Chapter 5

While everyone was cheering for their love, no one knew that Jacob had lost his mind.

His mind was filled with Jessica's numb and emotionless look, which made him so heartbroken that he could not breathe.

As soon as five minutes were up, he let go of Kelsey and turned to look at Jessica.

But before he could say anything to Jessica, the girl suddenly stood up with a sweet smile on her face.

"Seeing that Jacob and Kelsey have such a good relationship, I feel relieved. I think the sooner the engagement happens, the better. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first with Selena."

Florence nodded with a satisfied look on her face and responded, "Jessie is right. Kelsey is such a good girl, so we need to hurry up and seize the opportunity. I think it would be better for them to get engaged in five days."

Kelsey's father and mother also nodded, looking at Jacob with satisfaction. "You're right, Ms. Oliveira, our son and daughter have a good relationship, so it would be better if they get engaged as soon as possible. How about it, Kelsey?"

Kelsey stroked the table with her fingers and looked at Jacob shyly. "I'm fine, but I want to ask Jessica to be my bridesmaid. We're going to be a family after all."

Jessica paused in her steps as she was about to leave.

She turned back to look at Kelsey, her expression still calm and expressionless.

"I may have something to do in five days, so I won't be able to attend Jacob and Kelsey's engagement party, so I'm the first one here to wish you a happy engagement and a long and lasting life."

As soon as the words fell, everyone smiled with satisfaction.

Jacob's father, Damien Oliveira, laughed louder. "Our daughter has grown up. It seems that even if Kelsey marries into our family, she won't be afraid of having no friends."

Only Jacob stared at Jessica with dark eyes and obscure expression.

Jessica then pulled Selena away. She did not eat anything from beginning to end.

She felt a bloating pain in her stomach, so she covered it and slowly crouched down.

Selena looked at her with concern, her tone so anxious that she almost cried out.

"Jessie, he is such a jerk! It's fine if he's breaking up with you, but he's getting married to someone else so soon?"

Jessica was exhausted. She shook her head and looked at her best friend pleadingly. "Selena, please take me back first."

When she got home, the living room was pitch black.

But she did not turn on the light, instead she groped in the dark and opened the door to her room.

In the next second, a pair of strong hands grabbed her arms and pulled her into the room.

Before she could even scream, Jacob covered her mouth.

Then the hot and forceful kiss slowly moved down, along her cheek to her neck, leaving bright red marks.

She grasped his arm, barely controlling her desire to moan.

But the next second, he leaned over to her ear and said, "You can let out your moan this time, Mom and Dad are not back yet."

The warm breath was blowing beside her ears and Jessica dodged as usual, trying to break free from his control.

But the more she tried to escape, the harder he restrained her. In the end, he pushed her onto the bed and kissed her fiercely.

A few seconds later, a knocking sounded and Jessica's body trembled.

She raised her hand to push the man away, but he remained motionless.

Outside the door, Florence looked at her daughter's closed door with a puzzled look on her face. "Jessie, are you in there?"

Jessica opened her mouth, to say something to deceive her mother, but she did not expect Jacob to reach out and cover her mouth.

He leaned over to her ear, his voice gentle and low enough for only the two of them to hear.

"Weren't you quite talkative at the dinner table today? Call me your brother and Kelsey your sister-in-law and wish us a happy engagement and a long and lasting life?"

"Now let Mom come in and let her see what our relationship is like. Let her see how the brother threw his sister onto the bed and how he took off her clothes one by one."

He covered her mouth. She could not utter a word and could only look at him with horror.

The next second, Florence, who was standing outside the door, turned the door handle and tried to come in.

Chapter 6

Just as Jessica was desperately thinking about how to explain to her mother, she stopped turning the door handle.

She walked away while talking outside the door. "She must have fallen asleep. She even locked the door."

Jessica, who understood everything, pushed him away, with anger in her eyes. "Are you crazy?"

Jacob got up from her and sneered at her words.

"Am I crazy? I think you're the one who's crazy! It's okay that you were jealous and called Kelsey your sister-in-law today, but I've already explained it to you clearly. Why did you still say that at the dinner table today?"

Seeing the anger in his eyes, she suddenly lost her strength.

She did not understand. It was clearly just a revenge, so why did he pretend to be so affectionate, so affectionate that she mistakenly thought he loved her.

Jessica lowered her eyes, as if she was explaining to him or telling herself.

"Today at the dinner table, you personally put the family heirloom on Kelsey's hand. When we played Truth or Dare, you lost and chose Dare to kiss Kelsey for a full five minutes. Aren't you going to get engaged in five days? Shouldn't I regard her my sister-in-law?"

Jacob looked at her with helplessness.

He said harshly, "I know I shouldn't have done it! But my parents were there at that time, so I had no choice but to do that. Do you think I should kiss you in front of her parents and mine?"

