Chapter 43: She deserved to be punished
After eating, the atmosphere between the couple was still strange. Trevor was still sulking over the subject of Vanessa and Max seemed lost in his thoughts.
Trevor became frustrated when he saw Max's worried face. He could not believe he could actually think about this woman that could have ruined their lives. He had had the fright of his life that day when he had seen Max, who always looked strong, so vulnerable. The pain his heart felt when he heard Max whimper and cry out in pain was so intense that all he wanted was for Vanessa to feel the same way, he even wish for her to be just dead.
Seeing Max worry about her really upset him. People thought Max was unkind and tough with his typical bad boy looks, stern face, thick body, and cold aura. They had the wrong impression that Max was the typical Dominant Alpha and rich kid, the type who was mischievous and a little bit evil. Only people who really knew him knew that this was just an illusion because in reality, the big, dominant alpha was a softie full of empathy. He did not like to use violence unless he really had to and could not stand to see others suffer, always putting himself in people shoes.
Trevor had discovered that side of him early on, having used it to get him to do what he wanted. Truth be told, he did not really like that side of Max and knew it would get him into trouble sometimes: too much kindness was not always good.
"If you don't stop right now, I swear you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight!" Trevor could not take it anymore, Max was getting on his nerves with his sad face for someone who deserved to have something happen to her.
"I didn't do anything baby... Why are you trying to punish me?"
"All you are thinking about is that stupid girl in my bed! If you are so desperate to know what might have happened to her, just call Sammy!" Trevor groaned! He really did not like that Max was actually thinking about Vanessa.
"I am sorry... I am just..."
"You are too kind for your own good sometimes! Being an Omega does not automatically make us vulnerable! Not all omegas need to be protected! Just because she's an Omega does not mean you should be so lenient! In fact, I am starting to worry about the future of Klayne Corp. if you don't change that side of yourself."
Max was a little taken aback. Was he really being too kind? It worried him just a little that something bad might happen to Vanessa. He just feared that she would end up in a desolate state that no one would want to be in, was he really being too lenient? It's not like he did not want her to be punished, he just did not want to use harsh methods.
"I am not as kind and emphatic as you said, and even if I was, why do you think that's a bad thing? A good leader has to be emphatic. It's good to understand the needs of others and be aware of their feelings and thoughts..."
"Yes, yes, yes... But why do you have to put yourself in that asshole's shoes? She's not a good person, Max! I do not want you to worry about something like that!"
"You do not have to... It's just that..."
"You were ruthless when you dealt with the man who tampered with my car, so why can't you be ruthless with someone who could have killed you... because she's a woman...? because she's an Omega...? let me tell you again, she has to pay for me, and pay the right price!"
Max had no clear answer to that question. It was true that he had not even thought for a second when dealing with this man, was it because he was too angry? This man had dared to hurt Trevor. That he would be punished was clear and Max was not squeamish with him, the man can't walk for the rest of his life, so why couldn't he be so harsh when this disgusting woman could have destroyed his relationship with his mate?
He thought about it for a bit and came to the conclusion that maybe Trevor was right. He tended to be more lenient with women but had she really deserved his grace for what she had done, the answer was no. He was still lost in his thoughts when his phone rang.
Since they had woken up, he had not taken the time to check his phone. They had been gone for two days, and so his phone was full of missed calls and unread messages.
He looked at Trevor, who was no longer paying attention to him and had buried his head in the covers. Max could only sigh before heading off to answer the call!
"Hey Sammy..."
"Thank god I can finally reach you! I was beginning to think you were dead!"
"Do not exaggerate! You could have come, you know the pin code of the house!"
"I did not want to witness anything I was not supposed to see in my life, big brother!!!"
"Well..." Max could only agree, no one was supposed to witness them going at it sensually and hard over their bodies for those two days.
"How's Trevor doing? You did not break him, did you? " Sammy teased, grinning into her phone.
"Like he would be that easy to break, look at how big he is!" Max scoffed as he thought of all the bruises he too had on his body. It was clear that Trevor didn't let him dominate him that easily; he was having more and more flashbacks of those nights by now and it was fucking intense!
"True, my friend is not the type to be broken so easily... But that day, he could have easily been broken and only by looking at you! It must be nice to be loved like that, I am so jealous!"
"What do you mean? What's happened? And what about Trevor being broken by looking at me?"
