Chapter 536

Author: Debbie Meza
Tyler's eyes were dark and mysterious as he stared at Vicky dazedly.

Vicky's blood ran cold as she thought to herself, 'Gloria is still here, and he's already looking at me this way simply because I dressed like her?'

Just then, they heard footsteps approaching, and Gloria stared at the two who were standing by the door. "Vicky, Selene, why are you two standing by the door?"

Selene shot Vicky a contemptuous look and walked over to grab Gloria by the arm. "I got the wrong person because you lent her your dress... Still, I think you look best in these sorts of dresses, and anyone else who wears them just looks like a clown!"

It was indeed true that suitable styles would outline one's beauty to the full extent.

Vicky ignored Selene's sarcasm and strode into the room.

Once Vicky and Gloria took their seats, they started discussing the details that would go into Gloria's dress.

Though Gloria often dressed in elegant style, a concert was a different occasion, so Vicky suggested, "Duri

    Maestro Warner smiled. "Judging from the wedding bands on your hands, it's hard not to notice."Tyler froze and lowered his gaze to the ring on his finger....Tyler sent Maestro Warner back to the hotel as soon as the rain stopped, while Selene remained on the second floor under Gloria's command. Vicky was able to swiftly make her notes without Selene's interruption.It was already eleven at night when everything was finished, and Vicky got up to leave."It's late now. Do you want to stay the night here?" Gloria offered as she had decided to rest in the studio."No, thank you," Vicky said.Gloria was not surprised by her answer and simply walked her to the door. "This is sort of a remote area, and you should call a taxi after walking down the road for ten minutes. That'll take you to the main road."Vicky nodded. "Thank you. You should go back and rest."Vicky and Gloria remained a certain level of civility, but both knew that there was far more to their relationship.Gloria

    "That was then, and this is now," said Vicky expressionlessly. "People change. I might want pasta today, and steak tomorrow. It's the same thing." She paused and added, "If you really want someone in your car... Gloria is still in her studio and hasn't been able to rest so far. I'm sure she'll gladly say yes if you offer to send her home.""I'm not here for her."Vicky looked at him and asked, "Is there something you would like to discuss, then, if you're waiting for me here late at night? Can it be that...the divorce paperwork has been finalized?"He narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip around her waist. "Divorce?""Isn't that the case?""No."She felt confused and asked, "So what is it, then?"After a few moments of silence, he said, "I'm here to bring you home.""That's it?""Yeah.""That won't be necessary," she said coldly. "I'm an adult and I work late all the time anyway. It's not like I've never returned home at this time before, so you don't need to give me a lif

    Vicky's eyes widened in shock when Tyler leaned closer. "Tyler Hart, what do you think you're doing?!"There was not much space in the car, and she was left with nowhere to run with Tyler's body pressed against hers.He sneered at the fear in her eyes and said, "You were the one who said that this is a quiet spot perfect for a secret date, no?"Without giving her the chance to respond, he captured her lips....Sometime later, it started to rain again, and the sound of raindrops falling onto the windows echoed in the house.Inside the bathroom, steam filled the room and clouded the mirror.Vicky was rubbing her skin until it turned red, but she failed to erase the marks on her body. Still, she repeated the motion as though she felt no pain.She felt disgusted like she never felt before.What happened between Tyler and Gloria earlier that morning filled her mind, and though they did not cross the line, it was all the same to Vicky. Seeing them together in real life was far wors

    "I'm tired and I want to go to bed early..." Vicky lowered her eyes, not wanting to look at Tyler, but he lifted her chin and stared at her with his deep, dark eyes.His eyes were like two bottomless pools of clear water that threatened to draw her soul in, and there were no emotions or lust in those eyes at all."Vicky, this is your duty as a wife."'Duty?' she thought bitterly. 'Married couples have the duty to stay loyal to each other, but did he do that?'The steam in the bathroom made it hard to breathe."I'm not your pet, and I have the right to refuse. Besides..." Vicky's eyes glittered under the light. "I don't think couples that are about to get divorced should have to adhere to these duties, do they?""No?" The look in his eyes darkened. "Have you forgotten about what happened just now?"Her expression darkened and he reached out to caress the skin on her neck. Her skin was fair, so the marks he left on her neck stood out."Besides, when have I ever mentioned that I w

    When Vicky woke up the next day, Tyler was nowhere to be found.She felt dizzy and ill when she got out of bed and realized that she might have caught a cold from standing in the room for two hours. Nonetheless, Vicky found some medicine at home and took them before going to work.Once all the discussion about Gloria's dresses had been finalized, she would need to start drawing designs and bring them to Gloria to see if any amendments were required.She proceeded to the studio despite feeling ill and assigned the designing of three of the dresses to Cece.Since Gloria had asked for several dresses and there was an imminent deadline, Vicky could not complete everything alone.After working for Vicky for years, Cece had already become a skilled designer herself."Ugh!" Vicky coughed as she drew the draft for the designs."Vicky, are you okay?" Jennifer walked over worriedly. "You look so pale. Are you falling sick?""Just a little cold, but I'm fine. I've already taken some medic

    Gloria glanced through the drafts and was in awe, not expecting Vicky's designs to be so refreshing and unique.She only hired Vicky's service because she was recommended by a friend; she never imagined that Vicky was excelling as a fashion designer.She suggested a few points for improvement, but not much was to be changed. The discussion ended an hour later.As they walked out of the cafe, Gloria said, "I have something scheduled after this, so I'll get going now.""Sure." Vicky nodded.The two were about to go their separate ways when a black car with no license plate stopped before them.Before they had the time to react, a few men darted out of the car and covered their noses with white handkerchiefs.Without any chance to resist, they instantly lost consciousness....The sea breeze blew past Vicky's body.She felt cold and since she was still recovering from her cold, she started coughing."Ugh! Ack!" She coughed, and someone immediately placed a warm jacket on her sh

    Alex smiled and said, "It's good that you're here, though. Seeing how things unfold with your eyes will definitely feel way better than seeing it on videos."Contrary to Tyler's quiet restrained character, Harvey's playfulness, and Sebastian's gentleness, Alex seemed more straightforward.After seeing him in her dream before, Vicky did not see him as a stranger."Better?" She frowned. "What are you going to do?"He smirked coldly as he looked at Vicky. "Vicky, I'm going to make Gloria and Tyler pay for the pain they've caused you. I'll let Tyler know that I'm not the same man as I was four years ago.""Are you...plotting revenge against him?""That comes second. My top priority is to make things right for you."She recalled the time when Alex had his legs broken and twitched. "Alex, calm down," she said. "Tyler isn't as easily fooled as you think he is. You—""I know that I can't hold a candle to his wit and slyness, but..." he interrupted, sneering. "Everyone has a weakness, a

    It did not seem to be an appropriate question for Vicky to ask as Tyler broke Alex's legs because of her.Asking about it seemed like rubbing salt in Alex's wound, but not asking about it would make her seem heartless…and she truly did want to know if he had recovered.Alex smiled casually. "With modern technology, I've recovered a lot of time ago."In truth, he had just recently recovered because Tyler had beaten his legs with such brute force that he came close to being bound to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.His family had traveled all around the world in search of skilled doctors and finally managed to cure him some time ago. He would have never waited so long before coming back to rescue Vicky.Vicky stared at him. "Really?""Of course. When have I ever lied to you?"She relaxed. "Where is Gloria? I want to see her."Since Tyler had already been informed, Vicky realized that she would need to think of something else."Come on, then. I'll take you to her," said Ale

    [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.
