Loving You In Secret

Tyler stood at the front in his suit. He looked tall and impeccably groomed, exuding an even more striking presence than ever.
He met Vicky’s gaze and raised an eyebrow. “Why are you here?”
His words struck her like a bolt of lightning.
Vicky had considered many unexpected events that might happen at the wedding. She had entertained the possibility that Tyler
might run away. He could leave during the ceremony, or he might even refuse to say his vows. However, never in her wildest
dreams did she imagine that she was not the bride at this wedding at all.
Looking into his deep, dark eyes, Vicky could only muster three words. “Why did you...?”
Tyler feigned puzzlement. “Hm?”
Vicky clenched her fist, her voice trembling with emotion. “Why did you deceive me?”
“Deceive you?” A faint smile played on Tyler’s lips, his gaze cool and detached. “Did I ever say I’d marry you?”
Her eyes widened as the fragments of their past, like scenes from a movie, raced through her mind.
He had been respectful and gentle with her recently. Anyone who saw them together would think he was deeply committed to
her; even Vicky herself believed it.
He never suppressed the public’s comments about them as if he acknowledged their impending wedding.
He introduced her to his family and spoke of their upcoming wedding in front of them to mislead her.
Unfortunately, he was also correct that he never said he would marry her.
As Vicky’s nails dug into her palm, Vicky said each word slowly, emphasizing her point. “If you didn’t want to marry me, why did
you make me plan this entire wedding?”
“I heard that your studio had added wedding planning to its services. I simply hired you to help with the preparations,” he said. As
if something had just dawned on him, he added, “By the way, I’ve already transferred your payment for the work you’ve done
during this time to your account.”
Vicky turned her head slowly, her gaze fixed on Aria.

Aria wore the same wedding gown as Vicky. The necklace around her neck and the earrings in her ears were meticulously
selected by Vicky herself.
This elaborate wedding, into which she had poured her heart and soul, was meant for him and another woman instead.
“Good god. Does she think Tyler will marry her?”
“Tsk tsk! Judging from the way she looks, she’s forcing Tyler to choose between them.”
“Choose between them? Does she think that’s even a choice? The rings have been exchanged!”
“How embarrassing!”
“Yeah, thank goodness there were no media or live broadcasts invited today. Otherwise, she’d be globally embarrassed.”
‘Live broadcast?’ Vicky thought. ‘Yes, I did decline offers from the media and refused live broadcasting. Is that how I managed to
escape this disaster somehow?’
The strange discussions and gazes from those around her felt like they came from a distant world.
