“Vicky, wake up,” a nervous voice called out. “Vicky? Vicky!”
Vicky opened her eyes and placed a hand on her head before realizing that Gloria was right by her side.
“Gloria?” sputtered Vicky and was instantly surprised by how hoarse her voice sounded.
Gloria stared into the dazed look in Vicky’s eyes and asked, “What happened, Vicky?
“… Nothing.”
Gloria was startled by how Vicky suddenly fainted. She tried to wake Vicky, but nothing she did seemed to work.
She studied the pale look on Vicky’s face and asked, “Vicky, did you…remember something?”
Vicky lifted her eyebrows. “Yeah. I did remember something,” she drawled.
A conflicted look appeared on Gloria’s face. “Have you recovered all your memories?”

getting late, so I need to go now.”
Vicky stood up and walked toward the door.
“Vicky,” Gloria called out. “Do you still love him?”
Vicky paused, but instead of turning around, she said, “What about you?”
Gloria froze and was instantly at a loss for words.

…
The afternoon sun shone upon Vicky, but her limbs remained cold.
She stared at her shadow and felt a pounding pain in her head.
She received too many memories at once, and it was hard for her to process everything.
Vicky tried her best to remain conscious and returned home.

Vicky’s expression darkened, and she replied, [Tyler came over all of a sudden, but I hid, so I don’t think he saw
me.]
[Sorry.] The man replied. [My men didn’t find out that he was going there in time and couldn’t get words to you.]
[No. I should thank you for this.] Vicky replied.

there.]
[Gloria? So Tyler is keeping his mistress there?] The mysterious man seemed surprised, which was what Vicky would

In her sleep, she had more dreams than she could remember and the one dream that was stuck in her mind was
her final farewell with Tyler.
“It really was you, Vicky.
