THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTER 81 – THE END OF SEASON 2
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 88
“You ruined VJ Cute’s dreams just because you couldn’t get rid of your jealousy for Jeslyn. Even though you are getting more than you deserve, you still aren’t satisfied!
“Now, Jeslyn is finally out of the picture! You killed her! What else are you not satisfied with?! Do you want to kill her spirit too?!!!!”
“Paaah!!” Christine sent a resounding slap across Assistant Miles’ face. “How dare you talk to me like this? Who do you think you are to remind me of my status–”
“Was I wrong? Your parents were married, yet wanted Jeslyn’s mother’s wealth and for that, your father went in pursuit of Jeslyn’s mother. After he got her and Jeslyn’s mother had Jeslyn, your pathetic father went to his first wife and they had you!
“Your greedy parents then sent you after Jeslyn’s mother, who thought you were an orphan and she adopted you. What? Why do you look shocked? You think I wouldn’t find out?” Assistant Miles laughed and started walking around the dressing room while talking.
“You lived as an adopted child whom your father pretended to hate. Jeslyn and her mother did everything to make you happy. Poor things… If only they knew how evil you and your family were.
“Even though your plans took so long, it still worked and you cheated Jeslyn out of her property after killing her grandfather… You should be ashamed of yourself!” Assistant Miles grabbed Christine’s chin and threatened.
“The next time you treat me like trash, I will tell the world what you have done, got that?!” She shoved Christine, making her fall to the floor.
“I have killed more people than you ever would and if you think I would allow you to ride me like a horse, then you’re mistaken. From now on, I won’t give you that privilege to treat me anyhow you want, ever again.”
Outside the door, VJ Cute curled her lips into a dazzling smile as she kept away her phone.
“How am I so lucky? I guess my mouth is only for kissing, singing, and acting cute. I don’t need to use it to defend myself. Hahahaha…” She turned and left.

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTER 81 – THE END OF SEASON 2
Before going on stage, Christine tried to call Young Master Wu one more time but he didn’t pick up. She had been trying for days now without being able to reach him.
“Is he tired of me and has started avoiding me?” She mumbled.
On the stage, Christine stood there, watching the audience as they cheered her name. She couldn’t fake a smile like she always did because she was having weird feelings about everything going on.
First, it was Assistant Miles who threatened to expose her. Even though she thought that Assistant Miles was just bluffing and wouldn’t dare to touch her when Emilee is still alive, it was still something worth thinking about.
Assistant Miles wouldn’t want to be her open enemy unless she had a backup or was planning something big. She can’t know what Assistant Miles is planning unless she finds it out and that can only happen after her performance.
Her second problem was Young Master Wu. The idiot hasn’t been picking up her calls nor has he called her for almost four days now. He didn’t even tell her if Jeslyn was dead or not!
The thought of whether Jeslyn was dead has built anxiety within her and it has been the culprit for her lashing out earlier.
If anything goes wrong and her sister catches on that she had asked for Jeslyn to be kidnapped and killed, she’ll be in big trouble.
Maybe it was because of these reasons that she has been having weird feelings since the beginning of today.
Christine snapped back to reality when the lights on the stage went off. Christine and the dancers’ costumes started sparkling against the colorful background light that was coming from the flat screen on the stage as they took their positions.
Screams from the audience died down as Christine adjusted her headset and the background instrumental music started.
¶
Forever young
Forever young, we rock the earth
We rock the men
We rock the land, the sky, the sea
We give them love
They bring us the cash
They call us gold diggers
Because we love good things
They call who*es
Because we pay with our body
What do we care
What do I care
What do you care
We shouldn’t care
What they say doesn’t matter
We shouldn’t give a f*ck
Because we are forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Cause I’ll be forever young….
But it’s a pity–
¶
Christine’s Voice died down when she saw that the crowd that was singing along with her and vibing to the song a while ago had stopped and were all staring at her weirdly.
She looked around and also saw that the dancers were equally shocked.
Still wondering what was going on, she then realized that the music had stopped. Only her vocal was what everyone had been listening to.
“Chr– Christine? What is wrong with your voice?” One of the dancers asked.
“M–my voice? What is wrong with my voice?” she started touching her neck in panic.
Meanwhile, the fans watching the live show couldn’t believe their ears the same way none of the audience could understand what they just heard.
Christine’s Voice was not only horrible to listen to, it was a total mess from what they knew.
To be fair, her voice wasn’t that bad but compared to the voice they all knew (VJ Cute’s voice), Christine’s real voice was painful to listen to.
‘What did I just hear? Hahahaha… the almighty Christine is a fraud!’ Someone broke the silence on the internet.
‘Hahahaha… Jeslyn is my bias! Jeslyn all the way!’
‘Our Jeslyn doesn’t need to cheat people to prove she’s the best.’
‘Hold on, what is going on? Are y’all telling me that Christine or VJ Cute faked her voice?’
