CHAPTER 65

*Two months later…*

At the hostel, Jeslyn arrived from lesson, feeling drained. The hostel couldn’t be said to be a hostel. It was a condominium. Every student has their own apartment which includes three rooms with three bathrooms, a sitting room, a kitchen, and a dining room. It also has a balcony where the city could be viewed.

If Celestine Xuan could call a glass house condominium a hostel, then what would she call a hostel if she sees one?

Jeslyn entered the bathroom to shower and when she came out, her phone was ringing. She answered the call after seeing the ID.

“Yes,” she rolled her eyes after hearing what he said.

“Mr. Maverick, I already sent you the terms of the contract. You can’t come and I can’t leave. Our visitor’s day just ended yesterday. Instead of you, Rex came, so what can I do?”

Jeslyn smiled when she heard what he said. “There’ll be a week’s break next month. You can come pick me up. I want to visit Valen.”

It’s been two months since lessons started and they were used to the rules by now but Maverick was never used to it. Every day, he calls to pester Jeslyn but Jeslyn was hellbent on following rules.

For two months and two weeks, Jeslyn and Maverick haven’t seen each other and the man was about to expel Celestine Xuan from Country Y for intentionally torturing him. However, knowing that if he did anything and Jeslyn found out, she would get mad like she did with Piper’s case.

Remembering that day, Maverick’s eyes grew dark. He knew Vera was the reason Jeslyn found out and for that, he had locked Vera in her room for two months, seized her phone, and only made the kitchen prepare her one type of meal…Tasteless vegetable.

Maverick put his phone away with his lips thinned. She wants to see Valen. He narrowed his eyes before standing up and heading out of his room.

Walking past the first floor where Vera’s room was located, Maverick glanced at the door but didn’t stop. Walking down the stairs, the butler hurried forward and bowed.

“Master, Miss Vera refused to eat for two days.”

“She’s not hungry.” He stated and continued to head down.

The Butler, an old man, sighed and shook his head before ordering some maids to bring food to Vera.

Inside Vera’s room, she could be seen sitting by the side of her queen-sized bed, hugging her knees. She looked disheveled with huge dark circles. It appeared that she hasn’t slept for days.

When she heard the click of the door, she jolted but seeing it was the Butler and some maids, she relaxed.

“I told you I’m not eating.” She said in a weak voice.

“Miss, don’t make the mistake of thinking you mean much to Master. You did wrong by leaving little Master Valen in the hospital and running away. If you think that Master will be gentle with you like he used to, then your fantasy is clap-worthy. If you don’t eat, then you might not be alive to see little Master Valen wake up from a coma to make amends.” With that, the butler ordered the maid to put the food down and leave.

After they left, Vera stared at the vegetable and bit her lip. ‘Endure for a little longer, you’ll be released soon.’ she told herself and started to force the ‘meal’ down her throat with tears in her eyes.

Outside the car, Pink, who was sitting in the front passenger seat with Code Two driving the car, cleared her throat and said, “Master, I’m afraid Miss Vera might die.”

“So?”

“Shouldn’t she be let out?”

“Why?”

“She’s still Valen’s mother.”

“And?”

Pink sighed, “Jeslyn will not be happy if anything happens to Valen’s mother.”

“Will you tell her?” Maverick cocked a brow.

“No…”

“Good.”

“But she…”

“No buts… Pink!”

“Yes, boss.”

Silence dominated the car until about ten minutes before Maverick broke the silence.

“Has the goods arrived?”

“Code Ten went to the coast to await their arrival,” Pink answered.

“How are you girls doing? Have they completed the task?”

“Yellow was doing better until you called for her. Blue is leading the team now and the field is being cultivated for the plant.” She reported.

“What about the Yu family’s field?”

“My girl said they will be harvesting the plant next week.”

“How big is it?”

“My girl wasn’t sure, but she said It’s around 8000– 10000 hectares.”

Maverick curled his lips and without further ado, he ordered, “Burn it.”

“Yes, boss.”

“What is the Xu family’s new project?” Maverick asked.

“They are rebuilding the drug companies we destroyed last year.”

“How far have they gone?”

“In three months, they’ll finish rebuilding. Six months from now, they’ll stock the companies and restart their operation.”

“The night before their ribbon cutting, bring the companies to shambles .”

“Yes, boss.”
“The Chen family in Rose City… is too peaceful.”

Pink gave a sinister smile before she responded. “Yes, Boss. However, I’d like to end her myself.”

Maverick stared at her back for a while and replied, “Hmm.”

The black car drove through the City with Maverick delegating tasks.

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM : CHAPTERS 61 – 70

Meanwhile, Damien was also delegating tasks from his hideout through the phone.

“I don’t trust Chaos’ silence. I suspect he has something planned. Protect my establishment with your lives. If anything goes wrong with the harvesting of my weed farm, kill yourself and your families, else, you’ll wish you were dead. As for Davis, jeopardize his contract with the organization for attacking my ship.”

