A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

On his way to the airport, Jacob received a text from David - it was the address of his friend that he had told Emily to find after she landed. David also explained why he'd helped Emily in the first place.

Jacob just merely read the message and didn't bother replying. A moment later, David was calling.

Jacob ignored the call and instead sat in silence first to calm himself down until, he finally answered the call.

There was a dead silence. No one was speaking. David didn't expect Jacob to suddenly answer the call after he had rejected the call like a thousand times, so he hesitated at first when he heard Jacob's voice. "Jacob, I'm so sorry," he said sincerely.

Jacob's breathing sped up a bit, and he said with an expressionless face, "David, you owe me this time." He didn't wait for David to respond before he hung up the phone.

At the other line, meanwhile, David was stunned as the beeping sound rung through his ears. He drew a deep breath and exhaled, feeling helpless.

Late at night, in M country.

Emily had just arrived in this strange country. Instead of contacting David's friend, she opted to look for a hotel to stay in.

And it wasn't because she didn't trust David, it was because she was afraid that Jacob would be able to track her down and Rita and David might get in trouble with Jacob.

In the middle of the night, the streets were empty, and no one was walking around except for Emily. Only several street lights were on, and it looked desolate.

Emily dragged her luggage in one hand, her free hand holding her mobile phone. She opened the map on her phone looking for a hotel. The wheels of the suitcase were rubbing against the ground making some noise.

She didn't realize that danger was already approaching.

Emily was busy looking through her phone trying to find the right direction when a hand suddenly covered her mouth from behind and dragged her to an alley.

"Emm!" She tried to struggle herself free from this man's arms but it was useless because he was too strong for her.

"Shut up! And give me your money!" the gangster said.

Emily could, unfortunately, understand what he said. She calmed herself down and stopped
