Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

At the airport, Jeslyn decided to go with Pink’s choice of airline, bluehair F2220 as it was the supreme aircraft with the best service.

According to Pink, the airline is owned by Rex, but no one except a few knew that.

With the disguised Pink accompanying Jeslyn, the airport’s security and identification checks went smoothly.

Maverick had asked Jeslyn to take his private plane lying dormant in the bluehair’s airport but she refused.

A while later, Jeslyn could be seen entering the airplane’s first class with Pink walking behind her.

Inside the plane, a flight attendant welcomed them and directed them to their seats.

Refreshments were served and everything seemed to be alright. The plane took flight after a long while of taking in three hundred passengers.

After about thirty minutes of flying through the sky, a commotion broke out as the pilots tried to get the plane out of the way, but the incoming rocket was serious about achieving its aim.

"Boom!"

The long plane broke into two halves. Each flew opposite the other as the wind took control of them, sending them where it pleased.

Thick smog and raging inferno consumed the plane as the pilots lost control of the plane. While burning, the plane took control of itself and dived headfirst towards the forest.

In no time, the news of the plane crash appeared on TV and in media houses. Names of the passengers were being announced.

"News flash!

An aircraft F2220, owned and managed by bluehair Airlines, crashed into the ocean in the heart of mystery’s forest approximately thirty minutes after leaving bluehair’s airport in Country M and headed towards Country A, dated 20th of October, 20XX. The thirty crew members and three hundred passengers were killed. The cause of destruction was a rocket.

Victims of this unfortunate incident are listed according to their boarding classes and a message was sent to their family members.

Our sincere condolences to the families of the victims.

This news is reported by Sharon Milestone, BFC news, channel 05."

Inside a black car traveling on the busy roads of Country M, Maverick stared at the message he received while listening to the news on his car’s radio.

The suffocation in the car became so intense that Code 10 and Code 2 almost couldn’t breathe anymore.

Maverick dialed Jeslyn’s number but it wasn’t going through. He called Pink but got the same response.

At the Lu residence, Valen stared dumbly at the flat screen on the wall, showing how the plane crashed into the sea.

For some reason, a bystander was making videos showing how the plane was broken into two and how the plane crashed into the sea.

Valen blinked for a few minutes before he picked up his phone and made a call. After one ring, the call was answered.

"Dad, what happened to Jeslyn? F2220 was her flight, right?"

"Hmm,"

"Why did you allow her to take a public plane?" Valen raised his voice a little above normal. His face was drained of color, and his breathing quickened but the child still looked composed even though he was on the verge of tearing down something.

"She’s stubborn,"

"Dad, go and look for Jeslyn and bring her back." Valen controlled his anger until he put his phone down.

Valen picked up a vase placed on the center table and hurled it at the TV.

"Bang!" The three-hundred-inch TV in the sitting room was shattered to convey how angry Valen was.

"Jeslyn, I dare you to die," he murmured as his eyes slowly turned red with sparkles of tears in them.

Meanwhile, Maverick’s mother saw the news and couldn’t stop laughing. "Should I call this a coincidence? Or is the universe on my side? Hahaha... they have always been. I didn’t need to do anything before Jeslyn was swept out of the way. Impressive, very impressive... hahaha..."

"Mom, what have you done this time? You only get this excited if you have done something sinful." Piper walked down the stairs looking hot in her white high waist pleated skirt that stopped just a few inches below her butt, a handless black crop top, and a white jacket she held in one hand. Her hair was let down and her face was caked with thick makeup, giving her a seductress’s vibe.

A lady dressed in a blue business suit with her hair made into a ponytail was walking behind her while holding Piper’s white handbag.

"Oh child, how could you say that? Your mother is just in a good mood. Hahaha..." her mother before she laughed again.

"If you say so, but I hope you are not helping that stupid Mulan get close to my brother. Mother, I’ll never accept that bitch as my brother’s wife. I don’t know how many times I’ll tell you that."

"Mulan had always been my second choice but since she already disqualified herself by making your brother throw her out, she’s also out of my list, so don’t worry about her."

"Really?" Piper raised a brow. "Fine then, so what’s your excitement all about?"

"It’s nothing big, the universe got rid of your brother’s wife and now he’s single again. Hahaha..."

"Oh? The universe or you?" Piper stared at her mother with suspicions in her eyes.

"Don’t think so lowly of me." The mother hissed.

"Do you blame me? Not like you aren’t capable of squashing the life out of anyone you don’t agree with." Piper rolled her eyes.

"Thanks for the compliment. You are starting to take after me, so I can also say that to you, child." The mother smirked.

"Thanks, Mom, I love to hear things like that. I’ll leave now, I’m late for my shoot, bye... love youuu." Piper blew a kiss to her mother before she left.

However, after leaving, a smirk played at the corner of her lips while staring at the number she just dialed.

After a few rings, the call got connected and Piper chuckled like a demon before she spoke.

"Congratulations, but you still can’t be with him."
