Chapter 292
At this hour, everyone was out for a walk after dinner. Although Tyler and Vicky's mansion was in an
exclusive area, there were a lot of people living around the area, too.
Both of them strolled around the forest park beside the area.
This area was the most popular residential area in Stoneford City. Everyone who lived here was either
wealthy or of notable power.
Vicky's scandal created an uproar in the upper-class community some time ago, so when passersby
saw Tyler and Vicky walking hand-in-hand, those rumors crumbled and did not hold water. Some of
them even approached and greeted them.
"Wow, Mister Hart and Missus Hart. You two have such a lovely relationship!"
Vicky noticed there were many people who stared at their hands. She looked down and discovered
their fingers were interlaced like a loving couple. Sadness crept into her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey really did have a wonderful relationship before...but no more of that. This was all fake.
She tried to pull her hand out of his, but Tyler's grip failed her attempt.
She blinked and looked at Tyler, realizing then that the man was gazing back at her quietly. His pupils
were deep and
dark as an ambiguous smile was on his face. How long had he been staring at her?
Her heart skipped a beat, and she found herself having trouble breathing.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
The breeze made the evening a comfortable and refreshing one. However, Vicky was freezing. She
looked down to hide her true emotions from him.
"Nothing. I'm just feeling...a little cold."
As they took the walk after dinner, Tyler was not wearing a formal suit like he usually would. It was also
summertime when the weather was hotter, so he did not put on a jacket when he left the mansion.
His eyes darkened when Vicky said she was cold.
Followingly, he pulled her into his arms and whispered into her ear, "Are you still cold now?"
If this happened in the past, Vicky would have felt touched by this. At this moment, however, it felt like a
demon was hugging her instead.
She shook her head. No."
Many people witnessed the sweet gesture they shared and watched on with envy.
After a while, Vicky expressed her wish to return home, so they went back to the mansion. Due to her
good manners, Tyler did not touch her anymore when they were back.
Instead, he went to his own studv to work.
Vicky went to get her shower and thought aimlessly, 'He's a first-class businessman, alright. When
everyone doubted our relationship, he brought me out to display public affection. Everything he does,
he does it for a reason.'
After having the conspiracy theory in her mind for a few days, she discovered Tyler wanted more than
that. It was not enough for people to think they were still head over heels for each other. He wanted her

First, he requested her to have dinner with him, like she used to, and take a walk after dinner no matter
how busy he was. She was required to go back to the room to sleep before 11 p.m., whether she liked
it or not. He even wanted her to prepare breakfast for him the next morning.
If she showed any resistance, she would face a horrible punishment...and by that, it meant she was
forced to sleep with him.
Nonetheless, he was not letting her go even though she followed and adhered to every one of his
requests. The only difference was that he was much gentler in the process when he was 'punishing'
her. The desire to leave him got stronger as Tyler became more manipulative.
One day, Vicky suddenly received a call from Sebastian.
"Vicky, I've prepared your passport and all the necessary documents for you. You're free to leave
Zendonia anytime."
