Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 215

215 Irritating Maverick

Damien felt a sharp pain in his heart as he looked at the disgust on her face. He knew without being told that it was directed towards him. Without a doubt, he understood that she was right to hate him as much as she does... strange! 1

He had treated her with so much disrespect ever since he made her his. He took her every single night without permission and as roughly as he could just to make her whimper but she proved to be a stubborn bull.

He even bullied her sisters just to see her beg but she never did. He went out of options to break her and in the end, he couldn't help going soft and trying to make amends. Even though he doesn't understand why he was feeling uncomfortable with the way he treated her in these past few days, he just realized that he was inhumane.

"Kimberly... Can we start afresh? I promise to treat you better." Damien paused in disbelief. why did he say all that? Why was his voice holding...tcars?! He was really about to cry??? This is too much! He turned and walked away, leaving her standing there.

Kimberly also couldn't pull out of the weird world Damien threw her into. For a moment, Kimberly saw a righteous man begging his wife to not divorce him and let them start all over again. "This isn't real." She told herself and started to walk in the direction he left in.

After they left, Code 2 came out from behind with his eyes trailing Kimberly's naked back. With his stoic face, he returned to where he came from.

It was an indoor event with lots of men and women in black either standing around with a drink in their hands or moving about. Some of them were discussing amongst themselves while others were standing or sitting alone.

Some men and women had on masks while others went mask-less. The likes of Damien and the lower continent members did not wear masks but the higher-ups did. Their sole reason was to prevent their identities from being discovered by malicious people.

The lower continent members are those that haven't contributed much to the organization.

When Damien walked in without a lady by his side, nobody thought it was weird. Those who were on 'good' terms with him approached him to strike up a conversation. While he was talking to someone, he caught sight of sexy Kimberly cat-walking into the venue.

All eyes turned towards her. Some lecherous men who couldn't keep their desires in check were almost drooling as they watched her walk towards them. Damien suddenly felt his heart vibrating with rage and he felt the urge to gauge their eyes out for looking at his woman like she was a s3x object.

Before he could conclude his mind to walk to her, Maverick who had never shown himself in gatherings like this before suddenly walked in through the door.

The noise ceased and all eyes turned to him. The people were shocked beyond doubt. Some of those who knew the conflict that had been going on between Maverick and the organization couldn't believe that the man would show up there. Coming to this party means that a person is considering joining the organization because it was a party held for those members who just went through at successful ritual ceremony to welcome them into the organization. So what was Maverick doing

here?

Maverick walked to an empty seat and sat on it... no, there was a woman's purse on it, but he shifted it away before taking the seat.

Kimberly who just left her seat a second ago to get a drink was flabbergasted when she saw Maverick. sitting there. Her heart leaped in joy. She had long thought of the moment she would see this man and what she would tell him but circumstances turned things this way for her. She suddenly felt ashamed and her strong front cracked.

"Have a seat," he broke the silence.

Kimberly whipped her head up immediately after she heard his cool voice. Her lips stretched into a faint smile and she immediately sat beside him.

Both of them said nothing to each other for a long time. Kimberly was quietly sipping her drink while sneaking glances at Maverick. Alpha Chaos, on the other hand, had the back of his head resting on the headrest with his eyes closed and legs folded.

Code 2 was standing behind him on full alert for any danger that might suddenly pop up.

Damien on the other hand was trying extremely hard to suppress the inferno that was raging in his heart. He was dying to kill Maverick for striking up a conversation with his woman but he didn't dare to leave because in this place that is filled with vultures, having a weakness and showing it was the same as giving your enemy a gun and bullet to shoot you. If he was on his turf, he could have done as he wished because no one would dare to make him an open enemy but in this place, his power was taken away, just like most of them here.

He ignored the men that were holding him down with meaningless talks and headed to where the both of them were sitting.

Getting there, he heard Maverick asking her, "do you mind a dance with me?"

"Yes, she min-" Damien cried out, however, she responded with a sweet smile. "No, I don't mind."

F*ck! This vixen had never given him any other reaction other than that bitchy and stubborn look. Does she love Maverick?! Thinking of this, his eyes flew wide open and he balled his fists so tightly that one could almost hear the cracking of his joints.

The music was on, preventing nosy people from eavesdropping on them. Damien sat across from Maverick like one on pins and asked almost in a panicking voice: "Maverick, what are you trying to do?" "What does it look like I'm about to do?" Came the reply.

"She's mine!"

"Oh, too bad, I'm interested in her

"Chaos!"
