Harvey smiled but did not continue the subject. "It's good that Tyler is busy, though. With him being distracted, your treatment will go smoothly."Vicky’s lips curled into a bitter smile. "I guess I should be thanking Gloria, then."After the call, Vicky headed to her studio.The treatments had been rather effective. Though she had not recalled anything yet, she started having dreams again.She was not sure how long she could keep a secret from Tyler, and to her surprise, Tyler found himself entangled in Gloria’s affair, which was great news for Vicky....It was late by the time Vicky left her studio.Work had been hectic ever since she took on a few big orders, and any free time she had was placed with receiving treatment for her amnesia.Vicky's studio was located a little further away from the city, and since it was late at night, there were only a few cars on the road.Vicky stood for 10 minutes on the road but could not find a single taxi.Unfortunately, her phone had
Vicky had kept a lot of self-defense tools in her bag, including pepper spray and a Taser.Just as she was about to leap into action, another car drove over from a distance.Vicky's heart sank.She might stand a chance in disabling two men, but she would be helpless if she was surrounded by a big group.With that in mind, she decided to act quickly as it would be much easier for her to deal with others once the two men before her were on the ground.The men were distracted by the approaching headlight, and Vicky swiftly pulled out the pepper spray and sprayed it at their eyes."Aah!"The men were hit without a chance to react.The solution in the pepper spray Vicky had been made specifically so that its victim would not be able to open their eyes for a prolonged period.The men covered their eyes and wailed loudly, and Vicky took the opportunity to attack them with the Taser.By the time another car stopped nearby, the men were already unconscious on the ground.The car door
"The doctor he hired as one of my subordinates. She is a hypnotist who can rival Isabella. That's not someone that can be bought with just money."Vicky noticed the message hidden between his words.'The hypnotist who is treating me right now works for this mysterious man,' she thought. 'So is he trying to hint that Isabella works for Tyler?'"You haven’t told me how you found out all this.""I've been watching you, so I know a lot about you," the man said."Why have you been watching me?"He chuckled. "I'll answer that question once you get your memories back.""Why are you so certain that I am getting my memories back?""Your amnesia was caused by human effort, so it can be undone by human effort."Vicky narrowed her eyes as she realized that man knew far more than she had anticipated.She lowered her gaze at the bracelet she received on her birthday from Tyler. "Did you just say that this bracelet has a tracker in it?"The man lifted an eyebrow. "You might've lost your me
The man's lips curled into a gentle smile. His appearance was the perfect image of what one might call 'prince charming', and he was gentle and approachable.A few moments later, Vicky went into the car, knowing that it was indeed dangerous for her to be alone on the streets.On top of that, she wanted to know who this man was.The car drove forward on the quiet road, and the streetlights flew by outside the window. Gentle jazz music played inside the car, creating a peaceful atmosphere."Who are you, sir?"The man kept his long fingers steady on the steering wheel and his gaze straight ahead. "You will know once you get your memories back."Vicky scowled. "Were we close?"The man considered her question for a few moments. "Not really, but I'd say that we were closer than ordinary friends.""Do we contact each other frequently?""Occasionally," he said gently. "Your husband is a jealous man, and we stopped talking ever since you two got married. I think it's been years."Vick
Though she was home late, Tyler rarely returned home before midnight as of late, too.After changing into her slippers, she was about to head upstairs when she caught a faint scent of tobacco from the living room.She looked over and saw a red dot flashing in the darkness.Her heart threatened to leap out of her chest, and she came close to screaming.After taking a few deep breaths, she calmed herself and turned on the lights in the living room.Snap! The chandelier above her lit up in blinding light, and she frowned in discomfort.After a while, she got used to the light and asked, "Tyler, what are you doing here?"The man stood before the balcony, his towering figure casting a long shadow over the wall.From where she was standing, she could only see the side of his face.He held a cigarette between his fingers absentmindedly; white smoke curled and rose around him, blurring his face.Tyler did not turn around. "Why are you home so late?""Why are you home so early?" Vick
Tyler stared into Vicky's eyes and gritted out, "Say that again, Vicky."In a fit of rage, his eyes reddened as he began panting heavily. His fingers around her wrist were trembling ever so slightly, threatening to snap her wrist in half.Her heart sank and wondered for a moment as to why she would risk enraging him after all that she had put up with in the past.She knew that she would only suffer if she provoked Tyler. On top of that, she was still undertaking hypnosis in secret, so it was the worst time possible to be in a conflict with Tyler.She pursed her lips and turned her head around in silence, but her silence did not appease his anger.He lifted her chin and glared at her with rage burning in his eyes. "Who was that man, Vicky?""I don't know," she answered. "It was late, and I couldn't catch a taxi. That man happened to drive by, so I asked for his help to give me a lift.""Didn't you say he is your lover?"She closed her eyes. "You've been spending days and nights
Vicky sneered inwardly as she was wondering why Tyler got home early.She lowered her gaze. "Tyler, you know my body better than I do. I don't really think... I can get pregnant again." She felt a lump in her throat and continued, "If you love children that much..."She took a deep breath and met his brooding, dark eyes. "You might as well try it with someone else."He stared at her coldly as he said emotionlessly, "Who should I try to have a child with, then?"Tension rose, and after a while, Vicky smiled. "I think my cousin, Gloria, is the perfect candidate.""Is that so?""Yeah," Vicky said calmly. "She is a beauty from a once-powerful family and is also a famed pianist... On top of that, she once had such a romantic history with you. I'm sure she's a worthy match for you.""She does sound like a perfect candidate." Tyler stared at her. "But I doubt she'll be willing to sleep with me without being married to me.""It's simple if you want that resolved, isn't it?""How shoul
[Don't worry. He didn't know it was me. I pointed all the leads to a female driver. You wouldn't be able to reach me now otherwise.]Vicky stared at the text and frowned.Tyler was far too sharp, and it was extremely challenging for her to lie to him, so she managed to persuade him with a half-truth the night before.Vicky knew that Tyler would get to the bottom of anything if he wanted to, yet the mysterious man claimed that he managed to point all evidence to a female driver instead.'Is he really that capable?' she thought. 'If Tyler finds out about the truth, isn't that going to deepen the misunderstanding between us?'While Vicky was absorbed in her thoughts, the man sent her another text.[Oh, I forgot to mention. Alex was caught last night.]Vicky jolted and thought, 'So Tyler returned home early last night because Alex was caught?!'Vicky ignored the text and hastily made a call to Harvey.It took some time for Harvey to pick up, but when he did, she could sense how ex
