Chapter 974
The air immediately became thick with tension once the question was out of Vickyâs mouth. No matter
how obtuse she was, she could sense something was not right with Tyler. âHe was the one who asked
for the divorce so why is he doing this to me?â Vicky thought.
After a few seconds of silence, Tyler finally said, âPerhaps youâre right. Itâll be unfair to you if I ask you
to stay away from other men when Iâm not your husband anymore.â
He reached out his hand and gently brushed her lips with his fingers. âI have an idea. You can be my
lover and weâll treat each other just like we did before. What do you think?â
It took a long while for Vicky to process what he just said.
âTyler, is this another one of your ways of taking revenge on me?â she asked with shock.
He was the one who forced me into getting a divorce with him and now he wants me to be his secret
lover? Is this my karma for heartlessly dumping him in the past?â thought Vicky.
âRevenge?â Tyler did not seem to agree with her interpretation of things. âNo, you should see it as an
honor instead.â
âAn honor? Youâve got to be kidding me, right?â
âDo you know how many women out there would like to be my lover?â Tyler looked at her. âAnd
amongst them are countless famous socialites who come from better backgrounds than you.â
Tyler was not exaggerating. With his status and his looks, he could get any woman he wanted. In fact,
he did not even have to lift a finger and the women would be throwing themselves at him. Girlfriend,
wife, mistress, or secret lover, it did not matter what title he gave them, and they would still be willing to
do anything he asked of them.
âI guess Iâm the exception then,â said Vicky coldly.
Tylerâs eyes darkened. Looking into his eyes was like staring into the abyss.
âYes, youâre the exception.â
Vicky frowned.
âAre you not happy?â Tyler asked suddenly.
The change of topic was too fast for Vicky to grasp what he was really asking.
âWhat?â
Tyler looked at her with a faint smile on his lips. âYou must be happy to get divorced from me. Your ex-
boyfriend, exfiance, and Lincoln⦠all these men around you⦠My oh my, you sure are a busy woman.â
The mockery in his tone caused Vicky to shake with anger.1 They say a womanâs heart is hard to
understand⦠Well, thatâs because they havenât met a man like Tyler! Heâs getting more and more
ridiculous by the minute!â
She looked straight into Tylerâs eyes and curled her lips into a mocking smile. âYouâre right. I have so
many men around me⦠and it seems like I can add⦠an ex-husband to the list.â
Tylerâs eyes immediately darkened when the word âex- husbandâ came out of her lips.
âSo, you were only pretending to not want to get divorced?â
Vicky was baffled for a moment. âWhat are you talking about?â
Tylerâs eyes became darker and darker as if she had just confirmed his conjecture.
âWho was the one who gave you the idea? Was it Harvey? Or Lincoln? It must be Lincoln! Youâve been
helping him to spy on me all along, havenât you?â
Vickyâs face was pale with anger. âYouâre being ridiculous! Tyler Hart, weâre already divorced, and might
I remind you that you were the one who asked for the divorce! It doesnât matter whether I was being
real or just putting on an act. Whatâs done is done!â
She paused here to take some deep breaths to calm herself down.
âTyler, Iâm not some pet who is at your beck and call. Iâm willing to admit that Iâve done some horrible
things to you in the past, and thatâs why Iâm willing to forgive you for taking revenge on me. I donât
blame you for what youâve done to me at all, nor do I have the intention to hurt you like how you hurt
me.
âBecause, at the end of the day, I deserve all the hurt you inflicted upon me. However, that ended the
moment we signed the divorce papers. I donât owe you anything anymore, and if you still want to take
revenge on me or think that I havenât been hurt enough or⦠you feel like you want to have me under
your thumb againâ¦â
Vickyâs eyes, which were illuminated by the dim car lights, were exceptionally pure and bright as if they
could cleanse oneâs soul just by looking at them.
She looked deeply into Tylerâs eyes and said, âIâm sorry to say this, but I wonât play your games
anymore. If you continue to threaten me like before⦠I definitely wonât sit still and let you have your
way.â
Tylerâs revenge on her had caused her immeasurable pain.
