Ch. 131..135: Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother Chapter 131-135

Chapter 131

"I understand. I won't cook for you tonight. Don't forget to use a condom, okay? You still need to be careful. It's dangerous out there," Chloe warned as carefully as possible, not wanting to anger Vernon in any way.

Vernon's expression tightened instantly. He clenched his phone and yelled spontaneously, "DON'T PRETEND LIKE YOU CARE, BI—"

Vernon hung up the call before he said that slur word. He threw his phone on the bed beside the sofa. He kicked the table in front of him in a fit of rage, "Why do you keep pretending like you care about me? You didn't! You never cared about my life! ARRGHH!"

Click.

Nicky opened the door at the wrong time. She was stunned when she saw Mr. Phoenix Gray kicking the table while cursing at someone— a woman. He seemed to be stressed out and couldn't control his rage.

'He was so calm before, but I left him for fifteen minutes, and he is already raging like this?' Nicky pondered, then a bright idea came into her mind. 'Wait, isn't that a great opportunity? This is like a novel! Mr. Phoenix Gray must have broken up with his girlfriend and now wants to forget about her. I can replace that woman in his heart! O M G! I'm going to be rich!'

Nicky shyly entered the room and opened her mouth to notify her presence since Mr. Phoenix Gray seemed to be absorbed with his own rage right now.

"Pardon me, Mr. Phoenix Gray..." Nicky said.

Vernon turned around with hostility in his gaze, which made Nicky both scared and excited at the same time. She was fantasizing how good it'd feel to be fucked by such a handsome man that exuded tons of masculinity like Vernon Phoenix Gray.

Vernon went silent instantly. He wasn't the type to show his uncontrollable rage in front of other people, mostly because he had this public image of a devil-may-care attitude.

Not this mess of a man he was currently, all because of his sister-in-law. That woman made him like this!

Vernon tried to calm down. He disliked showing this side of him in front of strangers, "Sorry, I had a little fight with someone on the phone.

"It's fine, Mr. Phoenix Gray. I'm here to accompany you after all," Nicky said. "I've prepared the seven-star fantasy set of drinks. Sir, may I suggest you sip the light one and gradually go to the heavy one? The heavy one consists of a strong drink that might make you black out, though…."

"Yes, that'd be great," Vernon said. "But I shouldn't drink the last one before having you."

"S—Sure, Mr. Phoenix Gray…" Nicky's body started to feel warm when Mr. Phoenix Gray said that. She was already enamored by everything about him, and the way he told her that she'd be his tonight was absolutely fantastic!

'No wonder so many women competing for his love. He's so— Ugh, I can't even describe it at this point!'

Excited about what to come, Nicky tried to hold Vernon's hand— which Vernon didn't reject, and led him back to the sofa that he had kicked before, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, you should sit first and relax. I will put the drink on the table, so you can taste it."

"Hm, yeah…"

Vernon sat and watched how this waitress poured the first drink into a wine glass and put it on the table. The waitress stood beside the sofa, waiting for Vernon to drink it.

Vernon glanced at the waitress and grabbed her wrist. He yanked the waitress to sit right beside him on the sofa, "Ah— M—Mr. Phoenix Gray?!"

"Sit with me and help me drink it. I don't want to spend the night alone," Vernon said.

Nicky looked shy, but she was secretly rejoicing in her heart. Because she had a chance to be Vernon Phoenix Gray's woman for the night.

Nicky picked up the glass on the table and helped Vernon to drink it. Vernon felt relaxed after the first drink, he still had Chloe in his mind, but at least he wasn't as stressed as before.

After the fourth drink, Vernon started feeling tipsy. He blinked a few times to ensure he didn't close his eyes.

However, he was already dazed, emptily staring straight at the wall in front of him.

His mind was flooded with one woman he had never been able to dispel off his head, even for ten years after his departure. She filled every part of his brain… and his heart.

And that stayed the same even after ten years, probably even stronger now.

Vernon knew that he was an idiot for falling into the same trick, so he wanted to ruin his Big brother and sister-in-law at the same time, alongside the Gray family that had never fully accepted him.

So if he set everything on fire, he'd also be able to set his heart ablaze, leaving nothing but ashes of the image of that woman.

