THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 61 – 70

BY SIR ZACH

CHAPTER 61

‘That’s right, I keep telling people that Jeslyn is one with a pure soul. We went to the same school and she used to be my senior. Jeslyn’s love for that jealous bitch was known by everyone in school. We were jealous of that bitch and wished we were in her place but in the end, her jealousy still prevailed and she ruined my idol!

Between, I can’t seem to use her name, I bet she had made her people censor her name, so my post keeps getting deleted.’

‘I agree with the comment up there, Jeslyn was my classmate, she never stopped singing that girl’s praises. Each time that I saw that girl, she always had this gloomy look that made one want to only care about her. She never got satisfied which made Jeslyn stay away from us all and only had that idiot as a friend. But the irony of it all was that the bitch had a few friends while Jeslyn didn’t have time to make any because she was babysitting that who*e!’

‘Bingo! I once met Jeslyn with a bouquet and a chocolate cake, wanting to date her in high school. Jeslyn loved chocolate then, so she couldn’t resist. As she was about to collect the cake from me, that hateful bitch walked over and started crying out of nowhere, which made Jeslyn abandon me, and had to console her. In the end, the spoiled brat was crying because someone called her a pest, though she was. Hmph!’

The comment section caught fire as lots and lots of people started to come out to give an account of how Jeslyn had always been a good person and how she would never have the heart to want to hurt Christine.

Seeing this, Manager Kate smiled and made another call. “Good job, now pull out all the pictures and videos you can find on Jeslyn and Christine’s past relationship and start to release them one after the other. That will prompt others to start giving more evidence. Who knows, there might be one or two that would be helpful to clear our artist’s name without her having to do it herself.”

After patting her head with his signature poker face, Valen said, a little louder than his usual voice. “From today henceforth, I am your backer. I will protect you from those people.”

Jeslyn looked shocked, just like the people watching. Then she laughed and pulled the boy into a tight hug.

At first, the boy seemed to be taken aback, which added fuel to the haters’ bitter hearts.

Most of them were no longer angry at Jeslyn for what she allegedly did to Christine but were rather mad from jealousy. She has been recognized by Valen and soon, it would be Maverick and Rex.

‘How dare that screw! She’s using a child!’

‘No, how dare you! Which eyes of yours saw her use a child? Did she invite the child on the stage? Did she force those words into the child’s mouth?’

‘She emotionally blackmailed the child! Stop talking rubbish, Jeslyn’s dog!’

‘Hahaha … funny how you’re quick to call someone a dog when you are worse yourself… JV Cute’s pig! You should check yourself in the mirror and see how hatred and jealousy have taken your beauty from you. Now you only rely on thick makeup to patch your worthless life, you should be ashamed!’ another commenter clapped back.

‘Ouch, that slapped hard.’

‘Hahaha… I’m loving this violence!’

‘I live for violence, please give me more!!! Hahahaha…’

‘I remembered that Valen hates to be touched. I wonder if he’ll humiliate Jeslyn as he did to his aunt in that event some years ago.’

‘I hope he does more than just humiliate her. When a gold digger is given an inch, they want to take a length.’

‘Hey you commenter up there, that is exactly what you are–A gold-digger. While Jeslyn is out there trying to make ends meet even though worthless and sinful people like you don’t want to leave her alone, you are here spouting shit behind your keyboard. If you’re even a quarter as good as Jeslyn, you won’t be sitting on a half-eaten boat with a married man in your DP. Careful, that boat might tumble and throw you into that sea. Mind you, I read from the news that there seem to be crocodiles in that sea. You can’t imagine how hungry they are.’

‘Hahaha… it’s the half-eaten boat and married man for me. I also heard that the married man’s wife is searching for you. Careful how you run your mouth on the internet these days, else the man’s wife will catch you and literally feed you to those crocodiles. Hahaha…’

‘That’s my husband and me, you hateful bigots!’

‘Hahaha… should we believe you because you said so? Look at who is calling others bigots when you’re the biggest bigot! Does it hurt that we’re jumping to conclusions and not believing you? Then think of how Jeslyn must have been feeling for close to two years that you and your likes won’t leave her alone, You mistress!’

While haters and Jeslyn’s fans that were rapidly increasing in numbers were fighting, Jeslyn and Valen were shoving dog food down everyone’s throat on stage.

After a while of hugging, Manager Kate got back on stage and whispered to Jeslyn to start the performance before she left again.

“Little man, I would love to continue with you but I have to start my performance now.” She sighed.

“That’s fine. Give me your number. We can hang out after this.” Valen said.

Oh wow, her son is so smart. Not only has he approached her in public and declared to be her backer, but he has also created an avenue where he would ask to see his mother anytime he wants without fearing that they’ll be caught by paparazzi or whatnot.

Maverick couldn’t help feeling amazed and jealous. His son has taken advantage of his age and being a ‘fan’

As for him, he can’t do the same, else rumors would start flying everywhere and it would rather damage Jeslyn’s career than do any good.

