Chapter 8

Author: Debbie Meza
"Vicky, come with me," said Tyler.

Vicky brought Cece to another room and instructed her, "Stay here for a bit. I'll be right back."

Just as Vicky was about to leave, Cece grabbed onto her sleeves. "I'm sorry, Vicky."

Cece was not stupid. She knew Hector came from a noteworthy background. Even if she was the victim in the case, to those guests, she was wrong for fighting back.

Vicky looked back at Cece who was unsettled with her eyes brimming with tears. "It's alright," Vicky assured her. "It's not your fault."

She continued comforting Cece for a while before leaving with Tyler.

-

In another room, Vicky told Tyler what had happened in detail before finally saying, "Cece didn't do anything wrong. Sasha orchestrated this whole thing."

Tyler gazed at Vicky aloofly. "Are you telling me the one who hurt Hector Larson is Sasha?"

"Without Sasha, Cece would not get molested or hurt Hector Larson," Vicky explained.

Tyler raised his eyes and flatly asked, "How do you know it was Sasha?"

The question unsettled Vicky.

"Those people came to the room too quickly, like they knew where to go as soon as it happened. That means someone must have deliberately lured them there. This is the first time Cece attending a party with me, and she had never offended anyone before. The only thing that happened was that she had quarreled with Sasha when we just arrived. Coincidentally, Sasha was among those who came to the scene, too—"

"So these are just your assumptions?" interjected Tyler before she could finish.

Vicky's heart sank. She looked at the handsome man and uttered, "You don't believe what I said, and… you're going to defend that woman again, aren't you?"

As if thinking of something, she smiled lightly, yet her eyes cold.

"Tyler, do you really have to? I get it if it's Sheila, but are you really going to protect Sasha, the brainless and wicked woman? If she could plot against Cece today, she could also use a more despicable method to go against other people. She does have a good brother-in-law to clean up the mess for her, after all."

It was impossible for Tyler to miss the sarcasm in her tone. His gaze grew serious, and so did his tone as he spoke, "Vicky, nothing good comes out if you provoke me now."

Vicky stared at him as she retorted, "If I don't provoke you, are you willing to let the actual culprit be held responsible for the crime she committed?"

Tyler answered calmly, "The law doesn't recognize speculation but evidence."

Vicky wordlessly stared at the man's indifferent expression as the man disappointed her to the core.

How could she forget? When Sasha pushed her into the swimming pool, he did not side with her, either. Why would he help her since it was Cece in trouble? Even if she went to search for evidence, he would wipe them away before she could find them.

The atmosphere gradually became tense. Just then, loud footsteps were heard coming toward the door before knocks ensued.

Vicky went to open the door, revealing a waitress standing outside with a terrible expression.

She reported, "Ms. Shaw, Miss Lynn has been taken away by the police for aggravated assault."

Vicky balled her hands tightly.

At that moment, Senior Hart's old butler came to them. This serious matter had reached the elder's ears after all.

The old butler said, "Sir, Missus, Senior Hart is asking for both of you."

Thus, they went to look for Senior Hart.

When Senior Hart saw Vicky, he could barely mask his disgust as he knocked his walking stick to the floor. "Vicky Shaw! Wasn't it enough that you caused big trouble in the past? Offending the Larson family now… Are you only going to stop when my family is in ruins?!"

Vicky tried to explain, "Grandpa, it's not what you think—"

"Does the Hart family owe you anything?!" he roared. "You… Ahem, ahem!"

Senior Hart started coughing violently, possibly due to his rage. Vicky wanted to go closer, but she stopped when she saw the Senior Hart vicious stare at her.

-

It was late when they left Senior Hart's place. The night was chilly, and darkness had encompassed the earth.

Vicky felt her head hurting badly, and she was dizzy as well.

Her mind was in a mess, and the way Senior Hart looked at her haunted her incessantly.

It was not just a hateful look… It looked more like he was looking at his enemy.

"What did Grandpa’s words mean?" Vicky's question sounded in the quiet night.

Tyler came to a halt for a short moment. "What do you refer to exactly?"

Vicky looked up at him. "Did I cause big trouble for your family before?"

Upon hearing what she asked, he sneered. "Don't you find it weird? No one else other than your assistant came to take care of you when you were in the car crash, not even your family or friends."

Startled, she hesitantly asked, "Why?"

He lowered his head to look at her. His words were ruthless, mean, and harsh.

"That's because you did whatever you wanted just because you're my wife. You disgust people, and no one dares to do anything to you because of your status as my wife. However, you offended too many people. You implicated your friends and caused them to suffer.

"As a result, no one likes you, and no one wants to be friends with you."

A thought crossed his mind, and his expression darkened even more. The way he looked at her was… crueler than before. "Vicky Shaw, you deserve it for ending up like this."

With that, he left indifferently, leaving Vicky rooted to the spot. She felt excruciating pain in her heart.

'So I'm that detestable…' she thought.

-

The next day, Vickey went to bail out Cece with a lawyer. However, she was met with terrible news.

"I'm sorry, but Miss Lynn's case is special. She's not allowed to be bailed out."

