THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 41 – 50
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 47
“Ok…So can you tell me more about my family? What happened next? Why did my grandparents relocate to Rose City if they were indigenes of Country M?”
“After he was banished, unlike his family and friends who made him believe that your grandmother would leave him, she instead proved them wrong by sticking with your grandfather through thick and thin. Your grandaunt was not pleased that she couldn’t break the two apart, so she started to make things difficult for them until they gave birth to your mother and her sister.
“To hurt your grandparents, your grandaunt stole the children from the cradle and initiated them into the cult. After a month, she returned the children, but your grandmother had already developed an illness from the ordeal. Your grandmother was too scared to remain in Country M, so they went to Country A, Rose city to hide away from their enemy, but the children had already been bewitched.
“When they turned five, the dark magic that your grandaunt used on them started to manifest and the kids got sick to the point of near death. Nothing could heal them and the only thing they wanted was to be sent to the cult.
“Your grandmother didn’t want to do that, but your grandfather couldn’t watch her and the kids suffered so much, so he sent the kids to the cult. When they became teenagers, the dark magic started to wear off and your mothers became a handful in the cult–breaking rules, and going wild.
“Your grandaunt didn’t want to kill your mothers because she needed something to control your grandparents emotions with, so she allowed them to reunite with their parents but with a condition that they must spend half a month with their parents and half a month in the cult, until your mothers drifted out of her control.
“The black magic no longer worked, so she used Alex, who was the most defiant, against Alice and Diana, their best friend. For Alice and your grandparents to be free from your grandaunt’s manipulation, Alex convinced everyone that she was evil, so she later got banished by your grandfather, hastening your grandmother’s death.
“By now, you must have deduced that there is nothing like an heir or a gifted Doyenne. Everything is a scheme by your grandaunt. She doesn’t want your family to slip off her fingers, which is why she immediately made the hidden witches of the cult to name you the next heir from your mother’s womb.
“I believe you’ve been having nightmares that don’t add up? It’s one of the things the witches did to make you believe that you belong to them. Same things were done to your mothers. To know that the cult is a fraud, the heir according to the rules they set, was not supposed to fall in love or deflower, but even after you gave birth, they still won’t leave you alone.
“Do you know why they haven’t brazenly approached you yet?”
Jeslyn shook her head. True, none of them had approached her until now.
“It’s because they wanted you to hit the last button in your life before they came to you. That would have happened when you faced trials in your life, but unfortunately, Alex didn’t give them a second to realize their schemes, so she immediately arranged for you to be with her in jail.
“They couldn’t do anything with her secretly protecting you. And when you came out of jail, you were under your husband’s sanctuary.
“They couldn’t attack your husband because he’s a very stubborn man and also, he had the Dark Age behind him. Your husband might have refused to be one of the Dark Age, it didn’t mean that they weren’t protecting him because he is their Holy son.”
“What makes the Dark Age different? Jeslyn asked.
“Unlike the Half– heart who are focused on ruining men, the Dark Age is focused on power and technology. Until this day, I have no idea where their base is. The reason they valued your husband above all, was not because of his power or savagery, but because of his brain.
“The Dark Age lost their right hand when your father-in-law died. So when they saw the potential in your husband to be the next technology expert, they tried to rope him in, but your stubborn husband stood by his words and never hid his hatred for them.
“However, after your son came into the picture, I noticed that they changed how they treated your husband. And that is because they are observing your son to see how good he is with technology. I can guarantee that your husband will be killed if your son shows his talent…
“I can confidently say that was one of the reasons your husband left his son out of school for six years. He created a facade for the Dark Age to think that his son was a rotten child who can’t achieve much in life just to buy time until he finished his Virtual project.
“But then, you came along and unknowingly ruined everything for him, causing him to hasten all his plans…”
Jeslyn bit her lips and tightened her hold on the coat. The air suddenly feels chilly around her. Before she could speak, Nancy continued.
“Jeslyn, do you know why your husband ignored the Xu family after they injected his son with ATOM?” she asked and Jeslyn shook her head with her eyes brimming with tears.
