Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

488 New dawn

Just kidding! (1

Meanwhile, a distance away from where the explosion happened, Hwang Min was seen on the

ground, catching his breath. He noticed that something was wrong when nobody chased him. They wouldn't go through so much stress to bring him out of the cell, and then allow him to escape. It's not possible.

With that thought in mind, he jumped out of the car just in time before it exploded.

"Those spiteful bitches!" He gritted his teeth. If he manages to leave here alive, he'd make sure none of them lives to see the week after.]

With the fire burning from the car, he observed his surroundings and to his utmost shock, there were two cars behind him.

Hwang Min swallowed. Who are those? He thought.

His instinct told him to run away and that was exactly what he was about to do when the black car in front zoomed towards him.

Hwang Min took to his heels and started running, however, the next thing he knew, he was soaring high through the air. The feeling of flying was great, but the severe pain he was feeling in his legs could not be defined.

With a loud cry, he fell heavily on the ground, behind the black car that knocked him off.

Hwang Min puked blood as he felt sharp pain tore through his chest. He tried to see who it was that wanted his life.

Lo and behold, the monster got out of his car. He was wearing his signature black shirt and black

pants.

On his right hand was a flick knife he was messing with.

A chill runs down Hwang Min's spine every time the knife springs out of its handle or goes back in. Against the furious roar of the fire, the knife shone viciously like it had taken more lives than its

owner.

"Ma-Maverick, wh- what are you-"

"Here to settle scores." He stopped in front of the man, looking down at him as he struggled to move further away from him.

"You- I'm your wife's father. Do you want to kill her father?"

"My wife told me before today that I cannot harm her family for any reason.....'

Hwang Min smiled with glee when he heard that. But Maverick's next statement sent a punch to his already weak heart.

"... However, she never said I can't punish you."

Before Hwang Min could understand what he was talking about, Maverick stepped on his leg, holding it down so he wouldn't move.

Hwang Min started to scream but who would hear him amidst the crackling

fire behind them?

With a flick of his wrist, he stabbed the knife into his right eye.

and sizzling of the raging

Hwang Min roared and started to struggle for freedom, but Maverick wasn't done. He mercilessly pulled the knife out and stabbed the other eye before letting him go.

The roaring Hwang Min found the strength to get up while covering his bleeding eyes with his palms.

"Ahhhhhh!! I will kill you!!" Sometimes, he would throw his hands around, while other times he'd fall and grovel for a while before struggling to stand back on his feet again.

Meanwhile, Maverick was right behind him, watching the man as he fought his way toward the mouth of the flame.

Clearly, he could feel the hotness on his skin, but maybe he wanted to kill himself or maybe the pain coursing through his body didn't allow him to feel the heat. But whatever way, Hwang Min was a few feet away from embracing the flame.

"Boom!"

Maybe it was as a result of the fuel tank, or the nature of the fire, but it exploded again, sending Hwang Min flying and hitting his back on Maverick's car.

The Impact created a big dent on the side of his car and broke his glass.

"The stubborn man took your car along with him. Let's see how you explain that to your wife," Inspector Fin chuckled.

"Who will tell her?" Maverick raised a brow.

"A little birdie might. Unless you ask her to convince my woman so we can get married immediately. Reverend Father Matt is getting married before me and his woman is even pregnant, but me, I've had the longest relationship, yet, it appears I'll be the last to get married. Help a brother, Mav."

"Send his body back to the station. If he isn't dead, you know what to do."

"Do you honestly think that putting the man's dead body close to the police station would make the government not see you as the number one suspect?"

"The point flew over your head." Maverick entered his car and zoomed off.

"You goddamn bad man! Why would you make me clean up after you?! Oh f*ck!"

News of Hwang Min's unfortunate death hit the government and investigation immediately commenced. It was found out that Jeslyn was the last person to visit him and left with tears. She was called in for questioning and as usual, she lied her way out.

After a thorough investigation, it was reported that an attempt to break him out of cell by his men occurred but it seemed the men were rather there for revenge. They blinded him, tortured him, and then killed him by strangling him before bringing him back to the station. (1

Although the story was flawless, the government refused to believe that Maverick had no hand in it. However, what proof do they have?

Weeks later...

Chubby Jeslyn was lying on her husband's body with her big stomach when she remembered there. was something Nancy/asked her to do. With her finger circling his chest, she sighed.

"This is the fifteenth sigh. What do you want?" he asked her.

"Plum," she looked at him with puppy eyes.

"Spill it, I'll see what I can do."

"I think I'm broke."

Maverick raised a brow and gave her a teasing smile. "Broke? You mean a part of your body is broken?"

"Stop playing," she hissed and playfully pinched his chest.
