Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1221

Chapter 1221

Vicky's breath hitched. She never expected to hear Tyler saying he loved her.

Before, she had hoped against all odds to hear those three words come out from his lips, but he never said it to

her-not even when they dated.

He never said 'I like you' to her, either; he did say 'I love you' to her when they were in bed. At that time, he had just

escaped from the Harts and, after that, kidnapped her, not to mention being mentally unstable after being

betrayed by Vicky.

Vicky would only have to glance out of the window to make him think she was trying to escape and in a fit of rage,

he would force himself into her. Later, he would kiss away her tears and softly tell her he loves her.

Never one to believe a man's words in bed, Vicky told herself not to believe Tyler's words this time, too. In fact, she

was scared of him and thought him to be unhinged. 'Will he kill me if I say the wrong word?' she wondered.

Vicky knew Tyler's mental illness stemmed from his unhappy childhood; no one had ever shown him what it felt like

to be loved after all. Thus, she found it hard to believe Tyler would say he loved her. 'Maybe I've heard wrongly,' she

told herself.

Even so, her broken heart could not help but skip a few beats when she heard Tyler saying he loved her, though she

mentally slapped herself awake. 'No, I can't believe him. If nothing else, I'm a woman of principles,' she reminded

herself.

"I'm sorry," she muttered, her eyelashes fluttering.

Surprisingly, Tyler remained very calm; he did not lose control at all. "So you don't really love me anymore, huh..."

Vicky looked down and said nothing.

Undeterred, Tyler asked again, "So you don't have to be with me anymore?"

"No, I don't."

"Okay."

Vicky did not understand what Tyler meant by his response. She looked up curiously and asked, "So...you're willing

to let me go?"

"No."

Vicky thought he was playing her until he added, "But it's not like I can force you to be with me."

Her expression softened a little, glad to know she was finally getting through to him.

She was about to ask him about his injuries when Tyler said, "You told me you'd rather die than submit to me, and

I've also told you a similar thing— that I'd rather die than let you go."

Tyler turned to look at Vicky. "Since you don't love me anymore nor do you want to be with me, we should...'

His deep blue eyes shone like sapphires which reflected her face.

"Die right here, right now," he uttered, sounding as though he was talking about the weather.

Horrified, Vicky shouted, "Tyler Hart, have you gone insane?!"

"Yes, I have. Years ago." His voice remained as soft as the breeze. "When you betrayed me, when I wanted to be

with you, when I married you, and even when...l wanted to have a kid with you... I was already insane then." His

eyes glinted sinisterly as he stared into her horrified eyes.
