Vicky did not quite understand what Tyler meant. âTyler, itâs really, really late. Can you please just let
the whole bracelet thing go?â
Tyler threw her a cold glance. âI will if you just put it on.â
Vickyâs face darkened. âLook here, Tyler, Iâm not your pet. I have the right to say no to the things I donât
want to do.â
âAre you going to put it on or not?â
âNo! Argh!â
Once again, Vicky found herself being forcefully pinned down with her mouth smothered by Tylerâs. Her
entire body was shaking with anger. She wanted to sink her teeth into his lips again, but Tyler had
obviously learned from his previous mistake. He violently grabbed her chin to prevent her from biting as
he plunged himself deeper and deeper into her.
Vicky was starting to go red in the face from anger and the lack of oxygen while Tylerâs breathing
became more haphazard as he kissed her again and again. Vicky knew there was no getting out of it
anymore, but she could not shake the raging storm inside of her whenever she thought back to how
she waited for him alone in the restaurant, vehemently wishing for his arrival, while he went to save
Gloria instead.
Never had she felt as resentful as she did then. She punched him, slapped him, bit him, and scratched
without caring how she looked. However, all that only had the effect of making Tyler behave even more
aggressively.
In the end, Vicky had no more strength left, so she let Tyler do whatever he wanted with her. Suddenly,
she remembered he had never forced himself on her during the time they were in love. In fact, he
would immediately stop at the slightest hint of refusal. Then again, he really loved her then and at this
momentâ¦
âSo itâs true what they sayâ¦a man will treat you like a queen when heâs in love with you and worse than
a dog if heâs not,â thought Vicky. She choked back a sob as tears dripped down from the corners of her
eyes.
This caught Tylerâs attention, and he stopped moving. He looked at her tear-stained lashes, and an
emotion that was too fast to capture flickered across his face. He quickly bent down his head and
kissed each teardrop on Vickyâs face.
However, that was as gentle as he was going to be. In the end, he still showed Vicky with his actions
that he was no longer the man he was back then.
â¦
The next day, Vicky woke up groggily from her sleep. She had a splitting headache and felt sore all
over her body. With some difficulty, she sat up from the bed and massaged her temples.
There was the faint sound of a running shower coming from the bathroom; it seemed like Tyler had not
left for the office yet. Vicky reached out her hand to pick up her phone by the bed, but it was then she
noticed the bracelet clasped around her wrist.
It was the âbirthday presentâ Tyler gave her last night. He must have put it on her after she had fallen
asleep. After staring blankly at it for a few seconds, she reached out her other hand to take off the
bracelet but failed to do so in the end. It seemed like she had no strength left in her hand after all the
struggle she had to do last night.ninjanovel.com content.
Vicky had no choice but to temporarily give up on the idea. She would come back to the task after she
had finished her breakfast and regained her strength. Subsequently, she picked up her phone to check
for missed calls and messages. However, as soon as she unlocked her phone, news after news
popped up on her screen. Her eyes snapped wide open, and she immediately clicked into one of the
news.
At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Tyler came walking out with the towel wrapped around
his lower body. Drops of water dripped from the ends of his hair, down to his well-toned and graceful
body.
Vicky was used to seeing him half-naked, so she only gave him a side-eye before turning her attention
back to the news on her phone.
Tyler walked over to his side of the bed and turned on his phone, which started ringing as soon as it
was on. He answered the phone and the sound of Harryâs panicking voice immediately echoed into the
room.
âBad news, Mister Hart! Miss Gloria has killed herself!â
