Vicky smiled at Tyler. “We’ve been married for years. I know what kind of a person you are.”
“Are you saying you want to share Harvey’s fate?”
Vicky did not bother to explain herself and said, “I guess you can say that.”
“Very well.” Tyler sneered. “I didn’t expect you to be so fearless for Harvey’s sake. Back when my family forced you into breaking up with you, you’ve never shown such perseverance.”
Vicky’s gaze wavered.
“Vicky.” Harvey shook his head with disapproval, signaling her to stop arguing with Tyler.
“This won’t work,” she said. “He won’t let you go.”
“That’s for me to worry about, not you.”
“So you knew he won’t let you out of here alive all along, right?” she questioned.
Harvey fell silent.
Vicky smiled bitterly. “Do you think I can still be with him if you die in front of me? If he secretly kills you, can he and I continue as if nothing’s happened?” She turned her head and gazed into Tyler’s eyes. “Even if you manage to deceive me for a while, secrets aren’t meant to be kept forever. Sooner or later, I’ll know the truth. Once I do, I won’t be able to be with you.”
Tyler stared at Vicky. “Are you saying you can’t survive without him?”
‘There’s no such thing as complete reliance on others. I’m no exception,” Vicky calmly replied. “I can survive without him, but I can’t stay peacefully by your side if he dies.”
“Vicky, I said that I’d give you anything you want as long as you don’t leave me, and you promised you’d never leave me, ” said Tyler, sounding restrained. “Are you going against your words for an ex- fiance?”
“My condition for not leaving you is that you stop targeting Harvey, that you’d stop hunting him down,” Vicky said. “You deceived me first. You said you’d spare Harvey, but you didn’t.”
“So you’re choosing to sever ties with me for his sake?” he questioned.
A hint of hesitation flickered in Vicky’s eyes, but recalling Tyler’s ruthlessness, she chose not to back down and said,” Yes.”
Tyler’s expression darkened. “All I wanted was to see how far you’d go for Harvey. I must say, I’m truly surprised.” His voice was cold, tinged with self-mockery. “Anything and anyone can be your excuse for leaving me… In your heart, I’ll always be the least important person that you can cast away. N
He glared at Vicky. “Why are you doing this to me, Vicky?
Haven’t I been good enough to you?”
“You’ve been good to me.” Vicky watched him quietly. “But that doesn’t mean I can accept your actions. If it weren’t for Harvey’s situation, I could’ve continued being with you, but your behavior has crossed the line, so…” She lowered her gaze and uttered softly, “I’m sorry.”
Tyler knew what her apology implied, and he froze.
His heart plunged into a coldness beyond measure as his blood ran cold.
An excruciating pain tore through him from his chest and engulfed his entire body.novelbin
