Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 974

The air immediately became thick with tension once the question was out of Vicky's mouth. No matter how obtuse she was, she could sense something was not right with Tyler. 'He was the one who asked for the divorce so why is he doing this to me?' Vicky thought.

After a few seconds of silence, Tyler finally said, "Perhaps you're right. It'll be unfair to you if I ask you to stay away from other men when I'm not your husband anymore."

He reached out his hand and gently brushed her lips with his fingers. "I have an idea. You can be my lover and we'll treat each other just like we did before. What do you think?"

It took a long while for Vicky to process what he just said.

"Tyler, is this another one of your ways of taking revenge on me?" she asked with shock.

'He was the one who forced me into getting a divorce with him and now he wants me to be his secret lover? Is this my karma for heartlessly dumping him in the past?' thought Vicky.

"Revenge?" Tyler did not seem to agree with her interpretation of things. "No, you should see it as an honor instead."

"An honor? You've got to be kidding me, right?"

"Do you know how many women out there would like to be my lover?" Tyler looked at her. "And amongst them are countless famous socialites who come from better backgrounds than you."

Tyler was not exaggerating. With his status and his looks, he could get any woman he wanted. In fact, he did not even have to lift a finger and the women would be throwing themselves at him. Girlfriend, wife, mistress, or secret lover, it did not matter what title he gave them, and they would still be willing to do anything he asked of them.

"I guess I'm the exception then," said Vicky coldly.

Tyler's eyes darkened. Looking into his eyes was like staring into the abyss.

"Yes, you're the exception."

Vicky frowned.

"Are you not happy?" Tyler asked suddenly.

The change of topic was too fast for Vicky to grasp what he was really asking.

Vicky's face was pale with anger. "You're being ridiculous! Tyler Hart, we're already divorced, and might I remind you that you were the one who asked for the divorce! It doesn't matter whether I was being real or just putting on an act. What's done is done!"

She paused here to take some deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Tyler, I'm not some pet who is at your beck and call. I'm willing to admit that I've done some horrible things to you in the past, and that's why I'm willing to forgive you for taking revenge on me. I don't blame you for what you've done to me at all, nor do I have the intention to hurt you like how you hurt me.

"Because, at the end of the day, I deserve all the hurt you inflicted upon me. However, that ended the moment we signed the divorce papers. I don't owe you anything anymore, and if you still want to take revenge on me or think that I haven't been hurt enough or… you feel like you want to have me under your thumb again…"

Vicky's eyes, which were illuminated by the dim car lights, were exceptionally pure and bright as if they could cleanse one's soul just by looking at them.

She looked deeply into Tyler's eyes and said, "I'm sorry to say this, but I won't play your games anymore. If you continue to threaten me like before… I definitely won't sit still and let you have your way."

Tyler's revenge on her had caused her immeasurable pain.