He questioned her back.

For a moment, she did not know what to answer.

Jacob had promised her that he would take her abroad to get married, but he could not make it public before then.

So she nodded and responded, "You're right, you can't kiss me."

And you can't even love me.

Then what's the point of our relationship? You were with me out of revenge, so after so many years, you should have taken enough revenge and should be able to let me go.

You're going to marry Kelsey in five days after all.

Jessica did not say the rest of the words.

She lowered her eyes, letting tears slide down from her eyes, down her chin and onto the bed.

Seeing the expression on her face, Jacob felt a bit flustered.

Why was she crying now when she clearly affirmed his actions?

In the years they had been together, he had never seen her like this.

Back then, she was always cheerful and full of energy. Even when Damien wanted to introduce him to a girl, she always jokingly warned him that he could only have her as his girlfriend.

Now, even though the situation was similar, she was crying.

He took a step forward, hugged her in his arms and lowered his head to coax her. "I was too fierce. I'm sorry, baby. I apologize to you. I just couldn't bear it when you pushed me to someone else. Didn't we agree to be together for the rest of our lives? Don't forget it, okay?"

He kissed her lips gently and said, "Wait for me, okay? I will definitely take you abroad soon and then we will get married."

He then kissed her eyelids.

She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

It was obviously him who pushed her away first and it was obviously him who did not love her. So what was the point of saying all of these now?

Besides, she would be leaving in five days and she would not wait any longer.

Chapter 7

Jacob slept in her room that night.

Since they had a quarrel that night, Jessica did not close the curtains while sleeping. The sunlight shone through the window and onto her face.

As soon as she opened her eyes, no one around her.

When she turned her head to look at the clock on the table, it pointed to ten o'clock and she was stunned.

The Oliveira Family usually had breakfast at nine o'clock. Why did not anyone come and wake her up today?

After putting on her clothes, she opened the door and walked out. As soon as she went downstairs, she was stunned again.

Kelsey sat next to Jacob, in the seat that should have belonged to her, enjoying breakfast with a smile on her face.

Seeing her coming down, instead of feeling embarrased, she waved at her and said, "Jessica, are you up? Come and help me see which engagement dress is better for me!"

Florence turned her head and spoke up with a smile, "I was going to help her pick a few dress, but she insisted on waiting for you to wake up because you girls have similar tastes. Come and sit here."

Jessica lowered her eyes and stepped down the stairs step by step.

To tell you the truth, Kelsey did not think Jessica had a good taste. She asked her to help choose a engagement dress was clearly to mock her.

Mocking her for not being able to show her relationship with Jacob in public.

Jessica sat at the end of the dining table, looking at the photos Kelsey handed over and tugged the corners of her mouth stiffly.

"I'm not very familiar with such a thing, why not just ask my brother to help you choose?"

Hearing her words, Kelsey's eyes lit up as she placed the photos in front of Jacob and said, "Jacob, which engagement dress do you think looks the most beautiful on me?"

Jacob smiled, his tone full of indulgence. "You always look the most beautiful in any piece. If you like it, then we'll wear it all."

Jessica ate her cold toast, omelette and sausage in her plate and listened to the two of them showing their affection with no expression and no word from beginning to end.

After having breakfast, she walked out of the villa and waited for a car.

Since she was about to leave, she planned to spend more time with her best friend, Selena, before leaving.

She told Damien, Florence, Jacob and Kelsey that she was going out with Selena. But perhaps because they were busy talking about Jacob and Kelsey's engagement plans, they did not give usual response.

In the following days, Jacob left early and returned late to prepare for his engagement and he never even came to her room again.

However, it was also good that she could spend more time with Selena.

When the two girls were walking hand in hand, Selena suddenly grabbed Jessica's hand and looked at a place in shock.

"Jessie, look!"

Jessica followed her gaze.

On a huge advertising screen, a video of Jacob proposing to Kelsey was projected.

In the video, the man knelt on one knee. The usually cold and unapproachable Prince of the Oliveira Family proposed to Kelsey cautiously. If they saw closely, they could see that his body was trembling slightly.

Hearing Kelsey say yes to his proposal, Jacob devoutly kissed her fingertips and at the same time, tears rolled down her hand.

How much love did it take to make tears well up in a man's eyes when he heard a woman say yes to his proposal?

Not only Jessica and Selena, almost everyone on the street looked at the advertising screen.

A girl who looked about the same age as them was still sighing quietly. "As expected of the prince, his upbringing and appearance are impeccable and even his feelings are so loyal. It seems that Jacob really loves Kelsey."

Her friend nodded as she responded, "I can see it at first glance, he is madly in love with his girlfriend. Not only that, they look so well-matched. I heard they're getting married soon. I wish they live a happy life!"

Selena turned her head to her best friend and happened to see a tear flowing from the corner of her eyes.
