"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
Magnus had not expected Tyler to be so obsessive to the point he would refuse to give up despite the circumstances.After a few moments of silence, Magnus waved his men over. "Since Mister Hart here won't give up, make him."The men crowded Tyler within a blink of an eye.Though Tyler was a skilled fighter, he was outnumbered and had to protect Vicky, so he was instantly swarmed.Nonetheless, his stubbornness surprised everyone.He would rather be exposed to attacks than let go of Vicky. In the end, he simply gave up on fighting back and wrapped his arms around Vicky with all his might.He would not dodge or attack when the men punched him, but he would react like an angry beast whenever someone tried to get Vicky out of his reach.The men stopped eventually and turned to look at Magnus with resignation.Tyler was simply too stubborn and would not let go even if they beat him to death. Unfortunately for them, they could not actually kill Tyler.Even Magnus was at his wit's end
However, the physical pain that plagued Tyler's arm was not as painful as the emotional pain in his heart. Vicky's beautiful hand was like a sharp knife, cutting his flesh little by little, causing his whole body to stiffen in pain.Being at the receiving end of betrayal was inherently painful, but what was even more painful was being betrayed by a loved one when one was at their most vulnerable.Magnus sighed inwardly and thought, 'No matter how many of my elite men I brought to take down Tyler, they'll never be as powerful as Vicky's womanly wiles.'Seeing the opportunity, Magnus immediately signaled his subordinates with his eyes to take down Tyler. One of them immediately knew what he was hinting at and without a moment of hesitation raised his hand and swiftly brought it down on the back of Tyler's neck.Even when he fell unconscious, Tyler still held onto Vicky's hand; he never let her go.Magnus walked over to Vicky and asked, "Miss Shaw, are you okay?"Vicky did not answe
Before Noah could finish speaking, he heard a weird noise coming from the other side of the phone, and his call was cut off.He tried calling Vicky again, only to be greeted by the sound of the automated voice message telling him that her phone had been turned off.Noah was gobsmacked. "Oh, sh*t! I never thought Tyler would move so fast. He's crazy, absolutely crazy!"He anxiously paced around the same spot over and over again with the phone in his hand.Noah had ways of getting the latest news about Tyler, so had been keeping a close watch on him all this while. He heard that after Tyler was taken away, he was first locked up in a dark room for a week as punishment.However, Tyler remained stubbornly obsessed after he was released from the room. Later, he was diagnosed as being mentally ill, so they administered electric shocks to his brain.When Noah found out about this from his father James Canyer, he found the whole thing unbelievable instead of feeling happy."While it's t
A shudder coursed through Noah's body, and he could not help but curse, "Holy sh*t! This Tyler is ruthless."'Thank heavens my manhood is still intact,' he thought after remembering the one time when he pretended to be Vicky's boyfriend. Just thinking of this sent a chill running up his spine."How could Tyler's parents not be angry when both their beloved adopted son and father have been sent to the hospital because of him? So while Senior Hart was lying unconscious in the hospital, Tyler's parents began the so-called 'treatment' on him, but anyone with a brain could tell that it was clearly a form of torture. I don't know any other specific details since I only found out by overhearing the discussion from the other Hart family members.""And then what happened?" prompted Noah."It's not like Tyler's parents could kill Tyler there and then because, as you said, that'll make them no better than animals. Senior Hart values his bloodline more than anything in the world. Once he woke
Tyler emerged from the darkness; his twisting tall shadow was reflected on the wall.Vicky sensed something was different between the kidnapping this time and the kidnapping last time. Her palms became slicked with cold sweat as she stared at the approaching man with wavering eyes. She could feel a wave of oppression washed over her, and the temperature around her dropped to zero as he approached."You…" croaked Vicky. It was only then she realized her voice was hoarse."Are you surprised?" Tyler condescendingly looked down at her with cold, cold eyes. She had never seen him look at her like that as if she was nothing but a stranger to him. In fact, his eyes were even colder than the first time they met.Tyler seemed to have changed a lot in a short month. He had lost a lot of weight, but apart from that, Vicky could not quite put her finger on the other changes Tyler had undergone as she had no idea just what kind of torture he had been put through.Noah called her before she was
"Do it, then!" Vicky closed her eyes, her willingness to face death head-on apparent.Tyler squeezed her neck tighter and tighter, making it harder for Vicky to breathe. Even with her eyes closed, she could feel Tyler staring coldly at her. She knew then that the man before her would be crazy enough to do anything.Vicky was starting to feel like blacking out from the lack of oxygen as Tyler's fingers closed around her neck. Still, she did not put up a struggle; she quietly waited for death to claim her.Suddenly, Tyler released his grip. A burst of fresh air immediately rushed into Vicky's lungs, causing her to cough violently."I'm not going to let you die that easily," said Tyler coldly.Vicky wheezed and panted, and it took her a while to finally calm down.She did not say anything, nor did Tyler.The two of them stared silently at each other. The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Tyler sat on the bed and looked at her with his piercing eyes as if he wanted t
