He had more important matters to attend to.
â¦
Vicky was thrown onto the bed roughly, and as the door was slammed shut, she could feel herself
trembling.
Tylerâs presence terrified her, and she curled up in the corner of the bed as she watched Tyler
approach.
The fear and wariness in her eyes were like sharp blades that stabbed into Tylerâs heart. His lips curled
into a cold sneer as he said, âVicky, you can literally be with anyone but me, is that right?â
ââ¦â Vicky was clueless as to what he was saying but dared not to respond out of fear that she might
provoke him further.
Tyler reached out to grab her and froze when she immediately flinched away from his touch.
The air seemed to have frozen around them, and the look in his eyes darkened. âAs expected,â he
mumbled. âIâm the only one you wonât be with.â
Her heart sank at the look on his face. âTylerâ¦â
His lashes fluttered at the sound of her voice, and he lifted his gaze.
âIâm sorry,â she whispered.
âSorry about what?â
She bowed her head. âFor everything⦠Sorry.â
The look in his eyes darkened bitterly, and he thought, âJust what was I expecting? That sheâs going to
say that she has reasons for doing what she did?â
âVicky, your apology isnât worth anything to me,â he said expressionlessly.
Vicky knew that a simple apology would not compensate for the pain he had suffered, but she had no
other way to express her remorse.
Tyler seemed to have read her mind and said, âBut if you truly think that youâve wronged me, you ought
to put your regret and guilt into action.â
She looked at him. âWhat?â
He bent down and trailed his finger down her cheek, and neck, and continued to trail downward.
Vicky twitched and shoved him aside. âTyler, no!â
Tyler remained expressionless, but the darkness in his eyes intensified. âWhy not? Are you saving
yourself for Noah?â He drawled in a voice as smooth as an aged scotch, âI caught you twice now. Will
he really believe that nothing has happened between us?â
âNoah and Iâ¦â she muttered. âWeâre not like that. We areââ
âDonât tell me that nothing happened between you two. You admitted yourself that you and Noah have
alreadyâ¦â Tyler paused, and his glare sharpened. âWhy would you give yourself to him but not me?â
The emotions that he had been suppressing exploded at last. âHow is he better than me?!â
Vicky rarely saw Tyler showing his emotions without holding back and was terrified by his anger.
She backed away instinctively, and from Tylerâs perspective, she seemed appalled by him.
All the merciless words Vicky had said to him crossed his mind at this moment.
âTyler, do you really think that I love you? You are wrong. I only loveâ¦your money.â
