THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 71 – 80

CHAPTER 74
Madam Caroline was at a spa, having her skin and nails tended to when she heard the reporter on the TV, placed in the VIP room.
Buy or renew your comprehensive motor insurance, we give you an incredible bonus – free fire insurance for your home.
[ “Famous actress Piper and the Superstar Actor, Brian who had gone missing for a week has been rescued. Both of them are in intensive care as Piper is terribly sick from the mistreatment she got from those people.
“There’s a speculation going around that the main cast of LOVE IS TIMELESS was kidnapped by rival companies to obstruct the movie’s scheduled promotional campaign.
“Even though some fans believe that we can’t come to that conclusion just yet. Let us know what you think after seeing the victims’ outcome” ]
A video of Piper, lying on the bed with tubes and Injections fixed on her was displayed on the TV.
Madam Caroline froze when she saw her daughter in such a horrible state. After a while, she relaxed and commanded:
“Hurry up, my daughter needs me,” with that, the ladies continued with her nails.
Madam Caroline believed that the people were making a mountain out of a molehill.
‘Is it not the entertainment industry? They are using everything including Piper’s health as a means to gather sympathy to promote their movies and make more money.’ she thought and snorted.
Yesterday, she called Feng Long and he assured her that Piper was fine, so what’s the fuss about?

Meanwhile, Jeslyn was in her company car, sleeping when she suddenly jolted awake with a teardrop trailing down her right cheek.
Her heartbeat was thumping faster than necessary. She sniffed and wiped her tears.
What was going on?
Yesterday she saw Brian getting his heart pierced by a knife taken from an idol.
Now, she dreamt that Brian is struggling to remain alive as the doctors are finding it difficult to keep him.
Why is her heart arching like she was the one in Brian’s place? Why?
“Turn around, take me to the hospital,” she instructed the driver.
“Miss, are you unwell?” her Assistant, a young lady with a small stature, asked.
“I’m fine,” Jeslyn replied and never said anything anymore.
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTER 71 – 80
Getting to Maverick’s hospital, Jeslyn approached the counter and asked the nurses there;
“Hi, please what room is Brian at… superstar Brian.”
The nurse smiled shyly, “Miss Jeslyn, I– I’m your fan.”
“Thank you,” Jeslyn smiled with her lips sealed. Her eyes were roaming everywhere looking for Brian.
“Who are you to him, Ma’am?” another nurse pushed the mesmerized fan nurse away and took her place.
“He–” Jeslyn paused. That’s right, who is he to her? “My senior… I saw the news that he’s here. I was close by, so I came to see him.”
The nurse nodded. “Let me see,” she started to search Brian’s information on the computer before she saw that he had been scheduled for surgery.
“I’m sorry, ma’am. Superstar Brian is in the operating theater,” the nurse replied.
“What is he doing there?” Jeslyn frowned.
“He had a gunshot wound that wasn’t treated. Although it was only a bullet grazing his abdomen, it needed proper care which it lacked. The wound is infected which caused built-in pus that required surgery to be taken care of.” Although Brian’s condition wasn’t stated clearly in the information visible to her, but from her experience and knowledge, she was sure of what the problem was.
Seeing the worry on Jeslyn’s face, she continued. “Don’t worry, if the surgery goes well, your senior will be fine,”
“Thank you,” Jeslyn nodded in appreciation. Just as she was about to leave, the fan nurse stretched out her book and pen. “Miss Jeslyn… your autograph, please,” she blushed.
Jeslyn took the pen and signed her autograph on the paper before smiling at the nurse and walking away.
She didn’t want to leave. She was desperate to see Brian.
While she was pacing back and forth, deliberating on what to do, Brian’s manager and Assistants rushed into the hospital, looking extremely worried and scared.
They rushed to the counter and after getting their response from the nurses there, they ran towards the operating theater.
Jeslyn followed them. Just when they got there, two nurses hurried out of the theater.
Brian’s assistants and Manager tried getting information from them but the two nurses were in haste.
Some moments later, they ran back into the theater.
In no time, a doctor came out and removed his mask. “Who is Brian’s relative?” he asked.
“We are,” the Manager got up from the bench and hurried to the doctor.
“Brian lost a lot of blood due to the operation. It seemed that he already had a shortage of blood for a while now. We got two pints of ‘O negative’ blood but that won’t be enough. We need three in case something unexpected happens.”
The Manager stays silent for a while. None of them has the same blood type as Brian.
“Give him those two first while we look for blood,” the Manager finally said.
The doctor nodded, “that can be done.” He said before going back in.
Jeslyn’s blood was also ‘O negative’ but she can’t donate it because of her condition. Also, she’s scared that the doctors might find out about her problem.
She returned home with Brian’s thoughts eating her mind.

