Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 246

246 Opening up to Yellow

At another end of the City, Pink was seen dining with Yellow, after cutting her steak, Yellow asked: “What’s going on, boss?”

“What do you mean?”

“You’ve been acting weird lately. You’ve killed five high–profile people, including Lela, and that wasn’t a mission given by the Master, so what are you up to and why don’t you let us get involved?”

Pink ate the food in her spoon and continued to eat other things on the table without answering. Seeing this. Yellow sighed.

“You know, you can trust me, right?” She asked.

“I trust my girls.”

“Then why are you carrying this burden alone? You are not a lone wolf, you have a powerful family, Us! So why are you endangering your life?” Yellow knew what Pink was doing because she wasn’t trying to cover her tracks at all. It felt like she was intending to catch some people’s attention.

“You see.” Pink thought about it for a while. She wasn’t sure if it was ideal to get Maverick’s force involved in her troubles. Soon, she decided against it. Getting them involved would endanger her daughter’s and grandson’s life and she doesn’t want that. “…Just leave it be, Ashley. I’m treading on danger and the last thing I want is to get you all involved. It will be more appreciated if you look after Jeslyn and Valen.”

Yellow lowered her head. ‘Ashley…‘ When was the last time someone called her that? She had forgotten she used to bear that name until now. She took a deep breath and continued to eat in silence.

Pink glanced at her and also sighed. The table was suddenly filled with loneliness as both. parties got lost in their inner struggles.

After the meal, Pink started to clear the table. It was her duplex villa, a place she never thought she would be staying anytime soon.

Yellow watched her enter the kitchen before she got up and went to the sitting room. The room was devoid of life and color. One wouldn’t be wrong if they called it a cemetery- two black sofas on a gray rug. No TV, the light in the sitting room was dim, nude paint on the wall, and so on. It was just too tasteless for anyone to live in. It was simply too depressing.

“Boss, this house is very depressing. Jeslyn might want to pay you a visit one day and seeing this wouldn’t sit well with her. When are you going to change the interior?”

Hearing that, Pink froze. That’s right, she hadn’t thought of that and now that she was reminded, she’ll have to do something immediately but certainly not in this house. Her enemies already know she Hives here. It would be better to buy a new house,

“You are right. I should do something about it sooner…Eh, help me contact the housing company. Choose a decent house, I’ll send the money into your account. Buy the house in Jeslyn’s name and-”

“Now, now, Pink, get your ass right here and tell me what the f*ck is going on. Don’t you dare tell me otherwise because I’ll f*ck you up if you hide anything from me anymore!”

Pink was shocked and stood rooted in her spot. She blinked a few times as she looked at the

angry woman in front of her. It’s been a long time since she saw Yellow this angry and Ashley had never spoken to her in this manner before.

“You, you just broke a rule…”

“I don’t give a f*ck if you’ll punish me later, but you are going to tell me what the problem is, else watch how I get Jeslyn involved!” She folded her arms on her chest with a brow raised, waiting to hear the story that Pink has been bucklingup.

Pink sighed and walked to the sidebar, picked out two glass cups, and filled them with strong alcoholic drinks before she headed back and passed one glass to Yellow.

Yellow accepted it and placed it on the glass table in front of her, staring at Pink who was taking sips from hers.

Pink didn’t know how to start telling her story. She’d always been the type that doesn’t involve people in her matters or tell people about her suffering.

“Jeslyn is my daughter.” She looked at Yellow and saw she wasn’t surprised. “You already knew?”

“You were too obvious enough for me to catch up.”

“Since when did you find out?”

“Prison. You protected her like a mother hen would their chick. When she left, you started to pester Rex to get us out. When we came out, you were over–caring and started to show defiance to the Master, probably because you blamed him for marrying your daughter and getting her mixed up in a bigger mess. You had no problem taking out people when Master didn’t order a kill. These days, you personally take up missions that are related to Jeslyn and her past, so, I forced Jeslyn’s Nanny to spill the beans.”

“How did you get that stubborn woman to tell you anything?”

“We lived together for some months and I observed she loved Jeslyn too much for her own good, so I threatened her with Jeslyn’s safety.”

Pink shook her head helplessly, then asked: “The others, have they found out too?”

“Not sure. I have been with you the longest and I know you a little too much.”

Pink gulped down a mouthful of drink before she started to tell the story: “My child has no idea that most of what happened to her and my family was my fault…”

After Pink explained everything, including the organization, she laid back on the sofa.

“You mean, you were a member of the half–heart organization?”

Pink nodded slowly.

“Then, Jeslyn is a member too?!” This caught Yellow aware. She couldn’t believe that her little bunny was a part of that ‘mentally ill‘ set of people.

Pink sighed. “She’s not supposed to be a legitimate member since she was no longer pure but for some reasons, the Doyenne wants her by all means and doesn’t care whether she’s pure or not.”
