Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back novel Chapter 81

Liesel deliberately tried not to think about what had happened today, but she couldn't help it. The thoughts only grew deeper.

Rubbing her forehead, she stood up. Her gaze landed on the wedding photos hanging on the walls of the room.

In those pictures were Jacob and her.

They had been taken three years ago after Vincent insisted Jacob take her for a photoshoot. Even though Jacob had been reluctant at the time, he had no choice but to comply.

Vincent had specifically asked Edgar to hang the best shots on the walls.

In the photos, Liesel was smiling gently. Though a hint of worry lingered in her eyes, it was overshadowed by a deep longing and hope for the future—a yearning to build a life with Jacob.

At that time, she was so innocent. She stepped into marriage without a care for the world and somehow bound herself to it.

He didn't love her. No matter what she did, he would never love her. That was a foregone conclusion.

A loveless marriage was destined to wither. In the end, everything had become history.

Their marriage had been hurried and chaotic, while their divorce was even more so. It felt as if Jacob was desperate to rid himself of this burden.

Liesel found herself fitting into the role of the burden.

Looking at herself in the wedding photos, she could now see a hint of bitterness in her expression.

Meanwhile, the man beside her had always looked cold, impatient, and even disgusted.

Jacob's gaze had never changed from the beginning. He had never loved her. In fact, he had despised her.

Her chest tightened at the thought, and the smile on her lips felt frozen.

"What are you doing, Jacob? Let go of me!"

Before she could react, he lifted her off the ground. Her eyes widened in shock.

Just as her feet left the floor, Jacob crashed his lips onto hers with a fierce kiss.

It was overwhelming and aggressive as if he had no intention of giving her any time to react. It forced Liesel to lean back.

Only when her back hit the soft bed did her mind begin to clear, and she realized what was about to happen.

Her body trembled, not just from physical fear but from the coldness deep in her heart. She knew what Jacob intended to do, but she didn't want to, and she couldn't.

"Jacob, we're already divorced." She spoke to stop him. Her voice was hoarse at this point. "Your girlfriend is Natalie, not me. So please, don't continue."
