Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 304

304 Why he hated his daughter (2)

You can’t look after your wife, can’t you?” her voice came again with a tinge of anger in it.

“I-” before Mr. Wales could speak another word, he felt a hard object descend on his back.

“Ahh!” he screamed in pain.

His instinct told him he was hit with the butt of a gun and he wasn’t wrong at all.

“You don’t speak unless my Master permits you!” the same guard yelled and then kicked Mr. Wales in the side of his stomach.

Mr. Wales yelped in pain but didn’t dare to scream out loud.

With her heels taken off his fingers, Mr. Wales was able to feel relief for a while.

“You married Alice, yet she got pregnant for my husband. I have every right to believe that you are in on her betrayal, and for that, you’ll have to die“. The voice came again, this time, languid and bored. 5

Mr. Wales wanted to desperately plead for his life, or better still, tell the unknown lady he wasn’t aware of his wife’s betrayal but the fear of getting his spinal cord broken with the butt of a gun made him stay mute.

He was shaking all over and even peeing on himself from how scared he was.

“I don’t want to waste my time on a useless man like you. That child in your wife’s womb, nurture it well and make sure it’s healthy. I’ll be back 9 months from now. When she gives birth to a boy, hand him to me but if it’s a girl, kill her.

“My people will be around you 24/7. Even your cook was placed there by me, try to play smart with me and you’ll be sorry.”

With that, she got into her car and they all left.

Mr. Wales was devastated. He hid his knowledge from Alice and changed his behavior towards her. He used to be loving but stopped showing her love or care, at the same time, for Alice not to find out about Bella, he started to pretend he cared until she birth.

When he realized it was a girl, he paid the doctors to sedate Alice and allowed Bella to kill the child. However, after killing the child, he and Bella left the hospital but met the gunmen at the parking lot. Mr. Wales sent Bella away and hurried to report his job to the gunmen but they rather told him that he

lied.

“Your wife gave birth to twins. Return to the ward and bring the Male child.” They told him. Confused, Mr. Wales went back to the hospital and was shocked to find out that a woman who looked exactly like his wife had also given birth and was sleeping in the room closest to his wife’s.

Surprised and alarmed, he couldn’t differentiate who was his wife and who wasn’t among the two look– alikes. The two women were wearing the same hospital gowns, the same hairstyles, and the same peaceful expressions on their faces.

There was never a time Alice told him she had a twin sister, so Mr. Wales had no idea.

Because he wasn’t very smart, Mr. Wales concluded that this woman who gave birth to twins was Alice, his wife! So, Mr. Wales killed the female child and took the male child to the people.

Miraculously, the female child didn’t die. Mr. Wales had no idea because after he sent the Male child to those gunmen, they shot him in his chest, took him far away from the hospital, and dumped him along the road, thinking he was dead.

Fortunately, a passerby was quick to pass through the scene and helped him to the nearest hospital. The bullet grazed his heart but he managed to survive the surgery.

Even though he stayed in the hospital for a few weeks, he didn’t allow Bella to tell Alice what happened to him.

When he returned home, Mr. Wales was flabbergasted to see a female child with his wife. She was named Jeslyn.

He tried to kill Jeslyn a few more times but the child had a long life to live, which was why, when Emilee brought the idea of injecting Jeslyn with ATOM, he didn’t think twice but to agree. 1

Jeslyn gasped in astonishment after hearing Mr. Wale’s confession. She broke into a fit of laughter before tears slipped down her eyes.

“You’re a wicked soul, Mr. Wales!” She got up from her seat and grabbed her purse. She was about to leave when she turned and promised with a villainous smile on her lips.

“I’ll crush your daughters. They’ll beg for death but none, shall I grant a quick death!” she said in an inaudible voice, almost like a whisper.

“Wh- what about what you promised me?!” Mr. Wales asked in a panic.

“Hahahah…”

Even after Jeslyn left the visitor’s room, her sardonic laughter still echoed in Mr. Wales’s mind. He didn’t need her to say the words, but from her reaction to the story, Mr. Wales believed that Jeslyn was

coming back for his head.

If only he knew that the one coming for his head tonight wasn’t Jeslyn, but a more scary being.

In the middle of the night, all the inmates were sleeping, however, Mr. Wales‘ cell was being opened.

A warder got into the cell and woke Mr. Wales up.

“If you want to live, follow me now!” the male voice said to him. The person had a black face cap covering his face but was wearing a warder’s uniform.

“Wh- who are you?” Mr. Wales panicked.

“Your daughter, Emilee sent me to fetch you. Jeslyn sent some people to kill you tonight,” the person

said.

Hearing it was his daughter, Mr. Wales didn’t doubt the person anymore. Nobody knew he had a daughter, Emilee. Those that knew are already dead.

With the help of the man who seemed to be an expert in jail breakouts, Mr. Wales escaped from Prison.

To him, he was being taken to his daughter. However, when the car suddenly stopped at an unknown location and he saw the person who brought him out of jail, Mr. Wales nearly fainted.

“Y–y- yo–you?” he stuttered.

“Yes, me. Do you remember me?” the person’s cold voice broke through the thickness of the night, sending a chill down Mr. Wales‘ spine.

“Y–y–ye-” he lost the support of his legs and fell to the floor. “Pl- pleas- please, don’t kill me!”
