Vicky was not a doctor, but even she could tell that Gloria was in a bad state, and there was no point in her to argue with someone who was mentally ill.For reasons she could not begin to put into words, something felt odd…and she could not put her finger on it.In the end, she gave up....Ever since Gloria disappeared, Vicky and Tyler had a peaceful time together, and Vicky continued to undergo hypnosis without Tyler noticing.She started dreaming more often and began to recall bits or pieces of what she had forgotten. However, the memories were too scattered.One day, after a treatment session, the hypnotist handed her a glass of water. "Miss Shaw, how are you feeling today?""My head doesn't hurt as much." Vicky wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at the hypnotist. "When will the treatment end?""Miss Shaw, to tell you the truth..." the hypnotist trailed off hesitantly. "It's already over."Vicky paled. "But I haven't remembered everything..."Her memories were s
Vicky opened the door and stepped into darkness despite the fact that it was daytime.The mansion was quiet with not a soul in sight on the first floor as though no one had lived in it for ages. She glanced around and found that the floor, couch, and tables all seemed clean.When she did not see anything on the first floor, she slowly went up the stairs.There was no one on the second floor either, and each door was shut tightly.'Isn't Tyler worried that Alex is going to escape if he locks Alex in here?' Vicky thought.She stood by the stairs and looked around when she heard a faint noise coming from a certain room.Her gaze locked onto the room furthest down the corridor, and she slowly made her way toward it.Just as she hesitated if she should knock or open the door, another noise rose.Startled, Vicky instinctively turned the doorknob.To her bewilderment, the door was not locked, so it opened right away.Before the door opened, she had thought of countless possibilities
Gloria's nails dug into Vicky's skin without her realizing it, and she gritted her teeth. "He said that I've gone mad and electrocuted me, calling that treatment... He wants to make me insane so that I can't ruin his plan. He doesn't want to fulfill his promise!"Gloria looked up abruptly at Vicky. "Vicky, I don't want him anymore. Get me out... Get me out of here! I want to play piano. I don't want to be locked in here like some lunatic!"Gloria was hysterical and was clearly in shock, so Vicky could not tell if she was telling the truth."Can... Can there be some kind of mistake?" Vicky asked hesitantly."No! He'd come here every other day to see if I'd gone mad... Vicky, he was responsible for causing your memory loss! He resents you for dumping him back then and wants to retaliate! Do you know what his plan is? He tortures you and puts you in misery, only to care for you later on. Once you fall back in love with him and can no longer live without him, he'll dump you! He's all h
Vicky knew that Tyler was perceptive, but she did not know that he was perceptive to such an extent."You came so suddenly, so shouldn't I feel nervous?" Gloria looked up and chuckled darkly. "You've only been here yesterday, and you are back today. Why didn't you pay me visits as frequently before? Have you thought of some new ways to torture me?"Vicky could not see his face as his back faced the closet, but she spotted the fear in Gloria's eyes right away.'What exactly has Tyler done to Gloria for her to be so scared of him?' Vicky thought.Sensing Gloria’s fear, Vicky's heart started racing as well."You're mistaken," Tyler said. "I'm just treating your depression.""You call this treatment?!" Gloria shouted hysterically. "You're trying to get me killed!"Tyler remained unwavering. "If I wanted you dead, you won't survive until now.""But I'd rather be dead than to be like this! Tyler, what exactly have I done wrong? Why are you doing this to me? I've never wronged you in
It was not the worst if Tyler aimed to seek revenge, but the possibility that he truly thought this was a way to treat someone with depression made him an evil man.Gloria's screams continued for over half an hour until she finally fainted.Tyler simply watched without emotions on his face. From where Vicky was crouching, she could only see his clenched jaw line and thin lips.Her blood ran cold as she found her own husband unfamiliar."Mister Hart, Miss Shaw has fainted," the doctor said."Wake her up and continue.""But..." The doctor argued, "Miss Shaw isn't fit to continue the treatment... If we carry on, she'll go insane."After a long silence, Tyler said, "Forget it. We'll continue tomorrow."A few minutes later, Tyler exited the room alongside the doctor.Vicky dared not to go out right away and waited a few more minutes before sneaking out of the closet after hearing the sound of the car engine running downstairs.Gloria was unconscious on the ground, and because she
Gloria mumbled to herself, "That's right. You don't remember... You don't remember what happened..."Sensing that there was a hidden message in Gloria's words, Vicky asked, "Do you know what happened back then?""I don't... I don't know much..."Vicky was disappointed when Gloria continued, "But I know that he once kept you prisoner for a whole month.""What?"Gloria met Vicky's eyes and muttered weakly, "Noah knows about it as well... He was the one who saved you from Tyler, after all. At the time, you needed someone to take care of you, so Noah contacted me. You were in a horrible state at the time..." She paused and added, "Even worse than the state I'm in right now. You were his girlfriend, and he still managed to do that to you, so who am I to think I'm different? That's right... Who do I think I am? Harvey told me that I idealized Tyler and that I should stay away from him. I didn't listen...and now, I brought this to myself. But..."She swiftly became hysterical once again
Tyler was the one who rescued Gloria on his way to attend Vicky's performance. Because he saved Gloria, however, he missed the performance.Since then, Gloria could not stop herself from paying attention to Tyler.People tended to see the ones they loved in a favorable manner, and even if the reality was far from ideal, it would be hard for them to believe that their loved ones were less than perfect until their bubbles were completely shattered.Gloria recalled something that sent chills down her spine.Harvey once said that Tyler had not made any mistake and that he had always been looking for Vicky.Tyler had not shown Gloria any mercy even though he was misled to think that he was mistaken, so Gloria could not help but wonder if he would kill her if he found out that it was Vicky he was looking for all along.She started panting heavily, but Vicky did not notice this as her head began to hurt.Vicky knew that Gloria might lie, but it was unlikely for Noah to do so. On top of
Vicky's tone was cold, and she showed no fear after learning that Tyler was her kidnapper, likely because she believed he would never hurt her.Her anger boiled in response to his silence."Tyler, why did you bring me here?!" she questioned sharply.He glanced at her. "We'll leave this place after a while.""Leave? To where?""Where do you want to go?" he asked.Vicky was stunned, dumbfounded that he was asking her where she wanted to go after kidnapping her."I don't want to go anywhere else. I want to stay in Molivia... Let me go, Tyler."He ignored her once again and asked, "What do you want for dinner?""Tyler Hart, let me go!"He bent down to study the anger on her face and drawled, "Vicky, you're not here as a guest, do you understand?"His words did not scare her, and Vicky remained cold and distant. "Tyler, let me go, or I'll call the police and send you back into prison!"The look in his eyes darkened at her words. "Send me back into prison, huh? Ha!" He chuckled d
