Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

"Stop yelling and just do it ah, be fast about it." Brian hurried him.

A sigh left the Assistant’s lips before he got the laptop and started to track Brian’s GPS.

Brian is the first human who lives in Country M, yet knows nowhere except the places he frequented.

"Brother Brian, what are you doing in the woods outside of the city?!"

"Oh, what part of the City is this?" Brian asked.

"The southern part. It’s a very dangerous place."

"Why is it dangerous and who resides in this area?" If no one lives around here, why would Piper go here?

"There’ve been reports that people go missing when they go there and the authorities can’t find anything no matter how hard they try. As for who lives there, give me a little time to hack into the housing department’s database." The Assistant replied while his fingers flew through the keyboard.

With the way he types with fast speed, it was obvious there was more to him than meets the eye.

After a few minutes, he reported: "There’s only one house in the woods and it’s Feng Long’s holiday house."

"Screeeech!" Brian’s car came to a halt and his aura flared. So he has been following that slut for almost two hours, not knowing he was escorting her to her boyfriend’s house!

"Brother Brian, what’s the matter?" The voice from his earpod pulled him back to life.

"Nothing. I’ll see you in three hours." He ended the call and was about to turn around when he saw the car in front of him had left the road.

Brian frowned. On second thought, Piper wouldn’t come to a place like this. She would rather meet Feng Long in the city. Even though Piper was a bitch, Brian knew her more than he knew his parents. From years of being with her, he knew that Piper was a nut; hard on the surface and soft on the inside. She was the type that screams when she sees a cockroach, so why would she endanger her life knowing that she might lose her life here?

So there was nothing that would make her come here ALONE to meet up with Feng Long whom she hates.

Also, remembering how he saw her in her car, Brian got the idea that something was wrong. With that in mind, he fired on and zoomed through the road, careful like he had been doing to not be caught that he was trailing.

Once he got to where Piper’s car was parked, Brian got down and scouted the location before he saw a modern farmhouse up ahead.

"What am I even doing here?" Although he asked, his legs didn’t stop moving. "She would think I cared enough to poke-nose. I shouldn’t mind her life and death like her brothers, so why am I not going back?" He ruffled his messy hair in frustration.

He should be loving ladies like Jeslyn and not that slut, Piper but why isn’t his heart going in the direction that he wants it to go? This is just too unfair!

Getting closer to the house, Brian saw that the house was protected by a heavy team of guards.

"F*ck!" He cursed. "What am I supposed to do now? I can’t walk in there like it’s my house, can I? Neither am I in the mood to take lives." He sighed but continued walking forward.

Whatever happens, Feng Long wouldn’t dare to order his death. So he thought.

...

Inside the house...

An unconscious Piper was carried into the bedroom and gently placed on the bed.

"It’s getting late, you should leave." Feng Long said to the chauffeur who nodded and was about to leave when he paused.

He wanted to tell him about the blue car that trailed him but because he wasn’t sure if the car was really trailing him, he brushed the matter away and walked out. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Feng Long sat by the edge of the bed, staring longingly at the sleeping Piper. He has no intention of raping her. Even though Maverick and Rex seem not to care about her, who knows, they might suddenly care if she is humiliated, and getting on their bad side was something he wouldn’t dare to try.

The handsome young man got up and left the room.

...

The sky had been shrouded in a thick blanket of darkness, still, Brian was lying on a tree, close to the house. He didn’t leave, neither did he advance and worst of all, his phone had gone off.

At this time of the night, the woods looked spooky and exceptionally quiet.

"What is that idiot doing at a place like this and why would the government allow them to build a house here?" He murmured while chewing on a leaf for fun. He was bored.

Not long later, he heard Piper’s scream coming from the house.

"Excellent. Why is she crying?" He rolled his eyes before jumping down from the tree and started heading to the house.

The closer he got to the house, the louder Piper’s voice got until she went silent.

Brian’s heart thumped as a weird feeling flickered through his heart.

This is not good!

He doubled his steps and soon started running.

"Who is it?! Show yourself!" One of the guards cried out, alerting the rest of the guards who immediately stood alert with their guns pointed.

From nowhere, Brian jumped into view. Like a spirit, he swiftly rendered one useless by striking him on the side of his neck and taking his gun.

His movement wasn’t noiseless, so the nearest guard started to shoot at him.

Using the unconscious guard as a shield from the incoming bullets, Brian killed the two guards closest to him before getting the freedom he required to start a face-off with the others.

Inside the house...

Feng Long had dragged Piper inside a sub-basement. It was a clean space with proper furniture, However, being in there felt like being stuck in a hole; no windows, no doors, and one can’t hear sounds coming from outside.

"Wh– what are you doing?! Let me go!" Piper panicked when she saw the Young innocent–looking guy staring at her with pity.