Even after the call, Damien couldn’t relax. His gut feeling was telling him that Maverick would give him a massive blow to his weak spot this time, but he couldn’t put his fingers on it, until the harvest day.

It was a fine day like every other peaceful day at the field, however, the difference was that this day would be hectic for the workers because they would start harvesting the weed soon.

Although they would be harvesting, it wasn’t everything because there were areas with young weeds that weren’t ready for harvest yet, so such weeds need daily treatment. This was why nobody cared about the agricultural aircraft flying around the whole farm, spraying chemicals on the weeds.

However, where someone started to smell something fishy was when he spotted the planes spraying the area that would soon be harvested. The man furrowed his brows, ready to make a call when the planes suddenly turned and left in sync. Before he could blink, he heard the air making hissing sounds as an object cut through the it, rushing towards the house he was standing in.

The man was standing on the balcony of a glass house on one side of the huge field. The glasshouse was a ten-story building, housing tens of thousands of workers.

The man tried to scream but the shock of watching that dreaded thing flying towards him at an unbelievable speed, didn’t allow him to utter a word.

Right before his eyes, the bomb pierced through his stomach, and a loud “boom!” Was heard.

The glass house shattered into nothingness. Other bombs flew into the field. The minute they exploded, the fire that was ignited shook hands with the petroleum sprayed on the field and they formed an inferno, dancing around the fields in glee.

The once beautiful field was now consumed with a firestorm that licked everything around it as it spread around the field without reserve.

Pink glanced at her work from the plane she was in and curled her red lips into a wicked smile.

“Yu, this is just the beginning.” She murmured as her eyes turned murderous.
…

Damien puked blood when he received the news. This bow was the greatest blow Maverick has ever given him. Even when he challenges Maverick, he has never retaliated this way. This one was way too much for Damien to swallow.

“Ahhhh!” He roared to the sky with blood dripping from his jaw. His cunning eyes were spitting fury. This is injustice. He hasn’t done anything to warrant this. He has not offended Maverick to the extent of him destroying him like this.

“Maverick!!!!!” He thundered. “You have beaten the drum of war!!!”

At that moment, his phone rang and he hurriedly answered it without looking at the ID.

“You like it?”

“Chaos!!”

“That’s good.”

“Chaos, you have bitten more than you can chew!!”

“That’s impressive. However, your teeth fell off and you couldn’t even bite what you could chew.”

“Our friendship ends today! You have… ”

“Was there ever a friendship? Damien Yu, come out of hiding. In three days, if I don’t see you back in Country M, your refinery, your drug companies, and your human trafficking agencies, will be the next to fall.”

“CHAOS!!!!!”

“Beep. Beep. Beep!”

“F*ck!”

“Bang!”

He threw his phone against the wall and the phone bounced off without shattering. He gritted his teeth so much that his gum started to bleed. Nobody would understand his pain and agony. The money he just lost on that farm was more than enough to buy the top Country in the world.

However, he doesn’t own all the money. There are shareholders and outside factors he needed to divide the profit with, like the Dark Age organization.

Those people owned 50% of the profit, Damien would also give out 15% to the shareholders and the rest was supposed to be his but now, not only did he not get anything, the organization got nothing too. Forget the shareholders, he has a way of always shutting them up, but not the organization.

While he was still thinking, his phone rang again. He picked up the unknown call and the most frightening voice he had ever heard in his life drifted into his ear.

He jolted because he wasn’t expecting them to call him so soon.

“You have become complacent. You are given one week to remedy this loss, else your position will be given to your twin brother.”

“You dare not!” Damien thundered. How dare he say that? He had worked his ass off for these insatiable beasts. He had schemed and ruined so many lives just to please them, yet they aren’t satisfied. Only a little slip and they are already teaming up against him.

“Tell me that again next week.” The person dropped the call after that.

Damien’s wrath could be felt around the room. That was when Emilee walked in, dressed in lingerie.

Looking at the sexy lady, Damien’s anger flared. Like a beast, he pounced on her and took her without foreplay, or gently.

Emilee clenched her fists with her brows slightly creased. This was one of the things she and Doris are by his side for. They are mainly used as his calming pills.

When Damien is angry, the only thing that calms him down is when he has s3x with either of them. It has to be a dry s3x where the lady would cry in pain. It gives Damien a weird sense of belonging, making him believe that he was not the only one always in pain.

When he first started, the girls used to cry but now, they are like logs of wood, just like Emilee who was lying on the floor, naked.

She didn’t show any sign of enjoyment and pain, except for the slight discomfort reaction on her face.

He was going in and out of her with so much force without caring if she would be wounded. Seeing she was not showing him what he wanted to see, he grabbed her by the neck, choking her until Emilee started to gasp for air.

The scene was so disturbing that immediately after he was done, Emilee unceremoniously pushed him off, picked up her undies and tried to leave with shaky legs.

This was not the first time they had done things like this, but this was the first time he tried to kill her. She saw that murderous look in his eyes and if she hadn’t yelped, moaned, and whimpered, he would have ended her life right there.
