Ch. 331..340
Loving You In Secret Chapter 331-Tyler pulled her closer when he spotted the insecure look on Vicky's face." It's alright now.’
Vicky slowly calmed down under his consolation.
The lights inside the room were warm, and so was his expression.
Vicky's heart settled, and she whispered, "I'm okay. Thank you."
"We're married. I'm just doing my duty," he said.
His temperature slowly melted her anxiety, and it was unlike anything she ever experienced before.
'Is this what it means to feel safe?' she thought.
When she woke up the next morning, she was still dazed about what happened. The curtains fluttered slightly in the breeze, and the sunlight shone into the room.
Vicky sat up in the bed and glanced around to find that Tyler was gone.
She got out of bed and opened the curtains when she heard the door opening and a familiar voice following a second later.
"Awake?"
She turned around, feeling slightly shocked. "Why aren’t you at work?"
She knew better than anyone about how busy Tyler was with work.
He was dressed in a casual outfit that emphasized his height and did not look as distant as he usually did.
He walked into the room and said, "Yeah, I just want to take a break."
Vicky lowered her gaze as emotions overwhelmed her. ' I'm fine. You don't have to stay home with me."
"There's nothing much going on in the office. I can always work from home. " He walked over to her and took her hand. "Breakfast is ready. Let's head downstairs."
Vicky nodded.
For some reason, Vicky felt like Tyler had become more approachable.
Even when they were trying to work on their marriage in the past, there was still a wall between them, but he no longer seemed as cold.
After breakfast, Tyler looked at Vicky and said, "We haven't found your phone. Do you want to go outside and buy a new one?"
She instantly refused. "I don't want to go outside. Just get someone to buy a new phone for me."
She was traumatized since she was kidnapped, and she did not want to go out.
Tyler did not press on and said, "Sure."
She looked up at his breathtakingly handsome face and said, "Tyler, there's something that I need to tell you."
He narrowed his eyes.
Inside the study, Vicky opened her mouth hesitantly but struggled to get the words out.
Tyler, on the other hand, waited patiently without rushing her.
After a while, she finally summoned enough courage and bit onto her lower lip. "Tyler, there's something that...l need to clarify."
Loving You In Secret Chapter 332-Vicky could have chosen to hide the torment she had gone through.
Forever Night had not told Tyler the truth, and Tyler misunderstood that it was his enemy who kidnapped her, so no one would know unless she said otherwise. However, she could not stand the deception and lies that were crushing her conscience.
"Believe it or not, I wasn't..." she mumbled. "Tyler, this isn't about your enemies... I brought this on myself... If you want a divorce..."
Her speech was ruffled and so were her thoughts, so she had no clue what she was saying.
Before she could finish, Tyler held her close, and her eyes widened in shock. He wrapped his arms around her so tightly that she could feel her bones whining.
"I’m sorry," he said hoarsely into her ear. "You wouldn't have gone through all that had it not been for me."
She froze.
"It's my fault that you want to run from me and get a divorce." His voice was thick with suppressed emotions.
"Tyler, it's not like that. The truth is-"
Before she could finish, he interrupted her, "I know what you're trying to say, Vicky, but I'm not divorcing you no matter what you went through."
She could not see his face and could only see their entwined shadows on the wall; she could feel her heart beating once again as hope filled her.
"Really?" she questioned in disbelief.
Tyler let her go and looked into her eyes. "I'm sorry, Vicky, for doing such a bad job in protecting you."
Though it was only a few words, she was set free, and tears filled her eyes.
She had been wary and prejudiced against Tyler ever since she lost her memories. She never truly trusted him nor had she thought of relying on him.
She developed feelings for him once, but those feelings meant nothing in the face of the future and reality.
She weighed the gains and the losses and decided to divorce Tyler, so it was not a reckless decision nor was it the inevitable conclusion due to a failed romance.
She kept a leveled head through every choice she made, but at this moment, she suddenly felt as though the hole inside her heart had been filled.
Vicky looked at the man before her through the tears in her eyes, and he reached out to wipe away her tears.
"None of this is your fault, and you didn't bring this upon yourself. You can blame me or the person who kidnapped you, but you should never blame yourself," he said before pulling her back into his arms once again, only gentler this time. "If I abandon my wife simply because she was hurt by others, can I still call myself a man?"
All her pretenses melted away, and she could no longer hold back from breaking down in tears.
She never felt more fragile, and it was at that moment that she finally let her guard down in front of him.
