“If I had no ulterior motives, why would I approach Sheila, scheme to sleep with you, stage a coincidence to run into you at the hospital, and let you know about my pregnancy?” Vicky smiled coquettishly. “Did you think I’m doing it all for love?”
Tyler gazed at her smile, his gaze growing d more intense.” What if I refuse?”
Vicky caressed her belly. “I have plenty of ways to keep this child from being born, Mister Hart. Don’t you agree?”
The room fell into suffocating silence, with only the rhythmic ticking of a clock audible.
After some time, Tyler broke the silence. “Vicky, you schemed against me and pushed Sheila down the stairs, and I have yet to punish you for that.”
Vicky showed no fear. “If Sheila knew that this child was gone, it’d probably bring her more relief than any other form of revenge, wouldn’t it?”
“Are you threatening me, Vicky?”
Vicky chuckled lightly. “What kind of threat could I pose in the face of the almighty Mister Hart? If you don’t want to be threatened, it’s simple: make this child disappear. You won’t have to worry about my threats anymore, and you can retaliate against me without any constraints, just like you did before… using any means necessary.”
The look in Tyler’s eyes darkened, and he studied Vicky’s indifferent expression in silence.
After a while, he got up and left Vicky’s house.
As the door closed, Vicky collapsed weakly onto the couch, her back soaked with cold sweat.
Not long after Tyler left, Vicky sent a message to the mysterious person.
[I’ve talked to Tyler about the conditions, but he hasn’t given me a response… Will this really work? Tyler despises being threatened, and now, he misunderstands that I hurt Sheila’s hand. I’m afraid he’ll be even more repulsed by me.]
Soon, she received a reply. [Are you afraid that he’ll hate you?]
Vicky hesitated for a moment, then quickly responded. [No, he’s disliked me for a long time, so I don’t care about that. I’m just worried that pressuring him like this might backfire.]
The mysterious person asked in return. [How do you know he dislikes you?]
[He has made it so obvious that anyone can tell at first glance.]
[Do you remember the incident when you were drunk and somehow ended up sleeping with Tyler?]
Vicky did not know why the mysterious person brought
[Don’t you find that situation suspicious?]
Vicky pursed her lips. [Someone must’ve planned that.]
[Did you ask him about it?]
[No.]
[Since you didn’t ask, how do you know it was him?]
Vicky was stunned for a moment before realizing what the mysterious person was suggesting. [Are you suspecting that Tyler did that on purpose?] She typed.
[Alcohol is often just an excuse for most men. If he’s that easily tricked, he would have countless illegitimate children out there by now.]
Vicky scowled in disbelief. [But he hates me. Besides, if he needs a woman, countless women would throw themselves at him.]
[Sometimes, what the eyes can see might not be the truth.] The mysterious person replied.
Still, Vicky found it hard to believe that Tyler would bully her mercilessly if he still loved her and replied, [I know you’re saying that to make me feel better. Thank you, but this marriage is only going to be nothing but a business deal where we get what we want. There won’t be love between us.
