A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"I just want to keep you by my side," Jack said, as he looked Emily fondly in the eyes. Jack felt wretched about lying to her and hurting her feelings, but, he was determined to have Emily back in his life.

Emily felt helpless. She closed her eyes, and tears trickled from the corners of her eyes, forming two watery lines down her face. Overcome with emotions, she said, "Jack… Do you want to drive me crazy?"

"No, why would I do that to you?" he said. Jack wiped her tears tenderly with fingertips and said, "Emily. I just want you to break up with Jacob. That's all."

"So you intend to blackmail me with this picture?" Emily asked.

"If you think I am such a person, then I will be," Jack replied, a look of misery appeared in his eyes.

"You are nothing but a shameless, wretched animal!" Emily scolded him, trembling with anger and glaring at him with red eyes. "I never thought you could stoop so low, but you've outdone yourself," she added.

Jack smiled wryly, trying to appear casual, and then he said, "I don't care what you say about me, but today you have to break up with Jacob."

"What if I say no? What will you do?" Emily said, unwilling to compromise with him.

Jack held her face up with both hands, as a cruel expression appeared on his face. However, he said in a gentle, compassionate voice, "Why are you so obsessed with Jacob? Now that you've had sex with me, Jacob won't be willing to accept you anymore. I know exactly what kind of person he is. It's better for you to dump him first, rather than wait for him to leave you!

I'm not a very patient man, so I'm not sure when I will send this picture to Jacob's mobile phone. Emily, you'd better hurry up and come up with a decision."

Emily clenched her fists tightly, trying her best to suppress her anger. It took her a long time to say, "Okay, I promise I will break up with him. Can I go now?"

"No. I want you to call Jacob right now and dump him over the phone," Jack asserted.

"Jack, don't cross the line!" Emily yelled in disbelief, dumbfounded.

"I put my life on the line for you. Compared to that, this should be a piece of cake," Jack said, nonchalantly, as he grinned at her, with a determined expression.

Emily took refuge in silence. However, under his oppressive look, her effort ended in defeat. She took out her cell phone and dialled Jacob's number.