“Sure, sure,” Jeslyn collected his phone and keyed in her number. She was surprised to see that her number wasn’t on his phone.

Well, the little demon deleted her number when he plotted this scheme.

After Valen left with his phone, she got in position and the lights went out. Then the spotlight shone on her and behind her were a few dancers.

The instrumental started joyously, just enough to pass off as a party dance.

With the dancers behind her, wearing leather pants, and leather tank tops, and moving energetically to the beat, some people also started to feel the beat.

Holding the microphone to her lips, she let her mesmerizing and intoxicating voice fill everyone’s ears.

Jeslyn made everyone believe that her talent was mediocre but here she was, doing better than most superstars!

🎵 Brimming with joy as the night turns day
I was hoping for a joyful life
But the morning changed my life
And I found you standing by the restroom door
Then we were standing side by side.
As I said the most foolish words.
And you gave me one side eye…
But you made me feel whole again.
For you I would give the world
As my heart thumps just for you…..
Cause the way you made me feel,
I just can’t deny…
And from there, we knew what we want
We found love while defying the odds
We found in the weirdest place
We found love in the cutest way….
And you gave me the best gift in him.
Although he was a hard nut to crack
And I’m glad It was a success
We found love while defying the odds
We found love in the weirdest place
We found love in the cutest way…
And you gave me the best gift in V.
I love you, I’ve said that a lot
You’re my world, I’ve said that a lot
I found you when I didn’t know you exist
You accept me and weren’t angry
A child like you is all we ask for
But I know you’re a hard nut crack.
We found love while defying the odds.
We found in the weirdest place
We found love in the cutest way….
And you gave me the best gift in V…
I love you both, I swear
And I’m willing to die for you.
No matter what the world throws us
I’ll be strong to bear it all.
We found love while defying the odds.
We found in the weirdest place
We found love in the cutest way…
And you gave me the best gift in V…

A smile escaped Maverick’s lips as he watched his mesmerizing wife sing such a joyous song, composed for him and their son. What a bold move to indirectly tell the world she was married and has a son.

Valen was over the moon. He was a step away from flying onto the stage to join the dance with his mother. He was dissatisfied before but now, he’s extremely happy and willing to allow his mother to achieve her dreams.

Rex on the other hand was sulking. He pinched Celestine’s hand that was beside him and turned to look at her. However, seeing she wasn’t looking at him to prevent unnecessary gossip, he pulled out his phone and started to type furiously.

“You’ve never composed a song for me before. My sister–in–law has always been biased. She didn’t even add me to the song. So unfair. Am I not her brother–in–law?‘ he pouted.

Because Celestine didn’t check her message, Rex’s face became gloomy.

The people couldn’t get enough of Jeslyn’s song. Her voice might not be as good as VJ Cute, but her music was ten times better and the people loved the dance moves.

Even the haters had nothing to say this time. They just stayed silent as thousands of Jeslyn fans took the comment section with praises and admiration.

A while later, the dancers left and Jeslyn got ready for another song.

“The next song is dedicated to those whose families had betrayed and lost hope. I want to tell you that you aren’t alone. Someone understands you, I understand you. Even though I might not have…” she paused, leaving people in suspense and also making some believe that she was scared to continue.

“Anyway, here’s the song.”

🎵 Spirit leads me to where I am today
Even when I thought I was lost in that dark place…
Your heart reached out to me
You filled me with your bright light
And held me through my dark path
I know you are up there
I know you see me
I know you hear me
And I know you feel me
Your creature bit me so hard
And tore my flesh apart
Then laughed at how pure I was
Was it my fault that I was blind
Was it my fault that I loved whole
Was it my fault that I thought they were family.
Lord, you said to uphold kinship ties
But does that apply to the snakes in the family
Does that apply when there’s deception
It hurt, Lord it hurts
Please place my grandfather under your warmth.
Please place my mother under your protection
Please place my grandma under your care
And those that died for me…
To be free
To believe in the lie called a family
To be hopeful
That they’ll change
To be convinced that truth will win
Don’t worry Grandpa, I found solace
Don’t worry Mother, truth will prevail
I’ll take care of me
I’ll take care of them
I’ll take care of me…
I’ll take care of them…
Because we’re family
They owe me
So I’ll care for them
That’s because
You taught me to reciprocate
So don’t worry Grandpa, I found solace
Don’t worry Mother, truth will prevail
I’ll take care of me
I’ll take care of them
I’ll take care of me…
I’ll take care of them…
Because we’re family eh eh eh
Because we’re family….
Family….
Faaaaaaamilyyyy…..

“The jealous bitch’s debut sound was titled ‘Spirit Leads‘ and Jeslyn’s second debut song is also titled ‘Spirit Leads‘…‘

What is her intention? I’m too excited to say it!

‘Simple, I think she wants to beat that bitch’s song off the chart.

‘She wants to prove a point and I think it’s clear as day that Jeslyn was telling her true life story through Spirit Leads.’

‘Yeah, it seemed so to me too… Poor Jeslyn!’