“It is because they bought him more time. Thanks to what they did, the organization thought the child wouldn’t be able to survive, while Doc Matt was secretly doing everything to cure the child…”
Jeslyn wiped her tears and asked. “How did you know all these?”
“Because I have access to any information I want to know.” She smiled.
“I was the first they tried ATOM on, when it was created. According to what ATOM was supposed to be at first, it was made with the intention to control a person’s mind but their experiment failed.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t understand. Why does your husband seem to hate you that much?”
“Power, wealth, fame, and the ability to rule the world alone… he wants to be the god of the world. My coca farm, and your husband’s brain is all he needs. And what he cannot get, he destroys it.”
“These vultures need to be stopped!”
“Indeed. That’s what your husband had been trying to do for years. If he had let his plans known, maybe I would have been of help. But unfortunately, no one knows what he’s up to.”
“Can’t they be killed? I’m sure they are still humans. Killing the leaders would be disorienting to them, right?”
Nancy shook her head, “It’s not that easy.. Also, killing the leader doesn’t change much. Another person will take over immediately when the leader dies.”
“In other words, there’s no way to stop them, right? Jeslyn asked.
“There is. That is, if you can get THE PEACE to intervene.”
“How?”
“They aren’t aware of what is going on. Even if they are, they wouldn’t think it’s that deep.” Nancy explained.
“Why haven’t you informed them ever since?” Jeslyn couldn’t understand why the woman, even though she had evidence of the crime these people were committing, couldn’t bring them to book.
“You think they’d believe me?” She chuckled. “I’m also on their list. They’d think I exposed your father because I hate him, or because I want to be the only one standing,” she rolled her eyes.
“So, what do we do?”
“You’re a public figure, you should think of something. Probably, raise awareness or something… your father is not around at the moment, so no one can kill your voice.”
The two talked for a while before Jeslyn bid her goodnight.
While the two had been discussing, a great battle was going on in some parts of the City. The SIN raided some hideouts in the City, which included parties, bars, clubs, hotels and so on, and killed more than hundred Ladies under Ani.
By the time Ani found out, Death and two other men were already at Delight hotels. The lady tried to escape but was caught at the door and taken away.
However, on their way, a white van rammed into their car, causing it to somersault. A moment after the commotion died down, four ladies came out of the van and hurried to the car to drag Ani out.
After they successfully took the unconscious Ani out of the car, one of the ladies destroyed the fuel tank. Just before she lit the lighter, another tried to stop her but she didn’t pay heed and threw threw the lighter into the fuel tank.
However, before the car exploded, Death, who woke up to see what the girls were doing to his car, immediately fired a couple of shots at Ani, hopping he didn’t miss.
“Noooo!”
“Boom!”
The car exploded, killing Death and the two other guys.
Ani was laid on the floor as the ladies mourned their leader’s death.
“I told you not to aggravate them! If you hadn’t hit the car and set it ablaze, they wouldn’t have killed her!”
“Even if I didn’t, they wouldn’t have let her go.”
“Stop it, you two! This is no time for apportioning blames. Our Lady is dead and it’s thanks to our recklessness… However, Doyenne must not know about this. We took actions without informing her, so if she finds out, we’re certainly going to be dead for sure. Have I made myself clear?!” The prettiest lady among them with red hair, yelled at the two ladies who were about to get into a fight.
“Yes!” The girls chorused.
“But older sister, what would we tell Doyenne?”
“We will tell her that The SIN killed Our lady and has waged war against us,” said the red–haired lady.
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 41 – 50
*A few hours later..*
In a dimly lit hall, a young and beautiful woman whom no one would have thought to be old enough to be someone’s great–grandmother, sat on a throne, staring at the four ladies kneeling in front of her with a corpse.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 41 – 50
After a while, she asked, “You said Nancy did this?” Her seductive low voice sounded in the dark hall with tens of ladies, all looking, beautiful, young, and sexy, standing erect on both sides of the hall, with a pathway in the middle.
“Yes, Doyenne!” The red–haired lady, with the other three ladies, replied while kneeling before the throne.
“What caused Nancy to suddenly want to wage war against me?” she sexily raised her red painted nails and blew on them. “Nancy wouldn’t start a fight without a proper reason,” she continued.
