Escape From My Step Brother's Dangerous Obsession (Skylar and Callias) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 

Chapter 27 

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 Hugo Roberts the breakup message. 

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 me to death when I came in.” 

He frowned at my swollen eyes. “It’s just a fake wedding, isn’t it? It was fake anyway, we 

can make it up to you later. Are you never going to let this go?” 

As he finished speaking, Bella walked in with a bag of breakfast, using her own key. 

All my vulnerability was suddenly exposed.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between Hugo and me, Bella spoke innocently: 

“I’m so sorry, Skylar. This afternoon my period came, and I nearly fainted from the pain. If Mr. Roberts hadn’t found me in time and carried me to the hospital, I might not be here 

now.”
