Chapter 1623: Chapter 1626

Vicky thought Tyler would leave her alone since he knew she was having her period. However, he still

came every day after that, which disturbed her.

To Vicky, being a kept woman was like being friends with benefits. He would sleep with her when he felt

like it, and when he did not, he would leave her alone.

Thus, she did not expect him to go to her every day like clockwork as though they were a real couple.

“Why aren’t you eating?” came Tyler’s clear voice from across the table. “Is the food not to your liking?”

Vicky snapped back to the present and looked at him. It seemed like he was not that busy at work

these few days since he would leave quite late in the morning and come home every evening at six in

the evening. The two of them even got to eat dinner every night.

“The food’s fine. I was just thinking about work,” she answered.

Tyler left it at that and instead told her, “I have an event I need to go to tomorrow night, and you’re

coming with me.”

His tone left no room for refusal. It was as good as ordering her.

Vicky frowned. ‘ You want me to go with you? I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“Why not?”

After a brief pause, she replied, “Maybe you should bring… Avery instead.”

“I’ve already called off the engagement with her.”

“Yes, that’s why you told the media, but…” Vicky looked at him. “You’re still marrying her after the

scandal has died down, right?”

Tyler looked back at her dully. “I can’t bring her since we’ve announced to the public that the

engagement is off. I don’t want to invite any criticism. Do you understand?”

Avery had been plagued with one scandal after another, so it was indeed best for her to keep a low

profile at that moment. However, it was not like Vicky was the better choice either since she had

garnered some unwanted attention from the media because of Avery as well.

Besides, she had not announced the break-off of her engagement to the public yet. After all, it would

not look good on both her and Harvey if they announced it not long after they got engaged.

That was why she tried everything she could to get Tyler to give her some more time that night. Of

course, she was not as good as Avery when it came to pleasing him.

‘He must be trying to protect Avery by keeping her out of the public eye while he doesn’t care at all

whatever happens to me,’ thought Vicky.

“Can’t you get someone else to go with you?” she asked softly.

“No,” uttered Tyler emotionlessly.

None of them said anything else after that.

Vicky went to work in her study around ten o’clock that night.

Tyler knocked on her door three times before coming in.

“Come to bed,” he ordered.

Vicky kept her eye on the computer screen. “I haven’t finished my work yet, so you can go to sleep

first.”

Tyler remained standing where he was and after a few seconds, he repeated indifferently, “Vicky Shaw,

I’m asking you to come to bed right now.”

“I need this for my meeting tomorrow, so I must finish it tonight,” said Vicky calmly.

Tyler walked upto her, and when Vicky did not do anything, he pulled her head back and kissed her.

It was a kiss of deep possession, and for a moment, Vicky found herself giving in to him. Soon, her

button came off before she could even put up a fight.

Vicky exploded with rage. “Tyler Hart, have you lost your d* mn mind? I told you I can’t-ngh!”

His burning lips enveloped hers again before she could finish her sentence.

Vicky started to panic as it seemed like he was not going to stop until he got what he wanted.
