A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily's body was stiff like a piece of wood. The touch of Jacob's hand on her birthmark gave her an uneasy feeling. She felt like was being burned alive from the inside. She nodded, in desperation," "Yes...yes...Whatever you say... Please, just stop it..."

'It's so embarrassing!'

Jacob's better nature asserted itself. He finally let go of her shirt. "You've been a good girl this time. So I will not punish you today."

Apparently! 'Jacob is a pervert!'

Emily's heart screamed out in distress. All of a sudden, she started to get worried for herself, she didn't want to relive the traumatic experience from yesterday again!

'Who does Jacob think he is? He is insufferably overbearing. Why must I obey him?'

Weak as Emily was, she did not dare to speak such words out loud. When it came to any confrontations with Jacob, she could only negotiate pleasantly on his terms. "Uncle Jacob, could you let me go first? I promise I won't run. Let's just talk this through, shall we?"

"No." Jacob denied it without a second thought.

Emily was completely frustrated. Before she could come up with a solution, the handsome face of Jacob appeared in front of her eyes; moving closer and closer--- not in a good way, but more in a bad way!

Emily struggled harder. Before Jacob forced a kiss on her mouth, her fragile nose accidentally hit his hard, chiseled chin.

"Ouch..." Emily was in so much pain that she burst into tears.

Jacob let her go immediately. He heaved her up. There was rarely a trace of worry in his tone. He asked, with concern," Does it hurt?"

Emily looked like an adorable rabbit, when she lifted her dim eyes to his face. She looked straight at him and did not utter a word.

The spectacle of her suffering convinced Jacob that he had been too hard on her. The feeling of remorse felt like somebody had poked his heart with a soft finger. His eyes softened as he asked. "Come here, let me have a look."