Nicky noticed that Mr. Phoenix Gray was staring emptily. He must've been in his trance, which was a perfect time to crawl into his heart.

'But first, I need him to tell a story about this woman in his heart, so I can slander her and call her a bitch until Vernon Phoenix Gray thinks of her as nothing worthy. Then I can replace her in his heart.'

"Mr. Phoenix Gray, are you still thinking about this woman? Is she that important to you?" Nicky asked. "Do you love her that much?"

…

Vernon didn't want to tell anyone about it at first, but after he drank the fifth drink, his mind started feeling a little too relaxed, lowering his guard. He finally opened his mouth to describe this woman;

"She has been in my mind for more than fifteen years, and I don't think she's going to leave anytime soon," Vernon said. "Not unless I burn everything to ashes. So I can forget her and the sweet but fake memories in my mind."

Chapter 132

"She has been in my mind for more than fifteen years, and I don't think she's going to leave anytime soon," Vernon said. "Not unless I burn everything to ashes. So I can forget her and the sweet but fake memories in my mind."

​ "Fake?" Nicky got curious about his story. Fifteen years of loving someone wasn't a short time. 'Does that mean this woman is Mr. Phoenix Gray's first love? Fifteen years that means he is around ten, right?'

Nicky was one of his fans on social media. She stalked his Instagram account and also all the rumors about him.

Vernon Phoenix Gray was a heartless playboy who had a lot of women by his side. But he was so charismatic that the woman who yearned for him ignored his obvious red flag of being unable to keep one relationship for more than a month.

How about Nicky?

'Well, I don't care if he can't keep a relationship for a month. That's because he just hasn't met with the right woman yet! I can be that girl!' Nicky was excited by her own thought, feeling that she and Mr. Pheonix Gray was destined to be together.

"Yes, she is fake, what she showed me when I was a kid… it's all false pretense…." Vernon replied, not filtering anything anymore as he was intoxicated. "I thought our feelings were mutual. But turns out I am the idiot who thinks that way. Because she absolutely despises me."

"How could that be—" Nicky was astonished by Vernon's words. "How could someone reject you, Mr. Phoenix Gray? You are a perfect man!"

"Heh, perfect," Vernon scoffed, full of ridicule. He was laughing at himself for being an idiot. "Apparently, I'm never enough for her. She always sees me as a lesser man compared to him."

"Him?"

…

Vernon refused to say more. He wasn't in the mood as he just wanted to sit like this for hours now, not doing anything.

Nicky wanted to pry more before she did her job to pacify his heart, so she asked, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, do you still love her?"

"Love her? HAH!" Vernon snarled, and his gaze darkened. The previously scary Vernon Phoenix Gray was now fueling with rage. Even Nicky felt that his intimidating aura was too much, even for her, who basically worshipped him— online, of course.

"I despise her as much as she despises me," Vernon said. "I want to make her suffer, so she will understand that she played with the wrong man!"

Nicky took a deep breath as she was also a little scared by him. She patted Vernon's shoulder and said, "It's okay, Mr. Phoenix Gray. That kind of woman is not your type. She doesn't seem to be a good woman either. Please drink for the night and forget about her. I will accompany you."

"Hrm."

Vernon was a little displeased that someone else dared call his sister-in-law 'not a good woman.' Because in his mind, he was the only one who could say that about her.

But he tried to ignore his anger as Nicky handed him the sixth drink. He stared at the drink for a while, knowing well that he would probably be drunk as shit after this.

But he was here to forget about her, even just a night.

Thus, Vernon picked the glass from Nicky's hand and drank everything in one gulp.

He put the glass on the table and sat silently for a while.

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

Vernon's gaze was blurred. He could barely see what was in front of him. His head spun, and he could barely think of anything.

He was the silent drunk type. He'd either fall asleep or just sit in silence for a long time after he got really drunk.

So he was unresponsive right now, much to Nicky's joy.

She waved her hand in front of Vernon, "Mr. Pheonix Gray? Sir? Are you still there?"

…

Vernon was unresponsive but still opened his eyes and breathing normally.

'Now's my chance!' Nicky gently placed her palm on Vernon's big and muscular chest. She leaned in and rested her head on his chest, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, do you still think about her?"

