Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 443

Tyler's voice sounded both strange and familiar as it echoed in the room.

Vicky's eyes were filled with tears due to the sunlight. Despite her swollen eyes, however, she finally saw his dark, brooding features.

He stood with his back facing the light and looked down at her as though he had full control over her life.

"Tyler Hart..." she muttered hoarsely. "Why are you here?"

He stood tall before her and said, "You tried whatever you could do to seek help when you were sent to Forever Night, so why haven't you done the same when you're locked up here?"

Vicky only had a meal and a glass of water each day, and she simply curled against the corner, looking as pale and helpless as a frail porcelain doll.

She looked around and realization dawned on her. "Is this...you again? Were you the one who sent people to kidnap me?"

He kept his eyes on her and said, "Yes."

She paused for a few moments before laughing.

"It's bad enough that you played this trick once, and here you are, playing the same trick... Don't you get bored?"

"It doesn’t matter if it's fun. What matters is that it worked." He lifted an eyebrow as he saw her shivering and chuckled. "Why are you shaking? Are you that scared of me?"

He was standing at a distance from her and started getting closer, which simply made her shivering worse.

He crouched and looked her in the eyes as he whispered into her ear, "If you are that afraid of me, what even made you run away?" His voice was melodious and pleasant, but each word felt like a blade that pierce directly through her.

He grabbed her by the chin with a half-smile. "If you had the courage to run, it just means that I haven't punished you enough." He caressed her cheek gently. "Looks like I've been too easy on you. Vicky, how should I punish you this time?"
