THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 41 – 50

BY SIR ZACH

CHAPTER 46

Staring at the pale–faced Kimberly, Damien didn’t know what else to do to ease her suffering. Although she was sleeping, her face was in a deep frown and sometimes, she groaned. It appeared as if she was in a lot of pain.
“Kim, what should I do?” he sighed for the umpteenth time.

“Master, I think she needs to be taken to the hospital,” Randy spoke from the door.

“I know that, but there’s nothing I can do.”

“But she’s suffering!”

“Elder Five won’t let her live, stop talking like an idiot.”

“I’m sorry boss,”

Damien closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: “Arrange a plane to get her out of here.”

“S–sir?” Randy was shocked. Isn’t he the one who wouldn’t allow her to leave?

“You heard me!!!” he roared. “Get the damn plane!!” He is already regretting his decision to let her leave but he has no choice right now. The vapor of the chemical must have done some damage to her.

Damien knew that Elder Five wouldn’t just leave Kimberly hanging over that pool for nothing. Whether Damien killed Maverick like Elder Five requested or not, Kimberly would have died due to the chemical she inhaled.

“Cunning bastard. Pray I don’t get my hands on you, I’ll make sure to squeeze the miserable life out of you.” Damien gritted his teeth as he thought of the well planned scheme of that God-damned Elder.

“B–but boss, she can’t leave unless someone takes her. The only person who is intending to leave the island right now is Alpha Chaos.”

Damien can’t leave the island right now because of some personal reasons, so he needed someone to help him take Kimberly out of the island and send her to his hospital.

Damien glared at him. “Is there no one else who is leaving?”

“No, boss.”

Damien took a deep breath. “Where is the bastard?”

“He should be at his residence.”

Damien got up and closed his eyes one more time as he made one of the greatest decisions of his life. He glanced one last time at Kimberly before he turned towards the door and walked out.

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 41 – 50

Maverick was in his sitting room, typing on his laptop when Code 5 brought the news of Damien’s arrival.

“Let him in,” he said.

Code 5 nodded and walked back to the gate to allow Damien into the house.

“Chaos,” he called as he walked towards Maverick who didn’t raise his head from his laptop.

“I have a deal to make with you.” He added. Seeing that Maverick wouldn’t look at him, he sighed and sat on the black couch. “I know we’re on bad terms. However, Chaos…” he sighed deeply. “I need your help to take my woman out of here. I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Maverick raised his gaze from his laptop and asked: “Why should I help you?”

Damien thought about it for a while. That’s right, why would Maverick help him? He had done a lot of bad things to this motherf*cker in the past, so why would he save his ass now? Thinking of how to remedy one of his many crimes against Maverick and Jeslyn, he said: “Because I have something that your wife needs.”

Maverick arched his brow. “What do you think that my wife needs that you have?” His lips curled ever so slightly.

“The property papers.” He forced the words out of his lips. That damned Emilee gave him the fake documents. She thought he wasn’t aware of her petty games. Thinking of Emilee, a wicked smile crept onto Damien’s lips. He has never hated anyone like he hates that b!tch and he hopes that he wouldn’t die before he meets that lady and whoever is backing her up.

Looking at the changes appearing and disappearing on Damien’s face, Maverick tilted his head. “Oh?”

“Chaos is that not enough to take Kimberly away from here to get treatment?…” Seeing that Maverick had no intention to answer him, Damien balled his fist and suppressed the bitterness in his heart. “Please…” he uttered.

All his life, he had only uttered that word a few times whenever they came to inject him in that dark room. Although that word was supposed to be a plea, to Damien, it was approval because whoever begged him, dies a painful death.

He hated apologies and pleas as they triggered those horrible memories he tried to run away from.

Maverick looked at the earnest man and was busy searching for the defiant Damien in his eyes but couldn’t find him anywhere. The man sitting across from him was nothing but a desperate and heartbroken man in love.

Maverick lowered his gaze to his laptop and asked again: “Why do you deserve my help?”

Damien flattened his lips and thought for a while but couldn’t think of any reason why Maverick would want to help him. If he was in Maverick’s shoes, he would have killed Kimberly just to aggravate Maverick but Chaos wasn’t doing that, nor was he making things hard for him. Why? This is unlike Maverick and it unsettled Damien, still, he felt he had to say something.

“Probably because you respect women? Or maybe because you know how love is? Chaos, if Jeslyn was in Kimberly’s place and your enemy is the only way out, you would have begged them for help, right–”

“With something that is almost equivalent to my wife’s life.” He cut him off

Damien chuckled bitterly. Of course, this is Chaos. He would never do anything for free. It was already surprising that Maverick was having this conversation with him. For everything he had done to Maverick, the beast was supposed to be pointing a gun at his head now. “What do you want?”

