Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 305

305 Blood on her hands 

Y–y–ve-” he lost the support of his legs and fell to the floor. “Pl- pleas- please, don’t kill me!” a 

“Why should I not?” the voice asked. 

Mr. Wales looked fearfully at the woman who was sitting on the top of a black car. She was wearing all black and was stroking a gun and looking lonely and sad. Her beautiful face looked like it had never graced a smile before. 

The face looked exactly like that of his second wife Alice! 

Mr. Wales‘ fear wasn’t bred from how his wife’s face was looking right now, but why and how she returned from death!… Or, Wasn’t she dead? 

Seeing the look on Mr. Wales‘ face, the person said; “I’m not who you’re thinking I am, but good that you still remember this face.” 

Immediately Mr. Wales heard that his brain jolted. The image of the woman who he killed her newborn daughter at the hospital flashed through his mind. 

“Y–y- you are-” 

“Don’t cause me to waste my time. I’m Alex, Alice’s twin sister.” 

Mr. Wales sat unceremoniously on the floor. He looked lifeless and exhausted. It was all clear now. 

The woman who he killed her newborn baby was Alex, and her twin sister who gave birth to twins was Alice! So he thought. 

“I heard bits and pieces of what you told my daughter when she visited you this morning, so I’m here to make some clarifications.” 

Mr. Wales froze. Dau- daughter? Jeslyn is this woman’s daughter?? How? Jeslyn was the child that his wife, Alice gave birth to, alongside a twin brother… right? 

Mr. Wales‘ face slowly turned from fear to confusion. His brows slightly furrowed as he tried to understand his own belief that was slowly clouding in mystery. 

“Don’t give me that confused face. You accused my twin sister of cheating on you and having someone else’s child. So for that, you allowed Bella to kill my sister’s child. You thought you were very clever and deserved applause. 

“Unfortunately, you are the most stupid person I’ve ever come across. My sister loved you like her life, which was why she was willing to cater to your whims and greed. 

“She used her influence to make you the Wales of the high echelon“. Even when she found out about your betrayal, she didn’t take anything from you and allowed you to live on with your oversized ego. 

“However, such a woman was accused of cheating and you had the heart to kill her baby which she brought into this world through agony and the threat of losing her life!! 

“My sister fainted twice in the labor room just to push out that child! She detested C.S. because you once told her you don’t like scratches on her skin. 

“Even the Half–heart tattoo on her back, you almost got her injured while trying to remove the tattoo 

without even knowing what it signified!!!” Alex roared. Her eyes turned fierce like an angry tiger. 

Mr. Wales was long lost in trepidation. From what he was hearing, it was already clear that he would die tonight, but what was scaring him right now was the fact that he might have killed his child. 

Like Alex knew his thoughts, she continued after taking a deep breath. 

“My sister loved you and for that, was loyal to you. However, when she died, you didn’t even have the decency to give her a nice burial and respect her death before you jumped into remarrying your first wife!” Alex chuckled and continued: 

“The newborn child who you and Bella killed, was your own flesh and blood and Jeslyn is my daughter.” Staring at Mr. Wale’s lifeless face, Alex went on. 

“How do you feel knowing you killed your own child? I guess it was satisfying.” 

An ocean of tears flowed out from Mr. Wales’s eyes. He felt a painful stab in his heart as a heart–wrenching pain of heartbreak tore his heart into shreds. 

Mr. Wales roared to the sky. At the same time, lightning flashed through the dark sky and the clap of thunder boomed, shattering the quietness of the night. 

Alex raised her gaze to the sky. It was about to rain as the wind was already starting to assault everything on its path. 

After a long time, Mr. Wales gazed at Alex. “Y–you aren’t- aren’t lying to me?” he asked in a stutter. His voice was inaudible and sounded hoarse. 

Alex stared at his dumb face and smirked. “When you get to see my sister, you can ask her that.” she pointed the gun at him, and without a second wasted, she pulled the trigger and a bullet flew into Mr. Wales’s forehead. 

“My daughter doesn’t need the blood of the man she called ‘father‘ to stain her pretty hands,” Alex whispered before getting down from the top of the car. 

Just as she was about to open her car door, she paused and ordered the few men around her. 

“Drag his body back to prison. Leave him outside the gate with a note stuck to his chest. 

‘A prisoner tried to escape, but a hunter accidentally shot him. A witness saw it all and sent the lifeless body back! 

“Write that on the note,” Alex instructed. 

One of the men looked up at the sky and then said; “It’s about to rain. Won’t the note get washed away?” 

“That’s the point“. With that said Alex got into her car and zoomed out of the area.
