326 Chapter 326
"S--Sorry, I misspoke...." Chloe tried to cover up for the damage that she had done. She knew that Vernon must've realized much of the abuse that Vincent did to her.
No matter how hard she tried to cover it, she knew the secret would leak out sooner or later.
Vernon already knew that she was abused by Vincent and that bastard physically and mentally abused her.
And now, Vernon would also know that Vincent sexually abused her.
She never wanted the secret to leak out because she didn't want to ruin the relationship between the two brothers. After all, Vernon would still need Vincent's help if he wanted his business to grow.
So she... didn't want to be an obstacle.
"What do you mean misspoke?" Vernon asked.
"N--Nobody said anything about me. I'm so sorry...." Chloe replied as she was covering for Vincent's sin. She tried to force a smile but couldn't, and her tears continued flowing down as she felt a heartache.
Deep in her heart, she wanted to shout every sin that Vincent Gray had committed as loud as possible. She wanted to have a man who would protect her from that malicious bastard.
She wanted a man whom she could lean on.
But she knew that Vernon wasn't the man, nor anyone in this world.
Because Vincent was too powerful, if Chloe leaned on a man, that monster would ruin that man's life.
So, practically, if Chloe leaned on Vernon... he would also be destroyed by his big brother.
Chloe would never allow that to happen. Vernon had helped her enough, and she loved him... as his Big sis. She felt responsible for his well-being and prosperity.
So even if she had to sacrifice herself for his success, she would do it in a heartbeat, despite the pain she had to bear.
"I--I'm sorry, please forget what I said before--" Chloe started sobbing as she said something against her heart's desire.
Vernon's lips trembled when he saw how hard Chloe tried to hide her abuse.
Vernon knew that his Big brother was abusive towards her, but as he kept learning new things about their dynamics, he realized how much of a monster his Big brother was.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Vincent called your pussy ugly, didn't he?"
"N--NO! He did not!" Chloe denied it desperately.
But the more she denied it, the more obvious it was in Vernon's eyes.
Vernon's anger almost exploded when he saw her tear. He wanted to grab a knife, drive his car to his Big brother's mansion, and stab that bastard in the heart.
But if he did that, he would never be able to see his beloved woman again. So he had to take a more careful and clever approach to drag that monster to the mud.
Chloe watched how Vernon tried to hold on to his anger, and she started to get scared.
She had to admit that she still-- and probably always saw a shadow of Vincent in Vernon, which always scared her whenever Vernon looked angry.
"V--Vernon, I'm so sorry. Please don't be mad...."
"HOW CAN I NOT BE MAD?!" Vernon snapped.
Chloe jolted out of fear, and her tears started flowing even more, "I--I'm sorry..."
"Huh? For what?"
"F--For making you mad. I'm sorry, please stop being mad at me...."
"Mad at you? How come?!" Vernon retorted spontaneously. "I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at that bastard for hurting you!"
Chloe, who closed her eyes, slowly opened them after that sentence came out of Vernon's mouth. Her gaze was blurry because of the tears in her eyes, but she knew that Vernon was staring at her right now.
She didn't know what kind of stare he made, though, and she intentionally didn't wipe her eyes because she was too scared to see the expression that Vernon had made right now.
"I--I thought... you're mad at me..." Chloe replied weakly. She felt very exposed and vulnerable right now.
The ugliest part of her body was seen by Vernon, and no matter how much he tried to say that he didn't find it unattractive, Chloe would never believe him.
'All his words about eating my pussy. Those are just words to make me feel better. I know he won't do it....' Chloe thought. She felt a little sad but also relieved. At least Vernon wouldn't puke, just like how Vincent always made that vomiting gesture in front of her.
Vernon felt his heart pinched when he saw Chloe's eyes pooling with tears as she tried to hold on.
He knew this was a trauma that Chloe had experienced after a long time of the abuse, and he wanted to help-- no, he wanted to save her.
He wanted to know that she was in the right hand, even though he wasn't even sure if he could control his anger from time to time.
But for now...
Vernon released her inner thighs and slowly crawled until Vernon's head was on the same level as Chloe's.
He gently slipped his hand behind her and pushed her head in his direction.
Chloe was a little surprised, "Vernon, what are you--umphh!"
Chloe's eyes widened when her lips were by his kiss. She closed her eyes slowly as Vernon started kissing her deeper and used his tongue to pry open her lips.
"Ah--uhmp..." Chloe opened her mouth and let Vernon's tongue find hers in their deep french kiss.
She started to feel more relaxed when Vernon kissed her, and he gently trailed his big and hot palm from her back to her hips and then to her butt.
Vernon fondled her butt while he deepened the kiss, and Chloe drowned deeper as her body and mind were split between the comfort and lust that Vernon brought to her body.
But she liked it.
She liked everything that Vernon gave to her, and she wished...
'I wish I could fall in love with a man like you, Vernon. Even though I know it's so selfish of me to ever wish that....'
