Loving You In Secret By Debbie Meza Chapter 10
Vicky stood up immediately to greet Tyler. “Tyler.”
Tyler paused. “Why are you here?”
“Since you refused to answer my call, I can only come here to look for you,” Vicky answered.
“Is there any problem?” he asked.
Ready to speak, Vicky said, “It’s regarding Cece—”
“I’m not going to do anything about that,” interjected Tyler indifferently, “and the same goes for you.”
“But she’s innocent.”
“There are many innocent people in this world. Do I need to care about every single one of them?” he replied rather harshly.
Vicky was hurt by his indifferent attitude. “We’re now divorced yet, so I’m still your wife.”
He did not understand what Vicky was trying to get at. “So?”
She took a deep breath. “If you’re willing to help, I’ll agree to leave this marriage without taking anything and money.”
“Leave this marriage without taking anything and money, you say?” His lips twisted into a disdainful smile. “Vicky Shaw, are you thinking of taking parts of my assets?”
“According to the law, the assets of the husband and wife are to be divided equally during a divorce.”
Tyler chuckled. His eyes were cold like the stream water as he said remotely, “We have a prenuptial agreement. It stated that you’re willing to leave this marriage without taking anything or money from the Hart family.”
“What did you say?!” Her eyes widened in shock. ‘Did water get into my brain or something? Why did I sign such an unfair agreement?’ she thought.
It seemed like Tyler could not be bothered to talk with her as he raised his feet and left her. She did not realize the only bargaining chip she had was screwed by the old her.
Looking at the tall, lean man, she said loudly, “If you’re willing to help me, I’ll cooperate with you fully with the divorce! If you don’t, then…”
She decided to cut off all means of retreat and shouted, “Don’t ever think about divorcing me. Your sweetheart will forever be a mistress!”
This effectively stopped Tyler as he looked back and said coldly, “Vicky Shaw, are you threatening me?”
His cold eyes rested on her; it felt light and yet relatively substantial. It was so oppressive that one would not dare to look back.
Vicky’s heart shrunk inexplicably. For some reason, she felt like leaving so he could not stare at her.
Then again, she thought of Cece. She thus forced herself to stay calm and mustered her courage to gaze back at him. “What if I said yes?”
Tyler looked at her quietly with his deep, dark eyes. The stare lasted so long that their souls seemed to be sucked into each other’s eyes.
Vicky’s heart quivered in insecurity. She knew she already agreed to the divorce and that it was unethical for her to change her mind. Nonetheless, she had nothing else to gamble on apart from that.
Perhaps she did, before she lost her memory. At this moment, she could not even remember most people, and the only person she knew that could help her was Tyler.
With a stone-cold face, he said, “Just you wait.”
He turned and left. If he was easily intimidated, then he would not be the Tyler Hart he was today.
