A familiar, altered voice came from the speaker. “It’s been a while, Miss Shaw. Have you been well?”
Vicky tried her best to stay calm but failed to control the shivering of her voice. “What do you want?”
The man chuckled. “I’ve come to Stoneford City for a business trip, and since you live here as well, I decided that we should meet up for old times’ sake.”
Vicky’s ruffled breathing could be heard through the phone as she questioned, “How did you get my number?”
“Is that supposed to be difficult?” the man drawled. “I should thank you for giving me all your personal details back then.”
He was right. Vicky had given a lot of personal information about herself when she sought the masked man’s help to escape Forever Night.
Since she was also Tyler’s wife, it was extremely easy to track her down.
Vicky clenched her fists until her fingers turned pale. “Sir, I’ve left Forever Night, and I no longer belong to them. If you’ve looked into me, you should know that.”
“Well, you aren’t lying about that, but… You made a lot of promises when you asked for my help. Do you remember?”
At the time, she completely lost hope after talking to Tyler on the phone and made the best decision she could about the situation.
“Sir, I thought that Tyler-’
“You thought that Tyler Hart abandoned you, right?” the man interrupted her.
After a brief moment of silence, she said, “Yes.”
“And had he said that he’d come to your rescue, you would’ve never sought my help. Is that right?”
“Yes.”
“You sure are honest.’
“I would’ve never been able to escape Forever Night without your help,” Vicky whispered. ‘You… You saved me, and I don’t want to lie to you.’
“Are you telling me to stay out of your new life?”
Vicky did not respond.
“I heard that your relationship with your husband has improved, huh?”
She jolted and lost her composure. “What on earth do you want?!’
“It’s been so long since I saw you. I just want to meet you, Miss Shaw.”
“You’ve helped me before and I’m grateful, but Tyler isn’t someone you want to cross. If he learns about you, he’ll come after you!” she gritted out.
“If he learns about me?” the man said. “So, he still doesn’t know about me?”

“Don’t worry.” The man chuckled. “I wont be here long. Three months, at most. I’ll leave after that, and you can carry on with your life.”
Sensing that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, the man added, ‘Til be careful so that Tyler Hart doesn’t find out. By the way… I’ve just sent you something interesting. Give me your answer after you watch it.”
With that, the man hung up without hesitation.
An ominous feeling took over Vicky as she opened the unread message on her phone.
She jumped and dropped her phone moments later.
