“Why should I tell you? So you can be wary of me?” sneered Vicky Shaw. She pushed the man away and hurriedly spoke, “I have errands to run. Bye now.”
She walked away so quickly as though beasts were chasing after her. Every time she was with Tyler Hart, there was always this weird feeling she felt.
Just as she thought she nearly escaped, she heard Tyler’s voice from behind. “Vicky.”
She paused but did not plan to look back.
Coldly and remotely, he said, “Don’t look for Sheila again.”
Her brow shivered once, and she finally looked back. “Are you really afraid that I’ll come to bully your lover?”
Tyler answered, “Yes.”
She was stunned for a few seconds. Her lips curled into a smile, yet her eyes looked indifferent, suggesting she was not truly smiling from the bottom of her heart.
Wordlessly, she shook her head and turned to leave.
“Don’t disturb Sheila ever again,” reiterated Tyler. “You’re the reason she can’t play the piano anymore.”
Her pupils dilated in shock upon hearing this. “What did you say?”
At this moment, Tyler was already turning to leave.
“Tyler, what did you mean?”
He did not answer as his aloof figure walked away from Vicky’s sight.
She felt rooted on the spot in her bewilderment. ‘So he refused to help me not just because he hated me? Is it because of the things that happened in the past too?’
What else had she done before she lost her memory?
…
Three days later, Vicky went to the hospital again. This time, she was not there to visit Hector or Sheila; she came to have her check-up.
The doctor looked at the test result and smiled. “Miss Shaw, you’re recovering very well. I don’t see any sequelae.”
After a few seconds of hesitation, Vicky said, “I’ve lost all of my memory after the car crash. I’d like to know… Those memories I lost, will I remember them again? When will I remember?”
The doctor took a look at her diagnosis and sighed. “The human brain system is very complicated. There are many examples where patients lost their memories after the car crash. Some patients regained their memories after a while, but there are also some who never regained their memories. So…there’s no exact answer to your question.”
Vicky was disappointed.
“But…” The doctor looked at her. “If you really want to regain your memory, you could ask your family and friends to visit those familiar places and do the things you used to do. It’ll help with the recovery of your memory.”
She nodded at this advice and replied, “Thank you, Doctor.”
…
At 7 p.m., the banquet hall was already lit up with bright lights and was lively.
Vicky arrived at the dinner party right on time. She received news that Tyler would be attending this dinner party, too.
It definitely felt good to say harsh words. Albeit that, she still needed to look for Tyler.
Try as she did, however, she could not spot Tyler’s tall, familiar body at all. She thus went to the garden to continue her search.
There was a huge outdoor swimming pool in the garden of the venue, and the crystal clear seemingly sparkled under the light. There were a few guests standing and some were sitting on chairs, chatting with each other.
Vicky took a look around and, spotting the man she was looking for, approached him. “Hi, Tyler.”
Tyler looked back at her, and he gave her a distant feeling. “What’s up?”
He did not even ask why she was there, just like it did not matter anymore or he expected her to be there.
“I…”
Vicky only managed to get a word out when Tyler’s phone rang. He answered it.
On the other side of the phone was Sheila’s manager. “Mister Hart, something bad happened! Sheila… She…”
There were shouts and noises in the background; it was as though the manager was in the midst of a commotion.
“Just say it,” said Tyler impatiently.
The manager nearly broke down in tears. “There was an accident during the shooting. Sheila got pushed by someone from the stairs and broke her legs! I already called the ambulance, but there’s another actress stopping us from leaving… The set is now chaotic! I don’t know what to do…”
“Alright, I understand.” He hung up the phone and left.
Vicky was bewildered. “Tyler…”
When he walked past her, he seemed to stop for a brief moment before he started to walk away again.
Vicky turned and wanted to follow suit when all of a sudden, someone stopped her from doing so. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Stop right there!” rang an arrogant voice.
Vicky looked up and noticed Sasha was standing right in front of her domineeringly. She haughtily lifted her chin lightly to give Vicky a contemptuous look.
Vicky merely spared her a glance before she walked forward, trying to bypass Sasha. Nevertheless, Sasha blocked her from leaving, her expression full of hatred and annoyance.
“You shameless mistress. Stop following Tyler everywhere! Would it kill you to be without a man? Why are you so desperate?!”
Vicky was taller than Sasha, more so at this moment as wore high heels and thus was a head taller than Sasha. Her aura was enough to squash Sasha just by standing there quietly. She looked at Sasha with an indifferent expression.
“Miss Young, I’ve been married to Tyler for three years now, and we’re a legal couple. You should use that title for women who know the man is married to a wife yet likes to throw themself at the married man. I mean, those with dignity will never interfere in someone else’s relationship, even if they like the married man.
“On the other hand, those who are disgraceful will only think of it as an honorable thing, making sure the whole world knows by shouting it out loud and t publicly.”
Vicky spoke in a very composed manner, without any changes in her tone and speed. Her expression was calm, too.
Nevertheless, it sounded very sarcastic to Sasha. She felt like Vicky was provoking her arrogantly.
The thing she hated about Vicky the most was how she thought she was better than anyone else and disregarded everyone.
Having said her peace, Vicky looked away and walked past Sasha.
Sasha looked at Vicky’s elegant and attractive figure from the back, and her sweet face contorted uglily. Although she refused to admit it, she did think Vicky had the potential and quality to be a sl*t.
Before the Shaw family’s downfall, Vicky was a rich and beautiful girl from a reputable, notable family. She was also the most beautiful woman in Stoneford City. She was someone who was good at almost everything, the goddess and dream lover of every man yet was unreachable, and a girl every woman envied.
After the Shaw family’s downfall, however, everyone wanted to see how badly the most beautiful woman would end up and how the men would toy with her. However, she successfully seduced Tyler and became his wife.
Not only did she not suffer, but she even climbed her way back to power!
‘Why did she deserve to have such a good life?’ Sasha growled internally.
Jealousy made Sasha become an ugly woman.
All of a sudden, she walked forward and pushed Vicky into the swimming pool.
