She Blocked the Highway for Her Crush ,Then Lost EverythingChapter 1

I was behind the wheel on the highway fast lane, my right foot flooring the gas pedal, the speedometer needle climbing past 105.

Ahead of me, my wife drove a red Ferrari, blocking my lane, forcing me to slow down.

To my right, my wife's college junior Cecil Fox steered a cargo truck alongside me at the same speed, boxing me in so I couldn't move.

My wife's text message lit up the screen, furious.

"You think you're so good at punishing people? Cecil made one wrong turn on a delivery route, and you cut him off and slapped him across the face."

"Today I'm going to make sure you know exactly how that feels!"

I glanced at the backseat.

My father-in-law sat there, gasping for air, his left hand pressed against his chest. He was in critical condition.

Gretchen Frost had no idea. The car she was boxing in wasn't just mine. She was cutting off her own father's only road to survival.

...

Just minutes earlier, I'd wrapped up a meeting and pulled out my phone to find a message from my father-in-law, Norman Frost.
