THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 11 – 20
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 18
Maverick ignored that statement and stood in front of his wife. He looked at her from head to toe before asking, “Are you hurt anywhere?”
Jeslyn smiled and shook her head, “I’m fine.”
He kissed his wife’s forehead before stretching his hand towards the direction of the door. In seconds, Code 2 walked in and handed Maverick a gun.
With everyone still wondering what was about to happen, Maverick pointed the gun at Catherine. Without a single word said, bang! A bullet flew out of the gun and lurched straight into Catherine’s heart.
Davis was still in shock. Before he could gather himself, bang! Another bullet left Maverick’s gun and hit Davis on his shoulder, causing his gun to fall from his hand.
Screams from the staff and customers filled the air as Davis’ men rushed down from upstairs while Maverick’s men rushed in from the entrance.
The place became messy as both sides held each other at gunpoint.
Davis watched as Catherine breathed her last in his hands before he laid her to sleep on the floor.
With his other hand, Davis picked up his gun and pointed it at Maverick.
“You’re a daring bastard, aren’t you?” He asked with his smirk.
Maverick didn’t utter a word. He was just staring at Davis as he was suppressing his anger.
“The brotherhood would love to know this. I promise you, you’ll regret this!”
“You killed your woman, you idiot.” Rex finally spoke up. “My brother doesn’t get involved in women’s fights even though his wife is getting defeated. Your woman caused trouble. She spread lies about my sister-in-law and also wanted to intimidate her. You were standing up there without calling her to place. But when my sister-in-law fought back, you suddenly jumped out of your hiding to fight a weak woman. Aren’t you ashamed? This is why my brother calls you a weakling…”
Rex paused and took a step forward while in a deep thought.
“Ah, by the way, your actions today only meant one thing. You sent your wife to test the waters. If my sister-in-law alone had come here today, that was how you and your woman would have bullied her and probably killed her. Isn’t it?”
Rex spoke what was in everyone’s mind. Some of them saw Davis standing on the stairs while watching his woman cause trouble. Now that she was killed, he dared to blame others.
Davis didn’t deny or admit to anything. He narrowed his eyes at Jeslyn who was standing beside Maverick before saying; “Ever since you came into his life, you’ve been using him as a backing to ruin things for people you shouldn’t be messing it. When they’ll come for you, I’ll know where you’ll hide.”
“It seems you don’t get tired talking bullshit! My sister-in-law has never caused troubles for anyone and if, by chance, anyone dares to rile her up, or bully her because he feels he’s stronger than her, I, Rex won’t mind sacrificing my life to bring that person down, so Davis, are you willing to die with me?”
All what Rex said flew right over Davis’ head. He was frustrated that everything he had been saying couldn’t get Maverick to argue with him. The bastard still sees him as a nobody that deserves his attention.
Angered, Davis said; “Maverick, you’ve broken the code of formalities between us. From now on, I won’t be humble! Don’t be surprised that your wife leaves the house and doesn’t return.” With that said, he was about to walk away when a gunshot sound was heard.
“Bang!”
Maverick shot the place Davis was about to step on.
“Touch a hair on her head and I’ll make you beg for death.” Maverick’s voice when he made that declaration, wasn’t loud. He didn’t even say it with emotions but those who heard it felt a chill.
His words reeked of the evil person he was. Even Jeslyn was not left out. His aura at the moment, reminded her of the first day they met and also the aura he was exuding when she thought he killed Ray.
“You’ve finally spoken? Haha, for a moment, I thought you were a mute. However, because you feel I can’t kill her doesn’t mean others won’t. But let me remind you, bro, you just killed my woman and I won’t stand back without avenging her.” He smirked before turning around and leaving, with his guards carrying his dead woman.
Jeslyn sighed after they left. “I think I’ve caused trouble again.”
Maverick glanced at her before pulling her to himself. “You did nothing wrong.”
“I know I’m not wrong, but I feel like I’ve fallen into a deep scheme.”
“Mn… They’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time,” he said.
“Now that they’ve gotten what they wanted, it will be dangerous now, right?” she asked.
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it.” He kissed her on the head.
*Inside the car…*
Jeslyn couldn’t stop herself from asking the question that has been bothering her.
“Plum, since you know that Davis has been scheming around you, why did you stay quiet?”
“He didn’t. The fight is not Davis’. The organization is getting ready to take things by force, so they sent Davis to test the waters and the idiot used his woman. Now that my brother has taken action, he has to strike immediately, there’s no going back.” Rex explained.
“But those people are powerful. They have control over the satellite and everybody. How are you going to fight them? Plum, are you sure this is ok?” Jeslyn was genuinely worried. Pink and Blue make her understand the power those people held. If Maverick wants to fight them, he has to be more powerful.
Maverick pulled her hands in his and slowly started to rub them.
“Don’t worry, you and our son will be safe.”
“And you? What about you and Rex?” Jeslyn frowned.
“Valen wants us to give him a sister, I won’t leave you unless I’ve fulfilled his wish.”
Hearing the shameless words that came out of his father’s lips, Valen rolled his eyes in disgust. ‘He’s blackmailing her,’ he thought.
“Stop being cheeky, I’m serious here,” Jeslyh lightly slapped his hand and pouted, causing him to laugh out loud.
“I’m serious. I’ve set things in place.” He pulled her close and kissed her lips to stop her from worrying. But his kiss didn’t help Jeslyn at all, rather, it got her more worried.
