He had more important matters to attend to.
…
Vicky was thrown onto the bed roughly, and as the door was slammed shut, she could feel herself trembling.
Tyler’s 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 Tyler’s heart. His lips curled into a cold
sneer as he said, “Vicky, you can literally be with anyone but me, is that right?”
“…” Vicky was clueless as to what he was saying but dared not to respond out of fear that she might provoke him
further.

The air seemed to have frozen around them, and the look in his eyes darkened. “As expected,” he mumbled. “I’m
the only one you won’t be with.”
Her heart sank at the look on his face. “Tyler…”
His lashes fluttered at the sound of her voice, and he lifted his gaze.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered.
“Sorry about what?”
She bowed her head. “For everything… Sorry.”
The look in his eyes darkened bitterly, and he thought, ‘Just what was I expecting? That she’s going to say that she
has reasons for doing what she did?’
“Vicky, your apology isn’t worth anything to me,” 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, “But if you truly think that you’ve wronged me, you ought to put your
regret and guilt into action.”
She looked at him. “What?”
He bent down and trailed his finger down her cheek, and neck, and continued to trail downward.
Vicky twitched and shoved him aside. “Tyler, no!”
Tyler remained expressionless, but the darkness in his eyes intensified. “Why not? Are you saving yourself for
Noah?” He drawled in a voice as smooth as an aged scotch, “I caught you twice now. Will he really believe that

nothing has happened between us?”
“Noah and I…” she muttered. “We’re not like that. We are—”
“Don’t tell me that nothing happened between you two. You admitted yourself that you and Noah have already…”
Tyler paused, and his glare sharpened. “Why would you give yourself to him but not me?”
The emotions that he had been suppressing exploded at last. “How is he better than me?!”
Vicky rarely saw Tyler showing his emotions without holding back and was terrified by his anger.
She backed away instinctively, and from Tyler’s perspective, she seemed appalled by him.
All the merciless words Vicky had said to him crossed his mind at this moment.
“Tyler, do you really think that I love you? You are wrong. I only love…your money.”
