A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

After moving out of Tyrone Mansion, Emily moved in to her old apartment, where she had been staying for the past couple of days.

During that time, Jacob did not make contact with her.

Emily felt sad, but at the same time there was this inexplicable feeling of relief in her heart that she couldn't understand. At least, for the time being, she didn't need to stress about the fact that she needed to explain herself to Jacob for what she had done.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Tap-tap-tap"

Emily, who was dozing off on the sofa, finally came to herself as soon as she heard the knocking on the door. Fast food and takeouts were what she was living on these days so she assumed it was the delivery guy. She opened the door without much thought.

However, to her disappointment, the man standing outside the door, was the last person on earth she wanted to see.

"Hi, Emily," Jack greeted her with a smile on his face, and he looked as handsome as ever.

Emily's face turned cold in an instant.

Without further delay, she decided to slam the door on his face, when Jack quickly put his arm against the door and stopped her from shutting him out. He quickly explained, "Emily, I didn't mean to bother you. I just wanted to see you!"

"You are a petty, malicious man! You have some nerves showing up here after what you've done to me!" she said. Emily couldn't close the door, but she could only glare at the man in front of her with crimson eyes, overflowing with anger. "Get out of here!

I don't want to see your face again!" she added.

Jack's heart ached for her, yet he still stubbornly refused to let her close the door on him, as he gazed at her deeply.

Emily looked like she had lost a lot of weight since the last time he had seen her. Her long, black hair scattered over her shoulders, and her face had an unhealthy pale appearance with two black rimmed, sleepless eyes. Once she had been vivid with life, but now she was but a ghost of her faded glory. Feeding off despair and anguish.

Although, Jack's heart cried to see Emily like this, he did not regret his actions.

"Emily, let me in. We need to have a little chat," Jack said, sternly, with one hand slowly pushing the door open and the other carrying a bag of food. "I brought you lunch. It's still hot," he said.