Tyler tapped her back rhythmically and consoled her gently, "Cry if you want to. I'll be here with you forever."
Her tears fell even faster at his words, and her sight was blurred.
She would never expect that all the words that she did not get to say would soon become her nightmare in the foreseeable future, nor had she noticed the dark look in Tyler's eyes as they held onto one another.
Loving You In Secret Chapter 333-With Tyler's companion, Vicky's emotion soon stabilized, and she was no longer so terrified of darkness.
However, due to the week-long imprisonment she endured, she could not stand to be alone and became rather clingy, but Tyler had not shown any annoyance toward it.
He eventually needed to return to the office and could not stay home with her all the time, so he took her to the office with him out of concern that she might have a mental breakdown if she was left alone at home.
It was not the first time she went to Hart Corporation with Tyler, but it was the first time she sat by Tyler even during business meetings.
It was not that she was that desperate for companionship to the point that she could not be alone for a second. She planned on reading a book in his office while he went for the meeting, but Tyler seemed to be worried and insisted that she come along.
Inside the meeting room, the managers and the shareholders traded knowing glances when they saw Vicky next to Tyler, but no one mentioned anything.
In Hart Corporation, Tyler held over 80 percent of the share, and his words were absolute.
The crisis that took place a few years ago gave him the opportunity to gather most of the shares to his possession, and because of that, all the shareholders were confident in his capability.
They never interfered with Tyler's private life because they knew that he would never do anything that would affect the company negatively over women.
Once Tyler took his seat, the managers started to report the latest update in their respective departments.
Tyler had been at home for the past three days and even taken a trip to Lovian before that, but his work had not suffered at all.
They started discussing the contract Tyler had signed in Auran. "Auran seems keen to work with us, and Mister Hart has even raised the profit by five percent by going to the negotiation himself. Once we forge our way into the Auran market, there will be no limits to how far this firm can grow."
The discussion went on cheerfully.
Just then, someone voiced out, "Mister Hart, I've read the proposal you sent us, and I saw that your next step is to buy Mills Group out. The Mills are a powerful family in Stoneford City, but they've shifted their business to overseas markets over the years. Buying Mills Group won't mean anything to us.’
Vicky was not overly interested in business and had not paid much attention to the conversation, but she twitched when she heard the mention of Mills Group.
She barely survived Forever Night and completely forgot about Sebastian until they mentioned Mills Group.
Sebastian was the one who aided her to escape to Lovian, and he was the one who came to pick her up from the airport. However, on their way to her apartment, they ran into an accident, and that was precisely how she caught unwanted attention, which led to her kidnap.
As she tried to make sense of her train of thought, Tyler said emotionlessly, "Mills Group doesn't mean much to us here, but the Mills Group branch in Lovian is different."
The others fell into silence, and one of the shareholders said, "Due to its economic system, Lovian has a great gap between the poor and the wealthy, and its market doesn't hold as much potential as other countries. Besides, we have no branch in Lovian, and it'd be challenging enough to get through to the Lovian market, not to mention buying out the Mill Group branch there."
The shareholder tried to be subtle but clearly looked down on Lovian and Mills Group.
Another shareholder agreed, saying, "Hart Corporation is growing rapidly, and there are countless countries that want to work with us. There were more options that require less input and promise great revenue. There's no point in wasting our time and resources in Mills Group."
"Mills Group planted their roots deep in Lovian, and I heard that Sebastian Mills is close with the Lovian president. Lovian is a xenophobic country, and we might not be able to make any profit by just barging in."
Tyler listened to them calmly before saying, 'Our network has been attacked some time ago, and we've found the culprit behind it." He then shot Harry a glance.
Loving You In Secret Chapter 334-Harry nodded and handed out the documents to all the shareholders.
"Mills Group have been wanting to work with Auran, and when they realized there isn't a chance they'll get the deal, they started scheming."
Tyler scanned the faces before him and paused when his gaze landed on Vicky.
The others were instantly absorbed in the discussion as they read the documents in their hands.
"So Mills Group is the one attacking our network?"
"How dare they declare war against us?!”
"Ha! Are they so poor that they can’t even hire a proper hacker? That hacker didn't even get past the first layer of our firewall."
"Had Mister not gone to Auran, Auran would've worked with Mills Group instead..."
"It's just competition, and they should've settled it with dignity instead of playing dirty tricks behind our backs... Mills Group is reaching its end."
"I've met Sebastian Mills a couple of times before. He looks like a gentleman on the outside, but who would've guessed that he's that ruthless deep down inside?"
