So Selfless He Lost Me Chapter 10
Then Jacob did the unthinkable.He shoved Wendy aside—she let out a cry—and jumped off the stage."Nina, don't go!"I frowned, didn't slow down—just picked up the pace and slid into the car.As the engine revved, I caught Jacob in the rearview—sprinting toward us, totally wrecked.His eyes were bloodshot, voice cracking. "Nina, please! Don't go! I messed up!"Seth glanced back and let out a low whistle. "Yikes. You not gonna go hug it out?"I gave him a look, hand on the door. "Should I?"He dropped the sarcasm real fast and hit the gas.***Back home, a friend filled me in—Wendy lost the baby.The shove ended it.Mrs. Lynn flipped out at the hospital. Wendy wouldn't stop crying.My friend muttered, "No baby, no wedding, probably."I didn't get it. Wasn't this everything Jacob wanted?So why the breakdown now?Maybe it's true—people always chase what they can't have. And the ones who get all the love never think they'll pay for anything.Back then, I was all in. Gave u

As the wedding crept closer, my phone lit up with an unknown number.I answered—big mistake.Jacob's voice cut through, sharp and pissed. "Nina, where are you? What's this about breaking up?"I checked the time. Two weeks. Took him that long to realize I wasn't bluffing?I didn't bother replying. Just hung up and blocked him.Seth and I got married without a single snag.When he slid the ring on my finger, he straight-up cried. Said he'd loved me for years. Said he'd been waiting for this moment forever.The way he cried? Hit me right in the chest.I stepped closer, stood on my toes, and kissed him."Seth Stratford, from now on, we've got each other's backs.""Yeah. Always."***After the ceremony, I checked my phone—dozens of texts from a random number:[Nina, how could you marry someone else?!][Come home. I'll forgive you!][I was wrong, Nina. Please. Let's start over.][I'm sorry. Don't marry him. I'm begging you.]...I scrolled through every message, cool as ice

I had no clue how Jacob would take the message.Didn't really care.Right after hitting send, I blocked his number, deleted the chat, and got on a flight home.Outside the airport, I spotted Seth right away.Same old vibe—black trench, sharp jawline, sunglasses on, standing there like he owned the sidewalk.Every girl walking by did a double take.That's just who he was. Total natural.The second he saw me, Seth lit up, waving like a total dork before striding over.Before I could even say hi, he pulled me into a hug. "Nina!"I flinched, gave his shoulder a quick pat.He backed off fast. I shot him a look. "Personal space, dude. Boundaries.""Tch, it's not like you're—" He caught himself, stuck out his tongue. "Okay, okay. Got it."I rolled my eyes and let it slide. Classic Seth.In the car, I glanced over. "You came alone? Your parents cool with this?""Obviously. I'm here to marry my wife. Gotta keep the fam in the loop for that kinda thing."I cleared my throat. Time

Seth and I talked on the balcony for half an hour before I headed back in.Wendy was still camped on the couch, chatting with Jacob.The second he spotted me, his smile dropped. "You're not gonna explain?"I raised a brow. "Explain what?""That guy's name in your contacts." His voice was all sharp edges.I blinked, thrown for a sec.Where did he even get off asking me that?Like my dumb nickname was worse than him planning a baby with someone else?But whatever. Not worth it. "It was a joke."His jaw was still tight. "Change it. What if someone else sees?"I gave a quick nod.That took the edge off him.Wendy had been watching, and yeah—there was that flash of jealousy in her eyes.Right as Jacob opened his mouth again, she jumped in. "Jacob, Nina, how about dinner later? I've been meaning to thank you both for everything."With that look she gave me, I knew exactly what game she was playing.Trying to rattle me.I shook my head. I had packing to do and zero time for wh

Jacob's face shifted. He yanked the phone from me, eyes locked on the screen, mood tanking."Nina, who is this?"I didn't answer—just watched him, kinda stunned.Was that... anger? Jealousy?After all these years, I'd never seen that look on him.I used to think nothing touched him. Like he was ice, all the way through.But now? Not so much.Weird.I thought he didn't care.Back in college, some guy confessed he liked me. Jacob walked in mid-scene.Did he freak out? Nope. Just stood there, all cool and unreadable.That's when it hit me—he either didn't care, or that was just him. Ice-cold by default.No jealousy, no fight, no effort to keep what wasn't his.So why now?I took the phone back, met his stare. "It was a joke."His brows pulled together like a puzzle piece just snapped into place."It's Seth, isn't it? You're still talking to him?""Yeah."Wendy leaned in, nosy as ever. "Seth? Who's that?"Jacob didn't say a word—just kept staring.I clutched my phone, d

Mrs. Lynn's face tightened. She clearly backed her daughter, but even she knew this wasn't a good look.Before she could say anything, Jacob made the call."Nina, you can take a cab home."Wendy threw me a quick glance, a smug little smile tugging at her lips as the window rolled up.I didn't flinch.Classic Jacob—always asking me to step back for Wendy.Right on cue, snow started falling.Light at first, then settling into a thin layer.I crouched, scooped up a handful.Cold.But not colder than my heart.***When I got home, Jacob was already packing.Without even looking at me, he said,"Wendy's not doing well. I'm gonna stay with her for a while. You'll have to cab it to work."I said nothing.Wendy was upset, so he was off to spend the night. To comfort her?I didn't ask. He didn't explain.He zipped up his bag, walked out, and didn't come back for a week.Not one text.But I knew what he was doing every single day.Wendy made sure of it—videos, selfies, pictu
