Vicky chuckled coldly. "But why should I bear a child for you? After all the hatred, revenge, and humiliation I suffered at your hands, no less?"
She quickly continued, "Don't look at me with that expression. Even if I did owe you something, it was settled the day you decided to take revenge."
"Settled?" Tyler found it absurd and sneered. "Vicky, do you think we're playing house here?"
If hatred could be so easily dispelled, why would there be grudges that lasted centuries?
"So what? Are you planning to seek revenge on me for the rest of your life?"
Tyler looked down at her condescendingly. "Vicky, after all these years, you haven't grown at all. Do you think the wedding was the end? You're really naive."
He smirked as he looked into her eyes and said, "It's just the beginning."
Vicky narrowed her eyes as she did not doubt the truth in Tyler's words. "When did you regain your memory?"
Tyler's tone was indifferent. "Does it matter?"
Indeed, it did not matter anymore.
Vicky chuckled bitterly. "Tyler Hart, you're truly remarkable. It's a shame you're not an actor."
She had fallen into his trap time and time again, healing her wounds only to forget the pain.
"I'm hardly as skilled in acting as you are, Ms. Shaw." He sat by the bedside and continued in a subdued tone, "I can't sweet-talk and make false promises as you do, then heartlessly abandon someone. After all, there are things I can't say without feeling a psychological burden."
Vicky trembled. "So, may I ask what other means you have in store for me?"
Tyler fell silent for a moment. "Give birth to this child."
"Then what?"
