THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 11 – 20
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 12
“Ms. Rossa, are you into a relationship?” He asked.
“Don’t care about my personal life too much.” Jeslyn replied.
Mr. Stanley spun her around but before he could grab her, someone else did.
“I would like a dance with this elegant lady,” Judge said with a half smile. Stanley wanted to protest but when he saw Celestine shake her head, he left his dance partner and took another. After all, the dance floor was filled with people and the moment the guys spun the girls around, dancing partners could be exchanged.
Jeslyn also wanted to protest but somehow, she caught sight of Maverick sitting at a dark corner. He seemed to have been watching her.
So, he’s stalking me now?
Jeslyn didn’t say anything and directly placed a hand on Judge’s shoulder as a form of acceptance.
Judge wrapped a hand around her waist and held her other hand with his left hand, then they started to dance to the cool music.
“I’m Judge, what’s your name, pretty?”
“Not important,” Jeslyn responded.
“It is important. But don’t worry, you’ll tell me in a while.”
Jeslyn rolled her eyes and they continued to dance slowly. Soon, the music changed to something more seductive and provocative.
Jeslyn, Celestine, Lolita, and Ruben, plus the clients and a few other people on the dance floor frowned at the changed music. Something was wrong. They were also dancing, so they stopped and turned to look around. Only Jeslyn and Judge were still dancing.
Jeslyn was trying to peel herself away from the bastard that was taking advantage of her but she was too weak to free herself.
Maverick was staring at them and she could see him, likewise feeling his piercing stare at her exposed back.
Thinking of his betrayal, Jeslyn let herself go and started to go with the music.
Maverick’s gaze turned sinister as dark energy shrouded him. His hold on the glass cup tightened as he watched that filthy guy seduce his wife on stage.
“Clack,” the glass shattered and the shards pierced into his palm, yet Maverick didn’t notice.
As if touching his wife’s exposed beautiful skin wasn’t bad enough, he saw Judge leaning closer to Jeslyn, wanting to kiss her. Maverick narrowed his eyes and started to caress the black and gold gun on the table in front of him.
Good thing that just when Judge was about to kiss Jeslyn, she pushed him away and landed a slap on his face before she ran away from the stage.
Maverick’s eyes lingered on Judge who was holding his cheek and looking at Jeslyn’s running back. He got up with his gun and headed towards the restroom.
Jeslyn was seen in the restroom crying her eyes out while scrubbing her hands even though they had turned red. She wanted to punish Maverick. She wanted to see revenge but she ended up hurting herself even more.
“Rossa, what’s going on?” Lolita rushed inside the restroom to see Jeslyn crying.
“I’m fine,” Jeslyn wiped her tears before opening her purse to bring out her powder.
“You don’t look fine. Who hurt you?”
“Lolita, I’m ok. Please I need some space,” Jeslyn’s voice was hard and it was void of cheerfulness.
Lolita immediately understood that something was wrong but she couldn’t probe at this moment, so she left.
Jeslyn spent a long time applying and ruining her make up until she finally made one that could be managed.
Jeslyn left the restroom and to her shock, Maverick was resting his back on the wall, waiting for her.
Jeslyn looked around her, there was no other road. The only way back was to walk past Maverick but was that possible?
Jeslyn braced herself and started to walk towards him.
With every step she took toward him, her heart drum fiercer against her ribcage. He was just staring at her without blinking and his expression cannot even be read.
Jeslyn continued to walk forward while her heels made clicking sounds.
Just a few more steps to walk past him. Good thing he didn’t stop her. Jeslyn walked past with a few steps and finally let out the breath she was holding. The suspense in her heart just now almost made her faint.
However, before she could turn a corner, she felt her hand yanked as she was roughly pulled. Her naked back was pushed against the cold tiled wall and Jeslyn let out a small shrill in fright.
Looking at him, it was of course, her husband. His face was cold and he appeared to be angry.
Jeslyn was also angry, so she turned her face away.
“Rossa, do you want to tempt me?”
“Only you get to tempt me but I can’t do the same? Mr. Maverick Lu, he’s waiting for me.”
“He’s dead…”
“He’s not, stop lyin… ”
Before Jeslyn could finish, Maverick stretched his hand to his right and pulled the trigger without looking at the target. His eyes were focused on Jeslyn’s watering eyes.
“Bang!”
The deafening sound of gunshot jolted Jeslyn’s mind from her fantasies and she looked in the direction Maverick shot at. Someone was lying there in a pool of blood.
“Now, I’m not lying,” Maverick said coldly.
“Ahhh! How could you?!” Jeslyn screamed and glared at him.
“You are my wife and should be respected.” He loomed over her, sending sparks into her body. That statement was a tranquilizer to Jeslyn’s anger.
“Where did he touch you?” Maverick narrowed his eyes at Jeslyn and started to scrutinize her body.
She rolled her eyes and wanted to walk away but he seized her and pinned her to the wall again. His bleeding hand was placed above her head to block her exit.
“Don’t get me angry, Rossa.”
“Why will you get angry, Mr. Maverick Lu? I haven’t even done what you did.”
“You want to sleep with another man and get pregnant for him?” Although his face didn’t show emotions, the depth of his eyes held so much danger that Jeslyn’s heart turned cold. However, she was firm on her decision.
