THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 51 – 60

CHAPTER 52
“Why should you be here? Are you forgetting who you are and what you’ve done?” Rex fired back.
“Actually, I lost my memory. Please remind me.” Damien challenged with a cunning smile. He really wants to know all his crimes because he also has a belly full of things to say to these brothers. They also ruined his life.
“You, you…” Rex was tongue-tied. Damien’s shamelessness beat him to speechlessness. How would he reveal that Damien was the one behind Jeslyn’s sorrow? Won’t the house fall apart? Is that what Damien was after? To see his brother’s family fall apart?
On second thought, isn’t that why he sent Vera in the first place?! Rex’s eyes shone with a glint as he glared at Damien. “You want my brother’s family to fall apart?!”
Damien nodded. “In the past, I desperately wanted it, which was why I sent Vera into his life.”
“Huh?” Jeslyn’s ears piqued. “You did what?” Vera was someone she can never forget.
“Oh, the goddess Jeslyn. I think you’re the only one I owe an apology but too bad I don’t know how to apologize but I’ll be glad if you’ll forgive me. I can compensate you.” Damien sounded both serious and unserious.
“What are you talking about?” Jeslyn frowned.
He sat upright and said; “you know, I had issues with this husband of yours and you accidentally got involved. Well, I didn’t call it an accident in the past, which was why I was mad at you and got you entangled in my schemes to ruin your husband…” Damien continued and told Jeslyn everything he did to her and how he also snatched her baby.
Jeslyn was flabbergasted. She couldn’t wrap her head around any of what Damien said. For a long time, the air in the sitting room was stagnant. Valen stared at Damien in speechlessness. His little mind at the moment was wondering how someone could be this evil!
He thought that way because it had something to do with being separated from his beloved Jeslyn.
Maverick’s eyes didn’t leave his wife’s shocked face. He hoped she wouldn’t get him involved in her anger….Well, she would because he will be doing something that might anger her soon. He sighed.
After a long time, Jeslyn finally spoke. “Wh– what you just said…” She looked at her lovely son, then shifted her gaze back to Damien. “…was your doing?”
Damien nodded. “That’s not all. I love playing games, so I also did something to your family, your grandfather to be precise… however, I only issued the command but didn’t say what should be done.”
“Wh– what are you talking about?!” Jeslyn bolted up from her seat with widened eyes. “What did you do to my grandfather?!!!” Her voice thundered, sending raw fear down their hearts.
Valen flinched when he heard that voice and Maverick clenched his jaw, trying to suppress his annoyance to not kill Damien right now. How stupid can he be? Is he supposed to word it like that?
It was clear that Damien wants to make amends. Even though he doesn’t know how to, he was making an attempt… something Maverick would never do.
“I asked you, what did you do to my grandfather?!!” Killing intent shot out from Jeslyn as her eyes flared with animosity.
“Oh, Chaos, it seems like I’ll die in your wife’s hands instead of yo–”
“Shut the f”*ck up and answer me!!” She roared.
Rex, who was the closest to her, shivered. Her anger was going out of control but he has no intention of getting involved. This is very entertaining stuff to watch and a recording has to be done. So he hurried to his brother and sat beside him, then pulled out his phone to start recording. ‘My sister-in-law is on fire!’ he giggled softly.
“Ohoi, it’s your sister’s doing, not mine, ah. I only told her to make your life unbearable and she went ahead to make her own plans. I guess making you fall in love with that weakling and poisoning your grandfather for so long was considered unbearable.” He shrugged.
“E. mi. lee…” Jeslyn stretched the name on her tongue and narrowed her raging eyes. “You have long beaten the drum of war and congratulations, I have accepted your challenge!” Her narrowed eyes suddenly changed and she fixed a cold stare at Damien. “I have no intention of forgiving you.”
Damien sighed, “I wasn’t expecting the forgiveness to come so soon but I’m hoping you would. I can compensate you even though your husband caused it all.”
“Whatever you have with my husband is between you two. However, getting my family and son involved was your mistake. You’ll pay for it, Damien Yu!” Jeslyn glared at Maverick who was minding his business. She grabbed Valen, and left, heading to the front door.
“That’s fine. You can punish me but don’t kill me or take away my woman. Hehe…!!” Damien said before Jeslyn left through the door.
That was a nervous laugh. Damien didn’t think that Jeslyn would be this difficult to handle. He thought she would be the type that would give him the cold shoulder, just like Maverick. He had no idea that she was the type to cause one, fear and anxiety.
He had never met a woman that would voice her hatred to him with so much authority that it actually scared him for a second. Even Maverick doesn’t scare him the way Jeslyn did just now. His eyes followed her as she left through the door in her oversized black shirt that she wore over black shorts.
Maverick was just sitting there and staring at her as she walked away with anger. He knew she was coming back because he had already sent out an order some seconds ago. He can’t allow his wife to leave the house while angry.
“Hehehe… My sister-in-law is so fierce. I hope you get a well-deserved punishment for what you did to her and me.” Rex smiled as he kept away his phone.
“You shouldn’t be happy just yet. I’m not done with you. I haven’t settled scores with you for crashing my party and giving Emilee the opportunity to start her schemes against me.” Damien glared at Rex. He couldn’t forget what this demi-devil did to him 5 years ago.
“Haha… that’s not the only thing I did. I’m one of the instigators behind her. So what can you do about that? She needed money and power and I gave it to her. Hahahaha… You think that you’re the only one allowed to play dirty? Who asked you to touch my cargo?”
“Y–You, you punk! Your brother snatched my clients!” Damien yelled.
