Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 561

"No matter what, I'm his wife... He won't hurt me."

"No way," Alex flat-out refused. "I'd never make a woman my scapegoat. Over my dead body!"

Alex knew he was no match for Tyler, but he was no fool either.

Vicky had lost all her memories and would have never left with Alex had Alex's men not kidnapped her by mistake. Since Vicky was hardly responsible for what happened, she was simply dragged into the situation by Alex.

Not only had he failed to help Vicky, but he also caused her troubles, and he refused to blame it all on Vicky to save himself in the end.

Her heart was filled with bitterness, and she did not know if she was simply fantasizing about it, or if she had indeed shared such wonderful moments with Tyler in the past. If it had all happened before, she wondered what caused everything to change.

"Vicky." Tyler's chilling voice brought her back to reality. "I said, come here."

She snapped out of it and instinctively moved toward Tyler.

"Don't go, Vicky!" Alex could sense how she was trembling from fear toward Tyler. He pulled Vicky behind him and said, "Vicky, I won't let you go to him even if it costs me my life—"
