Chapter 8


    ”Ah, take it easy bro, thats a life we are talking about, ” Rex smiled.


    ”Should have known better than to jump into the road when the cars are moving. ” He said with zero


    feelings.


    Rex sighed. He turned to the driver and asked: ”Man, why aren you moving? ”


    ”Young master, the crazy woman is banging on the window. ” The driver reported.


    ”Then give her a few seconds, ” Rex said while looking at his brother and sighed in relief when he said


    nothing.


    The driver wound down the ss to ask what the problem was when the womans pitiful voice spoke.


    ”Please sir, can you give me a lift? Im heading to the Rose Cemetery. ”


    ”Sorry maam, we are heading to the airport, ” Rex answered. He wanted to yell at her, but that pain-


    filled voice pulled at his heart string.


    ”Let her in. ”


    ”Huh? ” Rex asked in confusion.


    ”… ” The driver was lost.


    ”Brother, you… ”


    ”Let her into the car. You got a problem with that? ” He raised his brow at Rex.


    ”N–no, no, of course, not. Hehehe… ” Rexughed sheepishly.


    ”Thank you, ” Jeslyn got into the front passenger seat with her hair looking like a birds nest with her


    face looking pale like a sick person. She looked nothing like the infamous celebrity many people knew


    in Rose City.


    ”Hmm, ” he answered her, leaving Rex in bewilderment. This is interesting, he thought.


    She was supposed to look back at the people behind, but due to how desperate to get to the funeral


    she was, coupled with the confusion and disbelief she was in regarding everything that has been


    happening since her wedding day, she didn care to look.


    After a while, the car became silent, too silent for Rexs liking so he decided to scroll over the


    entertainment news. He loves gossip and loves to make some if there was none, so the minute he saw


    the ring headline of a popr singer in Rose city trending, he couldn help butugh out loud.


    ”Wow, this is by far the most interesting trouble this sensational celebrity has caused ever since her


    debut. She abandoned her 5 years fiance for her cheating partner at the altar and married another,


    then killed her grandfather because he was disappointed in her for ruining the familys name and


    destroying her innocent fiances life.


    Now, the grandfathers funeral is being held and shes absent. Hahaha…what a wicked soul!…


    Hmmm… let me see what thement section is like…


    hahaha… I thought as much, shes being chewed alive… oh, thismenter is saying some weird


    things.


    Ah? Why are thesementers diverting from the main topic? It is obvious they were paid for this shit.


    This is not genuine, I should scroll past. ”


    The groom snatched the phone from Rex and scrolled through thement. Seeing the weird


    abominablements, he frowned slightly and raised his gaze to look at the girl in front but found out


    she was focused on the billboards by the side of the road.


    He closed the app Rex was on and kept the phone by his side.


    ”Uhm, thats my phone, can you please return it? ”


    He looked at Rex and then nced at the phone before he wound down the tinted window and threw


    the phone out, then closed his eyes and rested his head on the headrest.


    Rex stared wide-eyed at him. Whats wrong with this devil? That phone was just custom-made and sent


    to him yesterday!


    Even though his eyes had started to bore holes into the viin, he refused to spare him a nce.


    ”Even though you threw my phone away, I have already seen everything. It says that the D-list


    celebrity, Jeslyn Lee killed her grandfather because— ”


    At the mention of her name, Jeslyn who had not been paying attention to the people sitting in the back


    seat peeked her ears. On hearing the words that followed, she didn know how she found the strength


    to go against her weak mental state and responded.


    ”Mister, I appreciate the fact that you were kind enough to give me a lift, Ill be alighting from here, thank


    you… stop the car. ” She said to the driver.


    The groom who had his eyes closed all these while suddenly opened his eyes when he heard her


    words.


    The minute the car was stopped, he turned to look at Rex and ordered, ”get out. ”


    ”Huh? ” Rex who heard the words turned his gaze from thedy sitting in the front seat to the man


    sitting beside him.


    He had thought his brother was telling thedy in front to get out but was stunned when he met those


    emotionless eyes. Not that his eyes ever held emotions though.


    ”Thank you for the ride, ” Jeslyn said from the front seat as she was unbuckling her seat belt.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    ”Not you, young Miss. Rex, get down. ”


    Jeslyn was taken aback by that voice. She had heard that voice somewhere but can recollect where


    she heard it from. Her mind was still clouded and in total disarray with all the chaos in her life that she


    couldn make her mind to focus.


