THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 21 – 30
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 29
At this junction, Rex finally understood that his brother was dead serious. Dr. Matt, who hadn’t spoken to him ever since he started dating Celestine, would do as his brother suggested.
Rex looked at the man in his white lab coat. “You won’t obey my brother, will you?”
“I’m not obliged to take orders from anyone; I do what I feel is best for situations.” He replied while sorting through the injections on a long white desk.
“Come on, man! It’s been months already. You should let it go; Celeste chose me! F*ck!”
Doc Matt moved his head to momentarily observe Rex, “Stop thinking nonsense. I’m a married man.”
Rex gasped. “The monk finally got married? How?! When?! Where?!”
“You’re over-exerting yourself. Your injury is not healed yet. It would help if you stopped talking too much. Don’t give me more work, else I’d hand your case to another doctor,” he said begrudgingly and ignored him.
The guy isn’t happy today. Last night, he couldn’t resist after the hot foreplay section between him and his wife. In the end, she forced him to have her. He thought he could control it, but unlike Maverick, he ended up making Lolita bleed heavily. After all, it was his first time. Although she’s getting treated, he knows he got to be there, by her side, because he caused it.
Rex put aside his brother’s problem at the back of his mind to milk Doc Matt for gossip.

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 21 – 30
Maverick joined Jeslyn for the night and tired her out so much that she wouldn’t wake up even by the afternoon of the next day.
In the middle of the night, Code 2, 10, and about fifty more men from Maverick’s hidden army spread out in Maverick’s sitting room, armed with guns and bullets.
A moment later, Maverick walked down the stairs and ensured they were ready before bringing them to the red room.
As the men marched up the stairs with full momentum, they didn’t spot Valen, who was looking down at them from the top lander. After they’ve all gone, the child ran down the stairs.
Maverick opened the large door to the red room and allowed his men to go in one after the other. Just as he was about to go in;
“Dad,” Valen stood at the end of the hallway.
Maverick paused and looked to his right.
“Where are you going?” He started taking little steps towards him.
“I’m going away for a while.” He couldn’t tell his son the truth.
“I can see that, Dad. Did Mom know you’re leaving her?”
Maverick shook his head.
“She’ll wake up feeling heartbroken, Dad.”
“She has you.”
Valen shook his head, “I’m not enough… she needs you and me to make her whole.” he stood in front of his father, looking up at him… he’s too tall, he thought.
Maverick squatted on one knee and held him by the shoulder, “Didn’t you say you loved her more than I do? Didn’t you say that it’s your birthright to be with her? I’m giving you that birthright now; take care of her until I return.”
Valen stared at his father in the eyes and saw determination. Nothing he or anyone says now will change his mind, so he nodded. “I’ll do as you say but promise me, Dad… promise me that you’ll return safely.”
Maverick flattened his lips, and his grip on his son’s shoulder tightened.
“You are scared too,” Valen exposed him. “You are not sure about your return, so how can we trust you?”
Maverick didn’t say a thing and just kept looking at his son.
“When I grow up, I will be a better version of you… for Mom, you, my siblings, and Uncle. If you don’t make it alive, I’ll make sure Mom doesn’t forgive you.”
Maverick smiled, pulled his son closer, and hugged him, “I promise, I’ll be back.”
Valen returned the hug as his eyes welled up in tears that he was suppressing. He pulled away from the hug and held his father’s face, then planted a soft kiss on his forehead.
“I know that Grandma and Grandpa never did that before. I’m the first to show you love like that, and I expect repayment.” He sniffed back the tears, but they were too stubborn as they fell like beads in a thread on his cheeks.
Maverick ruffled his hair and got to his feet. “Take care of your mother,” he repeated one last time before he turned to leave but felt a bit of resistance.
When he looked back, Valen held the helm of his black cloak that stopped below his knee.
“Can I take a look at what the red room looks like?… It’s my parting wish.”
Maverick deliberated for a moment before he carried Valen in his arms and walked into the red room.
As the name suggested, the red was a dim-red office room; however, Valen couldn’t see the people who just entered a while ago. He looked at his father; the man understood what he was thinking, so he gave him a key card to the large door.
“After I leave, go out and lock the door. Look for your Uncle and hand the key to him… don’t give it to your mom, and ensure that she knows nothing about it.”
Valen nodded and watched his father sit on the office chair. Within seconds, a bright light came from nowhere, and he vanished before him.
Valen’s lips fell apart, and he slowly started to walk backwards until his back hit the door. The little boy fell to his knees and gradually let his tears flow until his muffled cries turned into heartbreaking wails. His father just left, yet he’s already missing him.

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 21 – 30
In an unknown place, the bright light shone down on a seat that was located in the middle of about fifty more seats. Maverick’s silhouette slowly manifested before Maverick’s whole body was in view.
Sitting on the other seats were all the men that Maverick took along.
Once the light disappeared, he slowly opened his eyes to the large screen and computer equipment in front of him. He looked around; all his men had the same equipment, just that Maverick’s own was more significant with additional gadgets.
“Once you put on the headset, your consciousness will travel into another world. If you died there, you are dead here. Are you ready?”
“Yes, boss!” they chorused.
“One more thing, abort the mission if you can’t protect your life… Matt will give you the antidote to the poison in you.”
“We will live and die for the boss!!” their thunderous voices almost shook the roof.
Maverick didn’t speak after that and put on his headset. He took out the chip he collected from Damien and inserted it into its plate before his fingers started flying across the keyboard, and a series of codes began appearing on all the screens in the room.
It took more than three hours of unending coding before he got what he wanted and soon, fifty-one of them suddenly went dead…unresponsive!