"Special case?" Vicky was baffled. "It was just self-defense…"

"Currently, there is no evidence to prove it was self-defense," interjected the other party. "I'm sorry. I'm afraid you need to leave, Ms. Shaw."

Vicky took a deep breath and called Tyler.

    [Alright.]Aurora sighed in relief. "Vicky, we've been out for quite a while. Shall we head back?"Vicky glanced at Aurora. "Can we finally go back now?""Yes, we can go back... Huh?" Aurora sensed something was amiss. "Vicky, do you...know something?"Vicky smiled. "Every time I go out with friends, Tyler always bombards me with questions about when I'll be back and insists on picking me up. Strangely, he didn't ask me anything today. Also... I remember that it's my birthday today."Aurora was left speechless as she realized Vicky saw right through her act....By the time they got home, it was starting to get dark outside. Inside the mansion, it was quiet and pitch-black. Suddenly, a warm, yellow candlelight gradually illuminated the darkness, revealing a handsome face."Happy birthday, Vicky," Tyler said.Vicky gazed at the flickering candles, feeling a bit dazed.It was then she remembered that during the early days of their relationship, he had prepared a birthday surpri

    Tyler showed great disdain when his wish of getting a daughter was let down. What irritated him most was that this son looked remarkably like him.After recovering from childbirth, Vicky accompanied a newly pregnant Aurora on a shopping trip for baby supplies.Upon hearing Vicky's story, Aurora could not help but ask, "Men are usually happy when they have sons, so why does Tyler prefer daughters?"Vicky sighed. "Tyler says that a family is never really balanced and happy unless they have one son and one daughter."Aurora nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed. Now that you have a son, having a daughter would be perfect. Vicky, have you and Tyler considered responding to the national call and having a third child?"Vicky shook her head. "The last time I gave birth, Tyler wasn't around, so he doesn't know what it was like. This time, he was scared out of his wits and had no intention of having more children. A few days ago, he even underwent a vasectomy."Aurora chuckled. "Daughters may be s

    However, everything spiraled out of control.Tyler knew his behavior was despicable, but he could not control his emotions.When he loved, every cell within him longed for her. Every time he came to see her, he told himself it would be the last time. However, he found himself appearing at her house more and more frequently.Tyler knew he was in trouble, and it would not be long before he returned to his former self.Vicky was like a drug to him. Even though he knew that contact with her was toxic, he could not bring himself to let go.He knew she was pregnant with his child, and his most primal desires began to surge, making it impossible for him to resist the urge to make her stay.Vicky listened quietly to his confession, and her heart ached.She could not fight off the urge to hold him; her touch was firm and comforting.He only mentioned a few words about the time he regained consciousness, but Vicky knew he had endured a lot of pain. The fact that he was alive was a miracl

    Tyler's lips quivered as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he fell silent.What was there to say? It was not like he could apologize. The deed had been done, and his apology would not mean anything. Besides, he had no regrets whatsoever.Vicky stared at him. "You tampered with the surveillance, didn't you?""Yes.""And the servants and nannies. They're all under your control, right?"Tyler lowered his gaze. "Yes."Since all of this was real and not a dream, she must have been unconscious when Tyler returned. No matter how soundly she slept, she should have felt something. Since she had to take care of Lufian, she came home every day for meals, so she guessed that something was added to her food.For the past few days, she pretended to eat at home while secretly disposing of her meals. As it turned out, her suspicions were correct.Vicky repeated the question she asked before. "Why didn't you come to me?"Tyler remained silent once again."Did you come here just t

    "Are you planning to leave just like that?"The man's body tensed.Click! The desk lamp was turned on, its warm, amber light illuminating the darkness."Why won't you look at me? Are you brave enough to do it but not to admit it?" echoed Vicky's gentle voice.Tyler snapped out of it and instinctively pulled his hand away from hers, ready to escape, only for Vicky's next words to pin him in place."If you leave now, I'll get rid of the baby in me tomorrow."He swiftly froze in place and turned back to her. "What did you just say?"Even though she prepared herself mentally, seeing the shock on his face made Vicky's eyes widen in shock. In an instant, her eyes welled up with tears. "You..."As Tyler met the shock in her eyes, he came to a sudden realization and turned his face away, looking anywhere but at her.When she learned about her pregnancy and knew she had not been dreaming, Vicky had a hunch about who it was that came and went freely into her home. The only one capable o

    Vicky began to feel increasingly uneasy. She was pregnant without even knowing who the father was. That had to be one of the most absurd jokes in the world.Aurora, Noah, and the others were bewildered.They knew Vicky's character well, and she was not the type to casually sleep around. Besides, she still had feelings for Tyler, so she would never sleep with another man.Getting drunk was even more out of the question. After all, she was either working or taking care of her child. She had neither the time nor the inclination to go out drinking.Even Vicky herself was bewildered, and her thoughts were in disarray. "I... I don't know."The others exchanged glances, all noticing that Vicky's first instinct was not to terminate the pregnancy."Vicky, go home and think it over carefully. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call us," Aurora said gently.Vicky nodded absently.Back at home, Vicky reviewed the surveillance footage once more.She had watched it numerous times, but