Vicky narrowed her eyes.
If Hart Corporation's network was indeed breached, all confidential information might be leaked and Tyler would have to focus on handling that instead of going to Auran for the business deal.
However, the hacker failed to infiltrate Hart Cooperation's network, so the plan failed.
Vicky had mentioned to Sebastian a long time ago that she wanted to divorce Tyler, and Sebastian was the one who told her to leave Zendonia so she could get the divorce in Lovian. He arranged the time she left and even told her to take advantage of Tyler's absence.
She had not thought much of it until this very moment, about how everything seemed to line up so perfectly.
If something happened to her in Lovian, Tyler would definitely return to help her, and it would be ideal if he learned about her disappearance before he had the chance to sign the contract.
Vicky felt as though there was a gigantic rock pressing against her chest.
The Mills Group’s scheme completely enraged the shareholders, and they all agreed with Tyler's plan in the end.
After the meeting, everyone left, and Vicky walked out of the meeting room gloomily.
Tyler had bought her a new phone on the second day since she arrived home, but she had not received a single phone call or text message from Sebastian.
It did not fit his role as her childhood friend, and Vicky could not help but think if Sebastian was the one who sold her to Forever Night.
’If it was him, who...was that guy in a mask?!' She was completely absorbed in her thoughts that she did not notice the man standing in front of her.
She kept her head bowed and ran straight into the man's arms and heard his voice saying, "What are you thinking about?"
Loving You In Secret Chapter 335-Vicky looked up and looked away when she met his eyes."... I'm fine."
Tyler narrowed his eyes but did not pressure her into answering. "Let's get lunch.'
"Sure."
They had lunch in Tyler's office, and since Vicky could not bring herself to go outside, she tried her best to stay indoors.
In the afternoon, there were no other meetings, and Tyler stayed in his office to work.
He was occupied, and Harry and Adam would keep coming in and out with documents for him to sign or to report updates about the company.
Vicky's mind drifted for the entire afternoon and did not catch on when Tyler called out to her until he walked toward her.
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?’
Her lashes fluttered, but she could not bring herself to look into his eyes.
If everything discussed during the meeting was true, it was likely that Sebastian was behind her kidnapping.
"Tyler, you still haven't told me how you got me out of Forever Night."
Tyler sat down next to her and leaned backward lazily. "I know the owner of Forever Night, and he was willing to do me a favor."
Vicky had learned some of the details from Jane, so she did not believe a word Tyler said. She looked up and stared into his eyes. "Did you...pay a big price to get me out?"
"It's not a problem if it can be resolved with money," he said with a low voice. "So long as you're safe, nothing else matters."
He did not deny paying a price, and no matter how hard Vicky tried to press on the issue, Tyler refused to give her an answer about what he sacrificed.
Vicky was both touched and overwhelmed by guilt. She felt like the biggest fool that had ever lived for believing an outsider over Tyler.
Tyler had already been affected.
If the Mills' business ran in Lovian, it would mean that the owner of Forever Night might be close to Sebastian. If that was true, Sebastian scammed Tyler into paying him with her as leverage.
Vicky summoned every ounce of her resolution and said, "Tyler, there's something that I haven't told you about."
He lowered his gaze at her. "What is it?”
"Sebastian...was the one who made arrangements for me to run to Lovian."
Tyler's expression darkened, but he did not seem surprised at all. "Yeah. I know."
She studied the composed look on his face in shock. "How did you know?"
"Sebastian is your childhood friend who cares about you. He's the only one who can help you, whom you trust."
She bowed her head in shame.
"Vicky," Tyler said. "Do you know that he once got you drunk to try and sleep with you?"
"The number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment. Please try again later."
Sebastian set his phone down with a dark expression.
He had heard the voicemail message countless times at this point, but Vicky still had not picked up the phone.
Just then, he heard someone knocking on the door, and a beautiful female assistant walked in.
Loving You In Secret Chapter 336-The assistant frowned when she saw the untouched food by Sebastian's desk.
"Mister Mills, you didn’t have lunch. At least have something for dinner."
Sebastian rubbed the bridge of his nose in exhaustion and said, "How can I eat when I haven’t found Vicky?" He looked up at the assistant. "Still no news from Lovian?"
The assistant shook her head. "No."
He scowled. "What about the president? He hasn't heard anything either?"
"Mister Mills, you know what Lovian is like. Even Mister President finds his hands tied in certain places," the assistant said.