…

Vernon was still unresponsive, but his mind was thinking about the same woman over and over.

Nicky took his silence as a no because Mr. Phoenix Gray seemed to be so passionately in love and in rage when talking about this woman.

That… or he was just too drunk to think of anything, which was a perfect time for Nicky.

"Mr. Phoenix Gray…" Nicky trailed her hands, feeling Vernon's chest up to his neck. She hooked her arms around Vernon's neck and tried to pull his shoulder down to no avail.

Vernon Phoenix Gray was like an unmoved stone. Instead, she was the one who got pulled up until she could put her lips near his ear. She whispered to drunk Vernon, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, why don't we have fun tonight? You should forget about her, okay?"

"Her?" Vernon murmured something inaudible for Nicky. But he seemed to be thinking about that woman again.

Nicky was a little disappointed, but she wouldn't give up now. Not when her handsome gold mine was in front of her!

'I will make sure he had sex so good, he will fall in love with me! I will be Nicky Phoenix Gray after this!' Nicky was already fantasizing about her beautiful life in the future.

Nicky sat on Vernon's lap and ground his crotch with her ass. Vernon's crotch was making an obvious bulge in less than ten seconds. It was so big that Nicky could feel the size just by grinding on it. It was also hard as a rock, giving Nicky more reason to take everything off and let Vernon have a piece of her for the night.

"Oh… oh my! Mr. Phoenix Gray, you're well-endowed down here too! You're such a god's gift! I can't believe that a woman doesn't want you!"

Chapter 133

"Oh… oh my! Mr. Phoenix Gray, you're well-endowed down here too! You're such a god's gift! I can't believe that a woman doesn't want you!" Nicky praised. She couldn't contain her excitement even more. She leaned in, wanting to kiss Mr. Phoenix Gray, who was unresponsive.

She leaned closer and closer until her lips were only one inch away from his. Vernon was staring emptily, his body was responsive to touch, but he didn't seem to realize the woman in front of him.

His mind continued to flood with one woman and that woman only. Her figure, smile, voice, everything about her had completely filled his mind from fifteen years ago, and that never changed and probably will never be.

Vernon couldn't think straight amidst his drunken stupor, but when he felt the breath of someone in front of him, his mind regained a little consciousness, and he saw the face of a random woman almost kissing him.

"What the—" Vernon pushed Nicky right before their lips touched.

"AH!"

Nicky fell backward and rolled on the ground until her back hit the table. She grimaced in pain and saw Mr. Phoenix Gray unsteadily get up from the seat.

He massaged his temples, trying to wake up just a little bit.

"M—Mr. Phoenix Gray, why did you push me?" Nicky asked. She was close to her goal of kissing Vernon Phoenix Gray and scored on him.

But Vernon suddenly pushed her and became hostile.

"Mr. Phoenix Gray…"

Vernon's felt his head being pounded by a hammer from behind. He was so dizzy and couldn't find the woman he was looking for.

He looked down when the waitress called his name and glared as if he was ready to kill her right here.

"What?"

"Mr. Phoenix Gray, I thought you wanted me tonight…."

"Are you fucking kidding me? I HAVE A WOMAN AT HOME!" Vernon proclaimed out loud. "What do you think I am? A fucking cheater?!"

Nicky was shocked because Mr. Phoenix Gray still remembered the woman he despised so much despite being in his drunken stupor.

'He shouldn't even remember being alive at this point! How could he still think about that woman?!' Nicky thought, thinking that she might have witnessed something unbelievable.

Vernon hit his head a few times to keep his consciousness. He had no control over his mind right now. All he did was follow his instinct about going home.

He must go home because he had a woman waiting for his arrival. He didn't need this random woman grinding his dick while he had his loved one at home!

Vernon looked around to find his phone. Once he found it on the bed, he snatched it and smacked his head at least three times so he could still see the number on his phone.

He was thinking about calling his sister-in-law…

But he didn't want that woman to come here and see what kind of place he visited, especially not with his nagging bitch beside him. His instinct told him that he didn't want to be scolded by her.

So he called his trusted secretary, Diamond Johnson.

