CHAPTER 64
“I watched Jeslyn’s show and saw how affectionate she was with my nephew, her son. It made me realize that I never got such love and affection from you for the longest I can remember… She’s just an inexperienced young mother, yet knows how to care for her child’s mental health.
Mom, Jeslyn just reunited with Valen, but she’s able to create a large space for herself in his heart.
But in your case, none of your children feels the need to want to have you as their mother. Tell me Mom, why did you give birth to us? Is it only to help you rise in ranks?! And to show off to the world that you were once the richest woman?!!!… ”
“Paah!” Madam Caroline slapped Piper’s cheeks really hard. Nothing Piper said pained her more than reminding her that she was no longer the richest woman after Maverick took all of her money and gave it to that cursed girl.
“How dare you question my parenting, you ungrateful bastard!! I raised you alone when your worthless father abandoned you! I–”
“You can keep lying to yourself, Mom!! Push me away too, just like you pushed my brothers away! You’ll die lonely!!!” Piper turned and ran out of the house after her outburst.
Madam Caroline froze for a long time. Never in her wildest imagination did she think that Piper would ever insult her like this.
The narcissistic woman wasn’t going to take it lightly. Whether Piper likes it or not, she must fulfill her part as a dutiful daughter. For all she went through at the hands of the Xu family, Piper will have to compensate her by going out with Feng Long and helping her get those people’s wealth.
All the money that Maverick took from her, she’s reclaiming them by taking other people’s money and the lady won’t stop until she gets back to being the richest woman in the world.
With that in mind, she fished for her phone in her handbag and made two calls.
“My daughter is leaving the house, send her to Feng Long’s house.” After that, she called Feng Long.
“Son, your fiance seems to be at it again. My men will send her to you… seal the bond between you two so she doesn’t leave you for that riffraff again.”
She squinted her eyes and a vicious smile settled on her lips.
“Piper, I’m your mother and I have the right to choose where the direction of your life should be. I made the mistake of allowing your brothers to slip out of my hands, but certainly not you!”

Piper got into her white car and her Chauffeur asked; “Where are you heading, Miss?”
“Take me to my brothers,” she wiped her tears.
“Ok, Miss.” The chauffeur started the car and Piper started to think of all her mother said to her.
How could her mother be so callous? She doesn’t care about her children’s lives or their happiness. Thinking back to all that she could remember from a young age, her mother had always been like this, self-centered, greedy, and wicked! How could a mother have the heart to treat her children like this…
“Is she really my mother?”
Lost in her small world, Piper had no idea that her Chauffeur was heading in the wrong direction. Soon, her eyes started to feel heavy, so she turned her face to the window, hoping the wind would help her stay awake.
Meanwhile, Brian was riding his latest blue car along the same road, thinking of the article the media has published again, his lips curled into a smile.
Not long after, his phone rang. It was a call from his manager who immediately barked at him for not caring about his reputation again.
“You fool, what are you doing?! Are you hell-bent on ruining your career?? Why didn’t you tell me that you kissed Piper?!!”
Instead of getting angry, Brian burst out laughing.
“Brother Xie, don’t be like that. If I don’t do that, how am I going to pick on her again? I was thinking someone would release the gossip to the media, so since no one did, I decided to do it myself.”
A thunderous roar came from the other end, forcing Brian to shift the phone away from his ear.
“Are you aware of the consequences?! Your image is at stake!!!”
“What’s at stake? Isn’t it a movie scene?” Brian shamelessly yawned and continued: “Big brother, I’m feeling sleepy while driving. Do you want me to get into an acci–”
“Beep! Beep! Beep!!”
Brian chuckled and pressed the button on his earpod. “Piper, watch how I break you in this industry.”
The minute he finished saying that, he saw Piper’s car speeding over. “Speaking of the devil,” he snorted and a disgusted look settled on his face.
Zooming past her car from her side, Brian saw Piper looking out the window. Her eyes looked soulless with tears running down her cheeks.
He subconsciously frowned and in no time, he turned to face the road. Even though his car had gone a long way, that vulnerable image couldn’t leave his mind.
Because he couldn’t place his fingers on what could have been the reason for the self-centered and proud Piper to forget about her image in public, Brian’s mind grew restless.
“F*ck!” He slammed his hands on the steering before he made a U-turn and accelerated to catch up with the car that had disappeared out of his sight.
The more he trailed the distant car, the more his brows furrowed. They had long left the city and were in the woods now.
“Where the f*ck is she going?” He mumbled. Even though Brian knew he shouldn’t be concerned, he couldn’t stop himself from following.
The ringtone of his phone startled him and when he answered the call through his earpod, he realized it was from one of his assistants.
“Brother Brian, where are you? I’ve brought the suit to your place but can’t find you anywhere?” The voice said.
“Perfect timing. Track my phone and tell me where I am heading to.” Brian instructed.
“Huh? You don’t know where you are? Have you by any chance lost your way in the city again?!”
“Stop yelling and just do it ah, be fast about it.” Brian hurried him.
A sigh left the Assistant’s lips before he got the laptop and started to track Brian’s GPS.
Brian is the first human who lives in Country M, yet knows nowhere except the places he frequented.
“Brother Brian, what are you doing in the woods outside of the city?!”
“Oh, what part of the City is this?” Brian asked.
“The southern part. It’s a very dangerous place.”
“Why is it dangerous and who resides in this area?” If no one lives around here, why would Piper go here?
“There’ve been reports that people go missing when they go there and the authorities can’t find anything no matter how hard they try. As for who lives there, give me a little time to hack into the housing department’s database.” The Assistant replied while his fingers flew through the keyboard.
With the way he types with fast speed, it was obvious there was more to him than meets the eye.
After a few minutes, he reported: “There’s only one house in the woods and it’s Feng Long’s holiday house.”
“Screeeech!” Brian’s car came to a halt and his aura flared. So he has been following that slut for almost two hours, not knowing he was escorting her to her boyfriend’s house!
“Brother Brian, what’s the matter?” The voice from his earpod pulled him back to life.
“Nothing. I’ll see you in three hours.” He ended the call and was about to turn around when he saw the car in front of him had left the road.
Brian frowned. On second thought, Piper wouldn’t come to a place like this. She would rather meet Feng Long in the city. Even though Piper was a bitch, Brian knew her more than he knew his parents. From years of being with her, he knew that Piper was a nut; hard on the surface and soft in the inside. She was the type that screams when she sees a cockroach, so why would she endanger her life knowing that she might lose her life here?
So there was nothing that would make her come here ALONE to meet up with Feng Long whom she hates.
Also, remembering how he saw her in her car, Brian got the idea that something was wrong. With that in mind, he fired on and zoomed through the road, careful like he had been doing to not be caught that he was trailing.
Once he got to where Piper’s car was parked, Brian got down and scouted the location before he saw a modern farmhouse up ahead.
“What am I even doing here?” Although he asked, his legs didn’t stop moving. “She would think I cared enough to poke-nose. I shouldn’t mind her life and death like her brothers, so why am I not going back?” He ruffled his messy hair in frustration.
He should be loving ladies like Jeslyn and not that slut, Piper but why isn’t his heart going in the direction that he wants it to go? This is just too unfair!
Getting closer to the house, Brian saw that the house was protected by a heavy team of guards.
“F*ck!” He cursed. “What am I supposed to do now? I can’t walk in there like it’s my house, can I? Neither am I in the mood to take lives.” He sighed but continued walking forward.
Whatever happens, Feng Long wouldn’t dare to order his death. So he thought.

