THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 31 – 40
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 34
Their mansion is heavily guarded, and her cars are bulletproof. When she leaves the house, she is surrounded by numerous guards that even a sniper cannot penetrate. She doesn’t go to crowded places, nor does she attend events without a top-notch protection protocol for life.
Her reason for being so careful is to protect herself from none other than her husband. Before going to bed, she’d make sure to send pictures of Brian to her husband as a goodnight message.
It’s not because she wants her husband to see that their son is sleeping or doing fine, but to remind him that someone is watching him closely. If she doesn’t wake up, Brian will be killed.
Hwang Min had killed and changed Brian’s servants a couple of times. He had also changed Brian’s rooms, but he was still getting those pictures every night.
To not risk killing his own son, Hwang Min aborted the thought of killing Nancy in her sleep.
Just like right now, Hwang Min, who was lodging in the same hotel as Pink, heard the beeping sound of his phone. When he checked, it was a picture of Brian sleeping on his bed with a caption that read;
‘Our son is back home. He is obedient, isn’t he?’
Hwang Min closed the message and put away his phone. At that moment, the door was pushed open, and his most trusted guard, Venom, entered the room.
“Master, she has entered.” Venom, a hunk of a guy, handsome but fearsome, reported.
Hwang Min’s eyes shone and he got up from the couch. “Is everything ready?” he asked, a little excited.
“Yes, the room service is waiting for your command,” Venom responded..
“Good, let’s go.”

Pink came out of the shower to hear the sound of the doorbell. While tying her bathrobe, she picked up the gun on her dressing table and made her way silently to the door.
Peeping from the pinhole, she saw it was the room service she called earlier. Still, she didn’t relax her guard.
Opening the door, she looked to her right and then left before she opened the door widely for him to enter.
The waiter arranged the drinks he brought, on the table before leaving. However, the moment he walked out, someone else stepped in and locked the door.
Pink was about to start blow-drying her hair when she turned to see the intruder standing by the door.
For a moment, her heart skipped a beat. Time seemed to have frozen as the two stared at each other. When Pink finally realized she was in disguise, she broke the stare and pointed her gun at him.
“You’re in the wrong room,” she said curtly.
“Am I… Alex?”
Pink’s pupil dilated but immediately took hold of herself. “What are you talking about?”
The man started walking towards her; “I was told you were dead…where have you been?… You didn’t look for me like you promised.”
Pink’s fingers on her gun stiffened. Her heart raced faster with every step he took towards her.
“Alex, I know–”
“You are mistaken, everyone knows who I am. I’m Pink…”
“You might have worn something over your face, but you forgot to disguise your voice, your smile, the coldness in your eyes, and your behavior when angry… Alex, it’s me, your Min’er.”
Alex couldn’t utter another word as images flashed in her mind. She was staring at him, yet wasn’t seeing him coming slower because her mind wasn’t with her, until he enveloped her in a tight hug.
Pink awoke from stupor after her nose took in his earthy smell.
This cologne, he still uses it?! She thought.
She immediately pushed him away from her and tried to yell but he pulled her again into a hug but this time, no matter how hard she tried to push him off, she couldn’t.
“You–”
“I’ve missed you so much, Alex, I never thought I’d see you again.”
The pulsation of her heart quickened. She didn’t want this sensation, but her heart and body wouldn’t listen to her mind. Her hands raised on their own and returned the hug. While the two were locked in a long and passionate embrace, Nancy was fuming after receiving a call in her bedroom…
“Alex!” she gritted her teeth with hostility. While she’s alone on her cold bed, her good husband is spending the night with another woman, interesting!
Nancy dialed her husband’s number a few times but no response. “You two…” she breathed in and breathed out to pull herself together before calling him again. This time, the call was answered.
“Hwang, why aren’t you home yet?”
“Since when did you start to care about my absence?” he asked.
“Oh, I still don’t care, I’m just trying to nicely inform you that you shouldn’t let me find out what you are hiding… Have fun,” she curled her lips into an evil smirk before she put the phone away.
Nancy waited for some minutes before her phone rang again. She answered it and a man’s voice rang out, “He is out of the hotel.”
“Bring her to the warehouse… don’t let her escape.” Nancy put her phone away and went back to sleep.

