Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1221

Vicky's breath hitched. She never expected to hear Tyler saying he loved her.

Before, she had hoped against all odds to hear those three words come out from his lips, but he never said it to her—not even when they dated.

He never said 'I like you' to her, either; he did say 'I love you' to her when they were in bed. At that time, he had just escaped from the Harts and, after that, kidnapped her, not to mention being mentally unstable after being betrayed by Vicky.

Vicky would only have to glance out of the window to make him think she was trying to escape and in a fit of rage, he would force himself into her. Later, he would kiss away her tears and softly tell her he loves her.

Never one to believe a man's words in bed, Vicky told herself not to believe Tyler's words this time, too. In fact, she was scared of him and thought him to be unhinged. 'Will he kill me if I say the wrong word?' she wondered.

Vicky knew Tyler's mental illness stemmed from his unhappy childhood; no one had ever shown him what it felt like to be loved after all. Thus, she found it hard to believe Tyler would say he loved her. 'Maybe I've heard wrongly,' she told herself.

Even so, her broken heart could not help but skip a few beats when she heard Tyler saying he loved her, though she mentally slapped herself awake. 'No, I can't believe him. If nothing else, I'm a woman of principles,' she reminded herself.

"I'm sorry," she muttered, her eyelashes fluttering.

Surprisingly, Tyler remained very calm; he did not lose control at all. "So you don't really love me anymore, huh…"

Vicky looked down and said nothing.

Undeterred, Tyler asked again, "So you don't have to be with me anymore?"

"No, I don't."