The phone beeped a few times until Diamond picked up the call;

—

"Hello, boss?" Diamond answered the phone. She wasn't exactly fond of the late-night call. But she was Mr. Phoenix Gray's secretary, and this wasn't the first time he called in the middle of the night either.

Not for sexual stuff, of course. Diamond lost her interest just a month after working with him. Thinking about it already made her feel so gross.

"Diamond, uh… pick me up, I'm at… uh…." Vernon shook his head a few times, trying to remember where he was. "I'm at uh…."

"Got it," Diamond said. "I'll be there with my car instead."

"Yeah, I… I want to go home and meet her, my woman…." Vernon said weakly.

Diamond gasped as her eyes widened instantly.

It wasn't the first time Mr. Phoenix Gray got too drunk to function. But he never said that he had a woman at home or whatsoever. He'd just go with whoever the woman was by his side at that time and spend the night having fun before ditching that woman and going for another.

"W—Wait, you want to go home and meet your woman?! Oh shit, yes! I'm going there!" Diamond got excited, thinking that Vernon would finally admit that to whom his heart harbored.

"Don't touch anyone yet! My homegirl deserves the best!" Diamond warned before

"Uh—huh…"

—

Nicky got up from the ground and tried to stop Vernon from leaving, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, p—please sit down first and let's chat. I know that you're tired of this woman. Why don't you forget about her tonight and… and have me instead?"

Vernon ignored her, trying his best to search his wallet and car key despite the headache.

Knowing that she had failed to seduce him, Nicky tried to jump on Vernon, sitting on the bed. She landed on top of him and hugged him tightly, pressing her boobs, hoping that Vernon Phoenix Gray would finally ignore that woman in his head at least for one night and give her a chance.

"Please, Mr. Phoenix Gray! Give me a chance! I will have a wonderful night with you! You will forget about that woman, I SWEAR!!"

She desperately clung to him, but Vernon was not aroused. He was disgusted instead.

"GET OFF OF ME, BITCH!" Vernon pushed the woman until she fell backward again. No matter how much she tried to desperately clung to him, there was only one woman in his mind right now.

Nicky's back hit the sofa this time. He saw Vernon grabbed his stuff scattered on the bed, intending to leave while she still hadn't succeeded with her attempt.

So she got even more desperate and started unbuttoning her tight shirt and threw the shirt on Vernon, who was still trying to recover from the headache.

Vernon saw the shirt that had been thrown at him and turned his head in the direction of the waitress. Nicky was only wearing her blue bra as she brazenly said, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, look at me! I can be your woman tonight!"

Chapter 134

Vernon saw the shirt that had been thrown at him and turned his head in the direction of the waitress. Nicky was only wearing her blue bra as she brazenly said, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, look at me! I can be your woman tonight!"

Vernon's patience was already at his limit. His head was banging like crazy, and this bitch continued to scream about being his woman or whatever. Even though Vernon already told her that he had a woman at home!

Seeing that Mr. Phoenix Gray didn't respond to her at all, Nicky became utterly desperate. She jumped towards Mr. Phoenix Gray and pushed him!

"WHAT THE—" Vernon was surprised when this crazy waitress suddenly pushed him until he lost his footing and fell on the bed behind him. Nicky quickly took the chance by sitting on Vernon's abs and took off her bra desperately.

"Mr. Phoenix Gray, please, just one night. I promise you won't regret it! PLEASE!" Nicky threw her bra to the CEO's face, much to Vernon's disgust.

He grabbed the bra on his face and threw it away. He glared at this crazy bitch who was mounting him.

Nicky thought she still had a chance, so she begged, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, I will make sure that you will enjoy me. Just forget about that ugly bitch in your life, okay?"

Vernon finally snapped when someone called his woman an 'ugly bitch.'

He grabbed Nicky's arm and flung her to the side.

"AH!" Nicky shrieked as she landed on the bed, lying right beside Vernon. She thought that Mr. Phoenix Gray would finally do something to her.

But he just got up from the bed and shook his head again as he tried to stabilize his body before attempting to leave the room.

"M—Mr. Phoenix Gray—"

"SHUT UP!" Vernon finally snapped, and Nicky zipped her mouth out of shock.