*At the presidential Villa…*
The First Lady, a pretty young lady in her middle twenties was sitting with legs crossed in the sitting room, drinking juice and reading a fashion magazine when a maid hurried in and handed her a phone.
“Ma’am, a call for you,” the maid said respectfully.
The pretty Young Lady put down the magazine and took the phone.
“Hello,”
“You’re having a perfect life, it seems.” A cold female voice drifted from the other end.
“Sister!” the First Lady was startled and immediately bolted from her seat. She looked at the maid who looked shocked and waved her away.
“You have been ignoring my calls. Is being the First Lady that interesting?”
“N– no, sister… I’m sorry, I was –”
“Save the explanation. I know you mustn’t have seen the news. My son… nothing should happen to him.”
“Brian? What happened to Brian?” the First Lady panicked. If anything dares happen to Brian, she’d be dead.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The call ended just like that, without getting any answer.
The First Lady stared dumbly at her phone for a long time with fear gripping her heart before she snapped back to reality and immediately called Brian’s manager.
“Moon, what happened to my nephew?” She sounded anxious and uneasy.
“Ma, Brian got into an unfortunate incident. I can’t say what it was, only Brian can tell us what really happened but he’s in a coma right now.”
“What?! How dare you hide my nephew’s predicament from me?! Where is he right now?!”
“Ma, the doctor said Brian will wake up in three days. Please don’t come. You know Brian, he’ll fly into a rage if he knew you came, please.”
The First Lady sighed deeply. Right, Brian will get mad if she goes there. “What does he need? Is there anything the doctors are asking for?”
“Yes, Ma, the hospital needs another pint of blood for him. The doctor said it will be kept as a backup in case of emergency. ”
“Alright. I’ll get someone to send you five pints of blood. Don’t hesitate to inform me immediately if something comes up, please!” The First Lady said.
“Thank you, Ma.”
The First Lady put her phone down and fell limply on the couch. “What a close call,” she whispered.
“What happened? You look troubled,” a male voice, belonging to an old man, sounded from the door.
The First Lady was startled when she heard that voice. She patted her chest before glaring at him.
“You startled me,” she said to the old man.
“I didn’t mean to. What is making you uncomfortable?” The man asked.
“My nephew got into trouble and is lying in a coma at the hospital.”
“And your sister is angry?” he asked a rhetorical question as he walked to stand beside her.
The First Lady sighed in exasperation. “Yeah,” she said.
“Good that nothing bad happened to him. It would have been worse… by the way, I saw the news, which was why I came running back. He was kidnapped alongside that girl, Piper.”
“What?! That Piper again?! Doesn’t Brian hate her? Why were they together?!” She screamed in alarm.
“Take it easy, don’t be too excited, consider the state of our child.” The man tried to soothe her but she slapped his hand away in anger.
“Don’t tell me to calm down. I was threatened by my sister. She wouldn’t mind killing our child again if something happens to Brian.”
Like she remembered something, the first lady hugged her stomach as fear laced her face. “I– is she aware that I’m pregnant again?” She panicked.
“Please calm down, Luisa, you’ll hurt yourself and the child!”
Luisa nodded and tried to calm down, but tears were already gathering around her eyes due to the fear that her third child might be killed again.
“I killed the nurses and doctors that diagnosed your pregnancy. I also asked for some of your maids to be killed. At the moment, you’re safe. Soon, I’ll send you to a Countryside to live with some farmers. They are my people. That should buy us some time until we’re safe from your sister’s angst.”
“You are worthless! Aren’t you supposed to be the President of this Country?! I married you because I thought I could find shade in you from my sister, but look! You’re intending to send me to the slum to live?! Are you mad?” She got up and stood face-to-face with her husband.
“Listen here, I’m carrying your child! If you can’t exercise your power and dominance as the President of this Great Country M, then I think it is time you retire from office.” She looked at him disdainfully from head to toe and continued.
“You’re old anyway… you should be resting in a farmhouse. Rubbish!” She grabbed her phone, turned on her heels, and stormed out.
The President watched as his wife stormed off in anger and his intestines twisted in rage. He wasn’t angry at her but at himself for being worthless as she said.
How could a President be powerless in front of his subject? How could a woman hold him in a cuckold like this?
The President had called his brother-in-law a couple of times to report his wife to him and that man would dismiss him without a word. If the husband cannot handle his wife, what can he, a mere president do?
The old man took a deep breath before he summoned his guard into the sitting room.
“Look into what happened to Brian before his parents do. Whoever has a hand in it, send them behind bars and make sure they are sentenced to death.”
“Yes, Mr. President!” The guard bowed and left.
…

In less than 24 hours, the guard returned to the President and reported his finding.
“Young Master Brian was kidnapped by the Feng family’s Feng Gu.”
“Feng family again?!” The President roared in frustration. “Can’t they keep it low?!” He stayed silent to rile in his anger before he commanded.
“The Feng family went too far this time. Send my words to the old man. Feng Gu must not be made to become the Feng family’s heir. 50% of his power should be withdrawn and he would be sent to the organization’s disciplinary prison for three months to reflect on himself.”
“Yes, Mr. President!”
The President sighed. He hopes that what he has done to Feng Gu would be good enough to calm Brian’s mother.

Maverick arrived home to meet his wife curled up in bed.
He joined her but she didn’t move or look excited to see him.
“What is wrong?” He asked.
“I don’t know,” Jeslyn shook her head. “But I’m sad,” she concluded.
“Mn,” Maverick nodded and helped her to sit up. “I’ll understand, so explain as much as you can.”
Jeslyn glanced at his emotionless face and sighed. “It’s Brian,” she was still observing his face to see his reaction and like she expected, her husband raised an inquisitive brow.
“We aren’t doing anything funny… just that I’m quite attracted to his problems recently and I don’t know why,” she explained without much interest in talking. She just wanted to lie down in silence. Her mood was horrible and Maverick could feel it.
