THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 1 – 10
SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 9
His helmet broke into pieces and he got some serious injury on his head, prompting blood to cover a part of his injured face.
While Rex was battling between life and death from the gunshot wound and the heavy fall that probably dislocated or broke a few bones in his body, he heard a shrill sound coming from a lady.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 1 – 10
Soon, the owner of the crying voice appeared and knelt in front of him, trying to carry him off the group but Rex believed she wasn’t strong enough to, so she started crying and begging for help. That was all that Rex could recall before he lost consciousness.
When he woke up after a few months, he went in search of his savior and discovered that she was going through tough times at the hands of her relatives.
To pay her back for saving his life, Rex went after her but realized she didn’t know him. So without telling her who he was, Rex became her knight in shining armor and blessed her beyond imagination.
“So, it was her?” Celestine asked. She was also aware of this matter. However, she had no time to care about who saved Rex because she was more than worried about him.
Celestine spent all her free time in the hospital with Rex when he was in a coma. She didn’t allow nurses to watch over him whenever she was around.
“Yes, she was,” Rex replied with a distant look in his eyes.
When he woke up from a coma, he was told that he was shot by an assassin who was adept at snipers. Nobody offends Maverick and goes scot-free.
As for the bully, he was killed by Piper when she found out what he did to Rex.
“Fine. So what’s up with you and the Princess?”
Rex lowered his eyes to stare at her face before smiling. “Nothing; I just had fun riling you up yesterday.”
“Oh really? But what I saw was different from just having fun. That girl is into you.”
“Of course, she would. I’m incredible after all.”
Celestine closed her eyes and took a deep breath to remain sane before saying; “That girl–” she changed her mind and stopped speaking. If there should be any trouble arising because of his carelessness and stupidity, he alone will handle it. So she thought.
A few hours later, Celestine and Rex were invited for an after-party hangout.
The Princess was shocked to see Rex walking into the large hall with Celestine, hand in hand, so she immediately turned to her father and pouted in displeasure.
Her father reassured her that everything will be fine.
Halfway through the party, the King called everyone’s attention to his announcement.
“I’m honored to have you all grace my birthday party, even the second branch of the Lu family also came. I’d like to see it as a process to finally get Alpha Chaos’ attention.” He and others laughed over the ‘joke’ that wasn’t far from the truth.
After the laughter had died down, the King continued. “This birthday was also a means for our oldest princess to look through the young men that would be present and make her pick. She’s already 25 and should be leaving my protection.”
“Hahahaha…!” The guests laughed once more. They knew how crazy the King was about his oldest daughter, so what he just said was undoubtedly a joke.
Besides, the King doesn’t have a son, making the oldest princess the heir to the throne, but in Country X, a woman cannot be the King for different reasons, which leaves whoever the princess marries the opportunity to become the King.
For that reason, there are many suitors lined up to marry her but the Oldest Princess doesn’t want any.
The King continued after a little pause; “However, our Princess didn’t have to wait for this day before an outstanding man stole her heart. She was delighted when she informed me about the matters of her heart and I couldn’t agree more with her choice.”
Few of the people’s eyes settled on Rex. From how cozy he and the princess were yesterday, it was obvious he is that man. Most people weren’t pleased, but couldn’t voice their dissatisfaction either, after all, he is Rex Lu, Alpha Chaos’ brother, another ruthless bastard!
When Celestine heard that, she tightened her hold on Rex. Feeling the strong hold on his arm, Rex smiled and glanced at her.
Oh, how he loves that feeling of possessiveness!
The King continued and said; “I will leave my daughter to announce who that lucky man is.” After his words fell, the oldest Princess got up and walked elegantly toward the crowd.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 1 – 10
On getting to Rex’s front, she ignored the closeness between Rex and Celestine. Everyone knows that Celestine is in Alpha Chaos’ circle, which automatically makes Celestine and Rex good friends.
Secondly, her mind told her that the two were a couple but because they didn’t make whatever they have public, the Princess believed that they were just having fun.
With that thought in mind, she thought it wouldn’t be a problem choosing Rex.
“I want Rex, Dadd,” she proclaimed with a shy smile on her face while trying to hold Rex’s hand.
Celestine’s brows furrowed slightly as annoyance washed over her. Rex, on the other hand, smiled and pulled his hand away from the Princess’ hold.
“Dear Princess, this naughty boy is in a serious relationship. I have a fiance, I’m sorry.”
Collective gasps broke out among the guests. While some were happy, some felt unconcerned, while others felt the need to speak up… among those who spoke up was Davis Xu’s brother who also had an eye for the Princess.
“Rex, you’re so brazen, aren’t you?”
Rex’s side–eyed him and snorted; “When does a nobody like you get to voice your opinion in my matters?”
“You–”
“If you like the Princess so much, why not man up and go after her?” He rolled his eyes and bowed slightly to the King.
“Your Majesty, this Nobel one would like to call it a day. Thank you for the warm welcome.”
However, the King was not pleased at all. Instead of allowing Rex to leave, he didn’t and wanted to show how angry he was.
