BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 13
“I’m really sorry.”
“Don’t believe others over me in the future,” he said.
“Mm, I promise.”
The two stayed like that for a while before Jeslyn the hug when she remembered something.
“That dead person…” She looked in his direction but the dead person was no longer there.
“His body has been taken care of.”
“When was that? I didn’t know about it.”
Maverick didn’t respond. The body was carried away when he tried to kiss her. He only did that to distract her and she did turn her face away.
“Aren’t you going to get in trouble?”
“I will,” Maverick knew that killing Judge will get him in trouble with the Dark Age organization, still he did it.
“Then why did you do it?”
“He disrespected your body and he ought to die.”
“Plum?” She looked at him sadly. If not because she allowed it, would that have happened?
“It’s ok. I can handle it.” He kissed the middle of her head.
“Alright… Vera and her baby, what will happen to them?”
“The decision is yours to make.” He replied.
“Ok. Let her give birth and then you can support the kids… No, I’ll take over the care of the kids. You just stop seeing her.” She glared at him.
He nodded with a smile.
“She said you wanted to get rid of her child, why?”
“I didn’t want it.”
“The child is innocent. He/she is also Valen’s sibling, so you must not touch it.”
“I understand.”
“Call her back to the house but you’ll have to stay in Country Y with me. You aren’t going back to the house unless we are going together.”
Maverick smiled. What is better than that? “I agree.”
Jeslyn sighed. “I’m feeling dizzy, take me home.”
Maverick–swept her off her feet and carried her away. After they left, one of the female restroom doors was opened and Ruben stepped out. He narrowed his eyes at the tall man striding away with Jeslyn in his arms and balled his hands into tight fists.
At the underground car park…..
Jeslyn had just called Celestine and was about to keep her phone away when she spotted Maverick’s bleeding hand on the steering. Her eyes widened in horror and she immediately grabbed his hand.
“What happened?”
Maverick glanced down at his hand before looking at her. Seeing the worry on her face, his heart wasn’t excited.
“You caused it.”
“How?” Jeslyn wanted to remove the pieces of broken bottles that were stuck in his palm but was scared he’d feel pain.
“You were dancing with other men.”
“Huh?” Jeslyn gazed at his face. “Did you break a bottle with your hand because I was dancing with other men?”
“I did grab it tightly but I’m not sure my strength was enough to break it.”
“In other words?” Jeslyn raised a brow to hear more lies. Why does he not want to accept that he was that strong enough to break a bottle?
“It must have been the ice,” Maverick said with his eyes smiling.
Jeslyn nodded. “You are good with lies anyway. Get down, let me drive.” She opened the car door and walked to the other side.
Maverick had no choice but to get down and allow her to take the wheel. Even though she wasn’t familiar with the roads, he had a fun time watching her drive around the city in search of a hospital.
A few days later, Maverick got a call from Matt, asking him to come for a bone marrow test. Maverick looked at Jeslyn who was dressing up for class and said;
“I’ll be leaving for Country M in a while.”
Jeslyn turned to look at him and accessed him from head to toe. “That’s fine, but stay away from Vera.”
“Mn.”
“My one–month break will start next week. I’ll be coming to join you. Plum, don’t break my trust.”
“Mn,”
“Why don’t you open your mouth and talk? ‘Mn‘ is making me feel like you have bad intentions.”
“??”
“Maverick, ah!” She yelled in frustration.
“You are worrying yourself too much. You might grow some wrinkles.” He said while walking towards her.
“I can’t help it. Vera is giving me a… Forgot it, she’s Valen’s mother.” She pouted.
Maverick stayed silent when he heard that. He took the brush from her and started to brush her hair while thinking of the result of the investigation that Rex sent him last night.
The investigation they carried out on Vera from years back was flawed. Vera is not who she said she was. Her real name was indeed Vera but she isn’t an indigene of Country G, Country A, or Country Y like she claimed but was rather from a declined family in Country M.
Her family, the Wang family, was once among the Top families in Country M but one day, the family suddenly experienced misfortune and the whole family was annihilated by some unknown force. It was said that everyone died but who would have known that their daughter survived?
That wasn’t Maverick’s problem though but what he didn’t understand was; why would Vera claim to be the woman he slept with that night and why would she claim to be pregnant? Why would she appear at Country G’s hospital and claim that she gave birth to Valen? If that isn’t confusing enough, then why would Vera suddenly disappear from the hospital and suddenly appear to be Rossa’s friend? Why would she appear at that place close to Rossa’s house in Country A, knowing that the area was dangerous? Why would she call Rossa for help instead of calling the cops? Unless it was all staged!
Maverick’s eyes narrowed at his conclusion. If everything was staged, then it means Rossa or he was the target. If the plan was to ruin him, then why switch places with Rossa and why snatch Valen from Rossa?
And if it was to ruin Rossa, then it makes sense. But who would do that to an eighteen year old girl and why?
Maverick’s hands paused when a name suddenly appeared in his mind.
‘Ms. Alice.
“Plum? What are you thinking?”
Jeslyn’s voice woke Maverick from his reverie and he smiled at her. “Nothing… What did your mom say when you got pregnant… in your dream?”
“She was excited,” Jeslyn replied.
“Why was that? Any clue?”
