Chapter 97: He Is Insane!
Twenty-four hours after being left by Matthias on the altar, Stephanie was a shadow of her usual alluring self. She kept herself confined in the bedroom, refusing to come out, even when Samantha continued pleading from outside.
Stephanie’s perfectly styled blond hair was now disheveled, the curls undone and frizzed from hours of tossing and turning on her bed as she continued crying.
Remnants of mascara left hideous streaks on Stephanie’s pale cheeks. The makeup that had once enhanced her beauty yesterday was now smeared across her face.
Stephanie had changed out of her glamorous wedding dress. Now, the luxurious gown was reduced to a crumpled, golden mess shoved at a corner of the room.
The hem was dirtied by mud and the delicate lace was torn. The enchanting image of the wedding dress from yesterday was only a memory.
Stephanie only came out of the room briefly when Mrs. Silvera marched into the villa. She actually hoped to see Matthias but, he was nowhere to be seen.
Unwilling to be bothered even by Samantha, Stephanie barricaded the door with a chest cabinet. Her palms were all swollen from pushing the furniture piece to the door.
"What... what have I done wrong?"
Still unable to bear the responsibility for her actions, Stephanie questioned her fate. More sobs escaped from her lips but, her bloodshot eyes produced no tears anymore.
"T-this... this can’t be..."
Staring blankly at the silk spread of her bed, Stephanie let out broken cries. She still couldn’t accept that Matthias left her at the altar after exposing her affairs with Leon.
