To distract Tyler, Vicky said, “I asked Alex when Gloria was kidnapped, and he said he didn’t do it. I know him, and
he wouldn’t deny his involvement if he was responsible.”
“You’ve only met him a few times, and you claim to know him?” Tyler mocked.
Vicky wanted to argue that she knew Alex since they were children, but that only made sense if she did not lose her
memories.
Ever since she suffered from amnesia, she had only met with Alex a few times.
Noticing her silence, Tyler said, “When Gloria comes back, I’ll let her do whatever she wants with Alex. According to
what I know about Gloria, she wouldn’t go too far. I don’t want to hear any more of this.”
His mood was seemingly affected by the mention of Alex, and he was distracted from the earlier discussion, so he
simply picked Vicky up and carried her back to the bedroom.

“Vicky, are you afraid of me?”
“Why are you running away? Have I not treated you well?”
“Vicky, don’t go. I won’t hurt you…”
“Ah!” Vicky jolted awake screaming and panting heavily.
Her pajamas were completely drenched in sweat, and as she saw the sunlight shining into the room through the
curtains, she realized that it was all just a nightmare.
She glanced at her feet and could still feel the hand in her dream dragging her into the depths of hell.
Thankfully, Tyler was not in the room, or she would not be able to make any more excuses to explain her behavior.
After washing up, Vicky skipped her breakfast and picked up her phone to send a text to a certain number that she
remembered.
She could barely contain her excitement and was trembling. It took a few attempts for her to type a comprehensive
sentence.
[Why did you make me marry Tyler back then?]
She finally remembered the mysterious person who had been helping her a long time ago.
She never met them before, but they had helped her time and time again, so she trusted this person without a
doubt in her mind even though they had never met.
She tried finding out who this person was, but they managed to keep their identity so hidden that she had no clue
as to their gender, age, or nationality.
Both Harvey and Tyler had tried to look into this person as well, but none of them had found anything.
When Tyler’s power and influence began to extend, he started to find some traces that this mysterious person had
left behind, and to remain hidden, Vicky stopped corresponding with the mysterious person.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe did not know if the phone number she remembered was still in service, but there was an unspoken rule
between her and the mysterious person, and that was to never call one another.
Vicky once wondered if this person had an ulterior motive for helping her, but they had not asked for anything in
return ever since they stopped corresponding.
‘Can someone really help without expecting anything in return?’ she thought.
She waited patiently for a long time after that, but she did not receive any response as though the message was
lost.
There were times when she grabbed her phone, wanting to call the number, but stopped herself.
She knew better than to break the rule between them.
There was no response to Vicky’s text for the rest of the day, and as she stared at the screen of her phone, she
recalled the nameless man she ran into.
The man did not exist in any of her memories. Whatever questions she asked, he brushed her off by saying she
would know when she remembered everything.
