The Billionaire's Accidental Bride (Emma and Eric) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8

It was a funeral night, and I stood in a cold room, slowly removing the cheap rented wedding dress.

Ten hours ago, I sent Hugo Roberts a breakup message. This wasn’t the first time I had experienced

betrayal.

Five years ago in Paris, I thought I had learned how to face life’s cruelty alone. At the time, I had lost my pilot husband and thought that was life’s biggest blow. Unexpectedly, life had more trials in store

for me.

Now, standing after my father’s funeral, I faced another suffocating reality.

Hugo, just like Thaddeus, had destroyed my life with another woman. This seemed to have become an unavoidable destiny in my life.

This wasn’t the first time Hugo 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 Hugo’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, Hugo 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

But Bella seemed to remember something and quickly turned to pull out a black plastic bag from her

purse.

“Mr. Roberts ran several kilometers to buy these for me, but they’re not really appropriate for me to

Her innocent eyes blinked repeatedly.

She thought I still cared about this laughable relationship.

I curved my lips in mockery and coldly said after she finished: “Hugo, let’s break up.”

Whether the wedding was real or fake, I didn’t want it anymore.

Even the air around him made me feel nauseous.