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 31 – 40
At the hotel, Pink was lying on the bed, thinking about Hwang Min’s soft lips and his love confession. Memories overwhelmed her with everything they talked about some minutes ago. Even though he sounded like it wasn’t his fault that they broke up, Pink didn’t think that way. Although she missed him a lot, she refused to be a slave to her emotions.
While Pink was lost in thought, she missed the hand that was prying her window open. By the time she sensed something, the fingers had disappeared and everything looked fine.
Pink turned the lights off and pushed Hwang Min’s thoughts to the back of her mind and tried to sleep. About thirty minutes into her sleep, her eyes snapped open just in time to hear the low cracking sound coming from the door. Her hand moved under her pillow and she pulled out her black gun. She waited for the people to enter the room and from the faint moonlight peeping into the room through the window, Pink was able to count the number of intruders.
There were ten intruders and her pistol had 17 bullets in it. Pink breathed a sigh of relief before she cracked her gun and let out a series of bullets, killing as many enemies as her aim allowed.
The intruders were caught off guard at first but a moment later, they found cover and also started shooting at the bed.
Pink moved away from the bed and also sought cover as the shooting continued.
Behind the floor-to-ceiling window, one of Nancy’s right-hand men, Death, who was known for his brutality, pulled out the safety pin of the blast ball he was holding and threw it into the room. The ball produced a white foam of tear gas, which not only debilitated Pink, but the others too.
Pink’s throat, eyes, and nose took in the impact of the tear gas immediately as it spread inside the room. Even so, she was determined to fight against the irritating, pepperish, and painful effect before she was shot by Death with a tranquilizer, in her neck.
Pink pointed her gun at the window while she was feeling dizzy. Before she could aim at the tall man who was walking towards her, she swayed and fell to the floor.

*The next morning…*
The family of three sat at the dining table, eating breakfast as usual. Brian was rushing over his meal because of the date he has and also, he wanted to drop by the hotel to see Pink.
Hwang Min on the other hand, also wanted to leave early to see Alex. As for Nancy, she was quietly picking one meal after another in an unconcerned manner.
They were almost done eating, yet Nancy didn’t make the atmosphere awkward for anyone, which was the first time.
Hwang Min glanced at her, she looked peaceful and proud like always but today, there seems to be something different about her that he couldn’t place his fingers on. Although he knew something was not right, he didn’t ask her, nor alert her, but decided to watch her closely.
Brian got up after he was done eating and left the table without speaking to anyone.
“Son?” Nancy looked up at Brian. Catching his attention, she continued, “Don’t keep your date waiting, it won’t speak well of us,” she smiled with her lips sealed.
Brian ignored her and walked out.
A few minutes later, Hwang Min also left the table. After they departed the house, Nancy stopped eating and grabbed her phone to make a call.
“Is she awake?” she inquired.
“No, ma’am,” came the reply.
“I’ll be there soon.”

