Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

398 Father and son at the hotel

The intruders were caught off guard at first but a moment later, they found cover and also started shooting at the bed.

Pink moved away from the bed and also sought cover as the shooting continued.

Behind the floor–to–ceiling window, one–of Nancy’s right–hand men, Death, who was known for his brutality, pulled out the safety pin of the blast ball he was holding and threw it into the room. The ball produced a white foam of tear gas, which not only debilitated Pink, but the others too.

Pink’s throat, eyes, and nose took in the impact of the tear gas immediately as it spread inside the room. Even so, she was determined to fight against the irritating, pepperish, and painful effect before she was shot by Death with a tranquilizer, in her neck.

Pink pointed her gun at the window while she was feeling dizzy. Before she could aim at the tall man who was walking towards her, she swayed and fell to the floor.

The next morning…

The family of three sat at the dining table, eating breakfast as usual. Brian was rushing over his meal because of the date he has and also, he wanted to drop by the hotel to see Pink.

Hwang Min on the other hand, also wanted to leave early to see Alex. As for Nancy, she was quietly picking one meal after another in an unconcerned manner.

They were almost done eating, yet Nancy didn’t make the atmosphere awkward for was the first time.

Hwang Min glanced at her, she looked peaceful and proud like always but today, there seems to be something different about her that he couldn’t place his fingers on. Although he knew something was not right, he didn’t ask her, nor alert her, but decided to watch her closely.

Brian got up after he was done eating and left the table without speaking to anyone.

“Son?” Nancy looked up at Brian. Catching his attention, she continued, “Don’t keep your date waiting, it won’t speak well of us,” she smiled with her lips sealed.
