Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 11

Jeslyn walked into the prison cell with a folded white towel, another pair of orange uniforms, and toiletries.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, she turned to look back but the wardress had left.

There were two ladies in the cell. Both of them giving the vibe of cold-blooded murderers. They had lots of tattoos on their bodies.

One was wearing her jumpsuit with the upper part tied around her waist, leaving only her white singlet while the other had her jumpsuit falling off one shoulder.

They had lots of piercings and weirdly colored hairs with yellow as the outline for one and pink for the other.

The prison cell wasn that bad, compared to the ones she saw on TV and the news.

The bunk bed had three frames with the first and middle one occupied, so she walked towards the bed to climb to the top.

”Hey, what are you? ” The one tying the upper part of her uniform on the waist asked with a villainous tone.

Jeslyn shivered and all the facade of confidence she had on was about to crumble when she saw the stare they were both giving her.

Those eyes were like those of a butcher who had seen a customer after so long.

”H–hi, Im Jeslyn, Jeslyn Lee. ” She introduced herself. The last thing she wanted was to have a problem with any of them.

”Nobody cares, newbie. Come here, ” the other one with pink hair waved her over.

Jeslyn put down her stuff on the middle bed and slowly walked to the lady.

”Good. Go down on your knees, ” she instructed.

”Huh? ” Jeslyn subconsciously reacted the way she would have if she was told to kneel by a stranger in her home. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

There was a frown of disapproval on her face.

”Are you deaf? The one with yellow hair asked.

Jeslyns head reacted before her senses. She shook her head in denial.

”So go down on your knees, you are too tall, ” said the pink-haired lady.

Too tall? She was just a girl with a normal height of 5ft 4, so how was she too tall?

It was clear that Jeslyn didn understand that what they meant wasn about her height, but for her to come down to their level since they were sitting and she was standing.

”Yellow, get her to her knees. ” The pink-haired one said to the yellow-haired one.

”W–what are you– thud! ”

She was forced to her knees as yellow kicked the back of her knees.

Jeslyn yelped in pain with her head lowered to look at her kneeling legs.

Rough fingers entered her view and rested under her jaw and raised it to make her look at the pink- haired lady in the eyes.

”You are beautiful, ” She stated.

Its an obvious fact! Im the prettiest lady in Rose city! She wanted to yell at the lady, but couldn find the courage.

”Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Too bad I hate to see pretty faces. ” The pink lady said with a shake of her head, shocking Jeslyn into leaving her mouth open.

”Hey, are you a goldfish now? Close your mouth. ” Yellow slapped her gently on the head. It was more like she was teasing than bullying her.

”Leave her be, she was too stunned by my words. Little goldfish, do not blame me too much for what Im about to do to your face. You should blame the lady who seduced that asshole that turned me into a mass murderer. If only she didn seduce my man with that pretty face of hers, I wouldn have tasted heartbreak and I wouldn have killed all the guests at their wedding. ”

Jeslyn froze in shock, fear, and disbelief consumed her senses. She was brought into a cell with such a sick person?

”Do you want to know what I did to the cheating duo? I took them out of the church and boiled them alive until they– ”

Jeslyn subconsciously dry heaved. Her innocent mind captured the scene and she couldn help but retch.

”Hahaha… Shes really a bunny, a cute bunny. I was just joking… ” Pink laughed out loud.

Jeslyn was a little relieved when she heard that, but then, Pink said this.

”… I didn boil them in a pot though, I poured hot oil on his d*ck and her p*ssy. ”

”Hahahah. ” Yellow laughed seeing Jeslyns widened eyes.

”Ok, now that is another joke. But your expression is priceless, I love it. ” Pink said with a laugh and let Jeslyns jaw go.

She rested her back on the wall and asked: ”So, what brought a little bunny like you here? ”

Jeslyn sat on the floor, feeling pains in her knees. ”I– I was framed… ”

”For a murder? ”

She nodded even though she didn know how Pink knew.