On his way, Brian called Pink a couple of times but she wouldn’t pick up, which was unlike her. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable, so he ordered his chauffeur to speed up.
At the hotel, Brian checked in with the receptionist who told him Pink was still in her room and hadn’t left her chamber or asked for room service.
The staff of the hotel don’t go to Pink’s room unless she asks for someone or something.
Brian took the elevator to the top floor. Standing in front of the door, he rang the doorbell and knocked on the door numerous times, yet she didn’t open up. At this moment, Brian couldn’t relax anymore and then he went back to the receptionist.
“My friend seems to be unwell, I need the spare key to her room.”
“I’m sorry, it’s against our company’s policy,” the beautiful receptionist said regrettably.
“Get your manager down here,” Brian said with a frown.
“Brian?”
Brian looked behind him and saw his father standing by the door of the hotel.
“Dad?”
The receptionist froze when she heard their exchange. The actor, Brian is the Young Master of the Hwang family? How is that possible?! She thought as she looked from the father to the son. Indeed they look alike! How did no one ever think about that?!
Maybe it was because no one thought that the Young Master of THE SIN would ever ‘stoop so low’ and choose to become an entertainer instead of sitting down to be worshiped and catered for.
“What are you doing here? I thought you had a date?” his father asked.
“I’m here for my friend… you? Why are you here?”
“I have a business meeting,” he lied.
“Oh… ok, I shouldn’t keep you waiting.” Brian looked towards the receptionist. This time, she gave no excuse and immediately handed the room key to him.
At the same time, she gave Mr. Hwang the keycard to the room opposite Pink’s without him asking.
“It seems we are heading to the same floor, why don’t we go together?” Mr. Hwang Min suggested.
Brian nodded and went along with his Father.
Behind them, Venom took a step to stand in front of the receptionist and placed his gun on the counter, then said with a lowered voice;
“If a word about my Young Master’s identity get’s out, I’ll look for you and seal your mouth forever. Do I make myself clear?”
The fearful receptionist immediately nodded. She wouldn’t dare to seek death even though she wasn’t warned.
It is the family of THE SIN they are talking about! THE SIN!!
The guard nodded before he followed his masters.

*Inside the elevator…*
“Son, hold on for a little while, I’ll resolve your issue and help you get married to the woman you love.”
Brian stayed silent for a moment before he nodded.
“You don’t trust me,” the man said.
Brian glanced at him, “Dad, it’s fine, I’ll take care of it.”
The man looked down and took a deep breath. “I’m sorry for being a bad Dad to you.”
The young man shook his head, “No Dad, you’ve been the best and I’m proud to be your son.”
“But…”
Brian chuckled sadly, “A man who marries a woman like Mom is bound to be helpless. I understand that you are like this because you are protecting me… but Dad, why is Mom this way?”
“She…”
“Ding!” The elevator dinged and stopped at the top floor.
Brian smiled, “We are here.”
The man tapped Brian’s shoulder and proposed, “We should go out sometimes.”
“Hm,” Brian nodded and walked out of the elevator.
Mr. Hwang also followed, but because his door was closer to the elevator, he got there first. While sliding the key card, he wasted a lot of time just so he could see his son go into Pink’s room.
Brian pushed the door open and walked in. The faint smell of gunpowder, blood, and some weird and unrecognized substance filled the air.
He subconsciously knitted his brows and switched on the lights. The sitting room looked fine, so he called her number again.
Brian could hear her phone ringing from the inner room but no answer. Feeling odd, he walked towards the door to the inner room and slowly pushed it to create a small gap. He didn’t want to barge in on her if she was inside. The second he did that, the smell of gunpowder and blood became thicker.
Brian’s heart dived as he forcefully pushed the door open and stepped in.
“Older sister…” he called softly, his voice had a tinge of fear in it.
He took a small step forward like his shoe was filled with mud. “Old– older sister?” he called again but still no response. Just as he took another step, his leg hit something and he tumbled over. Looking closely, he noticed it was a HUMAN!
Brian freaked out and immediately got to his feet then hurried to the wall and turned on the lights. Littering the floor were bodies of dead men in casual wear.
“Pink!” he screamed like a madman before dashing to the bathroom. The place was empty and there was no sign that anyone got in.
Brian rushed back into the room and looked around the place, still he couldn’t find her. Anxiety gripped his heart as lots of thoughts overwhelmed him.
Who could have done this? He thought. Observing the dead guards, there was none that he was familiar with, so he couldn’t suspect his parents which left him with only one thought… her enemies!
At that moment, Mr. Hwang barged into the room looking flustered, afraid, and angry. He was standing by the front door when he heard Brian’s abnormal voice.
“Check who did this!” he ordered with a low and deadly voice.
Venom went forward to check the dead men but couldn’t find clues, so he shook his head.
“Check the CCTV footage!” Brian suggested. He was too anxious to think.
“It will be useless,” the man said to his pained son. At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind and Nancy’s words rang in his mind.
The man gritted his teeth before he turned to leave but Brian stopped him.
“You know who did it?” He saw the look on his father’s face. “I’ll go with you,” without waiting for his father to speak, he walked out first.