‘Jeslyn is a badass! What other way to start a sweet revenge than erasing the bitch’s song? Now, when one thinks of ‘Spirit Leads’, Jeslyn’s name will come to mind.’

‘Hahahaha… that’s savage! She did it exquisitely!’

‘From the song, our Jeslyn promised revenge and I can’t wait to see how she puts that adopted witch in her place.’

‘Ooh, to think she’s truly adopted and wants to snatch the heiress’ place!’

‘Wow! Why did no one think of that before now? Indeed! I think I’ve wrapped my mind around the story. Let me analyze it. If Jeslyn had rotted in jail, the adopted jealous witch gets to inherit all properties. However, when Jeslyn was found not guilty, the adopted witch got scared that the world would criticize her, so she cooked up a scheme to make the world hate Jeslyn and sympathize with her.’

‘Exactly my thought! To add to my speculations too, the jealous witch got Jeslyn’s stepmother and father to adopt her because they were in it together.’

‘Oh my God! That’s deep!’

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 61 – 70

Christine finally came out of the bathroom, looking drained. She was called for a bath but ended up being a f*cking section.

She heard her phone ring and went to grab it. Although she had smashed it earlier, nothing happened to it.

On the screen was Assistant Miles’ ID, so she picked up the call. “What do you want?” She asked with a tinge of rage in her voice. It wasn’t clear if she was angry at Miles or Young Master Wu.

“Miss Christine, I think you should go online, things don’t look too good. The PR can’t seem to do anything and the water Army we got also can’t turn the tables because the other side hired water Armies too!”

“Haha, am I a PR? Do I have superpowers to kill all the commenters? Oh, You want me to go online because things don’t look good? So when I see the bad things, I should get angry and die of heart attack so you can sit on my property, is that what your intentions are?!”

“Miss, What are you talking about?”

“You know exactly what I’m talking about!! Don’t play dumb with me! Listen, Miles, I don’t care how or what you do. If by tomorrow I’m in a bad light, be ready to face my wrath. You should be more than aware of what I’m capable of.”

Christine disconnected the call and sat on her bed. She wanted to lie back in bed and cover her naked body with the duvet but the curiosity to know what is happening on Jeslyn’s end got the better of her and she entered the internet.

Seeing the crowd Jeslyn had performed for, Christine was flabbergasted. The music had ended, so she didn’t hear the song. Jeslyn was still standing on stage, sweating and trying to catch her breath while the crowd was clapping and screaming her name.

A while later, she saw the big shots sending her flowers on stage.

Christine’s grip on her phone tightened and her jaw clenched while her eyes turned red as tears of anger ran down her cheeks.

“How is this possible?” Her jealousy flared. “Why does she always find ways to outshine me? Why?! She had a wealthy family who loved her so much, a rich boyfriend, even after they were destroyed, she got herself a wealthy and powerful husband. Now this? What about me? Why do I always have to be below you, Jeslyn? Why?!” Angry tears ran down her face.

Christine was furious. She hated Jeslyn’s progress with every fiber in her. It could have been her. Everything that Jeslyn owned should have been hers. Why did Jeslyn deserve all the goodness while she was born to be Jeslyn’s backdrop? Why was Jeslyn born a happy child who didn’t have to fight for anything while she was made from a tender age to learn how to scheme to get what she deserved?

“Not anymore! If I can’t ruin Jeslyn, then she must die!”

With that conclusion in mind, Christine’s eyes lit up and she immediately dialed Assistant Miles’ number.

“To redeem yourself, get well-trained men to kill her. I’ll transfer the money to you right now. Miles, I don’t want failure. If you don’t succeed and they come looking for me, bear in mind that you’ll be my sacrificial lamb, unless you are smart enough to get one prepared for yourself… And don’t think about telling my sister because, honestly, I’ll kill you if she finds out.”

After making the call, she decided to go through the comments. At least, they planted people in the comment section to bring Jeslyn down. She thought.

Going through the comments, Christine couldn’t believe her eyes. Jeslyn’s debut had Tens of millions of views in just a few hours. She’s still on stage! She hasn’t even left yet, she has so many views!

Comments, views, shares, and likes were still coming and from what the algorithm captured at the moment, there were tens of millions of views, tens of thousands of shares, tens of millions of likes, and millions of comments!

It was as if the world was watching Jeslyn’s performance. Both haters, fans, and fence sitters–especially those seeking entertainment from comment sections, left the place messy with barrage of funny comments.

Under one comment, there would be hundreds of replies and reactions.

The free publicity was just too much for Christine that she started crying again. This time, she couldn’t figure out what exactly was causing her to cry this much.

Was it jealousy? Definitely!
What about anger? Check!
Hatred? Obviously!
Envy? Absolutely!

She couldn’t help it. It was annoying and she needed to kill Jeslyn as soon as possible. The ‘genius detectives’ online were already speculating about her fight with Jeslyn. Some were on the right track and others were just guessing.

Even their schoolmates and some celebrities she suppressed before in Rose City were coming out to add salt to injury.

“What is going on?” Young Master Wu’s voice sounded before he walked out of the bathroom, naked.
