Loving You In Secret (Vicky and Tyler) novel Chapter 567

"In any case, you were kidnapped because of me...so I'm supposed to apologize to you," Vicky said hoarsely.

"You don't have to force yourself to do so," Gloria said. "Tyler told me you had nothing to do with this."

"But you don't believe him, right?"

After a few moments of silence, Gloria said, "Tyler looked into it and found no record of contact between you and Alex before he returned, so you couldn't have made him do anything. Alex Torres did all that on his own..." She paused and turned to look at Vicky. "You thought that Tyler would believe whatever I said, is that it?" She chuckled. "Despite being married to him for so long, you still don't know him any better than I do."

"What happened in the past?" Vicky asked.

"Tyler made it quite clear," Gloria said. "Did you think that I'd lie to you in front of him?"

"I can tell that you're still in love with him. The truth about the misunderstanding back then came out, so why didn't you two end up together?"

"Why?" Gloria narrowed her eyes bitterly. "Because you two had just broken up at the time, and I didn't believe him to forget about you so soon because I was still upset that he got the wrong person to begin with. On top of that, I wanted to know if what we felt about each other could survive the test, but...I was just too naive." Gloria stared at Vicky sharply. "Vicky, I regret everything. I should've never given you the chance."

With that, she turned around and stared out the window. "If that's all you need to say, you can go now."

Vicky stood by the bed and felt her throat running dry. "... Alex was shot twice, and Tyler has him right now. I don't even know if Alex is still alive. Can you please help to ask Tyler to let Alex go?"

Amused, Gloria said, "Vicky, are you trying to ask that I beg for mercy on behalf of my kidnapper? Do I look like a saint to you?"

"I know you're the victim here and I shouldn't even ask for your help on this, but Tyler won't see me nor would he listen. I've run out of options. Regardless of what happened, Alex is my childhood friend, and he did all this for my sake. I can't just leave him to die."

She looked Gloria in the eyes. "If you're willing to help, I can promise to do anything in return within my power."