The paparazzi who had been taking pictures, smiled broadly after successfully getting his hands on Jeslyn’s secret. Who cares if it would destroy her reputation? So far he gets his hands on cold money!
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 11 – 20
The family of four got home safely but before Jeslyn could go into the house, Maverick called her back and took her to the underground basement.
In there was Emilee, Young Master Wu, and Christine all sitting around the cell.
Young Master Wu and Emilee looked battered. From the look of things, they’ve fought and had exhausted their strength.
“Oh, you got them before I did,” Jeslyn smiled.
“You were wasting too much time.” He replied.
“That’s right. She has stayed too long on earth… Hey, Christine, your hope has been dashed, right? I told you,” Jeslyn beamed at Christine who was staring daggers at her.
“Jeslyn, do you think everything will be fine if you kill us? It won’t bring your grandfather back, nor will you ever get the inheritance that I took from you! You lost everything, so there’s no victory for you, but rather, you’ve been consumed by revenge that you’ve become soulless, just like me. In no time, you’ll surpass me in wickedness and–”
Jeslyn sighed and shook her head. “I had no idea that you love to talk so much. I might have lost my family as you said, but not my inheritance and my mom.” Seeing the frown on Emilee’s face, she smiled and continued.
“Ah, you mustn’t have known. Damien already bought his forgiveness with the original document that you thought you hid perfectly. Also, my mom is still alive. Not only that, all the wealth you’ve gathered for so long have been transferred to me. As your only living family member, aren’t I smart?”
“Y– you, how did you– how?!” Emilee panicked.
“Is that a question from an Intelligent person like you? Oh my God! I’m busted to have thought you were smart. Hahaha… anyway, I don’t have much time to spare, I need to go clear my reputation that you’ve tried so hard to damage, but before that, here’s what we’ll do.
“There are three of you in there, but only one person is allowed to walk out of here alive, so best of luck … Christine, I’d be glad if you can make it out alive, you know I promised you something and I haven’t fulfilled it yet.”
Those words sent a chill down their spines. Never in a million years would anyone think that a pretty and sweet lady like Jeslyn would have such a wicked idea in her mind.
Asking them to fight a battle royale is too much! But what can they do? In fact, the person who loved this idea the most was Young Master Wu.
He had never stopped blaming the sisters for how his life and that of his family’s turned out. If it wasn’t for the sisters, he would have still been fine right now.
“Emilee, I won’t let you off!” Young Master Wu rushed to the wall and grabbed a spiked chain. Seeing this, Emilee also grabbed a sword.
They were both tired but in the face of death and freedom, they suddenly found strength.
As the fight was about to begin, Maverick pulled Jeslyn out of the cell.
“You’ll be Emilee’s target if you stay behind.”
Jeslyn knew that too, so she stayed quietly in her husband’s arms as they watched the fierce and hate-filled battle that was going on. She didn’t tell them to fight but since they chose battle royale, who was she to not accept the entertainment?
Christine was screaming and begging Jeslyn to stop. She doesn’t know how to fight, so all she could do was run around the cell, bawling her eyes out, swearing, cursing, and saying whatever hateful words she could utter.
“I’ll stop the fight on one condition,” Jeslyn said.
Hearing that, Christine’s eyes lit up as she ran to the bars, holding them for dear life. Her aggressive tone a moment ago disappeared. “I’m willing to obey, please I don’t want to die, let me out!”
“At the Lu hospital, there’s a two-year-old child who needs blood. Her parent’s blood doesn’t match hers and the child’s parents are old people. The child is also the only offspring they have–”
“I’ll donate my blood!” she said without hesitation.
“Mn, I know… There’s also another child who will be dying soon because her kidneys are bad. Would you like to run a test and see if you match?”
“Ki– ki– kidney?”
“No, Kidneys… don’t skip the ‘s’ that’s selfish.”
“Jeslyn, have you gone mad?!!!” Christine roared.
“Definitely not. If at all, I’m being an angel who wants to save those kids because they deserve to live, unlike you. Christine,” Jeslyn started walking slowly towards the bar gate.
“Do you remember, when you came into our lives, you were sick and after you were tested, we found out you had kidney issues? Guess what happened.”
Christine couldn’t remember anything because she was still very young then.
“My mom wanted to give you her kidney but it wasn’t a match. Mine was also tested but failed. We searched for it and in the end, a family sold their dying child’s kidney for you to live. So don’t you think you should return the kidney my mom bought you?”
“Jeslyn, you–”
“Did you forget what I told you in the restroom? I said I’d take back every single thing my mom gave you.”
“Jeslyn, don’t go too far!!” Emilee thundered after killing Young Master Wu who gave her serious injuries that she couldn’t stand still.
“I don’t bark back at dogs, they bark while I discipline them if they become unreasonable.”
“Are you calling me a dog?” Emilee’s veins were about to snap from how stretched and visible they were. She was trying very hard to look sophisticated like she used to but every word that Jeslyn uttered was like a sharp sword piercing her heart.
“Weren’t you just barking? So what are you if not a dog?”
“Jeslyn!!” Emilee tried to pick herself up but couldn’t. Her legs were badly injured.
“I thought as much, so shut up, dog!”
She turned to look at Christine and continued; “What do you say? Are you willing?”
“No! I won’t give you what you want, never!”
Jeslyn nodded, “then the rule still stands. Only one person can leave.”
The sisters looked at Jeslyn, what game is she playing with them? She obviously wants them to kill each other!
