"Do you want to shower? Do you need help?"Vicky remained quiet for a while before nodding. "Sure. Thank you."She felt powerless and dazed the night before, but she knew that the man expected to get his penny's worth.After the shower, Vicky changed into a clean set of clothes while Jane remained in the room with her, which felt like supervision nonetheless.Due to the lack of sleep, Vicky fell asleep again shortly after lunch. By the time she woke up again, the sky was dark as Jane returned with dinner.Vicky felt energized after resting and cast all the negative feelings within her aside."Jane, can I ask you something?" she asked.Since Vicky had not caused any trouble so far, Jane had taken a liking to her and replied patiently, "What is it?""Am I in the same room as last night?"Jane nodded.Vicky glanced around her in confusion. "But the room was pitch dark last night."Had she not seen the crystal bed, she would have thought that everything was just a nightmare. The

"Miss Shaw, you should know that if I want you, you have no right to refuse. I just don't like to force myself on women."Vicky remained quiet.The man seemed to understand what she meant by her silence and turned off the light."I can keep calling Tyler Hart for you tomorrow," he muttered in a low, seductive voice.Vicky's breath caught in her throat. "And if he doesn't answer again?""Then we'll continue tomorrow night."Her heart sank when she realized that he would be returning with more conditions.She had no time for negotiation and did not wish to be at the man's mercy, so she opened her mouth to reject his proposal. "I don't—"Before she could finish, the man interrupted her and said, "But if you're willing to answer a question for me, I can keep calling until he answers."She choked on her initial words and sputtered, "What question is that?""Who treats you better: Tyler or me?"Vicky was stunned. "That's…it?""Yeah.""You..." Vicky muttered reluctantly. "You tre

Vicky felt as though the man was teasing her like he was teasing a little puppy; he would give her a glimpse of hope but only to disappoint her in the end."Alright, then." The man was not offended by her objection and simply went to turn the light off.Vicky then heard the sound of him removing his mask. Her heart sank as she blurted out, saying, "I don't need your help today.""So what?"Her breath caught in her throat."Miss Shaw, are you really that naive?"She shoved him away and ran out of bed without even bothering to put on her shoes.The man was caught by surprise and fumbled backward. He chuckled with amusement and said, "I do like to play tag."He slowly closed in on her.The room was spacious and dark, but Vicky had been in the room for the past three days and knew her way around, so she darted toward the direction of the door.When she came into contact with the cold doorknob, she tried to open the door, but it would not budge.Her blood ran cold."It's a digit

Vicky gaped at the two of them. "Did you just say that...he's getting married?"Lydia was confused. "Who?" Realization dawned on her. "Are you talking about Tyler Hart?"Vicky stared at Lydia unblinkingly. "Is he really getting married?"Lydia lifted an eyebrow with a smile. "I didn't expect you to be interested in scandals like this... Oh, I almost forgot that you're from Zendonia. It's normal for you to be curious, I guess."Vicky had not told anyone about who she was other than the man in a mask, so even Jane and Lydia were unaware that she was Tyler's ex-wife.Vicky knew that they would never believe her, and even if they did, they would not let her go so easily. Most importantly, if the boss decided that he could not afford to cross Tyler, he might choose to kill her to prevent trouble.Lydia assumed that Vicky was just curious and proceeded to tell her everything she knew, including how Tyler was seen going home late at night with his first love, and how they were seen tryi

If the news that Tyler was about to marry Sheila traveled all the way to Lovian, it could not be fake."I just want to make sure."The man thought about it and said, "I can allow that.""Really?" She beamed and marveled at how understanding the man was compared to Tyler."Yeah." The man got up to put on his clothes and mask, before turning the light on to hand Vicky his phone. "You only get one chance, though."Vicky was so excited that she was vibrating from it. "Thank you."She truly felt that she was suffering from Stockholm syndrome as she felt a wave of gratitude toward the man, despite knowing that he was not a good person.She accepted the phone and took a few deep breaths to calm herself, yet could not control the shivering of her hands as she dialed the number she remembered by heart.Beep. Beep. Beep.Once the call was made, her heart started racing.Time seemed to slip by swiftly and slow down at the same time."The number you have dialed cannot be reached at the
