Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 114

114 His Rossa

A few hours had passed and Jeslyn was feeling a little better, still, they were on the road. Jeslyn looked out the window and was surprised to see that they weren’t anywhere close to the house “Maverick, we haven’t gotten anywhere yet.” She said while looking out the window.

“You needed to calm down before going home.”

“Which means, you’ve been driving around the City?!”

He didn’t respond but Jeslyn knew she was right. Jeslyn smiled and whispered, “thank you…it’s already midnight. We should return home.”

yet.

“Hmm,” Maverick turned the car and started heading in the direction of Jeslyn’s glass house, a few kilometers outside the City.

“What plan have you come up with?” Maverick asked out of the blue.

“On…?”

“Your career.”

“Oh, I intend to start afresh. I’ll sign up with a voice coach for a year or two before I return to the music industry. Like you said, there are better companies in Country M. I’ll start from there.” Maverick hmmed. “Do you have anyone in mind?”

“Not really. I’ll just find a good coach online. Meanwhile, I also intend to start writing for fun.” She smiled.

“Nice.”

“Jeslyn, tell me about yourself.”

Jeslyn sighed and rested her head on the headrest. “What’s there to tell you? You must have dug into my background already.”

“I found nothing interesting.”

“I also don’t have any memory of any interesting events in my life. When I was five or six, my mum and I went for a vacation on an island. We spent quite a long time there. I can’t remember much, just that I know it was a peaceful tropical island.

My mother said a wealthy man gifted the island to his unborn son, hoping the Child would draw peace from it. Then the son was born but instead of peace, he brought chaos to the island… what a curse.” Jeslyn sneered.

“Why? You disdain him?”

“Of course. According to my mother, the existence of that child ruined the peaceful island.”

“Does the island no longer exist?”

“No. The island was razed to the ground and pushed into the ocean… I mean, the ocean was driven to consume the island… it still doesn’t makes sense-”

“The island sank into the ocean.”

“Bingo! That’s the right word… but wait, how did you know that?” Jeslyn frowned. Her mother said that immediately it happened, everyone on the island died. Only the two of them survived and after they left the island, the story became confidential and hidden away by some weird people that should

“I was there too.”

“Oh my God! Are you serious?! This world is really a small place.” Jeslyn laughed.

“Only three children were on that island at the time, Rossa.”

“Pardon?”

Maverick stared at her but shook his head. “What else happened?”

Jeslyn looked skeptically at Maverick but felt no maliciousness from his question, so she shook her head too. “I can’t remember anything else. I was too little and unintelligent then. You said you were there, did you meet the other two kids?”

“Hmm… we became friends.””

“Wow, that’s amazing. Tell me more. I wonder why I wasn’t counted among the children. Was my registration removed? How did you not know I existed?”

“The details must have beenone of the things you forgot.”

“Also true.” Jeslyn sighed.

“Rossa was six, a good kid. She had a beautiful dream but her mother wouldn’t allow it.”

“Why does that sound like me?” She laughed.

“The first day we met, she argued with her mother and ran into my space to hide. She was very cute. We became friends. We kissed. Then one day, she disappeared before the tragedy struck.”

Jeslyn choked on her saliva and coughed; “Ahem, Ahem… Sorry, how old were you?”

“Ten”

“Rossa was only seven!”

“Six”

“You kissed a child!”

“We kissed…we were both children,”

“Doesn’t make a difference. Mr. Maverick, you are…” She sighed. “Who initiated the kiss?”

“I did,” he stared at her amused face. “The first time was a mistake.”

“Ah! There was a second?”

“And a fifth.”

“Maverick! You monster! I’ll learn to separatemy little daughters from children like you.”

Maverick stopped the car and drew closer to her. He said in a low thick voice,

“How would you know?”!

Jeslyn got lost in his hypnotizing orbs. Maverick had never been this s*xy, why is she suddenly seeing him in a different light? His eyes were sending sparks into her body, urging her to lay her hands on him.

“Jeslyn,”

She trailed her eyes down to his thick, soft, and smooth pink lips. Jeslyn subconsciously licked and bit on her lower lip. Heart drumming against her ribcage.

“How would you know the child is like me,”

Jeslyn’s eyes were glued to the movement of his lips that were inviting her to take a soft bite. If she had Adam’s apple, it would have been going up and down with the amount of saliva she had swallowed.

Maverick curled his lip and took his hand off the steering to unbuckle his seat belt and hers. He jerked her off her seat and helped her onto his lap.”You hid yourself really well.”

“h-huh?” Jeslyn mindlessly replied.

“You can’t get away from me anymore.” He leaned in and connected his lips to her ready lips.

Maverick took her lips like a kiss-deprived man. This time around, he didn’t give her the chance or time to dominate him. He ripped open the buttons on her nurse gown and pulled her peach out of her bra and squeezed it.

“Hmmm… ” Jeslyn couldn’t hold back the moan. She gasped when he pinched her tat. She could see that the man had lost it and she was totally loving this wild man!

The other times, Maverick was searching for her identity, but not anymore. He lowered his head to her chest and licked her peach before taking it into his mouth. Her moans dr ove him crazy.

At this moment, Maverick didn’t care about where they were or who he was. The only thing he knew right now was that he wanted to brand this woman to stop her from leaving him again.
