Vicky at the entrance, Harry immediately opened the car door for them. Tyler went
The car soon arrived at the hospital, and Tyler carried Vicky out of the car.The sunlight shone on his face, casting a shadow over his alluring features.Vicky could no longer remember why she fell in love with the man before her nor could she recall why she started developing feelings for the man again after losing her memories.The scent of sanitizer in the air filled her nose, and she knew the consequences she would face if she continued to be stubborn, so she whimpered, "I... I was wrong."Tyler paused and looked at her.Her eyes were red, but there were no tears when she met his eyes and continued, "I was wrong. I won't... I won't run again."In the end, she caved.Tyler studied her for a few moments and chuckled. "Do you think that I'll forgive you every time you make a mistake if you just apologize?""No...""No?" The look in his eyes was chilling. "You seem to have no qualms about disobeying me, though.""I promise that I won't do it again.""Your promise means noth
Vicky stared at Tyler and waited for his response.He looked at her thoughtfully. "Do you really admit to your mistakes?""Yes. I know that I was wrong.""And you won't do it again.""I won't. This is the last time."He studied the hope in her eyes and said, "I still think that the surgery gives me more security compared to your promise."She froze, and the hope in her eyes faded. She stared at him and whispered, "Were you toying with me?"He lifted an eyebrow but did not deny it. "That's right.""Is it fun to toy with me?""It's fun, but most importantly, I want you to have a taste of what it's like to be toyed with," Tyler said casually. "At least I didn't promise you something, only to break that promise, did I?"He started marching forward again, and Vicky could no longer suppress her emotions. "Why won't you just kill me, Tyler?! Who are you to do this to me?! How dare you?!""I can do this because I'm your husband!" he said.Soon, the two arrived at the surgery room w
