Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 238

238 Making a deal with the devil

Staring at the pale–faced Kimberly, Damien didn’t know what else to do to ease her suffering. Although she was sleeping, her face was in a deep frown and sometimes, she groaned. It appeared as if she was in a lot of pain. 1

“Kim, what should I do?” he sighed for the umpteenth time.

“Master, I think she needs to be taken to the hospital,” Randy spoke from the door.

“I know that, but there’s nothing I can do.”

“But she’s suffering!”

“Elder Five won’t let her live, stop talking like an idiot.”

“I’m sorry boss,”

Damien closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: “Arrange a plane to get her out of here.”

“S–sir?” Randy was shocked. Isn’t he the one who wouldn’t allow her to leave?

“You heard me!!!” he roared. “Get the damn plane!!” He is already regretting his decision to let her leave but he has no choice right now. The vapor of the chemical must have done some damage to her. Damien knew that Elder Five wouldn’t just leave Kimberly hanging over that pool for nothing. Whether Damien killed Maverick like Elder Five requested or not, Kimberly would have died due to the chemical she inhaled.

“Cunning bastard. Pray I don’t get my hands on you, I’ll make sure to squeeze the miserable life out of you.” Damien gritted his teeth as he thought of the well planned scheme of that God–damned Elder.

“B–but boss, she can’t leave unless someone takes her. The only person who is intending to leave the island right now is Alpha Chaos.”

Damien can’t leave the island right now because of some personal reasons, so he needed someone to help him take Kimberly out of the island and send her to his hospital.

Damien glared at him. “Is there no one else who is leaving?”

“No, boss.”

Damien took a deep breath. “Where is the bastard?”

“He should be at his residence.”

Damien got up and closed his eyes one more time as he made one of the greatest decisions of his life. He glanced one last time at Kimberly before he turned towards the door and walked out.

Maverick was in his sitting room, typing on his laptop when Code 5 brought the news of Damien’s

arrival.

“Let him in,” he said.

Code 5 nodded and walked back to the gate to allow Damien into the house.

“Chaos,” he called as he walked towards Maverick who didn’t raise his head from his laptop.

“I have a deal to make with you.” He added. Seeing that Maverick wouldn’t look at him, he sighed and sat on the black couch. “I know we’re on bad terms. However, Chaos…” he sighed deeply. “I need your

help to take my woman out of here. I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Maverick raised his gaze from his laptop and asked: “Why should I help you?”

Damien thought about it for a while. That’s right, why would Maverick help him? He had done a lot of bad things to this motherf*cker in the past, so why would he save his ass now? Thinking of how to remedy one of his many crimes against Maverick and Jeslyn, he said: “Because I have something that your wife needs.”

Maverick arched his brow. “What do you think that my wife needs that you have?” His lips curled ever so slightly.

“The

property papers.” He forced the words out of his lips. That damned Emilee gave him the fake documents. She thought he wasn’t aware of her petty games. Thinking of Emilee, a wicked smile crept onto Damien’s lips. He has never hated anyone like he hates that bitch and he hopes that he wouldn’t die before he meets that lady and whoever is backing her up.

Looking at the changes appearing and disappearing on Damien’s face, Maverick tilted his head. “Oh?” “Chaos is that not enough to take Kimberly away from here to get treatment?…” Seeing that Maverick had no intention to answer him, Damien balled his fist and suppressed the bitterness in his heart. “Please…” he uttered.

All his life, he had only uttered that word a few times whenever they came to inject him in that dark room. Although that word was supposed to be a plea, to Damien, it was approval because whoever told begged him, dies a painful death.

He hated apologies and pleas as they triggered those horrible memories he tried to run away from. Maverick looked at the earnest man and was busy searching for the defiant Damien in his eyes but couldn’t find him anywhere. The man sitting across from him was nothing but a desperate and heartbroken man in love.

Maverick lowered his gaze to his laptop and asked again: “Why do you deserve

my help?” Damien flattened his lips and thought for a while but couldn’t think of any reason why Maverick would want to help him. If he was in Maverick’s shoes, he would have killed Kimberly just to aggravate Maverick but Chaos wasn’t doing that, nor was he making things hard for him. Why? This is unlike Maverick and it unsettled Damien, still, he felt he had to say something.

“Probably because you respect women? Or maybe because you know how love is? Chaos, if Jeslyn was in Kimberly’s place and your enemy is the only way out, you would have begged them for help, right”

“With something that is almost equivalent to my wife’s life.” He cut him off

Damien chuckled bitterly. Of course, this is Chaos. He would never do anything for free. It was already surprising that Maverick was having this conversation with him. For everything he had done to Maverick, the beast was supposed to be pointing a gun at his head now. “What do you want?” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“The source code for your underdeveloped virtual world.”

Damien swallowed. “That would mean giving you half of the Yu family’s foundation. It will weaken the Yu family’s power!” He frowned.
