THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 11 – 20
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 18
Jeslyn broke the kiss for real this time and looked at Vera’s empty seat before a smile broke out on her lips. ‘Vera, this is just the beginning. I’ll make you leave this house on your own.’ she thought.
As she tried to get up from Maverick’s lap, she discovered she couldn’t move. Looking down at her waist, his hands were holding her in place.
Yeah, why would she make trouble with the sleeping lion? It’s been a week that they haven’t had s3x and how she has awoken his little brother who was growing under her.
Can she beg now? That little brother, when awoken, only goes back to sleep after eating something.
“Plum, I’m still hungry–”
“I’m hungry too.”
“Then that’s good, let me return to my chair so we can eat in peace, shall we?” She smiled nervously.
Maverick leaned in the crook of her neck and breathed in her nice fragrance.
“You smell good.” He whispered.
“I know… You do too.” Jeslyn blushed. It was rare for him to compliment her. She liked that he doesn’t do it regularly so she could treasure the times he suddenly says it.
“Mn,” Maverick raised his gaze and saw there were still maids around them, though they had their eyes down.
“Get Xuan,” Maverick’s deep voice rang slowly.
Maya bowed and hurried off. A few moments later, she returned hurriedly with Butler Xuan.
“Deliver the food to my room… In two hours.”
“Yes, Master.”
Jeslyn, who was trying to scoop a spoon of soup, froze when she felt movement from Maverick. Before she could look to see while he was shifting, she felt her waist lift and she was in mid-air.
The spoon was still in her hand. She looked at Maverick. What was he trying to do?
Jeslyn didn’t wait long to understand what was happening as Maverick started to walk out of the dining area with Jeslyn in his arms.
She let the spoon fall. She wasn’t worried that it won’t be found because a moment after they left, Maya picked up the spoon and cleared the table with the other maids.

Two hours later, Maverick came out of the shower while carrying Jeslyn in his arms. He gently placed her on a chair to blow dry her hair when the doorbell rang.
He didn’t respond to the door but after a few seconds, butler Xuan walked in with a tray. He placed it on the table and walked out without exchanging words. He came alone, so he didn’t need to wait for anyone before shutting the door behind him.
After drying Jeslyn’s hair, Maverick walked to the drawer beside his bed and brought out a small black box.
He walked back to Jeslyn before opening the box.
“Our marriage marks a year tomorrow. You’ve been using a borrowed ring, so…” He took her hand and pulled out the ring on it before replacing it with an ultra slim glittering gold ring with a small pink colored stone.
The ring was so beautiful on Jeslyn’s finger that it felt like she was born with it.
She gasped at the stunningness of the ring and her lips broke into a winsome smile. The ring almost blended with her skin, still, it was simply an allure– the most gorgeous ring she had ever seen.
It might be slim, but it didn’t look less expensive. It was classy, flamboyant, and screams of money!
She admired the ring with so much love that Maverick’s lips stretched into a smile.
“Glad you like it,” he said.
“It’s so beautiful!” Jeslyn purred.
“Where is yours?” She asked him. The only time she had ever seen a ring on his finger was on the altar after she put it on him.
Maverick stretched the box to her and she took out the normal-sized ring for a man and placed it on his finger.
He got her such a tiny ring so it would go unnoticed on her finger. She’s a celebrity and her marriage is ‘supposed’ to be hidden at the moment.
Jeslyn stood on tiptoes and kissed him. “Thank you, Plum.” She whispered.
“No, thank you.” He said and carried her up, prompting her to wrap her legs around his waist as they kissed like the world was ending.

