An inexplicable rage had been burning within Tobias since the evening. He just couldn't tolerate Skylar interacting with another man. Even though he had given her the opportunity to publicly announce their relationship, she didn't seem to care at all.
Isn't a sense of security what she wanted all this while? Have I not done enough for her?
Not wanting to waste any more time arguing, Tobias decided to give her the cold shoulder.
All this while, Skylar was most afraid of being at the receiving end of his silent treatment, but with time, she had grown used to it. When Tobias didn't say a word, she wasn't bothered to cheer him up. Nevertheless, the tension in the room made it difficult for them to get any sleep.
The unseen force had somehow become part and parcel of their relationship.
Although Skylar had wanted to ask him to tell her about Marcus many times, she didn't want to be the first to break the silence. Hence, she ended up swallowing the words and keeping mum.
Stress caused Skylar to toss and turn in bed. She had long lost the ability to sleep at a moment's notice. The fact that she was being labeled as toxic at the box office and linked to the Razzie Award saddened her every time she thought about it.
The scandal with Marcus and the online exposé on Tobias' supposed relationship with her had caused her to lose a huge portion of her fanbase. Even her once die-hard fans reproached her with a thousand-word essay on social media.
Netizens had come to a consensus that her fans were unable to accept the truth when they realized they had been manipulated by a false image of her.
Throughout the difficult night, Skylar only managed to get two to three hours of sleep. Under normal circumstances, Tobias would show concern when she was having a sleepless night. But this time, he said nothing and simply slept with his back facing her.