Sebastian felt increasingly frustrated.
He caught the news that Vicky went missing the same day she was kidnapped, and there were witnesses who claimed she was taken by two men.
It should not have been difficult for Sebastian to find two local thugs, but the two left Lovian on the same day to his bewilderment.
At this point, Vicky had been missing for over half a month.
He would call Vicky every single day, hoping for a miracle, but she still had not answered the call.
Baam!
Just then, someone barged into the office through the door without knocking.
"Mister Mills!" It was another one of Sebastian's assistants, and he exclaimed excitedly, "We've found Miss Shaw!"
Meanwhile, inside Tyler's mansion, Nanny Paterson placed a plate of sliced fruit on the coffee table and left.
There were guests at home, so Vicky did not follow Tyler to the office.
Once Nanny Paterson left, Cece said, "Vicky, you scared the bejesus out of me! I thought... I thought something happened to you..."
Jennifer agreed and asked, ’Vicky, what on earth happened?"
Cece and Jennifer had come to visit.
Sebastian reached out to them, who were also in Lovian, as soon as Vicky went missing. He knew that it was unlikely for Vicky to be with Cece and Jennifer but remained hopeful.
Ever since they learned about Vicky's disappearance, Cece and Jennifer had been worried and went around searching for Vicky, but there were just two of them, and it was hard for them to track anyone down.
Vicky had helped Jennifer in the past and Jennifer was forever grateful for it, so she called Anthony to ask for his help.
Both Cece and Jennifer knew what it meant to seek Anthony's help, but they could not bother themselves over the consequences when Vicky's life was on the line.
Anthony assisted with the investigation, and they soon learned that Vicky had returned to Zendonia.
Vicky looked at the two apologetically. "Cece, Jennifer, I'm sorry. I forgot to get in touch with you..."
Vicky had suffered mentally and was tormented by nightmares, i
Tyler had made an appointment with a psychologist, who was scheduled to come in the afternoon for counseling.
"We're glad that you're alright, Vicky. We thought..." Cece said hesitantly.
"It's okay. Speak your mind." Vicky smiled.
"We thought that Mister Hart hid you away on purpose," Cece whispered.
Vicky froze. "What makes you think that?"
"Mister Mills has a lot of influence in Lovian, and if it's just an ordinary case of kidnapping, he would've tracked you down a long time ago. He said that you went missing after you got to Lovian, so...there's a possibility that you were followed, and the kidnapper had been waiting for a chance to capture you all along." Jennifer paused to glance at Vicky, before continuing," That's why we thought that Mister Hart found out about your plan..."
Loving You In Secret Chapter 337-Vicky scowled at the mention of Sebastian.
"Tyler didn't hide me away. I was kidnapped, and Tyler was the one who rescued me.’
In the past, Vicky might have had doubts about Tyler, but after all the things that had happened, she trusted Tyler unconditionally.
Vicky hesitated a moment and decided not to mention what she had experienced in Forever Night.
Jennifer could tell the change in Vicky's attitude and asked, "Vicky, you don't intend on traveling overseas now, do you?"
Vicky's blood ran cold at the mention of'overseas' and said, "Yeah. I'm not leaving anything soon."
"Vicky, Missus Williams from Barama emailed me yesterday and said that she loves our dresses. She wants to order another one from us," Cece said.
"Missus Williams?"
"Vicky, you were a guest in the fashion week that took place in Barama a year ago. You met Missus Williams there and designed a dress for her," Cece explained.
If it happened a year ago, it was before Vicky lost her memories, and since she could not even bring herself to go outside, she could not possibly travel overseas.
"Cece, I need a break, so let's not take any orders from overseas."
"Well, why don't I go instead, Vicky?" Cece suggested. "I can get Missus Williams' measurements, and you can design the dress while I give her advice depending on her figure, demeanor, the accessories she plans on wearing, and the occasion."
Private fashion designers needed to do more than just design clothes for their clients; it required far more than knowing the measurements and producing a piece of clothing following the client's request.
The most brilliant designers would have to offer professional advice based on the client and would have to carry out the fitting session on their own to make sure that the clothing fitted perfectly.
"Missus Williams is a big client, and we only managed to open a studio because of how handsomely she paid us," Cece added.
Vicky was traumatized by leaving the country, and she could not help but worry that she would cause trouble to the people around her if she tried.
"Forget it." Vicky looked at Cece and said, "Director Lumber paid for the money for working for the production team, and we have more than
sufficient funds at the moment... The two of you have just returned from Lovian yourselves, so just take some time to rest."
