Chapter 810


    “Why won’t you believe me?” Vicky asked. “You’ve seen and met more people than I do, and you


    should know that people change. You only refuse to believe me because you don’t want to ept


    reality as it is. Tyler, there really isn’t a point in obsessing over the past… I know you’re a better man


    than that.”


    “I won’t believe you,” Tyler repeated.


    “What can I do to make you believe, then?”


    Tyler fell into silence, and Vicky knew that Tyler was merely in denial.


    “Tyler, we haven’t dated for long, and you…don’t really love me that much anyway. You are just


    frustrated that I dumped you, so—”


    “No.” He interrupted her. “It’s not that.”


    “Is that so? You’ve never once said that you love me throughout the time we spent together.”


    Vicky had confessed her love to him on multiple asions during their first anniversary, but Tyler


    simply held her close and kissed her in silence.


    Vicky knew that Tyler was not a man who was used to showing his emotions and would never allow


    himself to say such romantic words, so she did not pay much mind to it at the time.


    However, when one was looking for an excuse to end a rtionship, even the smallest detail began to


    stand out.


    Tyler held onto her wordlessly, and Vicky was not disappointed by his silence. She simply shoved him


    away, and he did not reach out for her again.


    She walked out of the room and shot him onest nce to find him standing still with his eyes on the


    ground.


    …


    Regaining a certain level of freedom, Vicky scanned the house.

    She was restrained in the house, and since there was a digital lock on the door, she could not get out


    without the password.


    The house was spacious with anything one could possibly need.


    She opened the door to one of the rooms and found a study that disyed all sorts of books rted to


    art and music.


    The paint of the brand she used all the time was ced on the table; it became clear that Tyler had


    prepared the study for her sake.


    She studied the books and realized that Tyler had been busy nning the kidnap and where he would


    take her during the time he vanished.


    Vicky arrived at the living room and spotted a few pots of nts by the balcony, and she noticed that


    they were brought from Tyler’s apartment.


    The nts were small when they were bought, but after a year, they had grown drastically.


    Vicky stared at the flowers dazedly before turning her attention to the television and turning it on.


    She changed the channel to a finance channel and proceeded to listen to the news.


    When she saw that Tyler’spany was consumed by a hostile takeover, her fingers tightened around


    the remote controller.


    ‘Tyler spent years in thatpany…’ she thought.


    Vicky knew better than anyone how much Tyler valued his career, yet Tyler seemed to have lost


    everything overnight.


    Just then, Tyler arrived in the living room as well.


    He nced at the news and looked away calmly as though what was being reported was not rted to


    him.


    Though he kept hisposure, Vicky failed to do so. “Tyler, what’s going on? Yourpany…” she


    trailed off.


    “You saw it,” he said expressionlessly. “I’m cornered and left with nothing, so I am capable of anything.”
