CHAPTER 63
“He wouldn’t take my calls either,” Celestine added.
“The only remedy I see here is to find his wife,” Fin concluded.
“Of course. Isn’t that what we all have been doing for so long?” Matt rolled his eyes at Fin.
“Don’t you dare give me attitude; I’m also bearing the brunt of it all!” Fin retorted.
“How do you bear the brunt? You sleep at night with your woman! But neither I nor Mav can sleep with our women beside us! Lolita is blaming herself and refusing to come close to me and Jeslyn is missing!”
“How the f*ck is that my fault? That woman doesn’t even allow me to touch her! She went back to the guest room! Do you know the pressure she’s putting on me to get her friend back? Unlike some people here having the best fun of their lives at night!” Fin glared at Rex.
“You two, shut the f*ck up!… Bang!” Celestine threw the bottle of wine on the table at the two men who were a second away from throwing punches.
The two are agile, so they were able to dodge the bottle flying towards them.
“You two think you’re the only ones having the worst? Little Valen hasn’t left his room for two weeks. The child has reverted to his old ways. I’m growing older than I should! Celeste is threatening to end the engagement and you stand here to accuse me of having the best life?!” Rex yelled.
“You three, get out!” Celestine yelled and pointed at the door. Seeing they won’t leave, she got up. “Since the three of you are so incompetent to look for my student, I’ll do it myself. I dare any of you to come after me.” She glared at them, took her car keys from the table and stormed out in her heels.
“It’s your fault! If anything should happen to my woman, I’ll hold you two accountable!” Rex thundered.
“Shut up, boy–”
“No, you shut up! It’s your damned fault!” Matt intervened.
Celestine could hear the three arguing inside the room. Annoyed, she ordered one of the guards behind her.
“Lock them in.”
The guard bowed and went back to lock the door. After all, it was Celestine’s villa, so they had the upper hand.
While everyone was focused on searching for Reuben and the photographer, Celestine had a different approach. She went straight to the hospital to see the rape victim.
Arriving at her ward, Celestine sat like the elegant lady she was. Without wasting words, she went straight to the point.
“You might have already known who I am, but I’m not interested in your introduction. It would be in your interest if you tell me the whole truth without holding anything back.”
“Ma’am, what are you–”
“Would you mind telling me why you were singled out to be the one raped in a place filled with tens of beautiful waitresses? Of course, you can’t tell me they took you from where you were lying in the hall.” Celestine voiced out without flattering. The lady in front of her is beautiful, but certainly not the type to make a man hard at first sight.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” she looked away and wiped her tears.
Celestine smiled and leaned forward. “Don’t play with me, girl. I’m no one like you’ve met before.”
“Why are you doing this?” the lady started to cry. “Mr. Maverick saved me. If I knew anything, I would have told him a long time ago.”
“He saved you, yet you hate him?” Celestine raised a brow.
The lady was shocked at what she heard. “H–how could you make up such unfounded claims?! Is that how ungrateful your heart can be?!” She yelled.
“Hahaha…” Celestine laughed unamused. “At the age of ten, you pushed your step-sister into a pool because she was receiving more attention than you at a party. At the age of fifteen, you bullied and killed a classmate because she was prettier. At the age of twenty, you had sex with your step-sister’s fiance… note, that they were about to get married a week later. At the age of twenty-nine, which was last month, you stole a co-worker’s chance of being the waitress that would serve at Damien’s party. So tell me, young lady, why should I believe you?”
“Y– you did a background check on me?”
“Not just that. I also did a background check on the manager of the hotel. Guess what I found. You two had been f*king around while you used that as a key to terrorize the other hotel staff members.”
Celestine got up and started pacing the room while laying down some theory.
“I’m a lady too and know exactly what goes on in the minds of opportunists like you. How about we try this?” Celestine smiled with her lips sealed.
“You stole someone else’s place to get the chance to be among those who served at the party where the First Lady, Yu, Lu and other great figures were. When you found an opportunity, you followed someone into the restroom, probably to have an audience with them. Can I be bold enough to say that person was Jeslyn?” Seeing the look of shock on the lady’s face, Celestine snorted and continued.
“Before you could get to the restroom, you encountered Reuben and his people. You probably heard what was discussed and you were caught, so your death was ordered before the big shots left the restroom.
“However, the men were new to the Xu faction, meaning they were deprived of basic human needs…like tasting a woman. So they disobeyed the order to kill you immediately and instead thought to have a taste. But unfortunately, Maverick showed up.”
“Hahahaha… you are not the best celebrity of the century for nothing. I’m impressed. I guess only the intelligent get to be a part of his crew…so tell me, why do you think I hate him?”
“You felt repulsed that a lady like you was raped by mere guards, so you were angry that Mav came a few minutes too late to save you, so nothing he did afterwards could erase your hatred, so you hid the truth from him,” Celestine concluded.
“Bravo!” She clapped. “I’m impressed. However, you are not entirely wrong, but so what? What can you do about it? You obviously cannot make me tell the truth. After all, the world thinks that I’m now Mav’s girlfriend. Haha.”
“You think too highly of yourself,” Celestine chuckled. “What if I tell Mav that you were the prostitute who was paid by Rex and others to sleep with him eight years ago and also paid by Reuben to change the aphrodisiac that was given by Rex to a stronger one? What do you think he would do to you? Or what if I tell him that your daughter was the dead offspring that was presented to Jeslyn as her child while Valen was taken away from her? Or what if I also tell him that you had a hand in making things smooth for Vera to locate Jeslyn in Rose City, which led to Maverick taking Vera home and almost ruining his happy family?
“I’m sure you have no idea what it would be like to have your innocent sick brother have his guts sprawled out right in front of you. Aren’t you doing everything because of him?”