“No. She was just morally upright. She said she’ll find me the father of the child and get us married. However…” Jeslyn sighed. She turned around to face him. “Why are you suddenly asking me that?”
Now it makes sense.
Ms. Alice was excited because Jeslyn’s pregnancy saved Jeslyn from her future troubles, so she asked Jeslyn to keep the pregnancy.
But why did Ruben Yu and Vera Wang get involved? Maverick knows that getting an answer from Ruben Yu was the same as not getting an answer at all.
Ruben Yu might look calm and collected. He might appear like a contrast to his brother, Damien Yu, however, Maverick knew too well to underestimate that guy.
His twin brother, Damien is a Psychopath, what makes anyone think Ruben isn’t a worse Psycho?
“When is your break?” Maverick asked instead of answering her.
“It’s next week. A month’s break. I already said that just now.”
“Come with me to Country M to see Valen.”
“Ok. I hope he wakes up before then.” Jeslyn clasped her hands in prayer.
Maverick brushed her silky smooth Black hair back as he watched her pray. Then his gaze traveled to the mirror and his eyes suddenly turned villainous with his lips curled.

*Country M….*
Vera had returned to Maverick’s home after she got a call from the butler. She just finished bathing and was putting on some clothes when she paused. She looked at the mirror with her gaze focused on her stomach. She caressed it for a while before her lips broke into a smile.
Her mind flashed back to that day and how it happened.
Vera received a package from a lady dressed as a maid. The lady whispered something to her and Vera nodded.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 11 – 20
A while later, Vera was seen giving the package to a chef. The substance was added to the food that was being cooked.
After Maverick ate the food, he walked into Vera’s room and lay on her bed. Soon, Vera joined him on the bed and started to undress him. She played with his body, gave him a blowjob, and did all she could but Maverick’s little brother didn’t stand up.
Frustrated, Vera called the same chef into her room and allowed him to have a hot session with her in the bathroom. After that, she relayed what happened to the maid who later killed the chef to keep the secret.
“Nobody knows, and nobody will know what exactly happened that night. Hahahahahaha….” Vera laughed boisterously.
“Why won’t I tear you both apart? My mission was to break Maverick, but it was a pity you got in the way, Jeslyn. Oh, how I pity you. You are so cute and harmless. I was actually finding you likable but who told you to get involved with Maverick? Not only did you take my place in his bed eight years ago, but you also dared to get pregnant for him. Even Your so–called mother almost created a mess for me. Good thing I got her people involved, else my mission would have failed and that Psycho would have sacrificed me. Why don’t they just kill you instead of cooking such a foolproof plot to emotionally bankrupt you? Maverick, Is there an achievement from ruining you emotionally? Whatever. Those people are weird, they can’t be understood at all. Oh, little Valen and Jeslyn are so pitiful. The big one didn’t know she’s with her child and the little one has no idea that the mother he longs for is right before him. What a sad life. Jeslyn even had the nerve to lie about her identity to me. Hahahaha… What a joke. My game will soon be over, then I can return. I’m tired of this hellhole.”
On the white ceiling was an almost invisible pinhole camera. It wasn’t beeping and even if one looked attentively, they wouldn’t think that anything was there.
Inside Rex’s sitting room, Inspector Fin and Rex could be seen staring at Vera on the laptop screen.
Rex took a huge bite of the chicken lap he was holding with a white napkin as he watched Vera while also listening to her confession.
“Wow, this is some crazy bitch sent on a suicide mission by some crazy people. Mav will be impressed to know this.” Fin smiled.
“I never liked this bitch. I’ll love to skin her alive for toying with us.” Rex bit furiously on the chicken again.
“Easy on the chicken man, it did nothing to you.”
“I can only vent with this. My brother won’t allow me to touch her.”
“It’s understandable. Mav wants to play along.”
“Oh please, this is not your police shit. If brother plays along, he’d be risking his relationship with sister-in-law. That girl is very sensitive. She might not forgive brother.”
“Tsk. I thought you were the Master of relationships. It seems you know nothing. What’s her name… sister-in-law loves Mav and there’s absolutely nothing that can make her stop loving him. Bet me, she won’t be able to stay angry at Mav for a few days.”
Rex sighed… “You are right, Fin. Jeslyn is a hopeless case. Even if she can stay angry at my brother, she won’t be able to, with Valen in the picture. So, I guess, blood truly is thicker than water.”
“That only applies to other people and certainly not to you and your family.” Inspector Fin mocked.
“You hit the spot.” Rex stood up from the couch and picked up a jacket. While wearing it, Fin asked.
“Where are you going?”
“Where else? There’s a gathering for celebrities. Where there are ladies gathered, there’s always drama and gossip. I can’t miss out on that.”
“Then, send this record to Mav first, shouldn’t you?” Fin sighed. Who isn’t tired of Rex?
“What are you there for? Send it to him and also help me take the plate to the kitchen.”
“Do I look like your maid?”
“As of now, you are living in my house. So, washing dishes and cleaning shouldn’t be anything to you.” Getting to the door, Rex looked back at Fin whose hair looked like a bird’s nest. “I can only accommodate you for this week. Celeste is coming next week. Either go sort your issues with that lady or go live with Matt… if he’ll allow you into his home.”
“Get lost!” Fin threw him a pillow.
