THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 71 – 80
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 77
Mr. Wales felt his life was ending. He was so mad that he simply couldn’t find the best words to say to this daughter, so he stayed silent instead.
“Father, have you gone mute?” she feigned panic. “Code 2, it seems my father has suddenly gone mute, can you help me pry his mouth open and force him to talk to me?”
“Jeslyn!! You cursed child, I’m your father!!!” The man roared.
“Are you?” Jeslyn raised a brow. Seeing he didn’t respond, she chuckled. “I thought as much.”
“What did you come here for?” Mr. Wales fumed.
“Code 2, help him to his seat. I don’t want people to think I’m bullying my father,” she placed her elbow on the table and supported her chin with her palm.
She looked bored and tired.
“Mr. Wales, how does it feel being behind bars? How are your inmates treating you? Do you receive enough beating?…” Jeslyn scrutinized her father for a while and drew in air through her teeth, then shook her head before she continued.
“I don’t see much injuries on you… to be honest Father, I never thought you could stay this long in jail. I thought you would have long died from harassment and bullying. Good thing you didn’t–” Jeslyn was interrupted by her father.
“I should have made sure you died before leaving the hospital on the day you were born. I regret not burying you alive when I found out you didn’t die,” he said through gritted teeth as his eyes spat raging flames.
“Wh– what are you talking about?” Jeslyn frowned.
“What? You thought I was indeed your father?” Seeing Jeslyn’s confused expression, Mr. Wales burst into a pile of annoying and victorious laughter.
“Why do you think I hated your slutty mother?! Hahahaha…” Mr. Wales laughed for a long time before he burst into tears and covered his face with his palms.
Jeslyn looked behind her in a daze, she nodded her head ever so slightly at Code 5; an indication for him to leave the room.
Code 5 bowed before leaving.
Left alone with her father, Jeslyn drew closer to the table and asked with a thumping heart. She was shocked that Mr. Wales was crying but she didn’t want to care about that.
“Mr. Wales, wh– what do you mean you’re not my father? Who is my biological father?”
The man ignored her and continued to moan whatever was eating his heart.
“Talk to me, who the hell is my father?!!!” Jeslyn screamed.
“I don’t know!!! Go ask that wh*re you call a mother!!”, He also responded with the same fierce energy.
Mr. Wales was angry, and so was Jeslyn who was having mixed feelings of anxiety, fear, disbelief, and hatred.

Meanwhile, Pink had returned to the house and had gone to see Maverick in his study room.
“Where is my daughter?” She asked while standing in front of his desk.
Without raising his head from reading his novel, Maverick responded, “went to find out the truth you refused to tell her,” he replied slowly without interest.
“Wh– what?! Why did you allow her to leave?!” She yelled in frustration.
Maverick slowly raised his eyes to stare at her.
“I’m sorry,” she apologized.
“I hate to get involved in things like this, however, my wife is suffering and it’s your fault. Alex, I give you three days…” he returned his gaze to the book in silence, flipped a page and continued with his eyes still on what he was reading.
“… If my wife returns to me without knowing the whole truth about herself…” he looked at her and laid back to rest his back on the chair, “I’ll make you suffer more than her.” He enunciated slowly and quietly.
“Boss, Jeslyn is my daughter and you’re her husband, which makes you my son-in-law. You’ll be hurting her more if you kill me.” Pink said with a cold face.
“Kill you?” Maverick shook his head, “You’ll suffer but won’t die.” He got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He tucked his hands into his trousers pocket as he stared at the city in front of him.
“My wife has gone through a lot. You betrayed her as a mother and caused her much pain and still don’t intend to correct your mistakes because you’re scared.” He curled his lips and turned to look at her. “Do you still think you deserve the mother-in-law title?” He asked her.
Pink lowered her head and bit her bottom lip.
“Your grandson treats you like his subordinate. Aren’t you feeling degraded or sad?” Maverick lowered his gaze to the ring he was wearing on his ring finger. “I don’t care what you wish to do afterwards. I’m warning you for the last time, tell my wife everything, else I’ll ruin your chances of being with her… forever!”
With that said, Maverick turned to look out the floor-to-ceiling window in silence.
He talked way more than he usually does and that was to let Pink know how important this matter was.
“Thank you, boss, I’ll leave for Rose City right now”. She bowed before leaving his study room.

*Rose City…*
Jeslyn was in her room at the glass house, lying on her bed as she thought about what her father said in prison.
“I don’t know!!! Go ask that wh*re you call a mother!!” He also responded with the same fierce energy.
“I loved that woman, I love–”
“Shut up!! You liar! You never loved my mother, you only married her for her wealth!!”
Mr Wales shook his head fiercely, “That’s not true! I loved your mother so much that I wanted to divorce Bella. But your mother betrayed me when she lied that you were my daughter!
“I was very excited when she told me she was pregnant, only for me to find out you were not my daughter! Your mother was cheating on me and got pregnant for her boyfriend!!!!” He screamed

