Reborn Heiress: Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival

Chapter 5: Chapter 5. Infamous Kingsley Elm



Raymond was speechless for the next few minutes before regaining himself "Sir.."

"The wedding suit should be available tomorrow. I want it extravagant and also..." he thought for a while before asking "What do you think of a Diamond ring for a bride?"

Raymond opened his lips and shut it again as he screamed in his head 'What is going on??'. He stuttered "Sir, are you getting married?"

Kingsley blurted out impatiently "Yes. In two days. So what do you think I should grant the bride? A Diamond ring or gold?"

Raymond's eyes widened in shock as if they were about to fall out of their sockets "Sir, I-I think a Diamond ring would do" he said a little absentmindedly. His head was filled with thoughts, wondering who the 'unfortunate' lady was.

Kingsley hummed in agreement "Get that too. It should be up to taste and also rare" he concluded before ending the call.

He shut his eyes after that, his head suddenly aching. He couldn't believe he was leaving his comfort zone because of his grandfather. His heart hurt a little when he remembered how this was going to be the second time he would be calling a lady his bride...

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Two Days Rolled by quickly, the news of Trevor's pampered daughter and Jack Raven, CEO of Rave Corp, getting married was the talk of the town.

The News had spread like wildfire, Jasmine's parents couldn't contain their excitement as they allowed a lot of stations to air the news and they bragged about it.

Now, it was the D-Day, the day Jasmine had been waiting for and also...dreading.

Sitting in front of her mirror, staring at herself in that same familiar white wedding gown...Jasmine didn't know what to feel. She was scared and sad. This gown was stained with her blood in her previous life, she prayed the universe helped her to change this.

Her mom soon came behind her and helped to smoothen her already smooth hair. Seeing her mom, Jasmine tried to force out a smile "Mom..."

Her mother tried hard to contain her tears of joy as she stared at Jasmine in the mirror. "You are the most beautiful bride, my dear." She whispered, making Jasmine blink back the hot tears that were coming out on their own.

"Hush, don't cry girl" She quickly rubbed Jasmine's back to cajole her and Jasmine nodded painfully.

How could she tell her that she was killed on this very day? And it was even more painful how things were playing out just like they did in her previous life...

"It's time now, dear. Everyone is waiting" Her mother urged her. Jasmine nodded before taking in a deep breath.

"I'll be right after you," Jasmine said before grabbing her phone, her mom walked a few steps away from her.

Jasmine saw a text from Kingsley's assistant. {We are at the venue already and waiting.} She dropped her phone before walking out with her mother.

Getting close to the door, her father came and they shared a bright smile before they interlocked their arms. Her father walked her into the hall.

Jasmine didn't focus on the fair amount of people there, instead, her eyes immediately found o no that man! Jack Raven.

He was in all smiles, a big smile that helped conceal his devilish agenda. He was in a white tuxedo and black pants, his hair was styled to the side, and seeing him after she was reborn...Jasmine didn't know why she had fallen for him in the first place! She couldn't see the reasons anymore.

When she came face to face with him, she felt like vomiting on his face but she had to force out a weak smile on her face.

"Take care of her" She heard her father say to Jack in a hushed tone.

Jack grinned at her father just like that time and said the same particular words from her previous life "I will take good care of her."

He stretched the last sentence with his eyes shining as if he had seen his golden fish. He couldn't wait for the wedding to come to an end.

'My darling Lucinda, our dreams are coming nearer" Jack chortled in his head as he stared at Jasmine, counting down to the time when he would finally get rid of this rich daughter of the Trevor family.

If he could get rid of Jasmine, handling her parents would be a piece of cake. He thought despicably.

He held Jasmine's hand and she smiled at him, making him smile back, masking the disgust in his eyes.

Jasmine grimaced,suppressing the nausea as she faced the priest with him. They looked like the perfect couple as they waited for the priest to start conducting the wedding.

A few minutes into it, the whole guests watched along as Jack took his wedding vow and then it got to Jasmine's turn.

Jasmine smiled widely at Jack as the priest repeated. "Do you, Jasmine Trevor promise to hold and love Jack Raven through thick and thin, sickness and health, until death do you apart?"

Everyone waited for her to say "I do" but minutes rolled by without her responding.

Jack's smile faded as he whispered. "Jasmine, what are you waiting—" Before he could complete his sentence, a loud slap shut him up, and the impact of the slap threw his face to the side.

Everyone's jaws dropped at the sudden change of events. Gasps followed and shock was on the faces of everyone including Jack that was slapped by Jasmine who was always docile around him.

Jasmine's father stood up hastily, Jack raised his head and held onto his left cheek that was slapped. A look of Surprise was on his face.

Jasmine glared tightly at him. "You fool, you think I do not know your plans to have me killed today after the wedding??!!" She snapped, and everyone made an roared in disbelief.

Whispering and chattering followed as the reporters that were arranged in the corner of the venue started to film and take pictures of the event. Gratefully, the wedding was on live broadcast.

Jack's eyes widened in utter disbelief, "How could you say such a thing?? I love you, Jasmine. Why—" he trailed off, feigning hurt.

Jasmine scoffed before turning to face the people "Sorry Mom and Dad. Sorry everyone for this embarrassing situation but I would like to introduce to you all...My groom!"

Another round of whispers followed, and just then, the wide door opened, drawing everyone's attention.

When they thought they had seen enough surprises, seeing the groom was the biggest surprise of them all!!

Jack's face fell as he turned all shades of red. Anger raised in his chest when he saw his replacement!

His rival was his replacement??!! That was a tight slap on his face!

The camera flashes on the groom's face as he emerged from outside the door. His imposing aura made him look dashing.

Dressed in a black tuxedo and pants and a white sleeve underneath, Kingsley Elm looked breathtaking but that wasn't the only reason the people were shocked.

A disapproving look formed on their faces after their surprised expression wore off. They couldn't believe the Trevor heiress would settle for the infamous Monster! A killer who murdered his parents! Cold-blooded and ruthless Kingsley Elm!
