THE LAST MINUTE GROOM : CHAPTERS 41 – 50
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 41
That was right. Maverick saw the way his parents lived. Thanks to them, lots of bad things happened to the family. He lost the dearest person in his life to domestic violence and a toxic relationship, so from then on, he made a vow to never allow his women to feel injustice. Even if he doesn’t love them, provided he picked them out to be his women, they would enjoy all that a loved wife enjoys, unless his heart and body.
“Oh… then my luck is still intact…hehehe,” Jeslyn giggled like a child. How many men still respect their wives and treat them like they are treasures? Marrying a man like Maverick wasn’t a bad deal for her after all.
He has Valen, a great body, fantastic in bed, caring and loving, and has a cute brother, wealthy, powerful, and mysterious. What else would she need in a man if not all that?
Love doesn’t matter anymore, the idiot she loved played her like dirt, so it seems her luck in love wasn’t that great. Hmmm, she can fill out the love and replace it with the kindness her husband was showing her. Hehehe…
Done putting on the shirt, Maverick instantly regretted it. The shirt stopped right below her butt. A little bend over would leave all her treasures exposed for everyone to see, but he can’t tell her to change into something else, after all, he gave it to her.
Jeslyn looked sexy in the black oversized shirt. She left a few buttons at the top open and made the neck an off-shoulder, totally forgetting the hickeys on her, or probably she did it for some reason.
Maverick’s eyes lingered on the hickeys he left on her before her happy voice pulled his mind from wandering.
“Perfect!” She smiled and raised her gaze to look at Maverick. “How do I look?”
With his right hand in his trousers pocket, he replied: “Your flight will be in three hours, you don’t have much time to waste.”
Jeslyn playfully rolled her eyes. Why did she expect him to say how she looked? Whatever. No matter what she wears, she’ll always be the beauty goddess of Rose City.
Jeslyn left the room after that, hoping to return to Valen’s room but on getting to the stairs, she saw the child walking towards her. She smiled brightly and happily called: “Valen, you are awake.”
The child ignored her and continued walking down with his usual poker face.
Jeslyn pouted. Did she do something wrong again?
On getting to him, she stretched her hand to touch him but he avoided it. Seeing this, Jeslyn narrowed her eyes and blocked his way.
“If you don’t tell me what I did, you are not going down,” She stated.
Valen looked at her from her smooth straight legs up to where his eyes could reach and gave her a disgusted look before he turned around and started heading back to his room.
Jeslyn’s mouth fell open as she stared at the little child’s lonely back. The look he gave her just now spoke of his displeasure but what had she done?
“Valen?” She called and started to hurry after him.
“Forget it, he won’t listen to you now,” Pink said from a couch in the sitting room.
Hearing that, Jeslyn went back and stood on the stair landing, overlooking the sitting room. “Sister Pink, do you have any idea why he’s like that?” Jeslyn sounded worried. These few days, she had seen that child slowly leaving his shell and welcoming her. She doesn’t want him to lose faith in her.
“Hai, don’t cause me trouble, call me Pink,” She corrected Jeslyn.
“Ok, please tell me what’s wrong with Valen.”
“Same as you, I have no idea. By the way, the shirt…looks good on you.” Pink praised weirdly.
“Everything looks good on me, but I don’t trust your compliment. I’ll ask you in a while, let me go and check up on Valen.” She went back to Valen’s door.
Standing by the door, she rang the bell a few times but they went unanswered. She sighed and started to bang on the door, “this stubborn child,” she murmured.

A while later, the door opened and Jeslyn got in. She stood by the door after closing it. “Valen, you shouldn’t behave like this anymore. I have been–”
“Do you need something?” He asked curtly with his back to her, shutting her up. After a while of not getting an answer, he continued, “I guess not,” he answered and turned to look at Jeslyn.
“What do you want?” He inquired with his hands folded on his chest.
Looking at his cute expression to his demeanor that was trying to portray a cold person, Jeslyn suddenly chuckled before she burst into a fit of laughter. She started to walk towards him while saying:
“Whatever is making you upset, you should tell me now so I can make things right before I leave.”
Valen whipped his head up. He was about to say something but he stopped and turned his face away.
Jeslyn squatted in front of him and held his shoulders. “Look, l –” she stopped talking when she saw his eyes were focused on her neck.
Jeslyn didn’t know what he was looking at and assumed he was staring at her like that because she was wearing his dad’s shirt.
“Hey,” she waved her palm over his view and finally caught his attention. “Are you still mad? Look, I won’t take your dad away, I’ll just be around him for–”
“Aren’t you leaving anymore? I have somewhere to be if you aren’t.” He cut her off again before he threw her hands off his shoulders.
Jeslyn watched the child walk away from her and sighed. “I guess we are back to square one,” she thought with a bitter smile on her lips before she got up and walked out of the room. Time was ticking and she needed to be at the airport soon.
…

Inside a car, Maverick’s mother could be seen looking at tons of Jeslyn’s pictures scattered on her lap.
“So, she’s actually a riffraff? A poor disgusting thing and her precious son? That’s impossible! Over my dead body!” She picked up her phone and made a call.
“Where is she?” She asked after the other person took the call.
“Oh, that’s interesting. Keep track on her and finish her off at any slight chance you get.” Maverick’s mother commanded before she put her phone down.
The woman picked up a picture of a laughing Jeslyn. She looked under-worldly, a fine product of beauty, a picture that could put a smile on anyone’s face, yet Maverick’s mother only felt more disgusted as her face twisted with hatred.