Cece and Jennifer shot one another a confused look.
Vicky had always been dedicated to her work and was extremely hardworking, so she would never turn down an opportunity.
Missus William had hired their service in the past and could afford to pay a fortune that would last the studio for a year, so there was no reason for Vicky to refuse it.
However, since Vicky insisted so, Cece knew better than to argue.
After chatting for a while longer, Cece and Jennifer left.
That afternoon, the psychologist Tyler hired for Vicky came.
Vicky was haunted by nightmares and exhibited extreme fear of darkness and faint lights in the darkness, which came in the way of her normal functioning, and Vicky was tired of living in fear all the time.
After a few days of counseling, the psychologist advised that Vicky go outside more often and could slowly try to adjust herself by starting with places that were packed with people.
Vicky accepted the advice, and after working on it for a month, she was finally freed from her nightmares and fear of the darkness.
On the day of Jennifer's birthday.
Cece and Jennifer had spent a lot of time going outside with Vicky, sensing that Vicky's strange behavior had something to do with the week she went missing.
Loving You In Secret Chapter 338-However, since Vicky refused to say anything, Cece and Jennifer decided that it was better for them to not raise any questions.
With a gift to Jennifer in hand, Vicky arrived at the restaurant half an hour early, and Cece arrived 10 minutes after her.
Vicky was shocked to see that Cece was alone and asked, "Cece, why are you alone? Where's Jennifer?"
Jennifer only knew Cece and Vicky in Stoneford City, and since Cece and Jennifer lived in the same apartment, they would often travel together.
Cece pursed her lips. "That jerk, Anthony, took Jennifer with him this morning."
Vicky narrowed her eyes at the mention of Anthony. "What exactly is going on between...Jennifer and Anthony?"
"That jerk knows no limit to save his mistress!" hissed Cece. "That woman is a goody-two-shoes, and Jennifer suffered so much because of her! Still, it's like Anthony is completely blind to it, and he can't even tell that that woman is faking it..."
Vicky had seen Anthony before and commented, 'Anthony doesn't seem that foolish to me."
"I can find it in my heart to forgive him if he's just stupid, but how can a businessman like him not spot the trick of an ordinary woman? I don't think that Lily Foster can be smarter than the competitors Anthony has to deal with every day!"
Lily Foster was the woman who saved Anthony's life and the goody-two- shoes Cece was referring to.
While they were talking, lightning struck across the sky, and it started raining outside shortly after.
Vicky looked outside the window. "It's raining..."
All the clouds had gathered, and though it was only six in the evening, it was already pitch dark outside.
After a month of therapy, Vicky started to recover and was no longer as frightened when she went outside at night. Still, she was somewhat affected by the sudden approach of darkness.
Ring!
Cece's phone suddenly started ringing, and she answered the call right away. "Jennifer, Vicky and I are here, so when are you and Anthony arriving? What?! That woman is in Stoneford City as well?!" Cece's expression darkened. "How could he leave you on the street when it's pouring outside? Where are you right now? I'm coming to get you!’
Cece hung up after a few words and explained to Vicky, "Vicky, Anthony said he needed to do something and just left Jennifer on the street. Hang tight. I'll go and pick her up."
Vicky stood. "I will come with you."
Cece knew that Vicky was afraid of the dark and quiet.
Anthony had left Jennifer near the outskirts of the city where there were not many people, and as it was dark because of the rain, she shook her head and said, "It's fine, Vicky. I'll go alone. Just wait for us here. I should be back in around forty minutes."
Before Vicky could respond, Cece ran out of the restaurant.
There were a few taxis waiting outside, so Cece caught a taxi right away.
"Vicky."
Just then, a familiar voice was heard from behind Vicky's back.
She turned around and saw an elegant-looking man staring at her. It was Sebastian.
Loving You In Secret Chapter 339-Vicky's expression darkened as she greeted him emotionlessly, "Mister Mills."
Sebastian paled at her cold, distant tone and walked over to grab her by the shoulder. "Vicky, why haven't you answered any of my calls? What on earth happened?"
She shoved his hands aside. "Please keep your distance, Mister Mills."
"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me, Vicky? I know that it's my carelessness that led to you being kidnapped, but-’
"Mister Mills," she interrupted him. "I'm grateful for all that you've done for me... My friends will be back soon. If you don't have anything important to say, please get back to your life."
