Vicky was not surprised by Tyler's words, but after learning more about the past, she could not help but feel bitter.She shook his hand away impatiently and said, "I will never apologize to them.""Vicky, don't be so sure about that."Her lashes fluttered as she looked up at him.It was the first time she looked him in the eyes that day. "Why? Are you going to blackmail me again?""If it gets me what I want, why not?" he calmly replied."So you're asking me to apologize to them without even asking what happened?" Her eyes widened."I only believe what I see."She clenched her fists. "But what you see isn't always the truth."He lowered his gaze at her mercilessly. "It's the truth if I say it is."Vicky knew that she should calm down and explain herself to Tyler, because the truth would come out if he was willing to look into it.However, seeing how Tyler protected Gloria and Selene without question filled her head with anger.'If only Tyler didn't destroy my studio to make
Vicky hung her head low and wandered on the street.She lost track of time, and once all her anger escaped, it left behind sorrow and emptiness within her.She knew she had messed up everything.Alex and Jennifer needed her help, and Cece needed to salvage her reputation.She managed to find the truth but made the wrong move at the very last moment.Her body was completely drenched, and her slim figure looked as though it was about to be swallowed by the rain.She felt exhausted like she had never felt before.'I'm so tired...' she lamented, wondering if she felt the same way before she lost her memories.Her head hurt, and so did her heart as she felt like there was a hole in her chest.Her tears mixed with the rain that scrolled down her face, and she could not help but think of how much she wished she could go to sleep and never wake up again, so that she would not have to face all the hardships in life again.She did not notice, however, the car following her.Inside the
"I thought you were the one who played that song, so I thought it was a song that holds special meaning for the two of us... If you don't like it, you don't have to play that song again."Vicky jolted in shock as she did not expect this to be the reason for his love for the song.He pulled her into his arms. "Alright, Vicky. Let's not bring up a breakup again. It doesn't matter who it was in that garden."Tears welled in Vicky's eyes, and she summoned the determination to shove him away. "Tyler, you wanted a reason, and I gave it to you.""But I already said that it doesn't matter…"Her expression darkened as she interrupted him, "Tyler, do I really have to connect the dots for you?" She stared into his eyes. "All reasons are nothing but excuses. There is only ever one reason for couples to break up. I... I just don't love you anymore.""I don't believe you." He tightened his arms around her as though he was trying to merge their bodies so she would never be able to leave him. "I
"It doesn't matter if he can fight as long as I like him."Amused, Tyler questioned, "You like him? For what? How is he better than me?"Vicky lifted her chin. "He's the only son of the Canyers. You know the Canyer family, right? If I marry him, I'll be Missus Canyer. You know that I've lost both of my parents, and it's not easy for an orphan to survive in my family. I need someone powerful to back me up..." She studied him and said, "Your career is just taking off, and you can't help me."She knew Tyler's plan for the future. He did not intend on inheriting his family business and wanted to make a path of his own.He was only 22 and had achieved a certain level of accomplishment in Molivia. Still, it would be some time before Tyler had enough power to rival influential families in Stoneford City."Vicky, just give me some time." The look in Tyler's eyes darkened as he swallowed hard. "Five years... No, three years. Give me three years, and I'll give you everything you want."Vic
Vicky herself was shocked because she knew just how possessive Tyler was.He would get upset when passersby looked at her and get jealous when her childhood friend came to see her. His one and only wish seemed to be for her to know no man apart from him, so she did not expect him to accept such a condition.She only proposed such a term knowing he would not accept it, but Tyler surprised her by agreeing to it....Since Tyler had accepted the terms, Vicky knew just how to make him give up.One day after dinner with Noah, she stepped out of the restaurant to find Tyler leaning by the door with a cigarette lit between his fingers. The smoke hovered over his face and clouded his features.He put out the cigarette when he spotted her coming outside and ignored Noah to grab her hand. "It's getting late. I'll send you back.""..." Noah watched in silence.Vicky scowled. "I have something planned with Noah today..."Tyler pulled her toward his car as though he did not hear a single w
After a few moments, Tyler slowed the car down but remained tense and held onto the steering wheel stiffly.Vicky opened her mouth to speak but decided against it in the end.The car stopped at the entrance of a theme park that they had once been to before.It used to be a place filled with sweet memories, but there was nothing left but pain at this moment.Vicky unfastened her seatbelt and was about to get out when Tyler grabbed her and leaned closer to kiss her.She resisted at first but soon found herself lost in his kiss, and she started to respond in the end.Tyler tensed and deepened the kiss.Sometime later, he pulled away and stared at her with lights in his eyes. "Vicky, you're still in love with me, right?" he said with certainty; a confident smile appeared on his lips as the despair he felt had vanished completely.He planted a light kiss on her cheek and said, "Vicky, you're the one I love right now... What happened in that garden never really mattered to me. Even i
Vicky turned around. "We aren't exactly all lovey-dovey, Noah. You need to do me one more favor."Noah felt chills down his spine and said reluctantly, "Go on.""Let's walk out of here holding hands. He'll snap when he sees that.""..." Noah was rendered speechless at first. "Vicky, I can tell that you still love him, so why are you so dead set on breaking up with him? Did something happen—"Vicky interrupted him and said, "Here he comes, Noah." She took Noah's hand and whispered, "I'm sorry...but I have to break up with him."Noah shot the slender figure from afar and before he could hold Vicky back, he was punched and slammed against the ground once again.Baam!Tyler had struck much harder than before, and Noah could see stars before him.Tyler grabbed his collar and glared at him maliciously. "Who gave you permission to touch her?""Tyler!" Vicky hurried over to stop him. "Let Noah go!"He turned around to look at her, his eyes bright with rage.Throughout the year they
"I know," said Tyler calmly. "Don't worry. I'll handle it."When Vicky noticed that he did not regret his action at all, she gritted her teeth in frustration. "You know that I only made that request so that you'd give up. Tyler, we've broken up. Don't cling onto me again."He paled and grabbed her by the wrist. "Why are you breaking up with me all of a sudden? We were doing great—"She interrupted him. "Were we? Are you sure?"He narrowed his eyes and realized that Vicky had been depressed recently, but whenever he would ask her about it, she would refuse to talk."If it's because I mistook you for Gloria at the beginning, I told you...that's not a problem."She remained quiet for a moment. "That was just an excuse.""Why is it that you insist on breaking up, Vicky?""I told you that I don't love you anymore.""I don't believe you." He stared into her eyes and said, "You still respond to my kisses. This can't be because you don't love me anymore."She smiled mockingly. "There