Vernon stood while backing Nicky. He had no intention of looking at her. He clenched his fist as he tried to quell his anger, "I have my woman waiting for me at home. I'm not a cheater, and she is not replaceable by anyone, do you understand?"

"But…"

Before Nicky could continue her sentence, Vernon took off all the money in his wallet and threw it at the bed. Nicky saw the hundred dollars bills raining on her. She should be happy that she got the money she wanted.

But this was nothing compared to the money Vernon Phoenix Gray— the rising CEO, had in his bank account.

Unfortunately, she had lost her chance. Maybe she was too eager, but shouldn't all men love an eager woman? Especially a playboy like Vernon, who had met many women who wanted to climb on his bed.

'That woman in his heart… is she that important for him?' Nicky wondered, feeling depressed as she sat silently while the dollars scattered on the bed.

"That should be enough for you," Vernon said. He exerted more strength to walk to the door and left the room.

He was at his limit. His headache was unbearable, and his body swayed left and right until he had to take a break by leaning on the wall as he tried to walk out of the bar.

There was only one woman in his mind right now, the one he had been dreaming of every night.

The one he only had his eyes on, and he wanted to return to her no matter what.

"I need her. I need her by my side…." Vernon murmured as he pushed himself to continue walking towards the front of the bar so he could escape.

…

Diamond arrived quickly after she got the call from her Boss. She was excited to finally see progress between her Boss and her homegirl. Since she wasn't allowed to interfere by Vernon, the only thing she could do was to support them whenever there was progress.

She entered the bar and headed straight to the manager whom she was familiar with.

The manager turned his head towards Diamond, and his face brightened instantly, "Ah, Diamond! Are you here to pick up Mr. Phoenix Gray again?"

"Obviously," Diamond said since this scenario had happened many times. "He called me so I can pick him up."

"Hmm, I thought he'd spend the night here," the bar manager said. "He ordered seven-star fantasy, a set of seven drinks to make you black out drunk after the seventh shot. The new waitress seems to be very excited as well."

The luxury bar manager signaled that Vernon might have taken that woman to spend the night with, but Diamond shook her head fervently, "No, he said he wants to return home because he— well, the detail doesn't matter. I'm just here to pick him up."

"Oh well, he is in—"

"Urgh..."

Diamond and the bar manager turned their heads at the same time once they heard a grunt coming from the corridor leading to the private rooms.

They saw Vernon Phoenix Gray walking out while trying to prop himself on the wall.

"SIR!" Diamond rushed to her Boss and propped him on her shoulder while the manager followed and helped to prop the other side.

"Diamond, I… I want to meet…."

Vernon was stammering, trying his hardest to utter what he wanted to do right now. He was barely there after the sixth shot of that seven-star fantasy drink kicked in his body.

"Yeah, I know, Boss. I will bring you to her," Diamond said. She was helped by the manager to put Vernon in her car, then returned to the bar to pay with Vernon's credit card.

"Did he also… you know," Diamond asked, mentioning whether Vernon had to pay for that woman in his private room.

But the bar manager shook his head, "I checked the room, and Mr. Phoenix Gray gave her more than enough tips. Besides, the waitress said that he didn't touch her at all. You should see the defeated look in her eyes. This should be the first time Mr. Phoenix Gray rejected a woman here."

Chapter 135

"You should see the defeated look in her eyes. This should be the first time Mr. Phoenix Gray rejected a woman here," the bar manager said.

Diamond sighed in relief. Of course, it was Vernon's right with whom he wanted to have sex.

But she wanted the best for her new best friend, Chloe. So, if she could deliver this big package to her without a dent, that'd be great!

After she paid it, Diamond returned to her car and saw Vernon closed his eyes, seemingly asleep.

Diamond put on a seatbelt for them both, and she drove through the night in New York, heading to the Phoenix Tower. She checked Vernon repeatedly and asked, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, are you asleep?"

"… Huh? I… Chloe…" Vernon murmured that name weakly, much to Diamond's excitement.

"Okay, he's not dead yet. I hope he can stay alive until we arrive at his apartment!"

**

Chloe sat on a couch in the living room. She only turned on a few dim lights while waiting for Vernon to return home.

She checked her phone to see whether Vernon had texted her, then checked the time;

"It's two hours past midnight already…." Chloe murmured. She was already asleep on the couch about an hour ago while waiting for Vernon to return home.

