Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 93

93 Half-heart tattoo

Pink pulled her into a hug again and started to slowly brush her back. "Chil... little bunny, we shall seek revenge." She said quietly, enough to sit in Jeslyn's mind.

Jeslyn broke into hot tears while nodding to Pi

words. "Those people are wicked..." she said

amidst tears. "They should have just killed me and left my family alone. I- I- I... sniff..."

"Do you know who your enemies are?" Pink sh ut her up.

"Christine, her sister..."

Pink shook her head. They are only puppets. Your family is also your enemy but they aren't the mastermind."

Jeslyn's cries abruptly stopped and she raised her head to look at Pink in silence. Pink sighed and turned to look at Blue, "Start the car." She ordered. "Yes, boss"

"What do you know, please tell me!" Jeslyn grabbed her hand tightly.

Pink patted her hand. "What I know..." she swallowed and stayed silent for a while. She slowly raised her hand and wiped Jeslyns while saying: "... Will be the end of you if you know. You are still too weak to know why all these are happening to you right now..." 1

"I can bear anything, please tell me, big sister, please!" She sobbed. 1

"Your health is your number one weakness. Secondly, you are not rich and powerful enough to fight them..." Pink stopped talking and sighed.

She had thought the Lee family could protect her till the end, unfortunately, they lost their lives because of her. 'Alice, Old Man Lee, Grandma Lee, I'm sorry for coming late. She closed her eyes and rested her head on the seat, ignoring Jeslyn who was still waiting to hear everything.

Still not getting an answer after so long, she understood Pink didn't want to say anything, so she balled her hands as she made a daring decision in her mind.

Power? Her husband has it. Health? She might not have it but her husband does. If she is too weak to replace out who those people are, then her husband isn't. He had asked her to use his power before and she refused, now she would shamelessly accept the offer and repay him with her body.

Jeslyn turned to look at the company that was moving away from her sight, with strong determination.

"Ma'am, where are we heading?" Blue asked.

"To the house." Jeslyn intended to go to other places to see how Ray and Christine were doing but as it stands now, there was no need since they were only pawns. Throughout the drive, the car was silent. Pink glances at Jeslyn from time to time. Jeslyn on the other hand was on her phone reading the entertainment news. "Interesting," she murmured.

Pink turned to look at her, "what has gotten your attention? Need to buy something?"

"No... Jesiyn repnea, sun scroning unrough ner phone. Chrisune just bagged an ambassador deal with the perfume company I told her about. M&G fragrance is the biggest perfume company in Country A. The deal was supposed to fly me to a B-ranked artist, however, I couldn't because of what happened. Now that Christine has gotten the deal, she will fly from D-ranked artist to C-ranked even though she hasn't made an official debut."

Pink was just staring at her, afraid Jeslyn would feel hurt or maybe cry but she had a distant look on her face. Pink patted her on the shoulder and replied: "All you need to do is whisper to your husband if you need anything."

Jeslyn shook her head. "A fight like this, there won't be satisfaction if I use any help. I can allow him to do other things for me, but you see Christine, Ray, and the entertainment industry, I'll handle them myself. I don't mind starting from the beginning. It doesn't scare me."

Pink smiled and gently patted Jeslyn on her head. "You are doing just great. Your mother is proud of you."

Jeslyn raised her gaze from the phone and looked at Pink. "My mother... She never wanted me to

show myself to the public. She hated attention and had always been protecting me from it. How is she proud of me? She must have been feeling disgusted, just like how she felt when I told her about my dreams of becoming a singer."

"Shhhhh..." Pink placed a finger on Jeslyn's black and s*xy lips, not afraid that the black lipstick would stick to her finger.

"Your mother is not like that. She loved you with all her heart and her heart hurts more than yours whenever she sees your struggles. She wanted to shoulder all of life's difficulties for you just so you'll remain carefree and live that happy life forever. She didn't want you to taste sorrow for even a second, which was why she left you." Pink immediately blinked back the tears that were gathering in her eyes.

Jeslyn stayed silent for a long time. She saw those sparkling liquid gathering in her eyes, she heard how her voice almost broke a few times, and she saw the awkwardness when she mentioned "leave you! A weird feeling suddenly wrapped around Jeslyn and she immediately pulled Pink's hand towards herself and unbuttoned the right sleeve. She raised the sleeve to reveal Pink's fair skin.

Pink didn't try to struggle. She allowed Jeslyn to do whatever she wanted. It was about time Jeslyn found out her identity anyway.

Jeslyn stared at the half-heart tattoo on Pink's forearm and her mind flashed back to the day she saw her mother's back. Her mother, Alice, had never revealed her back to anyone before, except maybe her husband. All her dresses always covered her back.

On that fateful day, Alice called Jeslyn into her room and locked the door. She undressed in front of her daughter with her back turned to her. Jeslyn was alarmed at the large half-heart that was on her mother's back. It was tattooed red on her back.

"At a point in your life, you'll see this mark on someone other than me. You might be misfortuned to see it on a larger group of people. Stay away from them, they are your enemy."
