Chapter 14: Damage Control

It had been ten months since Velma joined Aaron in his family home and has been six months since she started living with Abigail.

Aaron had watched both of them grow very close and it had been very hard for him.

He had tried multiple times to invite Velma to his room for a private conversation but she had either ignored his invitations or just rejected him.

So Aaron had just watched her boobs grow and her butt increase in the past six months without getting the opportunity to feel them up.

Yes, It was agonizing. But he was patient. So he transferred his pent up horniness into training and growing stronger. He was observing his daily sit-ups one morning when his wooden room door bursted open with a loud noise. He immediately paused and sharply turned his head towards the door expecting to see Abigail but he was wrong.

It was Velma, and she looked tensed.

So Aaron frowned in confusion.

’’What’s it Vel?’’

Velma took a quick uncomfortable glance outside the door and whispered loudly.

’’It’s Damien. He... He has seen me.’’

Aaron eyes widened for a moment, then he immediately jumped on his feet.

’’What! How??’’

Still tensed, Velma answered shakily.

’’I...I...I don’t know. He just opened the door and ran into me. Abigail is trying to talk to him but it’s not going well. Please... I need your help. He’s acting crazy. ’’

Aaron stared at her quietly with a blank expression. He had known this was going to happen and was even surprised it didn’t happen sooner. He knew it was impossible for Velma to stay for a whole year without running into Damien at some point. Despite her powers, she could be very clumsy and careless at times and Damien was highly perceptive.

In some ways, he was too much for her.

Aaron sighed quietly to himself.

’Such a hassle’

Without saying another word, he headed to his sister’s room. On getting there, he was greeted with the sight of Damien, fuming in frustration with a hint of betrayal in his eyes, and Abigail, kneeling on the ground with a pleading look.

Damien gave Aaron a brief look and asked:

’’How Long?’’

Aaron shrugged.

’’Roughly ten months.’’

Damien smiled bitterly and turned to Velma who was standing behind Aaron.

’’You Slut. I spent months looking for you not knowing you were frolicking with my siblings.’’

Velma looked away.

’’It’s not what you think.’’

Damien eyes widened in anger as he spat out loudly.

’’Not what I think?! You trained me, you told me you had big plans for me, then you just discard me after meeting my perverted crafty little brother!’’

’’Hey! That’s Rude’’ Aaron protested.

Velma whispered soothingly.

’’Please, you’re loud’’

Still on her knees, Abigail pleaded.

’’It’s not Aaron. It was me. I was the one she followed.’’

Damien looked down at her with a disgusted frown.

’’I’m not a fool Abigail. Stop trying too hard to protect him.’’

Abigail flinched and awkwardly looked away.

’’N...No I’m not.’’

’’Yes, you are Abigail. The lying is okay but the kneeling is a bit too much.’’ Aaron answered, deadpan. Abigail eyes widened a bit, but Aaron ignored her and turned to Damien.

’’She’s with me now. What do you plan to do?’’

Velma laughed dryly.

’’Don’t piss him off Aaron. You’re crossing the the line.’’

Damien, who was a head taller than Aaron, took a step towards Aaron and held his gaze threatingly.

"Report to Dad. He has to know he has been unknowingly feeding an extra mouth in the last ten months.’’

Aaron shrugged nonchalantly.

’’That’s implicating but weak.’’

Damien frowned.

’’Weak?’’

’’Yes. Weak.’’ Aaron answered. Then he smiled mischievously.

’’I on the other hand plan on taking you down with me by telling Dad you took her in first and had been using her to satisfy your sexual cravings before I saved her and took her to Abigail’s room instead.’’

Subconsciously, Damien, Abigail and Velma all frowned in disgust at Aaron’s statement.

Velma eyed Aaron intensely.

’’That’s not what happened.’’

Abigail tilted her head and said in a low doubtful tone.

’’Aren’t you the molester?’’

Damien frown deepened even more.

’’Dad would never believe such blatant lie.’’

Aaron’s smile widened.

’’Would you love to confirm?’’

Damien’s face twitched as his eyes darted around the room for a brief moment, then he clenched his fists and said chillingly.

’’You wouldn’t dare.’’

Aaron gave him a knowing look.

’’Try me, big brother.’’

Damien took a step back and let out a short laugh. He rubbed his face with his palm and said with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.

’’You crafty bastard. You think you are wise huh.’’

Then he took a step closer as his smile slowly disappeared completely from his face. Then glared threateningly at Aaron.

’’I promise you this, very soon, I’d break every bone in your body and watch you agonize in pain. Very Soon.’’

Aaron almost shuddered at his words but he controlled himself by looking nonchalant while praying loudly within himself that Damien doesn’t start a fight that might end up involving their parents.

Luckily for him, Damien did as he hoped. He took a quick hateful glance at each of them in the room, then he walked out.

After a seconds of stiff silence, Aaron breathed out loudly in relief. It was almost as if he had been unknowingly holding his breath.

’The Gods are on my side.’

Abigail stood up and rushed towards Aaron.

’’Aaron, why would you say such to Damien?’’

Aaron eyed quietly for a moment before turning around to leave her room.

’’Because it was the only way Abbie.’’
