A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Betty's lackeys rushed toward Emily as soon as they got the order. They backed Emily to a corner and surrounded her.

"Bitch! Don't you dare run away from Betty! Pin her against the wall! Let's see if she can get away this time," one of the lackeys threatened.

A rush of chill ran down Emily's spine, gripping her with fear. Frightened, Emily staggered backwards, but she was at the end of her rope, back against the wall. "Stay away from me!" Emily cried, helplessly.

"Hah, hah, hah!" Betty's lackey laughed wickedly, taunting her with menacing eyes.

"Bang!" A loud noise resounded in the room. Suddenly, the restroom door was kicked open by someone.

Everyone in the restroom, including Emily, froze on the spot. She squinted, unable to make out the face of the man, silhouetted against the bright light behind him, as he drew nearer towards her. As soon as she realized who the man was, she burst into tears of joy and cried out, "Jacob!"

Jacob? Suddenly, the reality of the situation hit Betty's lackeys like a freight train. Needless to say, the sight of the chief of police and a squad of policemen standing behind Jacob, scared them out of their wits.

"It's not our fault! Betty forced us to do this!" they said. Betty's 'not-so-loyal' lackeys instantly sold her out and denied any voluntary involvement in the matter, as they slowly stepped away from her.

Astounded, Betty gaped at them all, staring in stunned disbelief from one face to the next. She gritted her teeth to stop herself from cursing at them, because she didn't want to lose face in public. She sheepishly looked at Jacob and said, "I was just going to take care of her..."

But before she could weave a web of lies, she felt a fist hit connect with her jaw at so much force that blood pooled in her mouth.

Betty cried out, as pain erupted from the point of impact. Before she could even say anything, Jacob grabbed her head and brought his knee to her nose. He pushed her against the wall and ploughed into her stomach.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Blood leaked from her twisted nose. By the time Jacob was finished with her, she looked like she got hit by a car. Jacob's unbridled brutality echoed throughout the room, frightening even the hardened criminals witnessing the scene.

Betty was a bloody mess on the floor. Her chest violently rising and sinking with each shallow breath she drew in. She had never known the meaning of pain until now. She couldn't even fight back.

"I was wrong. It's all my fault. Forgive me please!" Betty begged, overwhelmed with fear and gasping for air.

Jacob wasn't convinced. Blood hummed in his veins as anger took over. He just couldn't hold back his anger at the thought of Betty hurting the love of his life. Jacob continued battering her face. The pain blazed up his arm, but even that did not stop him.