“What do you think? You went for Vera again and again because she was better and sweeter than me. You couldn’t let how she tasted off your mind… unfortunately, I have also forgotten how you taste, so I would go for a one–night stand with a great guy I won’t ever be able to stop thinking about.”
“It was once,” he said through gritted teeth.
“Oh, oh? Just once and you got her pregnant. Mr. Maverick Lu, why haven’t I gotten pregnant? Answer me… Why? We’ve done it a couple of times with you coming inside of me each time. Yet, I’m not pregnant! However, your delight got pregnant with an ‘unintentional’ one–time s3x but I couldn’t with countless intentional–times. Mr. Lu, are you telling me I’m baren? You’ve shown me how much I mean to you and I’m tired of being the ‘other woman’. Your intention was made clear when you visited her again and got her pregnant. Please, just go to her and leave me alone!”
“??” Why is she so unreasonable?
“See, you can’t answer it because you knew what you did!!” she screamed in anger. Why would he keep her quiet?
“??…you didn’t ask me a question.”
“Oh, ho! Lie to me, keep lying! I asked you why I’m not pregnant but she is!”
“Rossa, you didn’t want it. You aren’t ready for pregnancy.”
“Oh, so, was she ready? Was that why you impregnated her? Is it because you need children, so you felt the need to start getting other women pregnant?!”
“No… It wasn’t intentional.”
“And you want me to believe that?”
“Yes,” he said.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Maverick Lu, we are done!”
“You don’t want me anymore?” He raised a brow.
Jeslyn swallowed but answered without a doubt. “Yes. I don’t love you anymore.”
“You still do.”
“You are not–”
“I can prove it.” He shut her up. He didn’t want to hear her say that again.
“Prove wh–”
Maverick didn’t let her finish before he pulled her by the waist and lowered his head to her face. His mouth was just an inch away from her face.
The close proximity was making Jeslyn hot all over. Her lips were twitching in wait for a kiss that didn’t seem forthcoming. He was teasing her!
“Did you say you don’t love me anymore or you are angry because you are jealous?” His seductive voice sounded, coupled with his intoxicating fragrance. Jeslyn almost lost her senses to this devilish man in front of her.
Her lashes trembled and her throat went dry. He was too handsome! Too good to be abandoned. But… she regained her senses and pushed him away. “Don’t talk to me. Just sign the divorce papers.” She just realized this man was seducing her just now.
“After you answer me truthfully.”
Hearing that he would sign the divorce papers after she answered him truthfully, she grew more vexed and yelled. “Yes! I’m jealous. I’m madly jealous, ok?! Happy? Are you happy that you are very manly and that you could ‘accidentally’ get women pregnant so fast?! It’s not an achievement, so stop glowing! It’s annoying!” She slapped his chest in a fit of rage.
Maverick chuckled. She’s so cute when she’s angry. “It’s just a…”
“Paah,” a resounding slap echoed in the quiet passage.
Maverick was surprised and he involuntarily knitted his brows. He looked at the weak–looking girl in front of him but did nothing to her.
Jeslyn slapped him because she was really angry but he seem to be making mockery of her. However, she started to feel guilty after doing that and she lowered her head to look at her palm, blaming herself for not controlling her anger.
Seeing her like this, Maverick raised her jaw with his fingers and said; “You look sexy when angry. I’m not happy that I got someone else pregnant… However, I’m happy that you care enough to be jealous.” He tried to kiss her but she turned away.
“Is that what you want? Just for me to be jealous? Was that why you hid it from me and blocked all the means I could have found out? Why would you prevent me from knowing about it if you weren’t being dishonest?”
Maverick shut his eyes to calm himself down. He wasn’t mad at Jeslyn but himself. After opening his eyes, he asked; “do you not trust me?”
Jeslyn stayed silent and didn’t respond. Trust him? She trusted and forgave him the first time. But then he did it again and she got pregnant. Vera said he slept with her twice and Maverick is saying once.
“How many times did you sleep with her?” She asked again for confirmation.
Maverick placed a hand on the side of her face and replied; “If I truly did, then it’s once.”
Jeslyn glared at him and slapped his hand away. “Don’t deny it now. Answer me honestly!” She snapped.
“Fine, once.”
“Then why did she say it was twice?” She gave Maverick an intense look, still he didn’t cower nor show any sign of discomfort.
“Reason you shouldn’t trust her words over mine.”
Jeslyn flattened her lips while thinking. That was right. Why did she even think that Vera would tell her the truth in the first place? Why did she believe that vixen over her husband? Why did she also her husband because of that witch whom she knew was still in love with her Sugar plum?
Jeslyn looked up at her husband who had his lips flattened into a thin line. Although his face was void of expression, the vein on his forehead was popping out. She looked down at his hands and saw that one was balled in tight fist and the other was hidden behind his back.
“Plum?” Jeslyn looked up at him again with watery eyes. “I’m sorry,” she hugged his waist. “I’m very sorry for doubting you.”
Maverick sighed in relief and wrapped his left hand around her while the right hand that was still dripping blood was left to drop to the side.
“I’m not mad at you. You are right to be angry. I made a mistake and I deserved the slap.”
If others heard that Maverick was slapped by a living being and was still alive, then, they would probably battle for who would take Jeslyn in.
