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
"Don't try to escape," Tyler warned, "or I'll chain you up."Vicky knew better than to provoke him and remained quiet.He pushed the tray toward her. "Eat."She started eating, but she stopped not long after as she did not have an appetite.Tyler scowled when she set her spoon down. "Is that all you're eating?""I don't have an appetite.""Eat some more.""I can't."Tyler stared at her and said forcefully, "Eat some more if you don't want me to force-feed you."His glare was intimidating, and her heart instantly sank. Scared, she took a few more bites.After dinner, Tyler collected the tableware, and Vicky took the opportunity to scan her surroundings. She had seen everything there was to see about the room she was in, so she turned her attention to the outside.She walked over to the window and opened the white curtains, only to find bars on the window.The outside of the house was surrounded by trees without any sight of roads or passers-by.She seemed to be in a remote
"Why won't you believe me?" Vicky asked. "You've seen and met more people than I do, and you should know that people change. You only refuse to believe me because you don't want to accept reality as it is. Tyler, there really isn't a point in obsessing over the past... I know you're a better man than that.""I won't believe you," Tyler repeated."What can I do to make you believe, then?"Tyler fell into silence, and Vicky knew that Tyler was merely in denial."Tyler, we haven't dated for long, and you...don't really love me that much anyway. You are just frustrated that I dumped you, so—""No." He interrupted her. "It's not that.""Is that so? You've never once said that you love me throughout the time we spent together."Vicky had confessed her love to him on multiple occasions during their first anniversary, but Tyler simply held her close and kissed her in silence.Vicky knew that Tyler was not a man who was used to showing his emotions and would never allow himself to say s
Vicky stared at Tyler. "I thought you said it's resolved. What happened?"He walked over to grab the remote controller before turning the television off. "Isn't it more fun to give someone hope, only to devastate them once again?" he said bitterly."What do you mean?""It's none of your concern." Tyler had no intention of discussing the subject further. "Go take a shower and get ready for bed."She observed his expression for a few moments and decided against asking any more questions....The night was quiet and peaceful, but Vicky jolted awake in the middle of the night, likely due to the change of environment.She reached out next to her and noticed that Tyler was not by her side.She rubbed her eyes and sat up before stepping out of the bedroom to find the living room in the dark.Vicky frowned and wondered, 'Where can Tyler be at this time?'She looked around and suddenly noticed that there was light coming from the gap in a door that led to a certain room.It seemed to
"Did you get hurt in prison?"Tyler mentioned that he thought Vicky wanted him dead in prison during the day, and though she did not understand what he meant at the time, she finally realized that he was beaten in prison.She knew that Tyler was sent to prison, and at the time, she thought that it would be good that he could stay away and calm down for a while.He had gone too far with no concern for consequences.Noah was not a man he could simply beat and get away with it.She was never truly dating Noah. He wanted to repay the favor of the assistance she provided him in the past, or he would have never put up with Tyler repeatedly. Regardless, Tyler’s actions escalated, and even Vicky herself was starting to lose patience.When the Canyers found out that Noah was rushed to the hospital for what Tyler did to him, they decided to send Tyler to prison, and Vicky stopped begging for mercy on Tyler's behalf.However, she had not expected Tyler to get hurt.She tore on his shirt a
They stayed in the same mansion for a little over a week in peace, and throughout their stay, Tyler had gone outside a few times to make purchases of living necessities.He would lock the door every time he left, and Vicky had not been allowed to go outside the house.So long as she was careful not to provoke him or mention anything about leaving, Tyler was kind and would not force her to do anything she did not want.Still, being confined in a house left Vicky feeling a little depressed.Sensing her mood, he said, "Wait for a few more days. We're leaving soon."Vicky knew he was not only out buying things they needed but also to make arrangements for their departure. However, she was clueless as to when they were leaving and where they were heading to.After painting for a while in the study, Vicky felt tired and decided to return to the bedroom to sleep.Sometime later, someone woke her up."Vicky, wake up."She opened her eyes and saw Tyler's face right before her. "Tyler?"
In the following days, Tyler continued to take her from house to house, and the time they managed to stay in each house shortened with each relocation.Vicky was no fool and soon realized that they were being chased.One day, Tyler left her in one of the houses and headed out right away. She did not know where he went, but that night, he returned with injuries.There was a gigantic cut on his left arm, and the blood drenched his shirt.As soon as he stepped into the house, she caught onto the scent of blood and paled. Not wasting any time asking questions, she blurted out, "I'm getting the first-aid kit."However, he stopped her immediately. "I'm fine," he said in a low voice. "Leave with me right now."She glanced at his left arm. "But your arm...""Let's leave first," he repeated sternly and started dragging her outside.Guns were fired at them as soon as they stepped foot out of the house, and Vicky was startled.Tyler pulled her behind him and said, "Don't be afraid. I won
Vicky thought the same as anytime Tyler would get rid of the cars behind them, other cars would catch up to them shortly after.It would be impossible for these people to locate them so swiftly if they did not have the means to do so.The two went into another car, but the same thing happened....The night enveloped the surroundings with its deep and mysterious hues, while the dim glow of the street lamps by the river cast an eerie light, twisting the trees on either side of the road into peculiar shapes.Two figures moved through the vastness of the night, weaving their way through the shadows.Since the second car seemed to have a tracker as well, they abandoned the car and started running on foot.The people who were chasing them did not catch up, and Vicky slowly began to relax.Suddenly, Tyler stopped.Vicky, who was deep in her thoughts, bumped into his back. She lifted her gaze and saw a car in their way.At the same time, she heard footsteps approaching from behind,
