Chapter 365
"You know that I’m a man of my word."
Vicky knew there was nothing she could do even if the masked man went back on his promise, but she
did not want to give up when there was hope.
"I ran into a friend outside the hospital."
"What kind of friend?"
"Just...casual friends."
The man's interest was piqued. "Was it a guy?"
She fell into silence and thought to herself, 'He's asking a question that he knows the answer to.’
After a thoughtful moment, Vicky said, "Yeah. He's...my ex-fiance. I don't remember him, though. We
just ran into each other by coincidence."

"No. I don't think much of him."
He seemed satisfied with her answer. "If you don't like him, stay away from men like him."
His words sounded familiar as though she had heard them somewhere else.
Before she could grasp onto the thought, the man added, "I don't want you to be close to any man."
Disgust and disdain took her attention off her original thought, and she said, "I might not be able to fulfill
that requirement, sir. Maybe you should try someone else."
"Why don't I share all the photos we took together with Tyler?" he whispered into her ear.
"Shut up!" She exploded. "If you push too far, I don't mind dragging you down with me."
"Dragging me down with you?" he repeated with amusement. "With the recording of you saying that
Tyler is a psychopath and that you'll stay by his side to steal confidential information for me, you
mean?"
She clenched her fists until her nails snapped, but even the pain could not appease the rage boiling
within her.
Sensing how furious she was, he said, "Alright, I won't tease you. Since you've told the truth, I'll keep
my word."
Vicky sobered slightly at his words and said, "Can I leave now, then?"
"Vicky, all I said was that I'm not going to lay my hands on you. I never said that you can leave."
"Be a good girl, or I don't mind doing something.”
She did not move or head for the door after that.
She woke up the next morning, and the man was nowhere to be found.
'Regardless, I guess I dodged the bullet for now,' she thought and went to wash up.
Instead of leaving afterward, she observed the environment around her.
She had always come at night, and the windows were blocked by thick layers of curtains. She could

She never tried to know the masked man when she was in Forever Night because she knew that the
more she knew, the quicker she would die.
Vicky knew that she was somewhat responsible for the situation she was in Forever Night, and she had
been reluctant to find out about what the masked man looked like.
To her bewilderment, he had come after her and asked her to steal confidential information from Tyler's
company.
His existence deeply affected her life and would potentially pose a threat to Tyler, so Vicky knew that
she could no longer run from it.
It was a presidential suite, and when she opened the closet, she noticed that it was empty with no
clothing or trunks. There was nothing but disposable toiletry in the bathroom.
She walked out of the bedroom and noticed another door outside.
Vicky narrowed her eyes and walked over to turn the doorknob, only to notice that it would not move.
It was locked.
