However, everything spiraled out of control.
Tyler knew his behavior was despicable, but he could not control his emotions.
When he loved, every cell within him longed for her. Every time he came to see her, he told himself it would be the last time. However, he found himself appearing at her house more and more frequently.
Tyler knew he was in trouble, and it would not be long before he returned to his former self.
Vicky was like a drug to him. Even though he knew that contact with her was toxic, he could not bring himself to let go.
He knew she was pregnant with his child, and his most primal desires began to surge, making it impossible for him to resist the urge to make her stay.
Vicky listened quietly to his confession, and her heart ached.
She could not fight off the urge to hold him; her touch was firm and comforting.
He only mentioned a few words about the time he regained consciousness, but Vicky knew he had endured a lot of pain. The fact that he was alive was a miracle.
"What was on your mind when you fell into the sea?" Vicky asked.
"That I had to stay alive," he said. "I had to survive and find you so I can continue to blackmail you into staying with me."
Vicky was momentarily speechless. After a brief pause, she called out, "Tyler."
Tyler lowered his gaze to meet hers; her beautiful eyes sparkled in the warm-toned light.
"I've been waiting for you." She looked into his eyes and enunciated each word. "I love you, and that has never changed."
...
10 months later.
A restless man paced back and forth outside the operating room.
Aurora, who grew dizzy from his pacing, interfered. "Tyler, can you please sit quietly for a moment?"
