A day went by, and the night of the fifth day came.
The man came in at around the same time as he did the nights before. He turned on the light and handed his phone to Vicky.
Vicky accepted it and opened the call history to find a recording. She twitched ever so slightly and played the recording.
"Remember me, Mister Hart?" rang the man's altered voice.
After a brief moment of silence, Vicky heard Tyler's familiar voice. "I remember."
"Vicky Shaw—"
"I made it very clear," Tyler interjected coldly, curtly. "I've divorced Vicky Shaw."
"She's in a bad spot right now. Are you really not going to help her?"
"How is that any of my business?" Tyler questioned.
Rendered speechless, the man responded after a moment of silence, "She was your wife, after all."
"I gave her a chance to be my wife, and she was the one who cast it aside. Since she chose to get a divorce, she'll have to face the consequences for it," Tyler said mercilessly.
Before the man could argue, a woman's voice came in from Tyler's end.
"Tyler, who are you talking to? It's time for the wedding photos."
"Sure." Tyler hung up without hesitation.
With that, the call ended.
Vicky froze in place and looked up at the man. The air around her seemed to freeze as well.
The man looked back at her sympathetically for being cast aside and for her own foolishness.
"I still want to talk to him in person," she said hoarsely.
