Chapter 2

When I pushed open the door to Tyler's VIP lounge, Amber quickly slid off his lap.

Tyler's pants were unzipped. Thankfully, the room was dark, and he quickly zipped them back up.

The other bastards looked at me with weird, knowing smiles.

"Whoa, Chloe. Are you here to keep Tyler on a leash?"

"Don't worry, we're keeping a close eye on him for you. He's behaving."

Thinking about what I had just heard, I walked straight up to Tyler and slapped him across the face.

He got angry instantly. "What the hell are you doing?!"

I shook my hand casually. "Nothing. There was a fly on your face."

Amber gasped, "Mr. Vance, does it hurt? I'll get you some ice."

I turned around and slapped her face too. "Does it hurt? Feel it yourself."

She covered her cheek, her eyes welling with tears. "Miss Davis, how can you just assault people like this?"

"Assault?" I smirked at her.

"Do I look like I'm just hitting random people? My hands only hit trashy men and cheap girls."

She stamped her foot, whining to Tyler. "Mr. Vance, you have to stand up for me! I can't just let her hit me for no reason!"

Tyler shoved her away and gently grabbed my hand.

"Does your hand hurt, babe?"

"Not at all."

I slapped him twice more, left and right. In front of all his friends, his ego finally cracked.

"Can you not be so jealous in public? My friends are all here. Do you have to embarrass me like this?"

His friends had all slept with me, and he still cared about his "embarrassment"?

"Tyler, life is just too boring and flat. I wanted to add some excitement to it too."

His expression changed. "What do you mean by that?"

I smiled. "Nothing. Just talking."

Before I left, I walked up to every single one of his friends and slapped them too.

"So sorry, guys. If you want to return the slap, do it to Tyler. After all, you guys are best friends."

Tyler ran out after me, apologizing to his friends along the way.

"Chloe, what is wrong with you today? Is it because of Amber?"

"Don't worry about her. She's just a plaything. All my friends do it, and if I don't join in, I'll be left out of their business circles. They won't share their investment deals with me."

"You know my family went bankrupt once. Life was so hard back then, everyone looked down on me. I never want to go back to that."

"I can't lose these friends who can make me rich."

He remembered his past struggle, but he completely forgot that I was the one who pulled him out of that quicksand.

I desperately wanted to stab him right there, but I held back.

I wanted him to fall from the absolute peak.

After all, the higher you stand, the harder you crash.

The next morning, he was standing at my front door.

"Chloe, didn't you say you weren't feeling well yesterday? Let me take you to the hospital."

I didn't reject him. I wanted to see him act.

At the hospital, the doctor smiled and congratulated me.

"You're pregnant, four weeks along. Congratulations!"

"Pregnant?!"

The suppressed rage on Tyler's face was so realistic, he deserved an Oscar.

He dragged me into his car and locked the doors.

"Tell me the truth! How did this happen? When did you cheat on me? Who is the man?!"

I shook my head, crying. "I don't know... I don't know anything."

"How can you not know?!"

He shook my shoulders violently. "Whose bed did you climb into? How can you not know?"

"Chloe, I never knew you were such a shameless woman!"

He got angrier and angrier. "Yesterday you threw a tantrum over Amber, and today you present me with a bastard child? Wow, Chloe. Just wow."

I kept crying. "Don't ask me. I really don't know who it is. It felt like... like there were many men, but my head was so foggy."

A flash of panic went through his eyes. "How many do you remember?"

What a piece of trash.

I shook my head. "I don't know, I really don't. Tyler, please don't ask me anymore."

He clenched his fists, took several deep breaths, and then slowly hugged me tight.

"It's okay. We'll abort this bastard child, and everything will go back to how it was."

"No!"

I screamed, sobbing. "Tyler, I don't deserve you anymore. I can't marry you. Let's cancel the wedding."

He panicked. "How can we cancel it? No! I told you, no matter what happens, no matter how badly you hurt me, I will forgive you."

"Chloe, as long as you get rid of this baby and transfer the Davis Enterprises shares your parents left you to my name, I will forgive you completely."

"I won't tell anyone about this. You just need to quietly get the abortion."

"Really?"

I asked timidly, wiping my tears. "You really won't hold it against me?"

"Only if you agree to my terms."

I immediately opened the car door. "Fine. Let's go abort it right now."
