Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 389

389 The race 

She’s a beautiful woman, born from a decent, respected, and morally upright family. What more do you need in a woman?/She’s intelligent, and most of all, you two grew up together.” (1 

Brian grabbed the keys and started to walk towards the door. However, by the time he got to the entrance, a few men in black blocked his way. 

“Listen to your mother, young mas- 

“Bang!” 

“Arghh!” 

ון? 

Brian watched the guard with condescending eyes as he rolled on the floor from how ruthlessly he had tossed him over his shoulder just now. 

Two guards blocked the entrance with their hands outstretched. 

“F*ck!… I don’t want to fight today. Get out of my way.” Brian tried to rein in his anger. He had been fighting for his freedom ever since he returned home. 

“What’s so good about that worthless woman…what’s her name again?… Piper? Will you only listen to me if I kill her?” 

“You dare!” Brian screamed like an Insane person with eyes spewing fire. 

“Fine. I won’t kill her… I won’t even touch a hair on her head, but only If you agree to marry.” 

“Leave that boy alone. He’s old enough to make his own decisions.” A deep voice sounded before a middle–aged man walked out of the house in pajamas. 

Nancy ignored her husband and picked up the glass of wine she was Just offered by a servant. 

Seeing that his father was here, Brian took the opportunity to leave the house because the guards wouldn’t dare to stop him now. 

Nancy dismissed her guards afterwards. Only she and her husband could be seen in the large sitting room a moment later. 

“What do you think you are doing?” 

“What else do you think?” she snorted and was about to walk into the house when her husband- grabbed her arm. 

“If you hurt my son or his girlfriend in any way, I will make sure you suffer a fate worse than death!” he threatened. 

Madam Nancy paused to take a proper look at her handsome husband, who was an older version of Brian before she chuckled and patted his face. “What can you do? You couldn’t do anything 27 years ago. What makes you think you can do anything now?” 

“Do not tempt me, Nancy!” he uttered, obviously restricting his fury. 1 

The woman laughed softly, “I’m not asking for too much. Stop spoiling your Son, and let me do my job as his Mother.” 

The handsome man took a deep breath and lowered his tone. “I might have allowed my life to be ruined by the circumstances you and your family created years back, but don’t ever think I will allow you to ruin my son’s happiness!… Brian is no longer a child, and he can make his own decisions.” The man had no intention of backing down. 

“Hehe,” She chuckled and closed the distance between them. The atmosphere was intense, but she wasn’t feeling it. She raised her slender and beautiful fingers and started drawing circles on his chest, then articulated, “On two conditions darling… get me the rainborite Ore, or spend the night with me… it’s been 27 years since you last touched me… do it this time. Make me feel like a woman, and I’ll leave our son’s affair alone.” (1 

The man grabbed her wrist, stopping her from going further with her fingers that were messing with his pajama’s button. His face looked disgusted as he stared at her. 

She smirked and wiggled her hand off his hold, “See, you can’t do it.” She walked away from him while saying, “Brian is my son, and as his mother, I know what is best for him, and that’s what I’ll do!” She entered the inner room and shut the door behind her. 

The middle–aged man shut his eyes and tightened his fist while gritting his teeth. 

Brian was seen on his motorbike, breaking road protocol as he sped across the night city without a proper destination in mind. The young man was enraged, and the only way to calm his head was to feel the wind, sing in the studio, or do dangerous sports. 

After running a few kilometers away from his estate, another motorbike joined him. Brian first thought the person was another guard sent by his mother, so he increased his speed, but after realizing the person was minding their own business, he relaxed. 

“Mind joining me in a dangerous race!” the other person asked. Her helmet was opened at the front so she could get her words across. 

Brian, who had been down since he left the house, suddenly grew excited. He loves dangerous sports and does it a lot when he’s in a bad mood. 

“The pleasure is mine!” he screamed across so the lady would hear him amidst the loud sound of roaring motorbikes. 

The lady hit the high gear and sped off in a flash. Brian curled his lips before he also did the same and joined her in the race. 

Their speed was so much that the power of the wind almost blew off their helmets, yet they had no intention of stopping. Good thing the road was free of vehicles.
