Alex immediately steadied Vicky and glared at Tyler. "Vicky, don't listen to him! When he loved you, everything about you was perfect. When he got bored, he came up with all these excuses! Tyler, you might as well be a man and admit you grew bored of Vicky!"
Tyler glanced at Alex casually. "Vicky knows if I'm a man better than anyone."
Alex's face flushed with anger. "You're disgusting, Tyler Hart!"
"Disgusting?" Tyler responded with a half-smile. "Since when is the intimacy between a married couple something disgusting? If you consider this disgusting, what would you say about the one-night-stand you had with that woman, Holly Beaver back then?"
Alex paled. "Tyler, stop running your mouth! I…" He paused and turned to Vicky. "Vicky, I've never done anything to betray you! I don't know what happened with that woman—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Tyler interrupted him. "You dare accuse me of running my mouth? You were caught in bed with a woman by reporters, and it made headlines all those years ago. Have you forgotten, Mister Torres? Should I get someone to bring me the video from the news back then so you can relive your memories?"
"Shut up!" Alex started to sweat and frantically attempted to explain himself to Vicky. "Vicky, don't believe what he said. Holly Beaver and I... Nothing happened between us. I looked into her afterward, and I found something odd with the time she appeared. I suspect that Tyler was the one who hired that woman to frame me!"
Vicky noticed the frantic state Alex was in and consoled him, "It's okay. I believe you, so don't panic."
All it took was a few words from Tyler for Alex to lose his composure, so Vicky knew that a man like Alex would not stand a chance against Tyler. She stepped forward and shielded Alex. "This is between us, so why are you bringing Alex into it? Love is love. There's no need for all these excuses."
After getting to know someone, people could only develop positive or negative feelings toward them. If their love was meant to last, they would stay together; but if they fell out of love eventually, anything could be the excuse one used to end a relationship.
