Vicky stared at Tyler and waited for his response.
He looked at her thoughtfully. âDo you really admit to your mistakes?â
âYes. I know that I was wrong.â
âAnd you wonât do it again.â
âI wont. This is the last time.â
He studied the hope in her eyes and said, âI still think that the surgery gives me more security
compared to your promise.â
She froze, and the hope in her eyes faded. She stared at him and whispered, âWere you toying with
me?â
He lifted an eyebrow but did not deny it. âThatâs right.â
âIs it fun to toy with me?â
âItâs fun, but most importantly, I want you to have a taste of what itâs like to be toyed with,â Tyler said
casually. âAt least I didnât promise you something, only to break that promise, did I?â
He started marching forward again, and Vicky could no longer suppress her emotions. âWhy wonât you
just kill me, Tyler?! Who are you to do this to me?! How dare you?!â
âI can do this because Iâm your husband!â he said.
Soon, the two arrived at the surgery room where the doctors were already waiting by the door. Mister
Hart, all preparation for the surgery is done.â
âAlright.â Tyler nodded.
It could take years for one to protect what was important to them, but it would only take one moment to
destroy it. The same applied to both love and oneâs body.
Fear swarmed her, and she struggled to get up from the bed to run away from this hellish place. âI donât
want thisâ¦â
Instead of consoling her, Tyler simply studied the pale look on her face and said, âYouâve lost all
strength to fight back after starving yourself for days.â He caressed her cheek and chuckled. âThat
saved me quite a lot of trouble. II
She grabbed his hand frantically and pleaded, âTyler, I wonât run again⦠Please. Please donât do this to
me! I can do anything so long as you spare me for this time!â
The fear was so distinct in her eyes as all colors faded from her face. She trembled as she looked at
Tyler like he was the god that held her fate in his hands.
Though the Shaws had fallen, Vicky grew up being educated as a high-born lady, and no matter what
happened, she had always remained prideful.
However, her pride had finally shattered before Tylerâs relentless attempt to destroy her. At that
moment, she had lost the last strand of pride she had.
Vicky had never been so terrified, and Tyler felt slightly dazed as he looked at her.
âTyler, letâs go home⦠Letâs go home, okay?â Tears fell from her eyes. âYou can lock me up if you want
to, and I wonât go outside if you wonât let me. From now on, Iâll do as you sayâ¦â