‘No, I think Christine was lip-syncing.’
‘Then what about VJ Cute?’
‘You guys are so hateful! Why can’t y’all leave Christine alone? How could you accuse her like that? We agree that her music went off while she was singing and so, her vocals were heard but still, can’t you guys Just give her the benefit of the doubt? What if she got a sore throat or something?!’
‘I agree!’
From the comment section, it was obvious that those who commented first were Christine’s haters and those who came later on to defend her were her fans.
The comment section tore in three. One part for Christine’s fans, one part for Jeslyn’s fans who were undoubtedly Christine’s haters, and the last part for bystanders who refused to be manipulated by both parties and wanted to make their own decision after hearing Christine’s voice again.
The same thing was being thought about by the audience as they sat on their seats with half their minds thinking that Christine wasn’t VJ Cute while the other half was telling them that Christine wasn’t feeling well, after all, she wasn’t looking too good on the stage either.
The fans all stood up and started waving their light bombs to encourage and support her. Some raised their placards while others shielded their mouths and started singing the song loudly.
Seeing the great support from her fans, a normal person would burst into tears of gratitude, but Christine wasn’t such a person. Indeed she was crying but it was tears of hatred!
She hated the fact that VJ Cute was the one being praised and not her. She hated that she was nothing in front of VJ Cute. Just now, her voice was heard but everyone had disappointed and angry looks on their faces, but now, they seem very happy while chanting VJ Cute’s name like she was their ancestor!
While Christine was thinking that, her Manager immediately ran backstage. If VJ Cute was someone he could beat, he would have done so immediately but she’s not to be messed with.
“What do you think you’re doing? Do you want to expose us?!” he thundered.
“Manager Richard, what are you talking about?” VJ Cute asked meekly, startling Richard.
What is wrong with this lady? He thought. VJ Cute has never spoken to him with a weak voice before. Every time, they were either fighting or avoiding each other. Why was VJ Cute acting like he was bullying her?
Even though Manager Richard wasn’t sure of what was happening, he never thought VJ Cute was planning anything harmful because, first of all, she was under a contract. Secondly, she was given some shares. Thirdly, she wouldn’t want to offend Young Master Wu, nor would she dare to harm Christine’s reputation considering who Christine’s sister was.
With all of that in mind, Manager Richard shifted VJ Cute’s new persona to the back of his mind and started to question her.
“Why did you go off? Do you intend to expose Christine? You were paid to do this, so you should!” he yelled.
“I– I’m… I’m so sorry, Manager Richard. I… I know that you need my voice for the All–time best Manager Award. I didn’t mean to interrupt the song, I… I was feeling stomach cramps. I… I told Christine before now but she still forced me here. You know…” she lowered her voice and continued, “I’m a woman.”
Manager Richard continued to stare foolishly at VJ Cute. He couldn’t believe that the young arrogant and saucy lady could be this soft-spoken and nice. Remembering what she said that she was a woman and was having stomach cramps, he understood it to be that she was on her period.
No wonder she’s this calm and peaceful! He thought.
With that conclusion in mind, he also tuned down his voice a little and said, “Don’t ruin the show. Finish it on time and leave.” With that said, he turned and walked out.
VJ Cute curled her lips into a sneer as she watched his back leave through the side door. A chuckle escaped her throat before she grabbed the mic to start singing.
She wasn’t wearing a nose mask but was wearing a skin mask, which was why nobody connected her to Jeslyn.
On the stage, the music started playing again and everyone quieted down. Just when Christine was about to hit a high note, the music stopped again.
Christine couldn’t stop abruptly as VJ Cute, so her voice became the last that everyone heard one more time.
While everyone was in an uproar, VJ Cute’s ring was glowing red. It was the glowing of her ring that interrupted her singing the second time. The first time was her own doing but this time, she was startled.
She thought the glowing ring would stop after a second or two but no!
Not only was the glow taking longer than usual, it was glowing so bright that it seeped through the curtains on the stage and overshadowed the light coming from the screen.
Not only that, the light coming from the flat screen went out completely, causing only the glow from Jeslyn’s ring to become the source of light for everyone. But the red light looked more sinister than normal red lights.
The audience who were about to condemn Christine shifted their attention to the attention-grabbing light that had started to slowly fade away.
Even Christine was dazed at what she saw.
The event lasted for just ten seconds but it felt as if it happened for eternity.
After the glow disappeared, the light from the screen appeared again but the audience no longer cared about Christine and the stage. They all wanted to know what and who was behind the curtains.
“Someone is behind the curtains! Come out! Who is behind the curtains, come out!!” Someone cried out from below the stage.
In no time, almost everyone who was there for Christine wanted to see who was behind the curtains.
Those online were typing furiously, they also wanted to know.
‘Someone should go in there and pull that person out! I’m sure the person is connected to what is happening to VJ Cute.’
‘My problem is, what is that glow? It looked beautifully evil.’
‘It is evil because Christine is evil.’
