âDonât try to escape,â Tyler warned, âor Iâll chain you up.â
Vicky knew better than to provoke him and remained quiet.
He pushed the tray toward her. âEat.â
She started eating, but she stopped not long after as she did not have an appetite.
Tyler scowled when she set her spoon down. âIs that all youâre eating?â
âI donât have an appetite.â
âEat some more.â
âI canât.â
Tyler stared at her and said forcefully, âEat some more if you donât want me to force-feed you.â
His glare was intimidating, and her heart instantly sank. Scared, she took a few more bites.
After dinner, Tyler collected the tableware, and Vicky took the opportunity to scan her surroundings.
She had seen everything there was to see about the room she was in, so she turned her attention to
the outside.
She walked over to the window and opened the white curtains, only to find bars on the window.
The outside of the house was surrounded by trees without any sight of roads or passers-by.
She seemed to be in a remote area and her heart sank as she thought to herself, âWhere has Tyler
taken me to?â
Click!
Just then, the door opened, and Tyler stepped in to see Vicky staring out of the window dazedly.
âYou can go watch television or read in the study.â
She turned around to look at him. âTyler, where am I?â
He did not answer the question and said, âI prepared canvas here for you, so you can draw as well.â
Losing her patience, she said, âTyler Hart, where on earth am I?â
âWhy do you want to know?â he asked. âDo you think you can get away?â
âWhatâs wrong with you?!â she questioned sharply. âWeâve broken up. Itâs bad enough that you wonât
accept it, and now you kidnap me? Do you not have the right to end the relationship?â
âYou do,â he blurted out. âIâll let you go once you tell me the true reason why you are breaking up with
me.â
âI already told you!â
âThatâs a lie.â
âYou donât believe what I said?â
âI donât.â
Vicky smiled. âIf you donât believe what I said, why would you pick on Noah? Why would you beat him
up to the point that he had to be rushed to the hospital simply because Iâd spent the night at his place?
Tyler, have you considered that that was only one of the many times Iâve been to his house? I started
dating Noah for some time now, and weââ
âThatâs enough!â Tyler interrupted her. âI donât want to hear it.â
âEven if you refuse to hear it, it doesnât mean itâs not true! I might as well tell you the truth. I started
living with Noah when you were sent to prison. Tyler, Iâm not clean anymoreâmph!â
Before she could finish, Tyler was provoked and captured her lips.
She knew that Tyler was possessive and thus provoked him on purpose.
He bit her lip until her skin tore and blood oozed. Clearly, there was not a man on earth who would not
mind that the woman he loved had been with another man.
âTyler, just let me go.â Vicky dodged his advance and said, âWhatâs the point in keeping a woman who
doesnât love you around?â
âThatâs not true.â He buried his head into the crook of her neck and muttered hoarsely, âYou are not that
kind of woman. I wonât believe it.â