*Presently in Jeslyn’s room…*
Jeslyn took a deep breath and wiped the tears from her face. Staring at her mother’s picture, she brushed her fingers over the stoic face that was staring back at her.
“Mom, what is happening?” She choked on her tears. “Why is your husband saying these things? Who is my biological father?…
“Mom, Mr. Wales refused to tell me everything! What should I do now?
“Grandpa, why is everyone taking advantage of me and treating me like this? Why do I always get betrayed? Why have I been living in lies?! Why me?!!!” She slumped on her bed.
“Christine betrayed me for money, Ray deceived me, Grandpa, you left me, and now, my parents have been lying to me for 26 years. Who knows, I might suddenly fall sick tonight and die tomorrow due to ATOM. Grandpa…” she paused, “I’m emotionally exhausted. I can’t take this anymore,” silent tears trailed down her cheeks.
A drop of tear fell on the rainborite stone engraved in her ring and in no time, a dazzling green light shone brightly from it and enveloped Jeslyn for about ten seconds before the light went back into the stone that was still emitting a glow of other colors.
Jeslyn’s tears immediately ceased coming as she felt warmth coursed through her body, massaged her organs, and sent calm into her mind.
Her body felt relaxed and her heavy heart felt sudden peace. She soon started to feel dizzy. She opened the covers, got in and pulled the covers over herself before she fell into a deep sleep.

*The next morning…*
Jeslyn woke up feeling energized and happy. If not that her memory was intact, one would have thought that what happened yesterday never occurred because Jeslyn seemed really happy this morning.
What happened with the ring last night was so phenomenal that she intended to keep it a secret, unless she got back to Country M and told her husband about it.
But for now, she has other matters to attend to.
After Jeslyn was done with her morning routine, she got dressed in a nude knee–length gown, black heels, a nude handbag, black shades, and a black hat– ready to head out again.

*At the Prison…*
Mr. Wales was brought out of his cell again to see Jeslyn. Even when he didn’t want to, he had no choice as he was literally dragged to the visitor’s room.
“What do you want this time?” He asked with a glare.
“I thought about what you said yesterday. Although, I didn’t doubt it much because the way you’ve treated me all those years already told me how much you hated my guts. So, I’m here to seek the truth and know how everything happened. In return, I’ll grant you freedom–” She raised her palm to stop him from interrupting her.
“… I’ll also get your company back for you. That’s a good deal, right?” Jeslyn stared at him.
Mr. Wales gazed at her for a long time before he went to sit on his seat.
“I don’t need anything from you. I just hope you’ll be lenient on your sisters,” he said.
“When you said ‘lenient,’ you mean, I should give them a quick death?” Jeslyn squinted her eyes at him.
“Jeslyn! How can you conceal the idea to kill your sisters?!”
“Mr. Wales, please let’s not be hypocritical, it’s too late for that… Just yesterday, you told me you weren’t my father. Didn’t that mean that your daughters aren’t my sisters?” Jeslyn arched her brow.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and voiced out, “That’s the only payment I’m willing to exchange for the information you’re asking for; the safety of my daughters.”
“Hahaha… Mr. Wales, don’t flatter yourself. Do you seriously think I’d let you go after you’ve made it known to me that you know something about my true identity? Don’t be delusional.”
“What do you intend to do to my daughters and I?” Mr. Wales’ heart was already trembling in fear but still tried to look and sound fearless. He might not be scared of Jeslyn because he watched her grow to become the lady that she had become, but he was undoubtedly scared of Jeslyn’s husband and the guards she brought along.
For some reason, Mr. Wales believes that Jeslyn doesn’t have the heart to kill him.
“How about we make that a secret?”
“Do you really intend to kill your siblings?” He asked again for confirmation.
Jeslyn nodded fervently like he wouldn’t understand her stance if she didn’t make it very obvious.
“Then, I’ll take the first offer,” he proclaimed.
“Good choice”, Jeslyn beamed annoyingly.
‘Give him back his business? Ha, if I don’t end you in this jail, then you should be grateful’, Jeslyn thought to herself.
Mr. Wales leaned forward and got lost in his memories.

*Years back…*
Mr. Wales was seen hugging Alice with excitement written all over his face.
“I can’t believe this, wife. We’ll be having our first child soon! You’ve made me proud, I’ll forever love and cherish you!”
Alice smiled faintly while in his strong embrace.
The next day, Mr. Wales went to work, but on his way back, he intended to stop at Bella’s house to break up with her but fortunately, a few luxurious cars overtook his car and blocked his path.
A few men in black got out of the cars, walked up to Mr. Wale’s car and threatened him to come down with machine guns in hand.
One of the unknown gunmen slapped Mr. Wales at the back of his neck and forced him to start walking to one of the cars parked in the middle of the entourage cars.
Mr. Wales knew that he hadn’t offended anyone with such great power and also, thanks to Alice, he knew all the big shots in Country G, but these people, he had no idea who they were.
Getting to the tilted car in the middle, one of the gunmen kicked Mr. Wales’ knees, prompting him to fall to his knees.
“Bow your head, you’re unfit to stare at my master!” One of the gunmen thundered.
Scared out of his wits, Mr. Wales immediately prostrated flatly on the quiet street.
The car door was pushed open and a leg wearing a black leather ladies’ ankle boots stepped on Mr. Wale’s fingers with the pencil heels.
Mr. Wales took in a sharp breath. He didn’t dare to scream out loud even though the pain was enough to make him scream out his organs.
“Worthless man,” the sweet voice of a lady drifted into his ears.
Mr. Wales didn’t dare to raise his head from the ground to see who this person was, but from her delicate and sharp voice, he knew she wasn’t one to be messed with.