Sebastian refused to leave and stood before her to stare into her eyes." Vicky, did Tyler Hart say something to you?’
She lifted her gaze slowly and met his eyes. "Are the Harts and the Mills not competitors? Did you not use me to distract Tyler from the deal he was about to make in Auran?"
Sebastian clenched his fists. "I admit that I had selfish intentions when I agreed to help you, but I wasn't using you on purpose."
"Not on purpose? Did you use me by accident, then?”
"Vicky, if you hadn't called me at that time, saying that you want to leave Tyler, I would’ve never involved you in my plan..." Sebastian tried to explain.
Before Vicky reached out to him, Sebastian never thought of using Vicky, but since she happened to want a way out at the same time, the outcome would have been the same even if he chose not to take advantage of her escape plan. However, he could not deny that that thought had crossed his mind.
Vicky had guessed it before and was not overly surprised or emotional at Sebastian's words. She knew that nothing was free in the world, and since she asked for Sebastian's help, there was a price to pay.
"Please go, Mister Mills," she said.
"Vicky, I've been sending my men to look for you, and I've been calling you every single day, but you never once picked up..."
Vicky completely lost her trust in Sebastian and did not take his words seriously.
Seeing how she was ignoring him, he moved to stand before her. "Vicky, listen to me. I looked into how you got kidnapped in Lovian... Henry had an accident on the way, and considering how many people 'happened' to be there to witness it, it might not be an accident at all." He stared at Vicky intently. "Vicky, there aren't that many people who can operate in secret under the Lovian governments' eyes."
"So? What are you trying to say?" She remained expressionless.
"If Tyler learned about your plan ahead of time, he might be able to accomplish that."
Vicky sneered. "So, you are telling me that Tyler did this?"
"He has the motive and the power."
"And what's his motive?"
Sebastian looked into her eyes. "Vicky, do you still want to divorce him?"
Vicky was amused. "Are you trying to tell me that this is all just a big trap Tyler set up so that I won't divorce him?" "It worked, didn't it? You trust him unconditionally now and..." He paused." You no longer wish to divorce him."
Loving You In Secret Chapter 340-Vicky’s expression darkened. "Sebastian Mills, you were the one who suggested that I go to Lovian and arranged everything for me, but you're now blaming it all on Tyler? You said that he knew about the plan. If that's the case...one word from him and I won't even be able to leave Zendonia, so why waste all this effort? You were the only one who knew about the plan apart from me, so how did he find out? Who told him?"
Sebastian was rendered speechless.
He suspected Tyler to be the culprit behind everything that happened, but he had no proof. Tyler had been so careful in the execution of his plan that Sebastian knew that his words did not make much sense.
After a while, he muttered, "Vicky, I really didn't kidnap you."
Tired of the debate, Vicky glanced at the time. "If you aren't leaving, I will."
Vicky had decided to move to another restaurant and turned to walk toward the entrance.
"Vicky, let me explain..." Sebastian ran after her and explained frantically, "I really have nothing to do with the kidnap!"
Alas, she ignored him.
Seeing how she was about to leave, Sebastian reached out to grab her.
"Vicky, I don't have any proof now, but...l swear to God. Tyler Hart has something to do with this! Don't idolize him. He's a ruthless man..."
Vicky wanted to recoil from his hold, but Sebastian held onto her wrist, and she could not shake him off due to the difference in power.
"Sebastian Mills, let go!"
"Vicky, listen to me. I'm not lying to you..."
The door to the restaurant opened abruptly, and the cold breeze escaped inside with raindrops.
A towering man walked in elegantly with a black umbrella.
Sebastian was standing in front of Vicky and was not paying attention to what was behind his back.
Vicky, on the other hand, was annoyed and scowled as she did not want to face Sebastian. The thought of the man with the mask terrified her.
Sebastian gripped tightly onto her wrist, and she could not help but feel disgusted by the touch.
"I'm calling the police if you won't let go!"
"Vicky..." Sebastian was about to say something else when he was pulled away by force.
Sebastian was caught off-guard and fumbled backward against the chair next to him.
A voice colder than ice itself echoed in the air. "Who would've thought that the managing director of Mills Group would shamelessly harass a married woman? Do you enjoy being the lover so much?"
Vick turned around and saw the cold expression on Tyler's face.
"Tyler...?" she muttered. "Why are you here?"
He turned his attention to her and smirked coldly. "Missus Hart, you told me that you'd be home late because you'll be celebrating a friend's birthday... Is this the friend you were referring to?"
