A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily shook her head as if to clear it. Then she put away her phone and went to put Beryl to sleep.

After a while, Emily lay in her own bed. It was already midnight but her mind was chaotic that she couldn't sleep just yet. Emily had been having nightmares recently--tossing and turning through the night. She often dreamed of dark, mysterious places and when she jolted awake, her heart would be pounding rapidly.

Emily handed Beryl off to Zoe and left right away without even having breakfast first.

She was driving at full speed at a relatively empty road when a child suddenly crossed the road. She didn't have time to slam on the brakes so she steered her car to the side as fast as she could.

Boom! Her car hit a black Aston Martin that was parked on the side of the road.

The child was stunned by the crash. Before he could do anything, his parents rushed to the scene, took him away and disappeared at the end of the road. Neither of them wanted to get into trouble since there was no possibility that they could afford the damages of two luxury cars.

Emily was a bit relieved because she was able to swerve on time and the child was fine. But then she realized that the black Aston Martin wasn't empty. 'There's a man in the car? Oh god, I hope he's fine.'

Before Emily could step out of her car, the man inside the black Aston Martin had already stepped out and was walking towards Emily's car.

This was the last thing that Jack expected to happen. He'd already had enough with Jacob nowadays and this one time that he was in the mood for a ride and his car got hit! On top of that, he wasn't even driving! What a bad day!

He initially thought to just ask his assistant to deal with the driver but he was in a mood and he wanted to talk to this person directly. He was even considering giving the driver a taste of his fist and maybe then a small sum of money afterwards for the damages.

"What the hell is wrong with…" Jack already had his hand reached out ready to pull the driver's door open when Emily stepped out. He froze and he looked horrified as if he'd just seen a ghost.

All his anger flew out the window. Jack felt as if he was just dumped with a bucket of ice water over his head.

"I'm really sorry, I swerved and I was avoiding the kid who was in the middle of the road. I didn't see you parked there so I didn't mean to hit your car, don't worry I'll pay for all the damages," Emily said apologetically as she took out her phone and dialed the number of a traffic enforcer or the police probably.