“Doyenne, we have no idea what happened. She sent her people to raid our hideout and kill our lady. Before we got to our lady’s rescue, she was already dead. We couldn’t let the perpetrators go, so we chased them down with a van and successfully brushed him out of the way. That was when we realized he was one of Nancy’s most trusted men, Death–”
“Death?! You killed Death?!” someone yelled from the audience.
Diana and Jacy smiled faintly. Killing Death is the same as cutting Nancy’s left hand. Now that they’ve dug their grave, it would be fun to watch them battle to death with the stubborn and ruthless Nancy!
However, the two were too quick to be excited because the next minute, Doyenne shattered their dreams.
“Hm, the deed has been done. Nancy had been finding ways to attack us for a long time, so she probably used a clone to make us feel guilty. Lady Diana and Lady Jacy, you two are the core members of the sisterhood and has control over the largest division here. You should lead your faction and go make peace with Nancy. If she beats the drum of war, attack immediately. I will be watching from the mirror. If you need help, I’ll send you some.”
Diana and Jacy were stunned at first but later, they knelt to accept her command. Why did they think that this woman wouldn’t use them as a shield for the organization?
Ever since Jacy failed to kill Alex and rather got shot, Doyenne had been acting funny and making things difficult for their faction. She had suppressed them so much that the once prosperous faction with a respectable Analyser, became the joke of the organization. More than half of the members deserted them and joined other factions. Now, this witch dared to say they have the largest members?! All their faction has left is just twenty of them, plus Jacy and Diana. Sending them to war with the ruthless Nancy, doesn’t that mean that this witch wants to eradicate them!
One of the ladies who found it absurd from Diana’s faction knelt down and spoke. “Doyenne, our faction only has twenty members. We are the lowest of all–”
“You are defying me?” Doyenne asked. Before the lady could protest, floating black smoke came out from a side room and wrapped the lady up.
Diana, Jacy and the seventeen others from the same faction all knelt down to beg the Doyenne to have mercy but it was too late, or rather she paid dead ears as the dark smoke drained the life out of the lady.
“Anyone else has something to say?”
Nobody replied. She nodded and declared, “You are dismissed.” Doyenne waved her hand and everyone bowed before they left.
Once the dark hall was deserted, an old lady wearing a black hoodie gown, with a crooked stick, walked in from the side room where the smoke came out from earlier.
“My Lady,” she greeted.
“Lady Sabrina, to what do I own this honorable visit?”
“I saw a vision.”
“On what this time? My doom again?”
“I saw the sisterhood falling under the wrath of a little boy. The witches were slayed by his stone sword and bullets. His hazel orbs held fury. He will stab you in the heart and watch your youthful skin disappear…”
“This again?!… And I thought the witches can’t be killed?”
“Everything has a weakness. But we were never told what our weakness was.”
“Understand. But who the hell is that child? He needs to be found and killed immediately!” Doyenne raged.
“I can’t find him… He is shrouded in his mother’s scent that was produced by the rainborite stone.”
Doyenne balled her fist. “Then we will need to look for who has the rainborite stone. Is that so? But wait, didn’t it disappear?”
“A tiny part was left behind. But you can’t find it. It has a strong consciousness which hides and protects its bearer and those it loves.”
“Is there no way out for us to survive this tribulation?” Doyenne was feeling restless. She had heard about her misfortune more than ten times already, but each time it is retold, it feels fresh like she had never heard of it before.
“There is… I saw a baby girl from the same household. She will speak from the cradle and will be loved by all… She will rarely have enemies because her cuteness and charm will melt any human or animal’s heart. She will have the blood of a powerful leader. If she is roped in at a young age and made to become the Doyenne, she will be the best ruler to ever exist. She will carry the sisterhood to the peak and make the world bow to her feet. That child’s destiny will be greater than every man that has ever walked in this world. She can avert your tribulation.”
Doyenne felt excitement bubbling in her heart and she immediately sprung to her feet,” where is this child?”
“She is still a clot of blood in her mother’s womb.”
“Where is this mother?”
