12 The Crash

Jacob woke up early that morning determined to find any information about his wife. Since Jenny Do has been avoiding him deliberately, he cannot find any chance for him to get to know her.

While driving his SUV, he takes a look again at Jenny Do's biodata. It says that she is from a nearby Lantana Province. So, he is going to her province and find anything he could find.

Meanwhile, that morning J woke up early as well. She drank her coffee on the balcony. It was almost daylight so she hurriedly finished up her coffee and went straight to the bathroom to take her usual shower routine. She is a bit vain when it comes to taking care of her skin. Daily after she takes a shower, she massages her whole body with raw honey and milk. She also keeps her skin hydrated the whole day by drinking lots of water. Before she goes to sleep, she uses a honey and milk face mask. She never uses any chemicals to take care of her skin. As a result, she has radiant and rosy fair skin. She even looks younger than her age of 30.

When she was done, she changed into a navy blue shirtdress and a pair of white sneakers. Then she let her hair loose. She didn't even bother to dry it up with a blower.

She takes a cab then heads to a high-end residential building. The first six floors of the building are a designated parking area that is bought or rented out by car owners who don't have a parking space in their homes. She took the elevator up to the sixth floor. She walks toward the farthest area of the floor where luxury cars are parked exclusively with a guard. She showed the guard a VIP access card then the guard let her in. She continued walking until she stopped in front of a blue sports Car with elongated sides strake and a full carbon fiber body.

For some reason, J is fond of sports cars and race cars. And she preferred a grand tourer because of its speed and she usually takes a long drive to relieve stress. Her car falls in the category of a grand tourer. It has a large cabin and trunk space.

The interior is very luxurious and spacious, perfect for a long drive. It has an exquisite interior finish. It has an elegant white interior color with unique hour-glass stitching.

As she sat on the driver's seat, she adjusted her seat and stroked the steering wheel. It has been two weeks since she last drove this car. She smiled excitedly. She can only drive the car on her day off whenever she goes to the Lodgepole Estate.

She put the glass key into central control of the car and started the engine. Not long after she is driving down the highway to Lantana Province. She is so thrilled, she opened the window and lets the air blow her hair. Her adrenaline was rising as she stepped on the gas.

She has been driving since she was fifteen. It was Lance who taught her. Since then, she has always been passionate about driving. It has become a habit for her to play music while driving, it was like a mood booster for her. So, the combination of music and driving is like a drug to her.

On the stereo, country music is playing. She is a big fan of country music. It has been part of her everyday life. When she heard Kelsea Ballerini's Legend, she turned up the volume a bit higher and sang along with it.

On the other side of the province, Jacob reached the province. He heard from James that today is J's day off. Jacob instructed James to find out J's personal contact number. Soon Jacob received James' message with J's number on it. He wanted to know her whereabouts. Although he knew that she would not tell him, he still wanted to try. He is her husband so he has the right to know.

When J got to the central town of the province, she slowed down at a maximum speed limit. It's also starting to build up traffic when her phone suddenly rings. She reached out for her phone that is inside her bag. Her brows furrowed as she looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen of her phone. After a couple of seconds of hesitating, she answered the call but she waited for the other line to speak first.

"Hello, Jenny?" when she heard the familiar voice her heart skipped a beat. Her mind went blank, and her finger weakened. There's only one person who calls her by her real name. Bang! Suddenly a loud sound in front of her car awakens her thoughts.

Damnit! She crashed into a black SUV in front of her! How could she not see that? Maybe because she was absent-minded for a while. She has never been reckless when it comes to driving. This is the first time that she crashed into another car.

She was so anxious she didn't get out of the car, instead, she pulled up the car window. Not long after she saw a familiar figure step out of the black SUV. Her eyes widened in shock, she got more anxious. Damnit! Of all people why does she have to crash into Jacob's car! She stayed in the car for a couple of minutes to calm down.

Jacob is getting impatient. He has been knocking on the window of the blue sports car that bumped into his car but the driver of the car is not getting out. The car is heavily tinted so he cannot see the driver inside.

Not long after a police officer approached him. "Sir, what happened?" Jacob turned and said while both his arms were on his waist "This car crashed into my car. But he doesn't want to cooperate! He's not getting out of the car. How could he drive a sports car irresponsibly?"

The police officer approached the car, knocked at the window, and said "Sir, please come out now to explain and face the consequences. You are now causing a traffic disturbance." The police officer continued knocking for a couple more minutes. Jacob's temper is now rising. Suddenly the door opens.

A girl with messy long hair, wearing a casual dress and white sneakers came out of the blue sports car. Jacob and the police officer were stunned. When Jacob noticed the police officer's jaw dropped a bit, he wanted to punch him in the face. How could he look at my wife like that!

"Y-you..." Jacob choked on his word. J looks at him irritatingly. If he didn't call her, she wouldn't have lost concentration and crashed into his car.

"Sir, do you know her?" the police officer who already regained himself from being stunned asked Jacob. Jacob answered with "Of course, I know her, she's my wife!"

The police officer was shocked and felt embarrassed when he remembered how he looked at the lady earlier. Soon he returned his composure and asked Jacob with authority "So sir since it's your wife who crashed into your car, what do you want to do now. Should I invite her to the station?"

'Of course not. I won't let the other officers feast their eyes on my wife.' Jacob thought to himself. He looked at J, she was looking at him with a 'Don't you dare' look. He smiled then turned to the police officer and said. "No need. Just take her license, impound her car then I'll take her."

J was dumbstruck. She would rather go to the police station than go with him. Then she heard the police officer say, "Miss hand me your license please."

J is losing her temper. She closed her eyes to calm down. Then she took her bag and took her license and gave it to the police officer.

"And the car key please." the police officer added.

She gave him the glass key of the car. The police officer looked at her confused. Since her Sports Car does not use a regular key, she instructed the police car on how to use it and how to drive the car. Soon the police officer drove the car enthusiastically back to the station.

J looked at Jacob like she had been tricked. Then she stomped her feet and walked towards the SUV's passenger seat. Jacob followed her with a pleasing look. He called her in an attempt to know her location, but that call brings him exactly to her location.

Jacob started to drive while glancing at J now and then. She is looking outside the window with the earphones on her ears. She was silently angry. He thought. He was wondering, how could she afford a sports car? A nurse's salary is not enough to buy or rent that kind of car. She doesn't even have a relative in the elite circle. But he doesn't ask her directly. Not now. Instead, he asked her "Where to?"
