Vicky studied Tyler’s face. “When you realized that you had the wrong person, you broke up with me and started pursuing Gloria, correct?”
The look in his eyes remained mysterious and unreadable. There seemed to be a thin barrier that kept Vicky from understanding how he felt or what he was thinking, but she finally felt like the mist was clearing.
“Yes,” the man answered.
“How long were we together at the time?”
After a brief silence, he said, “A little over a year.”
She smiled. “And you hadn’t once realized you had the wrong person throughout the year?”
His expression was composed, and his stare was stern.” There’s no love at first sight in this world. All I saw back then was a woman’s back. I thought that the person I saw played the piano wonderfully, and that’s why I wanted to meet her.” He stared at her. “It was nothing more than a trigger. I wasn’t deeply in love with you.”
His words were cruel but truthful.
Both Vicky and Gloria knew that falling in love with just a look of someone from the back was a plot that would only appear in fairytales.
Tyler, Vicky, and Gloria simply got to know one another
because of that.
“Tyler didn’t think much of it because you can play the piano as well. You’ve never brought him to school when you were dating him, so Tyler and I don’t even know each other existed. If you didn’t feel guilty, why didn’t you get him to drop by the school?”
“…” Vicky fell into silence as it was a question she was incapable of answering.
“Throughout the year we’ve been together, did you really… not feel anything toward me? If you’ve never truly loved me, why…bother dating me?”
“I did love you for a time,” he said, his voice sounding hollow.
She froze.
Gloria, as well as Alex-who did not expect there to be so much that he was unaware of—were stunned as well.
“You…were in love with me?” Vicky stared at Tyler.
“You’ve said it yourself. How can I date you if I don’t love you?” he said casually and stared down at her as though he was looking at a stranger instead of his wife. “But all I fell in love with was the mask you were wearing. You pretended to be an innocent woman when, in truth, you were selfish and despicable.”
Vicky paled and backed away a few steps.
