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
Vicky's promise to obey his every order was tempting, and Tyler narrowed his eyes slightly as he studied her face.Just then, one of the doctors asked, "Mister Hart, should we proceed?"Tyler sobered and backed away. "Proceed."His words were just as horrible as a death sentence to her, and Vicky fell into the depth of her despair as Tyler left."Tyler Hart, come back here! You can't do this to me! I didn't do anything wrong! You can't do this!"Tyler continued to walk away elegantly."Tyler, come back... I'm begging you. Don't do this to me..."Tyler did not turn around or pause at her plea and remained cold as though he did not possess any human emotions at all.As she watched him walk away, a surge of strength rose within her, and she fought off the doctors who were about to sedate her before jumping out of bed.However, that was all she could do, and she slammed onto the ground immediately."Missus Hart!"The doctors shouted as they did not expect Vicky to fight so hard.
A sheepish look appeared on Adam's face as though he read Harry's thoughts.Just as Harry was about to take the ticket back, Tyler accepted it.Before Adam could register what happened, Tyler turned to leave....Gloria's performance started at eight o'clock that night, and the entire hall was filled with guests.Gloria was a famous pianist. At the age of 25, she had become one of the most renowned pianists, and most people treated her with respect.The tickets to her performance would be sold out within a matter of seconds, and one could hardly come by the chance of watching her performance.On top of that, Gloria was the idol of all high-born ladies. Sheila might be an actress with great influence in show business, but she could not compare to Gloria.Members of the elite community often looked down on actors and actresses working in the entertainment business and admired artists and musicians instead.Regular people chased after singers and spent their money on concerts, wh
In a sophisticated restaurant, a couple sat across from one another.The warm candlelight wavered slightly between them, masking Tyler's handsome features in the shadow."Tyler, how have you been in the past years?" asked Gloria.Tyler nodded. "Good. How about you?"Gloria took a sip of her wine. "I thought leaving and starting a new page would help, but in truth..." She smiled bitterly. "I've just been running from reality. I've pretended like everything was alright, but I know that I'm not doing alright."The look in Tyler's eyes darkened.Under the dim light, Gloria's face lost its usual edges and seemed gentler.She was a beautiful woman, but contrary to Vicky's vibrant beauty, she had a more sophisticated and timeless beauty.She looked into his eyes and said, "That's why I came back. I wanted to relieve myself of this burden, and I...also want to see how you're doing."Tyler did not respond, and Gloria simply swirled the wine in her glass, the crimson color of the wine c
"On the day I was kidnapped, did you blame me for seeking help from Harvey instead of you?" A gloomy look appeared on Gloria's face. "I was furious when I found out about 'that incident', and since I've saved Harvey's life once, I wanted to give him the chance to make it even and break all ties with him. I just didn't expect it...Vicky to get kidnapped as well."Gloria was young and proud back then. She had always been the brightest star wherever she went and had countless pursuers, who included two of the most eligible bachelors of her generation: Tyler and Harvey.She had saved Harvey's life once, and from that day onward, she became his priority above all. He even confessed his love for her in public, making her the target of envy of all women in the city.She was not interested in Harvey and turned him down, but he continued to care for her as he had always done.After that, Tyler started pursuing her as well. Though his approach had not been as obvious as Harvey, everyone in t
Tyler paused, and his tone deepened. "What happened to her?""She fell onto the ground and won't let anyone near her. She's in a hysterical state right now, and the doctors can't get anywhere near her without injuring her.""I'm coming over now," Tyler said coldly.Once he ended the call, he turned to look at Gloria. "Something came up. I need to go."Just then, the waiter brought the dishes they ordered onto the table.Gloria studied the look on Tyler's face. "Did something happen?""Yeah.""Is this about Vicky?"Tyler nodded.She smiled. "If that's the case, you should go."He got up to leave, but he stilled when he walked past Gloria. He lowered his gaze at her and noticed she was staring at him unblinkingly as though she had been waiting for him to look at her."I'm sorry. I'll buy you dinner again when I have time," he said. After all, it had been him who invited her to dinner, only to abandon her in the restaurant.Gloria did not show any signs of displeasure and smil
Vicky looked at Tyler as though she was looking at someone who murdered her entire family. "You are a monster!" she snarled."What do you want to eat? I'll get someone to send it in."When she saw no sign of guilt on his face, hatred took over her, and she took out a broken piece of glass from her pocket before bringing it down toward Tyler's chest.She had quietly hidden a piece of the broken glass she shattered earlier, but just before the glass could pierce through the layers of clothes, Tyler caught her by the wrist easily.He did not seem surprised, and there were no emotions in his eyes.The sharp edges cut into the palm of Vicky's hand, and blood gushed out.He took the broken piece of glass away from her and snorted. "A glass like this can only injure me at best... It's far from enough to kill me.""Why won't you just kill me?!" Tears welled in her eyes and blurred her sight.She had thought that Tyler would not be so cruel, but reality proved she was far too naive to l
