The crisp, familiar sound of a light switch being flipped echoed in the night.
Before the light was turned off, she felt as though she was suffocating from the familiar sight, but she
realized that her panic worsened when the light was off.
Tyler did not notice her reaction and went to bed before pulling her into his arms.
She jolted and started to struggle. Tyler, who did not expect her to react this way, was shoved away.
"What's wrong?" his emotionless voice echoed in the air.
She tried to comb through her thoughts and said, "I'm sorry, but I’m...a bit afraid of the dark."
It was hardly a good excuse as a companion should ease one's fear of the darkness.

"Tyler, I-"
Before Vicky could explain what had happened, he interrupted her and said, "I'm sorry, Vicky."
She froze, baffled as to why he would apologize when it was all her fault.
His voice echoed in the dark. "I didn't believe you when you said that you were kidnapped before.
That's why you got kidnapped by my enemies."
Silence fell over them.
Vicky realized that there was only a thin line between heaven and hell, and she had been wandering
around the line for the past few days.
Just when she thought that Tyler had given up on her, Tyler appeared at her rescue at her most
devastating moment.
She had not told Tyler the truth back in Lovian because she did not want him to declare war against
Forever Night. Since they were back in Stoneford City, she knew that she was supposed to tell him the
truth, but she did not know how to begin.
Vicky remained quiet, as was Tyler as though he was already asleep.
After some time, she summoned the courage to say, "Aren't you going to ask me why I was in Lovian?"
Tyler knew about the divorce paper in her study, so a man as sharp as he was must know what she
intended to do.
"I know," he said calmly. "You wanted to divorce me."
"And you don't blame me for it?"
"It's my fault, so why should I blame you?"
"Your fault?"

were kidnapped, you wouldn't be so disappointed in me or want a divorce that badly."
He lowered his head and leaned against her as he whispered into her ear." I'm sorry, Vicky. I
misunderstood you. I'll make it up to you from now on."
His embrace was warm, but Vicky could still feel her blood running cold.
Tyler believed that she had been kidnapped by his enemy.
As he mentioned, the crack in their marriage started appearing when he refused to believe that she
was kidnapped.
Since she went missing, he felt that he had misunderstood her and forgave her for running away with
ease. In truth, however, the kidnapping this time had nothing to do with Tyler's enemy.
