'If only you're as ruthless as I am, Chloe…' Vernon thought. 'Things would be so much easier if you can be a bit more cruel against those who hurt you.'
Vernon stared at the ceiling, and the face of the most beautiful woman on earth appeared in his imagination. His cold heart started to feel warm when the image of the woman smiled at her, 'But, I don't think I will fall in love with you if you're a cruel woman. The only reason why I have a proper childhood is because of you.'
'You're the one who saved me from the abyss, but you're also the one who plunged me back until it hurt me terribly….'
The smile on his lips dissipated. Whenever he recalled many happy memories with Chloe, his mind automatically recalled that one bad memory.
It was just one bad memory, but it was strong enough to cloud over all the good that Chloe had done for him when he was growing up.
