Vicky could have chosen to hide the torment she had gone through.
Forever Night had not told Tyler the truth, and Tyler misunderstood that it was his enemy who kidnapped her, so no one would know unless she said otherwise. However, she could not stand the deception and lies that were crushing her conscience.
"Believe it or not, I wasn't..." she mumbled. "Tyler, this isn't about your enemies... I brought this on myself... If you want a divorce..."
Her speech was ruffled and so were her thoughts, so she had no clue what she was saying.
Before she could finish, Tyler held her close, and her eyes widened in shock. He wrapped his arms around her so tightly that she could feel her bones whining.
"I'm sorry," he said hoarsely into her ear. "You wouldn't have gone through all that had it not been for me."
She froze.
"It's my fault that you want to run from me and get a divorce." His voice was thick with suppressed emotions.
"Tyler, it's not like that. The truth is—"
Before she could finish, he interrupted her, "I know what you're trying to say, Vicky, but I'm not divorcing you no matter what you went through."
She could not see his face and could only see their entwined shadows on the wall; she could feel her heart beating once again as hope filled her.
"Really?" she questioned in disbelief.
