Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

462 The search (4)

Jeslyn remembered the time she woke up with hickeys on her. If she wasn't mistaken, that was two weeks ago. In other words, she's indeed pregnant for that monster?!

"Ahhh!!!" She screamed, throwing the covers off and got out of bed. She caught sight of surgical tools beside her on the bed. She grabbed the scissors and held it with all her might as she made her way out of the room in her white pyjamas.

"Ms. Jeslyn, please wait up, don't-"One of the nurses tried to stop Jeslyn, but another shook her head, stopping anyone from dissuading Jeslyn.

After Jeslyn left the room in a fit of rage, the nurse who prevented the others from stopping Jeslyn said with everyone else looking at her.

"If she manages to kill him, we can leave here."

"And if she gets killed?"

"He won't kill her, I'm sure of that," the second nurse said.

"Bold of you to assume that, hmph!"

Jeslyn arrived at the sitting room, but Reuben was nowhere in sight.

Believing he was still in the house, Jeslyn started searching the doors until she saw him in the kitchen.

"You are awake. Why are you here? I was preparing you some porridge." He smiled as he made his way to her.

Jeslyn held the scissors tightly behind her back like she was summoning strength from it.

"You look angry. Did you have a bad dream?"

Jeslyn didn't respond and waited for him to get closer and closer. Just when he was close enough, she brought forward the scissors and dug it into his chest! Reuben immediately slapped Jeslyn's hand away before she could push the scissors deeper. He pulled the scissors out and threw it to the floor with blood on it.

His aura changed as he approached her with much hatred in his eyes. Unlike before, Jeslyn didn't flinch. She stood there like an angry bull, waiting to launch another attack.

When Reuben was close enough, she threw a punch at him, but he easily deflated it. With just one hand, he grabbed her fist, applied pressure and turned her around, pinning her hand behind her back. He slammed her against the aluminium door, facing the front.

"Ah!"

Jeslyn whimpered, but he didn't care this time.

"I've done nothing but respect you and treat you well, never hurting you or going after your life. But each chance you get, you aim for my life! Rossa, I don't want to die just yet, not in your hands, nor anybody's!" He shoved her to the floor and watched her struggle to get up.

"I was being gentle with you, but not anymore!" He turned and left, ignoring what he was cooking.

After he left, he made another call.

"Release everything. Also, tell them she's two weeks pregnant for me."

At the capital, another news hit the media.

Pictures of Jeslyn and Reuben meeting up in front of Fearless Entertainment surfaced on the internet. The pure joy on her face when she saw Reuben was the kind of smile only a woman who is deeply in love would give her beloved.

When the pictures that were taken from angles-that only made the two intimate were published, a lot of people were left wondering what was going on in the second branch of the Lu family. The headlines weren't even helping matters.

[The people's favourite, VJ Cute couldn't bear her husband's infidelity and found solace in the hands of another charming man who had genuinely loved her since childhood.] [Breaking news!

Cute has sent divorce papers to her ex-husband and had no intention of going back because she is two weeks pregnant for her fiance, Reuben Yu!]

The internet was in a frenzy. Most people were left in a situation where they couldn't seem to understand what was going on anymore.

Some found it strange that Jeslyn would immediately move on after her husband was caught cheating, and now she's pregnant.

The last set were the fans that supported whatever decision their favourite decides to make in life, provided she's happy.

Among the few who were enraged that a loving couple like Alpha Chaos and Jeslyn had been torn apart was the antagonist of the story himself, Maverick.

All these while, he had been trying to suppress his anger, but now, they've finally ruined his self-control.

"Every media that was bold enough to publish such news, burn them down. I don't care if souls are in the building!"

"Yes, boss!"

"The one behind the pictures, find him no matter where he is. Dig out his bones if he is already dead!"

"Yes, Master!"

"The Yu family, bring me Reuben's favourite person and the Yu's living ancestors."

"Yes, boss!"

"Get Spid and his team on standby. Whoever leaves a senseless comment, I don't want to know what part of the world they are in. Find them and when you do, make sure you reap them so much that in five years, they won't be able to purchase a new phone or computer."

"Understood!"

Rex, Fin, Matt and Celestine sat there quietly as they looked at the man dishing out orders with an overwhelming cold aura. None of them tried to stop him. He had been angered to the core, and this was the first time he had gotten this angry.

Even when Rex was almost drowned by his mother, Maverick wasn't this angry. Only God knows what will be ruined before this anger subsides.

"Brother, why do you want to get the Yu's living ancestors involved?" Rex was the only one bold enough to speak.

"If a child is not cautioned by their parents when doing something wrong, the parents share in the blame when the child runs wild... What hospital was that woman sent to?" 1

"You mean the one you are accused of cheating with? She's with a psychologist, she's getting better

now."

"Go get her. She better have useful information to exchange for her life." He leaned back into his chair and grabbed a glass of drink, and downed its contents in a go.

"Brother, please take it easy! She wasn't part of the plan to—"

"You won't know until you find out. You'd better do what he asks you before you get burned," Fin intervened.

The private room was looking overly gloomy and none of them was interested in lighting the atmosphere because, just as Maverick was deeply wounded, so were their hearts in severe pain.