*Inside the house…*
An unconscious Piper was carried into the bedroom and gently placed on the bed.
“It’s getting late, you should leave.” Feng Long said to the chauffeur who nodded and was about to leave when he paused.
He wanted to tell him about the blue car that trailed him but because he wasn’t sure if the car was really trailing him, he brushed the matter away and walked out.
Feng Long sat by the edge of the bed, staring longingly at the sleeping Piper. He has no intention of raping her. Even though Maverick and Rex seem not to care about her, who knows, they might suddenly care if she is humiliated, and getting on their bad side was something he wouldn’t dare to try.
The handsome young man got up and left the room.
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 61 – 70
The sky had been shrouded in a thick blanket of darkness, still, Brian was lying on a tree, close to the house. He didn’t leave, neither did he advance and worst of all, his phone had gone off.
At this time of the night, the woods looked spooky and exceptionally quiet.
“What is that idiot doing at a place like this and why would the government allow them to build a house here?” He murmured while chewing on a leaf for fun. He was bored.
Not long later, he heard Piper’s scream coming from the house.
“Excellent. Why is she crying?” He rolled his eyes before jumping down from the tree and started heading to the house.
The closer he got to the house, the louder Piper’s voice got until she went silent.
Brian’s heart thumped as a weird feeling flickered through his heart.
This is not good!
He doubled his steps and soon started running.
“Who is it?! Show yourself!” One of the guards cried out, alerting the rest of the guards who immediately stood alert with their guns pointed.
From nowhere, Brian jumped into view. Like a spirit, he swiftly rendered one useless by striking him on the side of his neck and taking his gun.
His movement wasn’t noiseless, so the nearest guard started to shoot at him.
Using the unconscious guard as a shield from the incoming bullets, Brian killed the two guards closest to him before getting the freedom he required to start a face-off with the others.

*Inside the house…*
Feng Long had dragged Piper inside a sub-basement. It was a clean space with proper furniture, However, being in there felt like being stuck in a hole; no windows, no doors, and one can’t hear sounds coming from outside.
“Wh– what are you doing?! Let me go!” Piper panicked when she saw the Young innocent–looking guy staring at her with pity.
