F1 Champion's Perfect Crash: When Love Takes The Final Turn novel Chapter 21

It was already past midnight when I finished dealing with my father's funeral arrangements. I returned to my cold room and took off the cheap rented wedding dress.

Ten hours had passed since I sent Jacob Sterling the breakup message.

This wasn't the first time Jacob had abandoned me for his secretary, Bella Lopez.

Bella was his personal secretary and my stepsister.

After Bella appeared, every single one of our dates would be interrupted by her, intentionally or not.

Sometimes she'd have an allergic reaction, other times stomach pain.

Those common ailments would become matters of grave importance in Jacob's ears.

I used to make a fuss about it at first, but later I came to understand my place.

All that remained was numbness.

I sat on the cold tiles, unknowingly drifting off to sleep.

When I woke up, Jacob was sitting on the sofa smoking, looking at the wedding dress on the couch with obvious irritation.

"Why aren't you sleeping in the bedroom? What's wrong with you sitting here? You nearly scared me to death when I came in."
