Halfway through, someone knocked on Vickyâs door, and Tyler strolled in with a glass of familiar-
looking liquid.
The scent of herbs filled the air.
Tyler had been busy lately and had ordered someone else to deliver her the tea instead of watching her
drink it himself.
âHeâs making me the tea himself again tonight⦠Is he suspecting something?â she thought.
Vicky had regained 90% of her memories, so the tea no longer had any effect on her.
She accepted the glass and drank the tea in one smooth motion before handing the glass back to Tyler.
He placed it on the table and stared at her lips unblinkingly.
She instinctively looked away, and he simply lowered his head to kiss away the tea that was left on her
lips.
She tensed and wanted to turn away, but he simply placed a hand at the back of her hand and pressed
her closer toward his chest.
Vicky started shivering, which was unusual.
She would resist, obey, or simply lay limp, but she rarely shivered in his arms.
Tyler stopped and lowered his gaze to her.
Vicky lowered her gaze, and he reached out to lift her chin. âWhatâs wrong with you today, Vicky?â
Vickyâs lashes fluttered. âMaybe⦠Maybe I havenât recovered from the nightmare I had.â
He pressed his finger against her lips. âYou dreamed of the car accident, right? So why are you scared
of me?â
â⦠Iâm not scared of you.â
He wrapped his arm around her waist so that their bodies were pressed tightly together, so he could
distinctively sense her trembling.
He studied her face with a half-smile. âYou are scared of me, Vicky.â
Tyler had done a lot of horrible things to her ever since she lost her memories, and her experience in
Forever Night was no better than what she experienced in the past. However, she was younger and
less composed at the time.
âIâ¦â Vicky found it hard to lie under his watchful eyes, but she could not risk letting him know that she
had regained her memories.
She gritted her teeth and met his eyes. âTyler, did you kidnap Alex?â
He narrowed his eyes. âAlex?â
âI canât reach him.â
Tyler was clearly appalled by the mention of Alex. âWhy would you ask me about that?â
âDid you capture him again?â
The look in his eyes darkened. âSo what if I did?â
Vicky froze, and after a while, she said, âBut you let go of Alex once, so whyââ
He interrupted her. âHe asked his friend to pretend to be Gloriaâs fan to kidnap her. Shouldnât he be
punished?â
âSo youâre avenging Gloria?â
âWhen one does something wrong, they need to be punished.â
Vicky wanted to say something but stopped herself from doing so after recalling what happened to
Gloria.
Gloriaâs circumstances were hardly any better than Alexâs. More precisely, she was in a far worse
situation as she was being âtreatedâ.