    She turned to look at the person but couldn see much as the car was dark and he had his eyes closed


    with the back of his head resting on it.


    ”Brother, you want me to get down? ” Rex pointed at himself.


    ”Hmm, now. ”


    ”In the middle of– ”


    ”You want me to pull you out? ” He asked with a curved brow.


    ”Hehehe… of course not, Ill get down, Ill get down. ” Rex swallowed his sorrow and opened the car


    door.


    The car zoomed off before he even got to close the door and he was very sure it was themand


    from that demon.


    Inside the car, Jeslyn sighed and said: ”Thank you, mister, but you really didn have to do that. That


    ce is dangerous and there have been multiple reports of bad things happening theretely. ”


    ”Hell be fine. ” He uttered with his eyes closed.


    ”Oh, ” she answered and shut her mouth. She looked out the window to see if she could see him but


    couldn .


    …


    The ck car stopped at a cemetery and from where the car stood, they could see people in ck


    standing in front of a grave.


    ”Thank you, mister. ” Jeslyn offered her thanks and got out of the car and started to run unsteadily


    towards the people.


    The driver was about to start the car when he heard that emotionless voice.


    ”Hold on. ”


    the video before literally shoving the phone into Jeslyns face.


    Jeslyn subconsciously rescued the phone from falling while coincidentally seeing the footage.


    What drew her attention was her old man. Teardrops slowly fell from her eyes and dropped on the


    screen.


    All that was being said or scripted in the video didn get to her. She wasn even hearing any of it as all


    her attention was focused on her old man.


    She brushed the phone with her fingers, outlining his figure and suddenly she jolted when thedy on


    the screen that looked like her pushed the old man who fell back and hit his head on the side of the


    coffee table.


    ”Grandfather! ” She screamed, at the same time, dropping the phone to the floor.


    ”Officers, arrest her! ” Christine said to the policemen that just walked over.


    ”Miss, pleasee with us to the police station. ” Said one of the policemen.


    ”I didn kill my grandfather, he was poisoned, ask the doctors. Christine, I did nothing to grandfather. ”


    Christine chuckled in rage. ”What doctors? Is it the ones you bribed? Unfortunately for you, the doctors


    testified against you. They told the police that you urged them to cremate grandfather the minute he


    was pronounced dead to hide what really caused his death and you also forced him to diagnose you


    with fake mental health issues… ”


    ”Thats not true! Stop lying! ”


    ”I didn lie against you, sister, those were the doctors statements in the station. ”


    ”Where are the doctors, tell me, they– ”


    ”Its unfortunate because the two doctorsmitted suicide out of guilt. ”


    ”W– w– what are you talking about? ” Her heart dropped to her stomach when she heard that. How


    was she going to prove her innocence now?


    ”You heard me. You killed two innocent workers too! Officer, take her away. ” Christine turned her face


    away in disgust as the policemen tried to force the resistant Jeslyn out of the crowd.


    ”Let her go. ” The voice wasn loud, nor was it low. However, it was able to stop themotion.


    The people turned to look at him. He pulled the policemans hand away from Jeslyns wrist and said: ”Ill


    bring her. ”


    Jeslyn raised her misty eyes to look at the man in front of her and slowly recalled he was the man she


    got married to.


    She wasn the only one who remembered who she was. Those present that attended the weddingst


    week knew this man because of his outstanding appearance and the suppressed air around him.


    ”I–its you? ” Jeslyn asked like she didn expect him to be here.


    ”What are you doing here?! ” Ray, who hasn said anything since finally spoke up when he saw this man


    again, his enemy.


    The groom ignored everyone else and held Jeslyn by the wrist as he walked her out of the crowd with


    the policemen following behind them and camera lights shing after them.


    The crowd watched as the man and Jeslyn got into a ck inconspicuous car parked not far away and


    Ray suddenlyughed.


    It wasn clear why he wasughing, but he murmured: ”Thest time he wasn wearing custom-made,


    nor branded clothes. This time also he is still wearing an unknown brand and even a rickety car. I was


    right, he only has that superior air and nothing else. ”
