"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,
Before Vicky could respond, the man laughed and said, "Tyler, you should know what's best for yourself. It's not worth it to throw your life away over a woman who doesn't even want you. Let her go."Tyler narrowed his eyes and gazed down at Vicky.He was never a man who could be easily convinced and had his way of judging the world.He only looked at Vicky because he wanted her to deny it, but she simply looked away.The look in his eyes darkened, and his grip around her wrist tightened until it started to hurt.Vicky dared not to look up or meet his gaze.A few moments later, Tyler said, "Get out of my way."The man did not expect Tyler to be so insistent and frowned. "Tyler, why bother? There are plenty of women—"Bang!Before the man could finish, a shot was fired.The man was clearly trained and managed to narrowly dodge the bullet as it flew past his cheek.Terrified, the man instantly realized that the bullet would have hit his head if he did not dodge it in time.Vic
Before Tyler counted to three, the man finally spoke out. "Move out of the way, guys."His subordinates exchanged knowing looks and made a path, while Tyler dragged Vicky out of the crowd with his eyes trained on the man.The man was a seasoned assassin, and Tyler knew that he could still grab the gun with his other arm. However, since the gun was on the ground, Tyler was more than capable of killing the man while he reached for it.With that, Tyler and Vicky left under the watchful eyes of the group.Once they were gone, the man did not order his subordinates to go after them.Just then, one of his subordinates walked over. "Eason, what should we do now?""They'll be found no matter where they go, so let them run. I need to get treated... Well, I guess we should send Vicky's old friend, Magnus over instead. Maybe she'll be more cooperative when she sees him," said Eason....After getting rid of another group of assassins, Tyler finally ran out of ammunition and hid in an alle
"Just come with me first. I'll figure something out," replied Tyler as he reached for her hand once again.Vicky backed away with a cold expression. "Do you really not get it? I purposefully let you kidnap me so that you'll get caught, losing any chance to get back up on your feet."The look in his eyes darkened, and he muttered, "I don't believe you.""So what if you don't believe it to be true? It's a fact. How else can you explain why your perfect plan was exposed, including your location? There can't be that many coincidences."Tyler was a cautious man who would never make such careless mistakes, so Vicky was the only suspect for causing the failure.He shot her a dark look. "I know that you have your reasons.""I do." Vicky did not give him the chance to speak and continued, "I didn't know how to get rid of you and someone happened to come to me, saying that they could help with that and would even pay me for it..." She looked up and met his gaze. "I'm born into a wealthy fa
When his gaze landed on the account number, the light in his eyes dimmed.Vicky sensed his despair and clenched her fists before loosening her grip and turning to look at Tyler. "Tyler, you still remember what I've done for you to get money when we first met, right?"Tyler knew that she was in desperate need of money, and he had asked her why after they started dating. At the time, Vicky said, "I want to be free, and I need savings to achieve that."There was not a soul on earth that did not want money, and that was what Tyler used to believe.However, it seemed challenging for him to accept it at the moment.He stared into her eyes and moved his lips to speak, only to recall that he had nothing to offer.He could not offer her what she wanted, and it seemed normal that she would want to leave as all relationships were based on mutual benefits.Sometime later, he muttered hoarsely, "Vicky, you once said that you'd stay by my side no matter what..."Promises were unreliable and
