Vicky did not know what Tyler was thinking and said, "Take the card back.""Are you trying to split the bill?" he asked.She shot him a confused stare. "What?""Is there a point to separate what's yours and what's mine?"She immediately realized what he was trying to say and stared at the card in her hand, knowing perfectly well how much it was worth.The Hart family was as rich as kings and queens, so she knew that Tyler would not bat an eye if she spent his money.However..."Are you really...going to stay with me in this marriage?" she asked.The look in his eyes darkened. "Why? Are you regretting it?" He glanced at her mockingly. "Changed your mind after seeing your childhood lover?""..." She shot him a polite smile. "Mister Hart, stop blaming everything on me just because I lost my memories. If I wanted to be with Sebastian, why would we be married in the first place?"Before the Shaws fell, Missus Mills had wanted to form a bond with the Shaws and wanted Sebastian to m

Vicky clenched her fists tightly under the sheets and stiffened until her entire body was as hard as a rock. As she tried to stop fighting Tyler, the weight on her body disappeared.She opened her eyes and found Tyler standing by the bed. Panicking, she muttered, "Tyler..."He did not look at her and simply said, "Why bother forcing yourself into it if you don't want to?""I want to..." She lowered her head. "You know that I've forgotten about a lot of things, and it's hard to...get used to things."Since they were already married, there was no point in delaying the inevitable since she knew that her resistance would eventually melt away.He lowered his gaze and stared into her eyes. "I'm not into assaulting women.""That's not it. I'm doing this willingly.""You say that, but your heart says otherwise. That makes this just as bad as an assault," he said emotionlessly.She bit her lower lip when she looked into his eyes.It was not a shame for a woman to try and defend her mar

It felt as though Tyler was about to swallow her whole.Unlike the usual cold and distant impression he gave, his kiss was forceful and demanding.Had Vicky not experienced it herself, she would have never guessed that there was such a side to him.All sounds faded away as her mind went blank.Just as she was about to run out of breath, Tyler finally let her go.He was panting, and his eyes were as dark as night with a fire burning dangerously in their depths.Feeling like prey that had been targeted by a predator, she tensed instinctively.He stared at her unmovingly before finally taking the hair dryer in her hand and muttering hoarsely, "Go to sleep."He stood and walked toward the bathroom.She watched as he went, all the while thinking to herself, 'I wouldn't have stopped him if he wanted to continue…'She sobered when she heard the door of the bathroom opening and immediately placed her hands on her cheeks in frustration.'What was I thinking?' she thought. 'Am I that

"Nikki?"Nikki glared daggers at Vicky, her face twisted with hatred. "You did that, didn't you, Vicky Shaw?!""What are you referring to, Miss Mayland?""You're still pretending like nothing happened up until now?!" Nikki screamed furiously. "The restaurant wouldn't have fired me if it wasn't for you! I've already left the bar as you wished! What else am I supposed to do? Are you not going to stop until I die?!"Vicky narrowed her eyes in realization and said calmly, "Miss Mayland, I never made you quit your job; you resigned on your own record. I have nothing to do with it. I don't have anything to do with what happened in that restaurant either. Please stop blaming me for everything—"Before she could finish, Nikki interrupted her hysterically."Can you stop acting innocent, Vicky Shaw?! The restaurant manager told me that he fired me because I crossed the wrong person! I've just started working there. Who else could I possibly cross if it's not you?"Vicky fell into silence

The woman in the mirror was dressed in a crimson dress that outlined the alluring curves of her body. The makeup on her face emphasized her delicate features, and she looked as bewitching as a siren.Cece stood behind Vicky and scanned her from head to toe in contentment. "Perfect!"Vicky, having rarely dressed in such a bold color, frowned. "Don't you think this is too revealing?"The dress Vicky wore was made by Cece.Cece had grown into an extraordinary fashion designer under Vicky's guidance, specializing in gowns. When she was told that Vicky would be attending Tyler's birthday party, Cece burnt the midnight oil to produce an exquisite gown."Today is Mister Hart's party and as his wife, you need to stand out and intimidate other women so they won't dare seduce Mister Hart!" Cece deadpanned.Since what Cece said made sense, Vicky nodded thoughtfully.Just then, someone knocked on the door, and a majestic man stepped in."Mister Hart," greeted Cece before leaving.Vicky wa
