Chapter 1485
âNo way.â
Unable to summon the strength to push him away, Vicky closed her eyes and leaned helplessly against
his chest. The scent of blood filled her nose, and she felt devastated like she never did before.
The night was quiet and peaceful.
Vicky looked up at Tyler after tending to his wounds. âTylerâ¦â
âIt doesnât hurt,â he said. âI knew what I was doing.â
Vickyâs lips curled into a cold sneer. âAm I supposed to compliment you on your great skills with
knives?â
ââ¦â Tyler fell into silence.
âIâm tired of this.â She looked down. âTyler, I canât accept living with a man who tortures me when he
loses control and mutilates himself when heâs sober.â
Tylerâs heart sank.
âLetâs just-â
âI wonât allow it!â he shouted, interrupting her words.
His gaze darkened with malevolence and ferocity. As he looked into her eyes, he pronounced every
word with intention.
âI wonât allow you to entertain the idea of leaving me, ever.â
Frightened by his intensity, Vicky paled and froze.
Tyler instantly realized that he had forgotten, once again, that she despised threats and coercion.
Realizing this, Tylerâs tense expression eased. âVicky, donât leave me, alright?â
His voice took on a softer, more alluring tone. The gaze he directed at her intentionally adopted a
gentler quality.
He knew, deep down, what kind of man she favored.
However, he never liked pretending and wanted to reveal his most authentic self to her.
Predictably, Vicky wavered, and Tylerâs eyes dimmed slightly.
He disliked this pretense, but for her, he could don the mask and become the type of person she
desired.
Slowly closing the distance between them, he wore an enchanting smile and murmured, âTell me
anything you dislike about me. Iâll change. I promise.â He reached out to grab her hand and continued,
âVicky, promise me you wonât say such things again, okay?â
Entranced, Vicky came close to nodding in agreement.
However, she glimpsed a fleeting trace of obsession in his eyes and suddenly snapped back to her
senses.
She knew there were certain things about him he could never change.
âCan you reallyâ¦change?â she asked.
Believing she had changed her mind, he nodded. âYes.â
âSince you believe you can change, then⦠Letâs proceed with the divorce procedures. Once Iâm certain
youâve truly transformed as you claim, we can consider getting married again.â
The tender facade shattered instantly. The moment he heard the word âdivorceâ, he could not contain
his anger.
âVicky, do you really think Iâm that stupid?â His gaze darkened once again, and his whole demeanor
shifted.â Give up on trying to fool me into divorcing you!â
Vicky had not anticipated his temper to shift so quickly. She flinched at the sight of his undisguised
predatory gaze.
She chose not to further provoke him and instead averted her gaze. âItâs getting late. Letâs rest.â
As she rose, Tyler caught her from behind and whispered huskily, âVicky, you have fully recovered,
right?â
