"Why won't you believe me?" Vicky asked. "You've seen and met more people than I do, and you should know that
people change. You only refuse to believe me because you don't want to accept reality as it is. Tyler, there really
isn't a point in obsessing over the past... I know you're a better man than that."
"I won't believe you," Tyler repeated.
"What can I do to make you believe, then?"
Tyler fell into silence, and Vicky knew that Tyler was merely in denial.
"Tyler, we haven't dated for long, and you...don't really love me that much anyway. You are just frustrated that I
dumped you, so-"

"Is that so? You've never once said that you love me throughout the time we spent together."
Vicky had confessed her love to him on multiple occasions during their first anniversary, but Tyler simply held her
close and kissed her in silence.
Vicky knew that Tyler was not a man who was used to showing his emotions and would never allow himself to say
such romantic words, so she did not pay much mind to it at the time.
However, when one was looking for an excuse to end a relationship, even the smallest detail began to stand out.
Tyler held onto her wordlessly, and Vicky was not disappointed by his silence. She simply shoved him away, and he
did not reach out for her again.
She walked out of the room and shot him one last glance to find him standing still with his eyes on the ground.
Regaining a certain level of freedom, Vicky scanned the house.
She was restrained in the house, and since there was a digital lock on the door, she could not get out without the
password.
The house was spacious with anything one could possibly need.
She opened the door to one of the rooms and found a study that displayed all sorts of books related to art and
music.
The paint of the brand she used all the time was placed on the table; it became clear that Tyler had prepared the
study for her sake.
She studied the books and realized that Tyler had been busy planning the kidnap and where he would take her
during the time he vanished.

Vicky arrived at the living room and spotted a few pots of plants by the balcony, and she noticed that they were
brought from Tyler's apartment.
The plants were small when they were bought, but after a year, they had grown drastically.
Vicky stared at the flowers dazedly before turning her attention to the television and turning it on.
She changed the channel to a finance channel and proceeded to listen to the news.
When she saw that Tyler's company was consumed by a hostile takeover, her fingers tightened around the remote
controller.
'Tyler spent years in that company...' she thought.
Vicky knew better than anyone how much Tyler valued his career, yet Tyler seemed to have lost everything
overnight.
Just then, Tyler arrived in the living room as well.
He glanced at the news and looked away calmly as though what was being reported was not related to him.
Though he kept his composure, Vicky failed to do so. "Tyler, what's going on? Your company..." she trailed off.
"You saw it," he said expressionlessly. "I'm cornered and left with nothing, so I am capable of anything."
