Chapter 4 Without Tyler Horton present , Sarah Carlisle shed her usual fragile façade . Her expression brimmed with arrogance and provocation as she sneered at me . Elizabeth , dont think that just because youre Mrs. Horton in name , you have any real powert In Tylers heart , theres only one person met I narrowed my eyes and scrutinized her . If I had felt detached and indifferent toward her before , catching her in bed with Tyler had wiped away any pretense of civility , I sat on the couch , deliberately firing back : Youre right Tylers heart belongs to you . Sarahs smug smile grew wider , convinced she had won this round . I continued calmly : But its me he married . Even if its just a title , he didnt give it to you . The smugness froze on her face . I stood and asked coldly , If youre so important to him , why hasnt he married you ? The words hit Sarah like a dagger . Her smile vanished , replaced by a look of fury . Unable to contain herself , she lunged at me , raising her hand to strike . I quickly raised my arm to block her . Just then , Tyler appeared in the doorway . Although I hadnt even touched her , Sarah suddenly threw herself to the ground with à pitiful cry : Ah ! Elizabeth , how could you hit me … Everything unfolded perfectly within Tylers line of sight . He Forgot it . He Regreted I Chapter 4 His face darkened as he stormed over in a few strides , crouching down beside Sarah . Sarah , are you okay ?! Feigning strength , Sarah gave him a weak smile . Its nothing . I just fell . It doesnt hurt , Im fine . Tylers eyes burned with fury as he turned to me , his voice filled with contempt : Elizabeth ! You really havent changed ! I let out a mocking laugh . I didnt even touch her . Youre blind , Tyler . Youll believe anything she acts out . Sarah clung to Tylers arm , her tear filled eyes glistening with innocence . Tyler , dont blame Elizabeth . She didnt mean it . Tyler , however , was livid . After what she did to you , youre still defending her ? He placed Sarah gently on the couch before turning to me , his tone commanding : Elizabeth , kneel down and apologize to Sarah . I straightened my back and looked him in the eye , refusing to respond . Sarah tugged lightly on Tylers sleeve . Tyler , forget it . If she doesnt want to apologize , dont force her . Sarah , youre too kind . Thats why she keeps hurting you , Tyler replied , his voice dripping with disgust as he stepped closer to me . Elizabeth , he growled , are you going to apologize or not ? Keeping my face calm , I replied , I did nothing wrong . I wont apologize . 14.50 He Forgot It . He Regreted It 8.5 % Chapter 4 What I didnt expect was for Tyler to kick the back of my knees with force . I stumbled and fell to the ground . He pressed his hand against the back of my head , forcing me into a bow toward Sarah . His strength was overwhelming . My forehead hit the hard floor tiles , sending a sharp wave of dizziness and pain through me . limbs gave out , and I collapsed onto the cold ground . Tyler sneered at my pathetic state. Elizabeth , youve denied too many things . And youre still claiming you didnt harm Sarah ? Have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf ? No matter how you act , Ill never believe you . He released me and helped Sarah to her feet , leading her out of the house . I was left alone , lying on the icy floor . Suddenly , a fragment of memory flashed through my mind . It was at my birthday party . Sarah had fallen into the pool , and Tyler , rushing to the scene , had jumped in to save her without even removing his shoes , still dressed in his shirt and trousers . After pulling her from the water , Tyler had wrapped her in a blanket and held her close as she shivered in his arms . Her eyes were filled with guilt and pain as she stammered , Elizabeth , I know you dont like me . You can treat me however you want , but why did you push me ? I cant even swim … All eyes at the party had turned to me shocked , curious , and eager for drama . Ignoring their stares , I focused on Tyler . 14.51 He Forgot It He Regreted It Chapter 4 I didnt care about anyone elses judgment as long as he believed me . Looking into his eyes , I had explained sincerely , Tyler , it wasnt me . I had just walked past her when she fell in on her own- Elizabeth , your excuses are worse than your lies , Tyler had interrupted coldly . Cradling Sarah in his arms , his gaze was filled with disdain . Do you think Id believe such a pathetic excuse ? ow , lying on the ground , I watched Tyler walk out with Sarah in his arms once again . In that moment , the betrayal from the past and the present collided , igniting a fiery anger deep within me two flames that burned brighter than ever before .
