Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1483

Once Tyler was sure Vicky was asleep, he left the bedroom.

Entering his study, he retrieved the knife he had put away.

Just two cuts were hardly enough to atone for the pain he caused her.

His intention was never to harm himself to gain her sympathy. He felt that he could only comprehend her agony by feeling pain himself.

Since she did not like seeing blood, he vowed she would not have to witness it anymore. With that thought in mind, he cut himself again.

Strangely, he did not feel any pain. On top of that, the lingering ache in his heart seemed to ease slightly.

‘Can physical pain really alleviate heartache?’ he thought.

He was tempted to try again, but instead, he used a handkerchief to clean the blood from the blade before placing it away.

He could not risk letting her discover it, or she would despise him even more.

Having stopped the bleeding, Tyler returned to the bedroom. As he drew Vicky closer, he realized his heartache had diminished somehow.

After Vicky had recovered, she returned to her work at the studio.

Tyler did not stop her. However, despite her protest, he continued to chauffeur her to and from work every day.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Surprisingly, there had not been another episode as if they were locked in a silent standoff.

Old Mister Hart remained silent, too.

In the blink of an eye, everything seemed to have returned to normal.

Days later, however, on one fateful night…

Vicky suddenly woke up. To her surprise, Tyler was nowhere to be seen.

Just as she was about to get out of bed to search for him, she heard footsteps outside the room.

Vicky’s expression darkened slightly as she realized Tyler had returned.

She closed her eyes again and pretended to be asleep.

The footsteps drew nearer, and there was a gentle dip on the other side of the bed.

For some reason, Vicky caught a faint whiff of blood.

At that moment, Tyler stretched out his arm and swiftly held her close.

He could not refrain from sleeping with her. No matter how much she resisted him, he was determined to hold her in his arms while he slept.

She was momentarily puzzled, but Vicky did not think too much about it and drifted back to sleep.

It was another night. Vicky woke up and realized Tyler was absent once more.

She picked up her phone and noticed that it was one o’clock.

Having found Tyler missing two nights in a row seemed more than a mere coincidence. As she pondered about it, she heard the faint sound of the door opening, and Tyler returned.

Quickly putting her phone away, she closed her eyes and decided she would find out what Tyler was up to the next night.

The next night, Vicky stayed awake to see if Tyler would step out of the room again. She pretended to be asleep and adjusted her breathing, allowing Tyler to pull her into his embrace.

She waited for a while, but Tyler showed no signs of getting up.

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, he moved and she instantly sobered.

Vicky remained unmoving and sensed a gaze landing upon her, checking if she was asleep.

After staring at her for a while, Tyler finally looked away and left the room quietly.

Once the door closed, Vicky silently followed him outside.
