Chapter 974
The air immediately became thick with tension once the question was out of Vicky's mouth. No matter how obtuse
she was, she could sense something was not right with Tyler. ‘He was the one who asked for the divorce so why is
he doing this to me?' Vicky thought.
After a few seconds of silence, Tyler finally said, "Perhaps you're right. It'll be unfair to you if I ask you to stay away
from other men when I'm not your husband anymore."
He reached out his hand and gently brushed her lips with his fingers. "I have an idea. You can be my lover and we'll
treat each other just like we did before. What do you think?"
It took a long while for Vicky to process what he just said.
"Tyler, is this another one of your ways of taking revenge on me?" she asked with shock.
He was the one who forced me into getting a divorce with him and now he wants me to be his secret lover? Is this
my karma for heartlessly dumping him in the past?' thought Vicky.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Revenge?" Tyler did not seem to agree with her interpretation of things. "No, you should see it as an honor
instead."
"An honor? You've got to be kidding me, right?"
"Do you know how many women out there would like to be my lover?" Tyler looked at her. "And amongst them are
countless famous socialites who come from better backgrounds than you."
Tyler was not exaggerating. With his status and his looks, he could get any woman he wanted. In fact, he did not
even have to lift a finger and the women would be throwing themselves at him. Girlfriend, wife, mistress, or secret
lover, it did not matter what title he gave them, and they would still be willing to do anything he asked of them.
"I guess I'm the exception then," said Vicky coldly.
Tyler's eyes darkened. Looking into his eyes was like staring into the abyss.
"Yes, you're the exception."
Vicky frowned.
"Are you not happy?" Tyler asked suddenly.
The change of topic was too fast for Vicky to grasp what he was really asking.
"What?"
Tyler looked at her with a faint smile on his lips. "You must be happy to get divorced from me. Your ex-boyfriend,
exfiance, and Lincoln... all these men around you... My oh my, you sure are a busy woman."
The mockery in his tone caused Vicky to shake with anger.1 They say a woman's heart is hard to understand... Well,
that's because they haven't met a man like Tyler! He's getting more and more ridiculous by the minute!'
She looked straight into Tyler's eyes and curled her lips into a mocking smile. "You're right. I have so many men
around me... and it seems like I can add... an ex-husband to the list."
Tyler's eyes immediately darkened when the word 'ex- husband' came out of her lips.
"So, you were only pretending to not want to get divorced?"
Vicky was baffled for a moment. "What are you talking about?"
Tyler's eyes became darker and darker as if she had just confirmed his conjecture.
"Who was the one who gave you the idea? Was it Harvey? Or Lincoln? It must be Lincoln! You've been helping him
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto spy on me all along, haven't you?"
Vicky's face was pale with anger. "You're being ridiculous! Tyler Hart, we're already divorced, and might I remind
you that you were the one who asked for the divorce! It doesn't matter whether I was being real or just putting on
an act. What's done is done!"
She paused here to take some deep breaths to calm herself down.
"Tyler, I'm not some pet who is at your beck and call. I'm willing to admit that I’ve done some horrible things to you
in the past, and that's why I'm willing to forgive you for taking revenge on me. I don't blame you for what you've
done to me at all, nor do I have the intention to hurt you like how you hurt me.
"Because, at the end of the day, I deserve all the hurt you inflicted upon me. However, that ended the moment we
signed the divorce papers. I don’t owe you anything anymore, and if you still want to take revenge on me or think
that I haven't been hurt enough or... you feel like you want to have me under your thumb again..."
Vicky's eyes, which were illuminated by the dim car lights, were exceptionally pure and bright as if they could
cleanse one's soul just by looking at them.
She looked deeply into Tyler's eyes and said, "I'm sorry to say this, but I won't play your games anymore. If you
continue to threaten me like before... I definitely won't sit still and let you have your way."
Tyler’s revenge on her had caused her immeasurable pain.