“The source code for your underdeveloped virtual world.”

Damien swallowed. “That would mean giving you half of the Yu family’s foundation. It will weaken the Yu family’s power!” He frowned.

“It was never yours. My father owned the source code and your family stole it from him. I’m merely taking it back. Plus my wife’s inheritance. So, you haven’t given me anything to save Kimberly, Damien.” He curled his lips in a mocking smile.
Damien clenched his jaw. He knew that by asking Maverick for help, he’ll be getting milked until he dries off. However, he still came because he trusted Maverick too much for his own good. Although they might be enemies, Maverick is upright and never betrays.

“Fine. I’ll give you the documents to your wife’s inheritance and the secret to the virtual world. I can’t give you the source code… but you have to take Kimberly out first.”

Maverick shook his head. “I won’t unless you give me what I want.”

Damien felt like strangling Maverick right now but he had to swallow his dissatisfaction. “Fine, but I can’t give you anything right now because they are not here. The real documents to your wife’s inheritance are with Emilee. As for the source code to the Virtual world…” He stayed silent for a long time before he balled his fist and watched as his veins popped out on his wrist. “Randy, give me your knife.”

“Master!!”

“Just do it!!” Damien yelled at him. His woman was dying and he wouldn’t be able to continue living if she stopped breathing.

Randy glared at Maverick but said nothing, then pulled out a small dagger from his waist and passed it to Damien.

Damien took the dagger and glanced at Maverick who was equally staring at him before he placed his hand on the table and pierced his wrist with the dagger.

“I hope this is not being watched by the council?” Damien asked. He was being protected by the organization because of this small chip that was buried inside of him. Now that he has taken it out, his life is useless now. Even if he was killed by anybody, none will care.

“You don’t have to worry about that,” Maverick replied as he stretched out his hand and took the bloody ship from Damien.

His father died because of this chip. The organization made him their Holy Son because they thought he was the only one who could continue his father’s legacy of building a stable virtual world for them.

After his father died, the Lu family started to fight over the chip while Maverick tried to stabilize his father’s company. The fight for the chip was so intense that a lot of attempts were made on their lives.

Maverick couldn’t help it anymore and left the Lu family to make a home for himself and his little brother.

Holding the chip in between his fingers, Maverick accessed it one last time before he passed it to Code 2. “Clean it up.” He didn’t doubt that Damien gave him the right thing because the men knew themselves. They don’t bluff, nor do they do petty schemes.

“I’ve paid a deposit. When will you take her out?” Damien asked.

“When I’m done with my work.”

“What are you doing? When will you finish it? Kim will be dead before then!” He glared at Maverick.

Maverick raised his eyes at him. “Why should I care about her life and death?”

“Chaos, don’t play with me!” he hissed. “I’ve paid you a part, why are you behaving like an asshole?”

“You paid me to take her out, you didn’t pay to keep her alive by all means. She’s sick, so just kill her.”

“No! She’s perfectly fine!”

“Just saying.” Maverick shrugged and continued to hit the keyboard.

“Chaos, she’s important to me, just as Jeslyn is important to you. Please, don’t let her die, I beg you.” Damien was completely honest as he uttered those words with helplessness lacing his tone.

Maverick stopped hitting the keyboard and paused to look at the defenseless Damien. “Does it feel good?”

Damien smiled bitterly. “It’s called love, isn’t it? Does it feel good?” He returned the question.

Maverick stared at him with flattened lips before he slowly nodded. “hm.”

“You don’t regret having a weakness?” Damien asked.

“Do you?”

“No,” he shook his head. “I’m just scared… no matter what you intend to do to me, please, leave her out of it, please.” Damien knew that he wouldn’t be forgiven but his Kimberly was innocent.

Maverick returned his eyes to the complicated series of codes on the screen of his laptop. Without saying anything for a long time, he clicked on ‘execute’ and a small smile found its way to the corner of his lips.

“Bring her over. We are living tonight” He turned to look at Damien, “You can come with her. No one will take care of her on your behalf.” With that said, he got up and left with his laptop.

Damien’s eyes trailed after him and a small smile caressed his lips.

“Master, do you trust him? He sounds dubious.”

“Chaos is the most trustworthy person in the Country. If you can trust me, then he’s worthy of your trust. However, he’s not a nice person… he’s up to no good.”

Randy swallowed. ‘Of course! A nice person won’t lie to you about your woman’s sisters. Also, he forced you to fall in love and have a weakness!’

“He is wicked indeed.”

“Randy, go and get Kimberly here, I’m not going back,” Damien said and leaned back to rest his back on the chair.

Randy bowed and walked out.