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 21 – 30
Jeslyn stirred awake with a smile on her pale face. She moved her hand and patted the space beside her. Her hand touched someone, and her smile brightened before she went back to sleep while cuddling the person.
Valen’s heart ached even more at his mother’s action. But what can be done? He snuggled into her embrace and hugged her tightly.
Today’s Thursday and they have a school test, but he decided not to attend and spend the day with his mother.
By noon, Jeslyn woke up and stretched. Her body was aching very badly, but she knew she had to get up. She left for the bathroom and when she returned, Valen was setting the table for her in her room.
“Valen? No school today?” she asked while drying her hair with a towel. Good thing that she wore a bathrobe before coming out.
“They have another boring test today, and I don’t want to participate,” he replied without looking at her.
“Ah? Is that an excuse?” She picked up the dryer and wanted to blow her hair, but Valen hurried to her and helped her to the seat.
“I have been thinking of doing this,” he took the dryer and started working on her hair.
Jeslyn smiled as she observed her handsome son in the mirror. After a long while, she spoke up;
“You’ve grown taller, stronger, and more handsome. I’m scared that you’ll soon fall in love,” She sighed.
“That’s not true. You’re worrying too much,” he dismissed her.
“Oh ho, I saw a sly smile flicker past. Have you started seeing a girl?” she teased.
“Mom!”
“Hahaha…my son is so cute!… That reminds me, that girl, what’s her name again… the one who caused a fight between you and Zack Lu.”
“Mia?”
“Aha…correct! How is she?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.” He put away the hand dryer and took a little amount of hair cream in his palm, robbed them together, and applied it on her hair. Even though his small hands couldn’t do much, he tried to make sure the cream got to the critical places.
“Ok, I won’t tease you anymore if you tell me what has been happening in school.”
Valen knew that she had lied, but he liked it. It’s been ages since he last sat with his mother to talk about silly things.
“She has not stopped bothering me, but I ignore her each time… other annoying girls have joined her too.”
“Hahaha… you are giving me a ‘school heartthrob vibe,” she laughed out loud.
Valen sighed and shook his head. Every day, he gets to see a different side of his mother.
“Did you behave like them when you were a kid?”
“Of course! We girls like cute kids from both genders and wish to befriend them.”
“Did you have a crush on anyone? If so, how did you do it?”
“No, we kids didn’t know what a crush was. We only wanted to be around those other kids and play around. Sometimes, they reject us… not me though, cause I’m gorgeous. Hehe,” she chuckled.
Valen and Jeslyn continued to keep each other company until that evening.
She thought her husband had gone to the office, but it was getting late and he hadn’t arrived.
She called him numerous times already, but his number was unreachable. Dismayed, she tried his office number and his friends’ numbers, but nobody saw him.
However, when she called Matt, he told her Lolita wasn’t well. Jeslyn kept her husband’s matter to the back of her mind and went to see Lolita. Who was receiving treatment at Doc Matt’s house.
Jeslyn was surprised at first, but when she learned of the reason Lolita was sick, Jeslyn immediately concluded.
“You and Matt are together now?!”
Lolita nodded shyly.
“…And he wasn’t easy on you?” Jeslyn asked again, and Lolita nodded.
“We are married,” she whispered.
Jeslyn gasped before she screamed and slapped Lolita gently on the back, “You bad girl! You couldn’t tell me about it?!!”
Lolita chuckled, “It just happened; it wasn’t planned. I wanted to tell you when I got to the company tomorrow, but this happened.” she sighed.
“Serves you right; both of you were wild. Hope you didn’t break the poor bed?”
“Hahaha… don’t kid me. But I wish we did before I got injured.” she lowered her voice and added, “he was too strong.”
Jeslyn sneered and rolled her eyes. Talk about strong and merciless guys in bed, my husband will top the list. She thought.
Thinking of her husband, an ominous feeling swept past her mind and a chill ran down her spine…
“Hey! Rosa!”
“…yes,” Jeslyn snapped back to reality.
Lolita frowned, “What’s wrong? Your eyes looked dead a moment ago.”
Jeslyn shook her head, “I’m fine, I guess I’m a little stressed from work.”
Lolita nodded, “Indeed, you need some time off work… that reminds me, have you heard anything about that blockhead, Ruben?”
“No, I haven’t. What did you hear?”
“I spoke to my Manager who helped me inquire about Ruben from his Manager on the phone yesterday and he denied ever sending Ruben anywhere.”
“What?!”
“Suspicious, right? I never liked him. He looked too sneaky.”
Jeslyn frowned. “Don’t assume anything yet, I’ll talk to my husband when he returns tonight.”
“Great, keep me posted. I want to be there when his mask falls off. Hmph!”
Jeslyn shook her head and sighed. Lolita will never change.
Jeslyn returned home from seeing Lolita, yet her husband wasn’t back. Worried, she went in search of Rex and finally found him in the laboratory.
