Chapter 2
The men were staring at the monitor with excitement. I followed their gaze and felt my breath stop
Da the night vision camera feed. Tyler was pressing the woman against the wall, their bodies intertwined as if he longing
he wanted to devour her, expressing all his
In five years together, I had never seen Tyler so passionate and wild||
As if sensing something, he suddenly looked toward the camera, quickly covered Olivia with his jacket, and grabbed a prop skull to throw at the camera]
“GET
LOSTI You think you can look at my Lis? I gouge your eyes out if you keep staring!–]
The screen immediately turned to static. One of the men sheepishly rubbed his nose
“It was so dark, and he covered her up so well. What could we even see? Why’s he so angry?”
The other day I joked about checking Emma’s body, and Tyler just laughed and nodded. But with Olivia, she’s clearly his precious treasure. Totally different treatment |
Iclenched my fists tightly, then let them go in defeat
When faced with an unbearable truth, your first reaction isn’t anger–it’s denial.[]
Even after my manager reminded me three times that I could remove my makeup and clock nut, I was still so shocked that I seemed to be frozen in place
1 couldn’t believe that the man they described–the one who played with people’s feelings was the man I’d loved for five years.
An hour later, Tyler emerged from the escape room with Olivis in his ariss ||
The bright light dearly illuminated his handsome face, shanering my self–deception once and for all
Olivia’s neck was covered in love bates. She noticed the wound on my forehead and said apologetically||
I’m so sorry about that. My boyfriend has a bit of a temper. Don’t take it personally, he’s just extremely possessive of me “||
Tyler, hurry up and make it up to her![]
Tyler’s gaze met mine, and for a moment I thought be recognized me
I waited for him to explain or at least deny the title of “boyfriend. Anything to make me feel less like a complete joke
Instead, he just pulled out a checkbook, scribbled some numbers, tossed it at my feet, and coldly said:[]
“Keep your mouth shut, if I find out you’ve been spreading rumors and damageri Lay’s reputation, you’ll regret it.
We’d been ingether for five years. I could recognize his silhouette in the dim room
Yet here I stood before him, my face merely painted with makeup for my NPC role, and he was busy warning me not to damage his “girlfriend’s” reputation |
Did he truly not recognize me, or had I never mattered so him at all?
Tyler put his arm around Olivia and walked toward a Bendey outside, attentively opening the door for her, gently fastening her seatbelt, and driving away.
Not once did he look back at me
I stared at the luxury car and felt bitterness rise within me
Because of our debt and his mother’s medical bills, we supposedly couldn’t afford a used car. Every day, we relied on taking the subway and walking to shunie bark and forth between the places where we worked
Countess times when luxury cars carrying beautiful women passed us, Tyler would point and tell me
“Thuna just wait. Someday 111 let you ride in a car like that. My passenger seat belongs only to you.¶]
Geern if we were no hard to live our life, if I had his promise, I was the happiest woman in the world||
in the passenger seat want me
had his luxury car, but the woman in
caine the most ridiculous woman in the world