“Young Master Rex, did you realize you just slapped me across the face?”
“No, your Majesty. I don’t think I have done such,” he replied.
“Dad, please don’t be angry, Young Master Rex was shocked and spoke out of ignorance.” The Princess tried to leave a leeway for Rex but the idiot didn’t need it.
“Thank you for speaking on my behalf, princess. However, I stand by what I said. You are a beautiful young lady with many men lined up, asking for your hand in marriage. I’m sorry I’m not one of those men because I have a fiance who I wouldn’t dare to go against.”
Just after he proclaimed that again, reporters came from nowhere and swamped around them, shoving mics into their faces.
*…Presently…*
Celestine sighed after remembering how they got into this mess. What else can be done if not to reveal their relationship status to the world? It was all Rex’s fault, she thought.
The gasps from everyone pulled Celestine back from her stupor. She looked around her before it occurred to her that Rex just kissed her in front of everyone.
“Celestine and I are engaged. Please, excuse us.” He bowed to the King, held Celestine’s hand, and pulled her away.
Nobody stopped them this time. What can the King do? Unless he was ready to bear Alpha Chaos’ anger, but far from it.
Although fighting Alpha Chaos might be achievable, however, he has more to lose if he does. Secondly, the Sovereign hasn’t given anyone the authority to touch Chaos.
The Princess was beyond heartbroken when her fear became a reality. She wanted Rex so badly but what can she do when he doesn’t want her?
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 1 – 10
Ever since the day Rex dropped Valen at his parent’s house and left to bring his woman back, Valen had been silently making life difficult for his father.
The other day, he proposed an outing with his mother but Maverick approved with the condition that he came along, something Valen wasn’t happy about.
Valen knew that going together with his father would automatically mean he would be pushed aside, so he formulated a plan when Beverly came to visit.
Valen, Jeslyn, and Beverly were dining when Valen broke the silence.
“Aunt, you’re Uncle Fin’s wife, right?”
Beverly smiled and responded; “Yes, dear.”
Valen slowly nodded. “I can perceive that you and my mom are good friends.”
Jeslyn kept watching her son with narrowed eyes, wondering what her dear son was up to. Normally, Valen wouldn’t suck up to someone or try to make them feel good before diving into his matters unless he was cooking something.
Seeing Beverly nodding in response, Valen smiled with his lips sealed. “Why don’t you come with us? We are going on a picnic. Since you and my mom are really good friends and Uncle Fin is my daddy’s best friend, a picnic will be great with you both coming along.”
Jeslyn smiled and joined in, “Valen is right. You should join us on this picnic with Inspector Fin. After all, you two just made up after an interesting fight.” she chuckled.
Beverly was happy. She wanted to pat Valen’s head but he ducked. Though she didn’t feel awkward because they all knew Valen hates being touched.
While they were talking and laughing, Piper walked in and smiled at the people at the table. “Sister-in-law, Beverly, Valen.”
“Hi, Piper,” Beverly greeted.
“You’re finally out,” Jeslyn said with beaming eyes.
“Sorry, I was busy when the maid came to inform me about food.”
“You got a chance to speak with Brian again?”
“Yes,” Piper took a deep breath.
“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re already missing him so much.”
“Aren’t you missing my brother right now?” she sat down and picked up the spoon on the table, then scooped a spoonful of rice. As she was about to open her mouth to accept the food, she paused and said; “He won’t be coming back to the Country anymore,” she said sadly.
Jeslyn’s hand froze in the air when she heard that. She raised her head to look at Piper, “What did you say?”
Piper sighed dejectedly. She doesn’t have the appetite to eat anything now that she’s been reminded of what Brian told her.
“How is that fair? What about his career?” Jeslyn grew angry with different thoughts running through her mind. How could Brian be held back?
“I also don’t know. It’s so annoying.” she bemoaned.
Jeslyn wanted to say more but seeing how sad Piper was, she didn’t go on and rather changed the topic. “How about you join us for a picnic to calm your heart a little? I’m sure Brian won’t leave you alone like that. He might be playing pranks on you.”
Piper’s eyes lit up when she heard about the picnic with her family but it felt unbelievable to her, “Can I really come along?” she asked with excitement.
Valen rolled his eyes and snorted. “Mom, I’ll be in my room.” he got up and was ready to leave when he paused on his steps. “Since you’re bringing her along, you should bring the other lady too. That one will also be excited like she just won the lottery,” he rolled his eyes and walked out.
Piper sighed and shook her head, “He still doesn’t like me.”
“Did you offend him in the past?” Jeslyn raised a brow. Although Valan hasn’t warmed up to Kimberly, he doesn’t treat her with disgust as he does Piper.
Piper felt ashamed to say why Valen hates her. How can she tell them that the child doesn’t like her because he knows her secret? Piper understood that no child would like an aunt who is having sexual feelings for their father.
“Yes, I treated him wrongly in the past and I’m sure he won’t forgive me. But I deserved it though.” she smiled awkwardly.
Jeslyn stared at her for a while before she resumed her meal. “I hope he forgets everything and warms up to you. A family’s unity is very important.”