But Diamond suddenly rang her phone and told her to stay awake because she was taking a drunk Vernon home.

Though Vernon had already told her not to wait for him because he wanted to have fun in the bar, she still had this gut feeling that he'd return tonight.

So she waited patiently to ensure she'd help Vernon a bit while he was drunk.

What kind of help?

Well, taking his shoes and socks off, took off his shirt that might've been stained with drink, and helped him to drink a glass of water before sleeping. It was just simple aftercare that Chloe did to Vincent often when he came home drunk— though she could barely do those for him because Vincent would push or kick her while trying to help.

And that also didn't count the time when Vincent came home drunk as fuck, but with a random woman by his side.

Chloe sighed, the more she thought about her life with Vincent, the sadder she got, but that jerk filled ten years of her life, plus fifteen more years of her younger days when they were dating.

"Who would've expected the prince charming is actually a monster in disguise after he got married?" Chloe murmured.

She tucked her black satin night robe as she continued waiting. She didn't wear anything other than lingerie under the satin night robe. She liked sleeping bra-less because it felt stuffy at night wearing them, and she'd done it for so long since she was already sleeping in a different room when Vincent kept on bringing new women to their bedroom.

"Ah, it's fine. Vernon is dead drunk, after all. He won't see me wearing this," Chloe thought.

About fifteen minutes later, the bell from the main door rang. Chloe got up and loosely tied her night robe before walking to the main door.

She opened it slowly and peeked. She was surprised when she saw Diamond coming with Vernon, whom she propped on her shoulder. Her face was in a lot of pain, and she complained, "Girl— open the door. I'm supporting a literal gorilla here!"

"Ah, yes!" Chloe opened the door wide, and before she could do anything, Diamond suddenly pushed the big, muscular man towards Chloe.

"AH!"

The petite Chloe could not support Vernon, who was twice her size. She struggled and looked at Diamond, who was catching her breath."

"D—Diamond, help me! I can't carry him alone!"

"Oh, he's now your problem, gurl," Diamond said. "You should know that he hasn't touched any woman tonight."

"T—That doesn't matter—"

"Doesn't matter? Gurl, you're literally wearing a sexy night robe. You must've planned everything, right?" Diamond giggled happily. "Oh well, hope you can handle him. Good night, you two."

Diamond closed the door and left.

"Wait, Diamond— Ah, darn it!" Chloe was utterly hopeless now. Vernon was sleeping on top of her body. He was literally twice her size and was so big and heavy. She couldn't even move her body under his, alone carrying Vernon to his room.

Having no other way out, Chloe started slapping Vernon's cheeks lightly to wake him up, "Vernon, Vernon, wake up. You need to move to your bed."

…

There was no response from the big man. Vernon continued slapping his cheeks and tried to push his chest to no avail. In contrast, Vernon seemed very comfortable as his body got heavier.

Chloe decided to whisper in his ear, "Vernon, wake up, okay? You need to sleep in your bed. It's not good if you sleep here…."

Magically, Vernon opened his eyes in an instant. He put his palm between Chloe's head and pushed himself up.

He stared emptily at the woman under him. His gaze was blurry, but he was convinced that he heard his woman's voice whispering gently to his ear.

It took him a while, and when he finally got a clear view of the woman under him, his breath heaved instantly.

Chloe was relieved that Vernon seemed to have recovered a little. She gently placed her palm on his jaw and said, "Vernon, you need to get up and sleep in the bed, okay?"

…

Vernon was unresponsive, but he kept staring at her for a while until he suddenly murmured, "My woman."

"Eh?"

Vernon got up and lifted Chloe by grabbing her waist. He carried Chloe on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, "LET'S GO TO BED!"

"EH?! AH! V—Vernon, put me down!" Chloe yelled. Now she was convinced that Vernon was so drunk that he didn't even recognize her.

Chloe tried to struggle to release herself from Vernon's shoulder and escaped.

"Vernon put me down! Put me— Ah, MY ROBE!" Chloe's night robe accidentally slipped and fell on the floor, leaving Chloe wearing nothing but her thin lingerie that barely covered her slit down there.
