Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 216

216 Stealing his woman 

“Damien,” Maverick raised a brow with his lips curled in a taunting smile. 

Damien took a deep breath to calm himself. “What do you want?” He suspects that Maverick knows he likes this girl and is out to vent. If he didn’t know Maverick too well, he would have ignored this obvious scheme that he is cooking up. Damien was sure that Maverick was still in the dark in regards to the plot he carried out on Jeslyn,.Valen, and him 7 years ago. He believed that if Maverick had known, he would rather be after his life than wanting to snatch his woman. 

Damien couldn’t bear the thought of another man bedding his woman- Especially not Maverick. He would rather lose all his wealth and his most treasured life to see that happen! That was how crazy he is for Kimberly. 

“Nothing… I want her.” Maverick said with a deadpan face. 

Kimberly’s feelings at this moment cannot be summed up with words. She couldn’t believe that two world class men would be fighting over her, a fallen heiress. This can’t be real. She took a glance at Maverick and remembered what her mom told her before she died. 

“Find Alpha Chaos and give him this necklace.” 

Kimberly slowly raised her hand and clenched the pendant on her necklace. She doesn’t know why her mother laid emphasis on this necklace all her life. Even her father wouldn’t say. 

“Kimberly, let’s leave.” Damien got up and stretched his hand towards her. 

“Kim, the dance floor is-” 

She didn’t let Maverick finish before she jumped up. “I would like to dance with you, sir Chaos.” 

Maverick held her hand and started to walk her towards the dance floor. Just then, the angry–looking Damien screamed. “Have you forgotten about Jeslyn?! You are cheating on her. How do you think she would feel if she found out?” He smiled cunningly, believing he had hooked Maverick. 

Maverick came to a halt. Without turning back, he responded. “Not your place to talk about my wife.” 

Kimberly’s face fell. He’s married? Then why is he doing all this? Her enthusiasm was dampened but honestly, she wasn’t angry or jealous in the least. Neither does she love Maverick romantically. She just likes this man and felt he would be the source of her and her sisters‘ freedom. 

On the dance floor, Maverick and Kimberly started to move slowly to the music. Meanwhile, Damien had discreetly taken a picture of May and Kim on the dance floor and intended to send it to Jeslyn once he leaves this place. “Chaos, you’re going to regret this.” He spat out before sitting begrudgingly and grabbing the glass of wine Kimberly left behind. 

Kimberly kept on stealing glances at Maverick’s cold face, not knowing how to start a conversation 

with him. 

“Spill it. He said Without looking at her. He had caught her opening and closing her mouth a few times like she had something to say. 

“My mother sent me to you with this necklace. 

Maverick finally looked at her face before trailing his eyes to her neck. Sitting on her clean neck was a long chain with a heart pendant. 

“Who is your mother?” 

“Josephine.” 

Maverick couldn’t recall knowing such a person but didn’t dismiss the situation. “Hand the necklace.” 

Kimberly stopped dancing and took the necklace off, then handed it to Maverick. 

Damien, who was watching from the side, could only picture the exchange as Kimberly giving a token of love to Maverick. He had seen that necklace on her neck a couple of times. Each time he wanted to touch it, she wouldn’t allow it. Now, Maverick had effortlessly taken it. 

Angered, he stood up and strode with large strides to them and forcefully pulled Kimberly away to drag her home. Even though the party hasn’t started, to Damien, it has ended. 

After they left, Maverick also started to walk out. He was there to expose Damien’s weakness and he has succeeded, so no need to remain there. 

Unbeknownst to Maverick and Damien, some hungry wolves had been observing them from a corner all this while. One of them was Davis and the other was a young man in a mask sitting alone. 

“Boss, it seems Damien finally has a weakness.” A guard said to Davis. 

Davis chuckled and said, “we’re not the only ones who saw that. We’ll be watching a good play very 

soon.” 

The Young man who had a mask on said to the guard who just walked in. “Report to Elder one, Damien has got a weakness… Also, send those pictures you took to Maverick’s wife.” As the core member of the fraternity, he has access to send and receive information to and fro the outside world.