“So? Since when did I become my brother? Like my sister-in-law said, don’t get family involved in men’s fights. If you hadn’t touched my cargo, you would have had one less enemy and if you hadn’t stretched your fang to my sister-in-law, you would have also gotten three less enemies.”
“What do you mean three less enemies?” Talking with these unreasonable Lus was stressing him out.
“Ah, my brother will avenge his wife, I will avenge my sister-in-law, and she will also avenge herself. Hehe… you didn’t think we’d let you go scot-free, right?” Rex glared maliciously at him.
“Chaos,” Damien turned to look at the lazy looking Maverick. “Wh–”
“My wife and brother are angry. What can I do?”
“Oh? So you don’t want to get involved?” He asked.
“No, but rest assured, you’re still useful so you won’t be killed.”
“Maverick!” Damien shot up. “For how long are you going to continue treating me this way? You made me the person I am today! It’s all because of you!! I turned a villain just so you could see my heart–”
“Have you also fallen in love with my husband? Don’t you dare!” Jeslyn’s voice boomed from the door.
Everyone turned to look at her. She was striding towards them in a fit of rage.
“I’m not gay.” Damien cut in and sighed.
“Good for you…” she took a deep breath and turned to look at her husband. “Why did you order them to not allow me to take the car?” She was wondering why her husband didn’t come for them, it happened that he already instructed the guards not to let her leave. Such a controlling bastard!
“You are upset and you aren’t in disguise.”
Jeslyn touched her face. That’s right but… “Why do you care? Weren’t you good at hiding my enemies from me? Did you do that because you two are in love? And you even brought him home!!” She screamed.
“Ah…” Rex didn’t know if he should laugh or pity his brother at this point. But one thing was certain… he was loving this chaos!
“Ahem,” Maverick cleared his throat and got up from his seat. He walked to stand in front of Jeslyn and held her by the shoulders. He lowered his height to stare into her angry hazel eyes. “It’s not what you think.”
She flung his hands off her shoulders. “What do you know that I think?!” She pointed at Damien. “That beast killed my grandfather and caused my mother to die. He separated Valen from me and made it so that Mulan could treat my child like a robot. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he brought in Vera who almost burnt me with chemicals and pushed my son down the stairs. Maverick Lu, what else is there to understand?!” She spoke calmly like she was trying to understand her husband. Her heart hurt that he wasn’t as angry at the enemy as she was. How could he?
Maverick pulled her into an embrace. “You are right to be angry. He deserves your anger…” then he pulled away and returned to stare at her in the eyes. “…However, I’m the biggest culprit.”
“What are you talking about?” Jeslyn frowned as angry tears caressed her orbs.
“I drove him to that extent. So I should also be punished, Candy floss.”
Damien and Rex looked on in shock and surprise. Did Maverick just defend Damien?! Why???
“Wh–what do you mean?” Jeslyn stuttered in disbelief. She knew her husband was defending her enemy. She suddenly felt the surge of disappointment and bitterness at the bottom of her heart. Her eyes slowly started to tear up.
How could he do this to her? He knew how much she detested those people who ruined her life, yet he is protecting the mastermind. Why?
“Floss, you trust your husband, don’t you?” Maverick asked her quietly. Silently enough for only her to hear.
Teardrops slowly fell from her eyes as she stared into her husband’s emotional eyes. They were slowly turning red and she has no idea why. The veins on his forehead were popping out and she believed he was suppressing his emotions.
“Plum, I– I…” she fell into his embrace instead of answering and burst into tears. She couldn’t stop or hold back the tears. The person who caused her so much misery was right here with her but she can’t do anything to him.
Maverick carried Jeslyn in his arms and went out.
Rex finally got hold of himself and exclaimed. “Waaa! That was a rollercoaster. I almost cried at the beautiful– huh? Why are you crying?”
Damien was shocked and raised his hand to his cheeks. Indeed, he was crying.
Damien couldn’t deny that he felt envious and jealousy for those two’s relationship. Jeslyn felt betrayed, yet she has an unwavering trust for her husband. Will there ever be someone who would love and trust him so much to believe that he didn’t really mean to be this kind of a person? He also crave love, why does no one see that?
He wiped the tears and smiled. “I guess that’s called a tear of anger?”
“That’s certainly not a cry from anger. You look sad and have a longing expression on your face… Say, evil Damien, have you started to feel emotions?” Rex smiled. This was the perfect time to bully this devil.
“Fill me in, I might be able to help you, you know.” Rex winked. Once gossip is involved, Rex no longer has enemies.
“Since your brother left, mind telling me which hospital Kimberly was taken to?” Damien ignored him. He was here for Kimberly in the first place.
“Eh? Who is Kimberly?” Rex frowned.
“It seems you don’t know. Leave it be.” Damien turned and was about to walk away when Rex ran to stand in front of him with his hands wide open.
“Don’t be like that, frenemy. Who knows, I might be of help to you. My sister-in-law listens to me. I can speak well of you so she’ll forgive you, you know?” Rex winked. He wasn’t going to but he wants to hear this juicy news by hook or by crook.
The almighty Damien has changed?! Of course, Rex can’t miss the opportunity to know why and how!
“Tell that to someone who doesn’t know you. Get out of my way, gossip monger.” Damien brushed him out of his way and walked forward.
“Very good. I’ll help my sister-in-law to seek revenge against you instead. I heard that your human trafficking agency is being monitored by Fin and I happen to have some interesting evidence that will undoubtedly get you hanged. Should I give it to that stubborn Fin? He’ll be very happy. Haha…”
“You imbecile!!!” Damien groaned.
“Hahahaha… now, now, frenemy. Come back to your seat and tell me all the gossip. Who is Kimberly and why is my brother ready to protect you even if it means going against my sister-in-law? Also, why does it look like you’ve changed?”
