Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 254

All the humiliation and violence made Vicky feel like she was nothing but a ragdoll to the man.

'Is it going to happen again?' she thought to herself as she looked into Tyler's eyes, trembling ever so slightly.

After a few moments of silence, she smiled bitterly. "I've explained that I am not close with Ed. If you still want to go after him, I won't beg for you to change your mind. Do whatever you want."

Tyler's lips curled into a cold sneer. "You say that you aren't close, but you call him Ed?"

She closed her eyes. "All the younger actors and actresses call him that as well. I'm just doing what everyone is doing."

Tyler remained silent and studied her with his eagle-like eyes.

She felt like she was suffocating under his intimidating presence and felt like a criminal or a cheating wife, as his distrustful glares stabbed into her like blades.

She could not bring herself to think if this would repeat over again whenever she was seen with a male in the future, and whether those men would end up losing everything like Charlie did.

After a while, Tyler finally looked away.

Vicky waited for a while and when he did not say anything, she turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" he questioned sharply.

"It's getting late. I'm going back to my room."

She walked over to the door and reached out for the doorknob. As soon as she opened the door and took a step out, she was dragged backward and Tyler's unforgiving kiss landed on her lips.

...

The next day, Vicky was woken up by the ringing of her phone, and she fumbled for it before answering the call.

The filming in these two days had been crucial and as the stylist, she had to be by the crew every single day. Since they had worked late into the night the day before, Director Fallon had postponed the starting time the next day and informed everyone that filming would start at half past eight.

"I'm coming over right now!" Vicky blurted out.

After washing up, she hurried to the production site to find that the crew had already finished lunch and were chatting with one another.

Since the site was designed specifically for the plot, they could not film it anywhere else. Since Vicky had not shown up for work, every other member had to wait.

When Vicky appeared, all eyes were on her and Maria said sarcastically, "Oh, my. It's so hot out here, so why are you wearing a scarf? Aren't you feeling hot at all?"

The temperature in Arrowtown was much higher than that of Stoneford City, and it was an exceptionally hot afternoon.

Vicky had rushed all the way and was drenched in sweat, which seemed odd when she was wearing a scarf and a face mask.
