Tyler disliked crowded places, so instead of taking Vicky to the park, he went on a stroll down the roads around.Though they were not in a park, the environment around them was peaceful and refreshing. However, there was no sign of joy on her face. There was only sorrow in her eyes.She hated Tyler and desperately wanted to kill him. At the same time, she feared him and knew she was powerless against him.She was forced to wear a heart rate monitor around her wrist, and a minor spike in her heart rate would alert Nikki.Vicky no longer had the choice to take her life, because Tyler might make her stay in the bed for the rest of her life as he promised."By the way." Tyler broke the silence. "I found our wedding rings."He took out a familiar-looking ring from his pocket, and her breath caught in her throat at the sight.Tyler bent down and took her hand before putting the ring she had once thrown away onto her ring finger with his long, slim fingers.Their wedding rings glitte
The night view outside the mansion was splendid, and Vicky used to enjoy the view from the window. At this moment, however, she lost all ability to appreciate the view.She lowered her gaze and muttered, "I want to take a bath."Tyler kept his arms around her. "Don't you love watching the view outside the window?""I want to take a bath now.""The bath is still running."She fell into silence.Their reflection in the window was entangled together, but despite how close they were physically, their hearts were miles away....Tyler bathed her in the bathroom, and since it was not the first time he had done it, she got used to it.However, lust would flash in his eyes occasionally when he looked at her, and she could not help but tense and shiver under those eyes.Tyler mistook it as a sign that she was cold and asked, "Are you feeling cold?""A little…""Let's get you out, then."Vicky could only bathe in the bathtub in her state and could no longer use the shower.She woul
"I don't want to go..." Vicky muttered.Tyler interrupted her and said, "It's settled."She scowled in frustration and did not respond.He leaned closer and buried his nose into the crook of her neck as he muttered, "You smell wonderful, Vicky."She turned her head away to get away from him, but she had nowhere to run to when she could not even walk—and he was pressing his body against hers.Suppressing the disgust boiling within her, she said in a calm tone, "You must be exhausted. Get some rest."The quiver of her voice exposed her true emotions, and Tyler chuckled. "Vicky, do you really think that I keep you around for nothing?""I don't mean that..." Her eyes darted around. "I just think that you should rest because you've just come home..."He lowered his head to stare at her with his ink-black eyes. "But I don't want to rest." He caressed her cheek and said, "You're ovulating today, right?"Shocked, her eyes widened and thought, 'Why does he know about this? Could he…'
Vicky was like a pet to Tyler. He could treat her however he wanted and disregard her feelings or thoughts.…After they had their lunch, Tyler took her out as he said. Vicky's disability meant she needed Tyler's assistance to either carry her or she had to use the wheelchair. Regardless, she was the center of attention.When she entered a high-end fashion clothing shop, the people around her began whispering. However, they were not mocking her for being wheelchair-bound or other hateful comments, but instead…"Oh my god, that pretty lady's husband loves her a lot. Did you see the way he carried her from the car and how he looked at her all the while? I can feel how much he loved her!""I know, I saw it too! He loves her so badly that he was afraid he'd hurt her or something. He cares for her so much, and urgh, I'm so jealous!""He looked very focused, not even minding his wife's disability. He's not like those egoistic men who wouldn't even care and help their wives when they ac
Jade knew her place and walked to the side, allowing some space for the couple.However, Tyler did not return to Vicky's side. Instead, a young, beautiful salesgirl followed him from behind with a visible blush on her cheeks.Vicky was confused. "What's going on?"Tyler looked at her. "If you like this pair of shoes, why don't you try them?"It was then Vicky noticed the salesgirl was wearing a pair of white gloves and had a pair of silver high heels in her hands. It was the same pair she laid her eyes on. Nonetheless, it was probably because she looked at the heels a few seconds longer than the others.Tyler would not have noticed her interest had he not been monitoring her.The salesgirl placed the high heels on the floor. Just as she was about to help Vicky to put it on, Tyler stopped her."It's alright," he said faintly. "She doesn't like strangers touching her. I'll do it."The salesgirls gave Vicky an envious look and stepped away.Tyler bent down to take off Vicky's sho
Since Vicky had that thought in her mind, she made an effort to reach for the crutch on the side. She was not used to walking with the crutch, so she was slow with it. There were even times that she nearly fell because the crutch got in her way and nearly tripped her.The first-aid kit was just in the living room, not too far from her. Despite that short distance, it took her a while to reach.After she found the contraceptive pill, she took two out and was ready to eat it without water. Just as she was about to put them into her mouth, she stopped all of a sudden and stared at the two pills in her palms.Appearance-wise, the pills looked the same as the ones she ate before. As she looked closely, however, the shape of the pills looked slightly different.Being a fashion designer, she had a keen eye for detail. Just one look was enough for her to tell the difference.The last time she ate the medicine, she did not know Tyler was the masked man. When she followed Tyler on a busines
Vicky did not exert a lot of strength as she bit Tyler, but she still bit hard.Tyler began to bleed from the wound, and blood stained Tyler's white shirt.When the metallic taste reached her taste buds, Vicky snapped out of her stupor. 'What am I doing?!'There was nothing she could do to defend herself against Tyler, yet she could not control herself due to the sheer rage.'How… How is he going to punish me this time?' she whimpered.The thought of facing cruel consequences and punishment appeared in her mind. Her body started to tremble as she looked at Tyler fearfully.Tyler looked down at her pale face and mocked, "Weren't you trying to kill me when you bit me? Why are you so afraid now?"Vicky tried to curl up into a ball, and she found herself unable to run as Tyler hoisted her into his arms.Tyler sneered and carried her out of the room.…Tyler did not treat her any differently even when they dined in the dining room. Nonetheless, Vicky was in constant fear, not kno
When did this start? Why was she suddenly unable to withstand people staring at her?Just then, Tyler seemed to notice something. He stood behind Vicky and meaningfully said, "I'm here. They can't do anything to you."Vicky did not reply. As days passed, she found herself becoming quieter. She felt like she was just Tyler's toy and had lost herself.After staying in the hall for a while, Vicky finally caved, unable to stand everyone looking at her. She said, "I want to go to the garden for fresh air."Tyler was not really a bad-tempered man. As long as it was reasonable, he would not reject her request. Thus, he nodded. "Okay."The night was dark. Despite that, the garden looked exceptionally pretty and quiet.Vicky looked at the fountain not too far from them, but her thoughts wandered far away.'I'm ovulating this week, but Tyler didn't use any prevention every night. Am I…going to be pregnant with his child?' she thought.It was clear that when Tyler said he wanted a child…h
