Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

As a result of her kind heart and her soft spot for children, Ms. Alice ended up adopting Christine after having a talk with her husband, Mr. Wales.

Six years old Jeslyn was excited to know that she would be getting a sibling. After all, she had been on her parents’ necks, disturbing them with the issue of wanting a sibling to play with.

Unbeknownst to her that she was pressuring her mother whom the doctor said could no longer give birth due to some medical condition that forced her womb to be removed.

Jeslyn could remember the first fight which happened between her parents was due to Christine being called an adopted child and getting bullied repeatedly in school. Ms. Alice took the matter with the school and the child’s parents so incredibly that it ended up in court and the school got closed down.

Mr. Wales was angry that Ms. Alice took the matter to the extreme and ordered Christine to be sent back to the orphanage as she tends to cause too much trouble.

Ms. Alice packed out of the house to live alone in one of her mansions with her two daughters.

To her, telling her to return Christine to the orphanage was the same as telling her to denounce Jeslyn as her child.

What mother would do that?

At that time, Christine was already ten years old, so she had never been able to forget that day to date.

Learning what her adopted father said, Christine couldn’t live freely with the family anymore and wouldn’t dare to make mistakes assuming she would be sent away and that made the mother and daughter go all out to show her massive care and love.

On the day of Jeslyn’s 18th birthday, Ms. Alice got drunk for the first time after the party, and the next day, she issued a divorce letter to Mr. Wales.

To this day, Jeslyn doesn’t know the full story, but from what she could gather, Ms. Alice found out that her husband whom she had married and given everything to was cheating on her with her assistant who was also her best friend.

Not just that, they had been betraying her for close to eighteen years, which meant that when Ms. Alice was pregnant with Jeslyn, her good husband was busy sleeping with his wife’s assistant.

After the divorce, her mother returned to Rose City while she and Christine chose to stay with their father who wouldn’t let them leave with their mother. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

At that time though, she was about to graduate from high school, so Ms. Alice saw no reason to fight for her custody since she was old enough to make her own decisions anyway.

Jeslyn chose to stay with her father in Country G, but in a different apartment which her mother got her. She only had two months until she graduated high school before she would return to her mother in Rose City free.

Christine chose to be with Jeslyn as she was more closer and free with her sister than their mother.

On the day of Jeslyn’s graduation, a massive party was thrown in her name and weirdly enough, that was all she remembered before she found herself lying in a hospital bed in country A and realized later that she had been in a coma for 2 years and had selective amnesia, so everything that happened from the day of her graduation to the night before she woke up from coma were lost and nobody wanted to tell her about it.

A few days after she woke up from the coma, she discovered that her mother had died some months into her coma and it was that same month Mr. Wales held a lavish wedding for his pregnant mistress.

To Jeslyn’s ears, it was more like they were celebrating her mother’s demise.

From there on, Jeslyn’s hatred for Mr. Wales was born and she cut communication with him, after all, he never asked about her well-being when she was in a coma.

Jeslyn moved in with her grandfather after leaving the hospital. She had thought that her grandfather and her would live awkwardly since they didn’t know each other well, but surprisingly, they hit off real good and that was the greatest decision she ever made in her life– they even turned out to be the closest amongst all.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the relationship between Christine and Mr. Lee.

Although the old man didn’t show any resentment towards Christine, he also didn’t try to force the bond that wasn’t there, so they had an awkward relationship.

However, that didn’t stop the old man from being a lovely grandfather who wouldn’t cater to his granddaughter. Whatever he did for Jeslyn, he also did for Christine.

...

Jeslyn blinked when she heard the sound from the iron gate. She turned to look at her inmates, but they weren’t where she had left them earlier.

"Wake up!" The wardeness yelled as she hit her baton on the gate, creating a loud ringing sound in the room.

"Come on, stop being a frustrated b!tch! Did you not get enough shag from your man last night? I can relieve your stress by eating your hole right here. After all, I do both genders, I’m neutral." Yellow said in an annoyed tone.

Even though Jeslyn wasn’t the best when it came to such slang, she still understood what that person was saying, and it was gross.

What on earth does she mean by eating her hole here?

"Shut the f*ck up, you as*wipe!" The wardeness yelled with her face turning red.

"Hahaha... it seems she’s a nubcake," Yellow laughed.

"That’s right, I haven’t seen this face before... so red like a tomato," Pink added.

The two ladies made fun of the wardeness who clearly wasn’t having it as she glared at them.

After feeling satisfied from mocking the wardress, Yellow asked: "What do you want? Don’t tell us it’s morning already."

"Glad you know that, now get your worthless a*s out of my sight!" The wardress yelled at them.

"M–morning?" Jeslyn whispered. It was already morning? She remembered she got into bed in the evening, so does that mean she was in deep thought until morning!?

"Hey, noob, get down!" The wardeness pointed the baton to Jeslyn who looked lost.

"Yes, ma’am," she responded as she tried to get down from the bed..