Valen’s bone marrow transplant was scheduled for the next day, so Jeslyn was instructed to not tire herself out in preparation for the transplant because she would eventually get tired after her bone marrow was taken, thus, Maverick refrained from going overboard with his kisses and touches.
He broke the kiss after a while and asked; “when do you want us to go out?”
“N– ahem!” She coughed to clear her throat. “Not right now. I only asked about it to….” She smiled. She did that to rile Vera up. She wasn’t intending to go out for fun with Valen still in that condition.
Maverick shook his head. His wife is petty.
“Your father has been trying to get in contact with you for a while now. Do you want to speak with him? I can–”
“No!” Jeslyn didn’t let him finish. She shook her head, “I don’t want to see anyone who isn’t Emma or Ava. Those girls are the only true friends I have in Country A and I owe them a debt of gratitude for being sincere towards me.”
“Mn…” Maverick hummed before telling her the result of his investigation. “Your sister lip sync. The voice and music she sings aren’t hers.”
“What?!”
Jeslyn had asked him to help her investigate Christine and her career. Now that she found out Christine had been cheating, she didn’t know how to respond to the news.
“She lip sync.”
“That’s insane! How come nobody knows?” She frowned.
Maverick pulled Jeslyn to the chair so she could eat.
“She’s smart.” He said.
“That vixen. I’m sure she’s getting help from that sister of hers… By the way, Plum, do you know about that Emilee girl?” She queried.
“Mn. She’s Damien’s pet.”
“Who is Damien– wait, Damien Yu?!”
Maverick nodded.
Jeslyn’s lips fell apart. Her brows furrowed deeply. Why would Emilee work for Damien Yu… No, how did she get connected to Damien Yu? “When did she get here?” She asked.
“11 years ago. She was 18.” He replied.
“What do you know about her? Please tell me everything.” She asked before opening her mouth to accept the food he was offering her.
“She has a criminal record in Rose City. Entered the Country through illegal means. Started from an irrelevant gang. She stayed in the gang for a few weeks and became the leader after killing the boss. She went to a club 7 years ago where she met Damien. She seduced him and successfully became his tranquilizer.”
“Tranquilizer?”
“Mn. Damien needs a human tranquilizer when he’s angry. It calms him down… Through s3x.”
“Oh, I understand.” She peered at him from the corner of her eyes and asked; “do you get angry? What do you do to calm yourself down?”
“I’m human… I kill the offenders.”
Jeslyn nodded. She was sure he would. “You don’t seem like a human though… What gets you extremely angry?”
Maverick paused to think. That’s right, what gets him extremely angry? There are times he has gotten angry but it wasn’t fury. Like the time when Rex was almost drowned in a muddy pool, the time he found out Valen and Rossa were carriers of ATOM, like the time he found out Pink was Rossa’s biological mother– yet she allowed Rossa to go through so much in life. Also, when Judge touched his Jeslyn inappropriately. Although he killed Judge after that, he was not satisfied because he gave Judge a quick death.
Maverick knew that killing Judge was going to get him in trouble with the Dark Age organization, which was why he should have enjoyed a little bit of Judge’s despair. But unfortunately, things didn’t end up that way.
It wasn’t entirely bad because after killing Judge on that day, his men threw his body into the sea, then, his men told the Elder who came with Judge to go get his body from the sea.
He was truly angry on that day but that doesn’t qualify to be called fury. He thought.
“Nothing,” Maverick replied after thinking of all that could have made him furious. Nothing has successfully gotten him extremely angry but it doesn’t mean nothing would.
He looked at her and took a handkerchief to remove the stain on her lip. “…Don’t hide anything from me and don’t go after other men.” That would really get him furious.
“Hahahaha… why wouldn’t I go after someone with a bigger thigh…” Jeslyn shut her mouth when she saw the glare he was directing to her.
“Not funny,” he said.
Jeslyn nodded before she smiled. “Yes, your highness. Hahahaha… the look on your face makes me want to cheat.” She beamed.
Maverick ignored her and picked a slice of fish. Jeslyn opened her mouth but instead of feeding her like he had been doing, he ate it instead. She thought it would only happen once, however, she watched as he slowly ate the fish a few more times without giving her any.
“Ah, don’t be like that, I was just kidding.” She bemoaned. “Sorry, I want fish.”
Maverick smiled before feeding her.
“I hope the operation is successful… Ah, Vera still doesn’t know that Valen is awake. Don’t you want to tell her?”
“Your choice.”
“Nah, I don’t want to. She’s galavanting around, thinking only her unborn child can save Valen. I want to watch the drama she’s about to create in this house. Please, play along.”
She hurriedly held his hand and blinked her puppy eyes. She knew that if Vera irritates Maverick too much, he might send her away.
Maverick looked down at the hands that were holding him and a light flickered through his eyes. “Pay me.”
“I have no money, ah.” Jeslyn has a bottomless hole in the form of a black card in her possession, yet she said she was poor.
Why would she spend from that account? It’s her bride price! It’s not right to give her bride price to her husband, is it?
“I’m rich.” He replied.
“I know… What else should I pay you with?”
His eyes trailed her almost naked body. Jeslyn’s hands flew to her chest and covered it. She also closed her legs simultaneously. “No, Mr. Maverick.” They just had s3x just now. Her legs were still shaking.
Maverick shook his head. This woman. “S*x…”
Jeslyn slowly let go of her chest and released her legs. She chuckled embarrassingly while nodding. “Ok.”

The next day…
Jeslyn and Maverick went to the lab for the operation. Entering the lab, Jeslyn was shocked to see Celestine sitting beside Rex who wouldn’t stop rolling her hair on his index finger even though she was trying to stop him.
“Hi Jeslyn,” Celestine smiled.
“Teacher? What are you doing here?” Jeslyn asked with a little frown.
Celestine looked helplessly towards Rex. The idiot forced her here.
“Hey, sister-in-law, didn’t I tell you I’m her biggest fan?”
Jeslyn slowly nodded while looking at the tiny space in between them and also the long hair Rex was holding onto.
Indeed, fans and celebrities are supposed to be this close.
It was obvious Jeslyn didn’t buy that, so Rex let go of Celestine’s hair and smiled. “Thanks to you, my dream came true. We are–”
“Rex!” Celestine butted in, stopping Rex in the nick of time. Didn’t he promise to not reveal their relationship status?
“We are friends.” Maverick intervened.
Jeslyn’s frown deepened. Did it mean that everything, from the signing to her training was Maverick’s doing? She turned to look at Maverick, although she already suspected, she still wanted to hear it from the horse’s mouth.
“I didn’t sign up for your classes, you did.” He immediately defended himself with a straight face.
“But you told her to start a music lesson for my sake.”
“I didn’t force her. She needed the money.”
“?? ”
“…”
“…”
The three of them were speechless at Maverick’s weak excuse. Why would Celestine, an icon in the music industry, need such a penny?
That’s not the issue. All these while, she thought she got in with her own credibility but in actual facts, it was because of Maverick. Didn’t he say he doesn’t give backdoors? What was this?
Jeslyn got upset but before she could walk out on them and head to Matt’s office, Celestine intervened.
“You didn’t get selected because of Maverick. I already had the idea of training three people just like my teacher did and I even told Mav about it, so when he asked me if I was still going to do it, I agreed. He didn’t tell me about you either. The choosing process was done randomly by my Assistant. It was purely a coincidence that you got selected. Although, Mav messaged me but it was already after the selection.”
“Is she here? Come in, the operation will be starting now.” Matt spoke through a side door.
Just as she was about to walk past Maverick, he pulled her back and kissed her. “I’ll wait here for you.”
Jeslyn smiled. “Ok,” she hugged him one last time before leaving.
“Is she not angry?” Celestine asked in bewilderment.
“No, she’s reasonable and not senselessly prideful,” Rex replied while sniffing Celestine’s hair.

Jaslyn needs your prayers…..