”Don be shocked. These prison units are for murderers. So, who did you kill? ”

”I didn kill him… ”

”It doesn matter, little bunny. You were brought here, so accept you killed him. ”

”I didn . ” She shook her head. How can she boldly accept she killed her grandfather?

”Thats your problem. You better man up and be brave. If you show the queen this bunny side of yours, youll be dangling from the ceiling the next day. ” Pink threw the warning nonchalantly.

Jeslyn blinked her long lashes in confusion.

”Ah, you don know who the queen is. Shes the– ” Yellow was about to explain when Pink stopped her.

”Forget it. Shell find out tomorrow. She just came in, let her rest. ”

”Thats right. You should rest first. ” Yellow said before she lay on the floor with her back.

Jeslyn climbed to the top bed with difficulty due to her aching knees and lay down on the bed, trying to block off their words that didn seem to make sense as they looked at her. It was obvious they were talking about her, but she wasn in the right frame of mind to care.

How again did she have such wicked people in her life?

Her sister, Christine, wasn really her biological sister. Her mother had seen little Christine roaming around the streets without a grown-up to watch over her, so she made the authorities take her away.

The authorities placed Christine under their care for some time while looking out for her parents. Christine was only three years old then. So when nobody claimed the child after three months of daily adverts and awareness to the public, the authorities decided it would be best to send her to an orphanage but little Christine held on to Ms. Alice and refused to let go.

econds. She would stand up and pace around for a while then return to her bench to sit.

Her exercise continued like that for five hours until the operation room door dinged open.

She rushed to the doctors who walked out with their nose masks on and asked in a frantic voice: ”Doctor, how is my grandfather? ”

The doctor sighed and shook his head, ”Im sorry, young Miss, your grandfather couldn make it. The poison had destroyed his organs and… Miss Jeslyn! ”

The doctors immediately supported her limp body before she touched the floor and helped her into a VIP room.

Jeslyn opened her eyes to a white room and heard a beeping sound. She turned to her right where the beeping sound was coming from and saw the monitor producing the sound. That was when she registered she was in the hospital.

She tried to sit upright but felt a needle pricking her wrist. She looked down at her wrist and it was an injection needle connected to a thin pipe. She sighed before sitting with her head resting on the wall.

It so happened that the TV screen in front of her was on and a funeral scene was being played.

She frowned when she saw a few familiar faces, and then the ones that hit her right on the core were Ray and Christine.

Christine was being held by Ray. Now thats not her problem. However, why is she seeing Christine crying so much while looking at… wait, her grandfathers picture?!

At that moment, Jeslyns mind turned cold. Shiver ran down her spine as memories flooded her mind. She forcefully pulled out the needle from her wrist, totally disregarding the fact that the drip was not finished.

She pulled away the white cover from her body and got down from the bed.

Taking her first step towards the door, pain hit her hard in the head but she ignored it and staggered out of the room barefooted.

While she was walking along the corridors, everyone she bumped into either gave her weird looks or pointed fingers at her, yet, that wasn her concern. She was too carried away to notice anyone.

She got to the road but found no taxi. However looking up, the billboards were playing her grandfathers funeral.

Inside a black inconspicuous car speeding across the road, Rex could be seen trying to force the groom to tell him who he got married to, but the groom was adamant about keeping mum.

”Brother, so you aren going to tell me who you got married to? Your lil brother wants to know. Tell me and I promise Ill zip my lips. ” He made a lip-sealing gesture.

The groom sneered, ”sure, Ill resurrect from the dead if a parrot like you could keep shut for two minutes. ” He answered with his eyes closed.

”Aai, brother, don be like that. I might be a parrot but– ”

”Screech!!! ”

”What the f*ck! ” Rex cursed after hitting his head on his brothers palm, thanks to the driver holding brake without warning.

Rex was about to hit his head on his brothers shoulder, but the groom was quick enough to stop his head with his palm.

”Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?! If you can drive them you are fired! ” Rex yelled at the driver in frustration.

”Im sorry young master, it wasn my fault, a crazy woman ran into the road. ” The driver apologized.

”Then run her over. ” Came the grooms annoyed voice.
