Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom -
Chapter 295
295 Rex's true feelings
"Get them!" 1
"F*ck Brian cursed as he turned to see the hooded ladies running over. What else could he do? Their lives are over, he thought.
Brian could only watch the hooded people run over to surround them. He was powerless and too weak to fight.
He could reveal his identity but his identity would rather make the priestess and her Zucchini, cucumber, or whatever she calls that ugly idol, angry even more.
"Zucchini is indeed right. She told me that you and your pair are stubborn and defiant. From what you've done, It's indeed true. Too bad Zucchini hates men, else, she would have married you like she intends for your chosen pair. But don't worry, your blood will satiate Zucchini for a while... Tie them up!" the Priestess commanded.
Just when the hooded ladies were about to grab Brian and Piper-
"Bang!"
A gunshot sound came from the entrance and the closest hooded lady to Piper fell as her life left her immediately. She was shot in the skull.
Everyone in the shrine was startled for a long while before the priestess screamed;
"Abomination! Who brings a weapon to Zucchini's presence!!"
It is forbidden to enter zucchini's shrine with a weapon, except a knife that the priestess holds for sacrifices.
"I did... what are you going to do about it?"
"Bang!" Another hooded lady standing by Brian was killed.
"Nothing!"
The mouth of a black gun shifted the red curtain out of the way and a blue-haired young man walked into the shrine.
He looked at Piper and said; "Hey, you look dead, tsk, tsk, tsk... you should thank my sister-in-law after this," with that said, Rex picked up Piper before leaving with Brian. "Take care of this filthy place," he commanded the tons of men he brought over.
Few seconds later, the loud sounds of gunshots reverberated in the cave before an outburst of fire shot out from the cave after Rex's people left; they had set the place on fire. Outside the place was littered with corpses of hooded ladies that were supposed to be the guadians of the place.
After everyone left, inside the flaming cave, a butterfly flew out of the nose of the statue and flew out through the window.
The gold cup fell from the idol's hand and the red liquid inside it splashed everywhere. The candles
went out but thanks to the flame coming from the burning cave, the place was lit.
Under the blanket of the night with a full moon as the only source of light, A few cars sped out of the
forest.
In one of the cars, Piper was resting her head on Rex's lap as she clutched tightly onto his blue shirt with all the strength she has left. Her eyes were closed.
For the first time, Rex gazed at her with softness in his eyes. His beautiful and proud sister looks like a sick child from the slum. It hurt his heart so much that he planned to kill Feng Gu himself. Memories of how he discovered this place flashed through his mind.
After leaving the Feng house, Maverick called him and sounded very serious while ordering him to go all out in search of Piper and Brian.
Rex understood why he would search for Piper but why add Brian to the search? He didn't understand until Jeslyn called him and described the place she saw in her dream. 3
Even though he assured her that he would, Jeslyn refused to stay calm. She would call at almost interval to know how far he had gone.
every
Good that he came, else he might have regretted it after Piper died. Rex had no idea that he could be this soft and compassionate towards Piper. He also had no idea that all the hate he had for her would suddenly evaporate like it was never there.
Rex slowly brushed her messy hair out of the side of her face and sighed; "Why did you get yourself into this mess? Why can't you behave and love yourself? Did you do this just to have your brothers running to save you?" he sighed again.
"Why did you stick to that heartless woman? I hated you because you loved that woman who hates your brothers so much. Who doesn't like to have a beautiful sister like you? I do... Everyday, I wish to come out and tell the world how much I wanted to protect you so no one would dare just you. But every time I saw you, you were always smiling with that witch by your side... why?!" he caressed the side of her face with the back of his fingers.
"Brother doesn't hate you either, he just doesn't want to have any relationship with that woman and he believed that acknowledging you would mean accepting your mother... see?
"Us brothers will welcome you if you denounce your mother and come to us." he lowered his head and
hissed her hair.
Unbeknownst to Rex, Piper had long woken up and a stream of tears were running down her eyes.
Never in her life would she know that her brothers never hated her. Never in her wildest dreams would she knows that they ignored her because of her moth-
Mother? No, she no longer has a mother. Her mother died the very first day she separated her from Brian. All these years, she had been with that woman because she thought her brothers hated her.
In a country like 'Paradise in hell', she needed to be under someone's protective umbrella, else she would have long died. Her mother was that protective umbrella she needed.
Now that she knows her brothers' thoughts for her, she can leave that woman now.
Piper couldn't contain the tears of sorrow and joy that was running down her eyes and wetting Rex's trousers right now.
Rex was also carried away by the pain he was feeling that he didn't feel the wetness on his trousers.
