Chapter 501
Vicky rarely smiled at Tyler, so he was dazed at the sight of her beaming smile.
He tightened his hand around hers. âWhy donât I take you outside to have a look?â
She thought about it for a few moments and nodded. âSure.â
She would either refuse or remain quiet whenever Tyler offered to take her somewhere, so the sudden
change in her attitude surprised Tyler.
He stood and slowly wheeled her out of the restaurant.
Boom!
Fireworks blossomed in the sky above them the moment they got outside, and Vicky stared at the sky
calmly as she thought, âItâs all going to beâ¦over soon.â
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she did not even notice Tyler walking away. By the time she
snapped out of her trance, he returned with a beautiful bouquet in his hand.
âThis is for you.â
He handed the bouquet to her, and she accepted it after a few moments of silence.
It was a bouquet of crimson roses, but Vickyâs mind was taken to the sight of the crabapples she once
saw on the internet.
There was a photo of Tyler giving a bouquet of crabapples to Gloria, who accepted it shyly.
âThank you.â She looked at him. âI love it.â
The streetlights shone around them, but their lights were hardly enough to brighten the night sky.
The firework show came to a pause, and Vickyâs features seemed surreal in the faint lighting.
He bent down and looked her in the eyes. âIf you like it, shouldnât I be rewarded?â he muttered in a
gentle voice.
She studied his face for a few moments and planted a kiss on his cheek. It was the first time she kissed
him without being threatened into doing so ever since she asked for a divorce.
The look in his eyes darkened, and he gulped. âThatâs it?â
His voice grew hoarse, and his eyes dark with lust.
She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck to peck his lips. Just when she was about to back
away, he held her in place by the back of her neck and deepened the kiss.
Vicky did not resist as she usually did and responded.
Tyler jolted in shock by the sudden change before kissing her more passionately.
Boom! The fireworks went off again, and their silhouettes entangled under the lights.
After the show, Vicky suggested that they return to their room.
Instead of pushing her back in her wheelchair, he lifted her up and carried her into the room.
As soon as the door was closed, he pinned her against the door and devoured her lips.
âTylerâ¦â She dodged his kiss and said, âLetâs go back to the bedroom.â
âNo,â he said, before kissing her again.
After some time, he let go of her and added, âThatâs not my name.â
She seemed confused as she tried to catch her breath. âI shouldnât call you Tyler?â
Vicky always addressed him that way.
The look in his eyes darkened further. âNo.â He moved closer to kiss her once again and did not stop
until she was on the brink of suffocating.
By the time he let her go, his eyes were ink-black with lust.