At the airport, Jeslyn decided to go with Pink’s choice of airline, bluehair F2220 as it was the supreme aircraft with the best service.
According to Pink, the airline is owned by Rex, but no one except a few knew that.
With the disguised Pink accompanying Jeslyn, the airport’s security and identification checks went smoothly.
Maverick had asked Jeslyn to take his private plane lying dormant in the bluehair’s airport but she refused.
A while later, Jeslyn could be seen entering the airplane’s first class with Pink walking behind her.
Inside the plane, a flight attendant welcomed them and directed them to their seats.
Refreshments were served and everything seemed to be alright. The plane took flight after a long while of taking in three hundred passengers.

After about thirty minutes of flying through the sky, a commotion broke out as the pilots tried to get the plane out of the way, but the incoming rocket was serious about achieving its aim.
“Boom!”
The long plane broke into two halves. Each flew opposite the other as the wind took control of them, sending them where it pleased.
Thick smog and raging inferno consumed the plane as the pilots lost control of the plane. While burning, the plane took control of itself and dived headfirst towards the forest.
In no time, the news of the plane crash appeared on TV and in media houses. Names of the passengers were being announced.
“News flash!
An aircraft F2220, owned and managed by bluehair Airlines, crashed into the ocean in the heart of mystery’s forest approximately thirty minutes after leaving bluehair’s airport in Country M and headed towards Country A, dated 20th of October, 20XX. The thirty crew members and three hundred passengers were killed. The cause of destruction was a rocket.
Victims of this unfortunate incident are listed according to their boarding classes and a message was sent to their family members.
Our sincere condolences to the families of the victims.
This news is reported by Sharon Milestone, BFC news, channel 05.”
Inside a black car traveling on the busy roads of Country M, Maverick stared at the message he received while listening to the news on his car’s radio.
The suffocation in the car became so intense that Code 10 and Code 2 almost couldn’t breathe anymore.
Maverick dialed Jeslyn’s number but it wasn’t going through. He called Pink but got the same response.

At the Lu residence, Valen stared dumbly at the flat screen on the wall, showing how the plane crashed into the sea.
For some reason, a bystander was making videos showing how the plane was broken into two and how the plane crashed into the sea.
Valen blinked for a few minutes before he picked up his phone and made a call. After one ring, the call was answered.
“Dad, what happened to Jeslyn? F2220 was her flight, right?”
“Hmm,”
“Why did you allow her to take a public plane?” Valen raised his voice a little above normal. His face was drained of color, and his breathing quickened but the child still looked composed even though he was on the verge of tearing down something.
“She’s stubborn,”
“Dad, go and look for Jeslyn and bring her back.” Valen controlled his anger until he put his phone down.
Valen picked up a vase placed on the center table and hurled it at the TV.
“Bang!” The three-hundred-inch TV in the sitting room was shattered to convey how angry Valen was.
“Jeslyn, I dare you to die,” he murmured as his eyes slowly turned red with sparkles of tears in them.
Meanwhile, Maverick’s mother saw the news and couldn’t stop laughing. “Should I call this a coincidence? Or is the universe on my side? Hahaha… they have always been. I didn’t need to do anything before Jeslyn was swept out of the way. Impressive, very impressive… hahaha…”
“Mom, what have you done this time? You only get this excited if you have done something sinful.” Piper walked down the stairs looking hot in her white high waist pleated skirt that stopped just a few inches below her butt, a handless black crop top, and a white jacket she held in one hand. Her hair was let down and her face was caked with thick makeup, giving her a seductress’s vibe.

A lady dressed in a blue business suit with her hair made into a ponytail was walking behind her while holding Piper’s white handbag.
“Oh child, how could you say that? Your mother is just in a good mood. Hahaha…” her mother before she laughed again.
“If you say so, but I hope you are not helping that stupid Mulan get close to my brother. Mother, I’ll never accept that bitch as my brother’s wife. I don’t know how many times I’ll tell you that.”
“Mulan had always been my second choice but since she already disqualified herself by making your brother throw her out, she’s also out of my list, so don’t worry about her.”
“Really?” Piper raised a brow. “Fine then, so what’s your excitement all about?”
“It’s nothing big, the universe got rid of your brother’s wife and now he’s single again. Hahaha…”
“Oh? The universe or you?” Piper stared at her mother with suspicions in her eyes.
“Don’t think so lowly of me.” The mother hissed.
“Do you blame me? Not like you aren’t capable of squashing the life out of anyone you don’t agree with.” Piper rolled her eyes.
“Thanks for the compliment. You are starting to take after me, so I can also say that to you, child.” The mother smirked.
“Thanks, Mom, I love to hear things like that. I’ll leave now, I’m late for my shoot, bye… love youuu.” Piper blew a kiss to her mother before she left.
However, after leaving, a smirk played at the corner of her lips while staring at the number she just dialed.
After a few rings, the call got connected and Piper chuckled like a demon before she spoke.
“Congratulations, but you still can’t be with him.”
