Tyler then took a sip of the water himself.
Vicky felt even more confused, but she was too thirsty to care and drank all the water in the glass.
Her throat felt less dry, and her voice was not as hoarse. âTyler, what are youââ
Before she could ask what he was plotting, he pulled her into his arms.
He lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead before burying his nose into her neck, muttering in his
melodious voice, âYou are the best, Vicky.â
She froze and wondered if she heard him correctly.
He never once said something like that throughout their time as a couple, even after he kidnapped her.
She was so dumbfounded that she started having ridiculous thoughts, wondering if he was possessed.
Soon, her confusion was lifted.
He planted gentle kisses on her cheek and whispered, âIâm sorry for misunderstanding your relationship
with Noahâ¦â
She remained dazed for a while before coming to a realization.
The sheets had not been changed, and the spot of blood on them stood out.
âI seeâ¦â Vicky thought. Her expression darkened as the memories of what happened flushed back to
her. She struggled and shoved Tyler away.
âStay away from me,â she said.
Tyler did not insist and said, âIâll bring dinner in.â He then stood and stepped out of the room.
As the door was shut, tears scrolled down Vickyâs cheeks.
She was not upset that her innocence had been taken from her but was devastated at the knowledge
that she could never get back together with Tyler.
Footsteps approached, and Tyler returned with food. âEat something.â
Vickyâs expression hardened, and she looked away. âI donât want to eat.â
Seeing how she did not have the intention to eat, he picked up the spoon and tried to feed her. âOpen
up.â
Frustrated, she pushed his hand away. âI told you I donât want to eat, Tyler!â
Vickyâs hand brushed past the tray, sending all the plates onto the floor along with the food on them.
Tension rose in the air, and the look in Tylerâs eyes darkened.
Vickyâs heart sank.
âVicky, stop this,â he said in a gentle voice, but his gaze remained cold. âItâs not good for your health to
not eat.â
âI donât have an appetite,â she said.
âIf you donât want to eat, are you in the mood for something else?â He placed a hand on the back of her
head abruptly and captured her lips.
Vicky was stunned and lost all ability to move.
Tyler seemed so gentle at first, yet he transformed into a completely different persona simply because
she did not want to eat.
