Chapter 597 597
Vincent was dazed as he kept staring at the woman, who was obviously Chloe. But the Chloe he had known for the past ten years was either a literal whale or a skinny twig that could break anytime.
So he wasn't used to seeing Chloe at a healthy weight and with a ruddy complexion. His mind started recalling that day when he met Chloe for the first time in high school.
She was always the school beauty, the kind of woman you couldn't take your eyes off.
She was popular, and despite being born as a lowlife, she was about to mingle with other students. She was also top of her class, even beating Vincent in all subjects, which was a huge feat on its own because Vincent was incredibly smart academically.
Vincent was attracted to her naturally, and it wasn't hard for him to pull her off because he was THE Vincent Gray. Who didn't want to date him?
He thought she was an easy girl he could hook up with, and it was also true. Though Vincent didn't admit it, it was also his first time, so both of them were taking each others' virginity back in high school.
Chloe was just perfect, like a suit tailored just for him.
She was beautiful, smart, well-mannered, kind, and caring.
Thus, Vincent decided to prolong their date for one year, two years, three years… up to the point that he actually proposed to her when they were twenty-five.
Of course, he had to do something to kick his little brother away because Vernon started showing signs of obsession with Chloe.
'Well, that little trick I did with Dad's help was efficient enough to make Vernon hate his Big sis Chloe instantly. So I don't need to worry about that kid getting too obsessed with my wife,' Vincent thought. 'Vernon should thank me for that. He needed to learn his place as someone lower than me.'
That wedding day… It was the day when Vernon felt something change within him.
He realized how beautiful Chloe had become. She attracted so many men that almost every man in their wedding ceremony had their eyes solely on Chloe.
Vincent realized he had to do something because one thing he learned from his late Dad was.
-
'You need to make sure your woman is subservient to you. Women are promiscuous. They can and will cheat on you when they have the chance. So you need to break her before she breaks you first,' Vaughn told Vincent once.
'Don't you see your mother? I tried breaking her so many times, but she still acts like a crazy bitch. If you want your wife to be an obedient one, you need to keep breaking her over and over until she will be completely dependent on you.'
'But how about us, Dad?' Vincent asked. 'Is it okay for us to be promiscuous?'
Vaughn laughed when he heard his son's question, 'Foolish, of course we can! We're men! Men have a strong libido. Of course we can have sex with any woman that we want, we are the Gray family, we have everything that a woman wants!'
-
Thus, after that wedding day, Vincent decided to break Chloe slowly. He didn't want his wife to cheat, so he had to break her as much as possible.
While in the process of breaking his wife, Vincent also realized that he actually developed a fetish just like his late Dad.
He liked seeing Chloe crying and begging to be spared. He liked seeing her cowering in the corner of the room like a rat, covering her head with her arms, which was a futile attempt because Vincent could just kick her body.
It was all fun and games.
Unfortunately, Chloe became ugly after she gave birth. She became super fat and could not lose weight for at least five years straight.
He immediately lost his sexual interest in her. He just couldn't bear to have sex with an ugly bitch, so he slept around even more, to vent out his sexual drive outside.
Chloe blamed her depression, saying that she wasn't happy, so it was difficult for her to lose weight. But Vincent beat her even harder because she was so fucking ungrateful after all the things he gave her.
Then, Chloe started to lose weight, thanks to him shaming her every day, 'It's an effective way for her to lose weight. She will eventually realize how ugly she was,' he thought.
But then, she started losing weight rapidly to the point that she was nothing but skin and bones, which wasn't something that Vincent liked, so he didn't feel like having sex with the skinny version of his wife either.
'I've endured ten years staying with an ugly woman I call as a wife. I should be getting a medal of honor at this point.'
He was lost in his own thoughts that he didn't hear Secretary Maria calling him repeatedly.
"Sir, SIR!"
"…" Vincent finally lifted his head and stared at Maria. "What?"
"Sir, you've been staring at the paused video for at least thirty minutes. May I know if there is something bugging your mind?" Secretary Maria asked.
"… it's nothing. I'll resume watching it by myself," Vincent said before he handed the phone back to the old secretary.
Maria accepted her phone call, but she couldn't help to question her boss' sudden change of behavior, "Sir, this is a very important video. We should take swift action about this, or else this will spread like a wildfire in gossip news, and even official news sites."
"Just tell the PR team to do whatever necessary," Vincent ordered.
"They are already doing their best, Sir. But we still need your command," Secretary Maria insisted, but Vincent wasn't in the mood to do anything right now. The image of Chloe on their wedding day lingered in his head, making him unable to think straight.
So he waved his hand and said, "Just leave now, Maria. I will give you a command tomorrow. I'm too exhausted to talk with you."