The lady gritted her teeth, “You know too much and I tell you, it won’t be good for you if you don’t stop digging into my–”
“What more to dig? That you have a daughter named Mia, who is six years old? … Or that you’ve been hunting Maverick because you blame him for your brother’s misfortune?”
“Haha, why do I feel you aren’t so good to Maverick like everyone thought? You know so much about me, yet didn’t tell him. Is it right for me to think that you have your agenda by being around him?”
“That’s clearly an option for you. But don’t worry, you’ll know where my loyalty stands before the day ends, so tell me, where is Reuben and who is the photographer?”
“And if I tell you, you’ll keep my secret?”
“I wouldn’t be here alone if I had no intention of keeping your secret,” Celestine smiled faintly.
“Fine, we have a deal… I don’t know where Reuben is, but I know who the photographer is… Lone wolf.” The lady smiled when she saw the look of disbelief on Celestine’s face.
“Lone wolf, asin paparazzo lone wolf?”
“Who else?” the lady rolled her eyes. “He’s been working for Reuben, but sells pictures to agencies–”
“I know what he does. Where can I find him?”
“He stays in a torn-down building in the slum… at least, that was the place I saw him last month.”
“No one knows his description because he appears in disguise. Will you be kind enough to tell me what he looks like?”
“Of course, we have a deal… he is a tall muscular man with great charm. He has a beard, dark blue eyes, long hair and a long jaw. Is that enough?”
“For now, it is.”
“I’m not expecting you to come back here. So better not, I won’t entertain you.”
“Not me… But him!” The minute Celestine said that, the door burst open and Maverick walked in.
“Y– yo– you betrayed me!”
“Did I?”
“You, I thought you were against him!”
“You thought. That’s your thoughts, not mine.” She glanced at Maverick. “I’ve done my part, I hope after you’ve brought back my student, you will finally give importance to your health. Those kids are fighting and blaming themselves, you should ease their burden a little.”
“Hm, thank you,” he said.
“I deserve it. See you and my sister-in-law soon.” Celestine patted his shoulder before she glanced one last time at the lady on the bed and left.
“H–hey, M–Mr. Lu…” the lady tried to smile but her lips wouldn’t stretch.
Maverick glanced at the Iv stand and started walking towards it. “You have something else you would like to add?”
“Mr. Lu, I– what you heard is not true. I– we–” no matter how hard she tried to come up with something, her mind wouldn’t obey her head.
“Maybe you don’t.” He held the Iv bag and observed it for a moment before he started playing with the roller clamp.
As he tampered with the roller, the drip started rushing instead of dripping through the transparent tube. The lady immediately understood that he was trying to kill her, so she hurriedly tried to pull the needle off her wrist, however, Code 2 who was standing a few feet away saw her and instantly appeared to pin her down and watched her struggle for her life until she grew weaker and weaker and finally lost her life.
Maverick didn’t leave the ward until the full bag of drip was emptied into the lady in less than three minutes. He saw the fear and regret before her eyes rolled into her head, yet he felt no pity.
The group left the hospital and went straight to the slum. On their way, Maverick made a digital sketch of their target based on the description from the raped victim. So by the time they got to the slum, he had sent the photo to Code 10 who distributed the picture to their elite group. So all the CODES have a picture of the victim.
Getting to the slum, the guards asked around with the picture from their phones. Those who knew where Lone wolf was, showed them the way.
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 61 – 70
Lone wolf had left to buy something to eat. When he returned, he didn’t smell anything fishy. The dimmed room wasn’t fortunate to see the glory of luxury or furniture except for his small bed and a massage chair in front of the large screens in front of him.
The guy sat back on the chair and opened the takeout he brought with him. Seeing the low-quality food, he sighed. “For how long will I continue to eat this poor food? I just hope these videos will be the last,” he clicked a button on the keyboard and the screens lit up.
On the screen was a video of Reuben kissing Jeslyn and leaving hickeys on her. “You are such a bad schemer. He even asked me to add an edited sex scene. Haha, I can’t believe you plan on ruining her reputation completely. With this, I’m sure a reputable man like Alpha Chaos would give up on her. Haha–”
“What if I don’t?”
“You will–” Lone wolf froze. That was a voice! He sharply looked back and saw a silhouette standing behind him.
Lone wolf quietly and carefully got out of his massage chair. “Wh–who are you?”
“Where is Reuben hiding?” Maverick asked. Seeing the video play was making Maverick’s anger grow even bigger.
“Al–Alpha–”
Maverick started walking towards him, one step at a time. His broad and strong chest vibrating with wrath.
“I don’t know wh–”
Maverick closed the distance, got a strong grip on his neck and slammed him into the screen, breaking the screens and causing the images on the screen to die out.
Maverick pulled him up from the floor, grabbed him again and slammed him against the massage chair. Maverick, whom anger had blinded, continued to beat the devil out of Lone wolf who wasn’t given an opportunity to throw a punch.
Lone wolf’s agonizing screams were muffled by the sounds of his body destroying something or something damaging his bones.
Once Maverick felt he was done breaking every piece of his bones, he stopped and asked again. “Where is Reuben?” seeing he was willing to talk, Mav grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him close to his ear.
“A– a–t … my–mysey foes–”
Even though Maverick beat the letter ‘R’ and ‘T’ out of his toothless mouth, Mav was still able to comprehend what he was talking about.
“Mystery forest!”
Mav released his shirt and allowed him to hit the back of his head on the floor. He brushed his black shirt and ordered while leaving the room.
“Destroy everything.”
“Yes, boss!”
It was already dark by the time he left the slum. On his way, he called Rex, “get a chopper ready.”

Hope you are all ready to follow Alpha Chao to Mystery Forest?
