A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob opened the door and carried her inside the car. As if finally straightened out his thinking, he said, "I shouldn't bother trying to reason with you, because it is not possible to reason with women. It's just better to solve problems with sex. If it doesn't work once, I will do it twice."

Jacob's huge stature towering over Emily inside the confined space of the car made her feel uneasy. She drew herself back subconsciously and said, "What are you doing?

"I am solving over problems."

"You are crazy! We're inside a car!"

"Would you like to do it outside the car?"

"Jacob!" Emily felt apprehensive and she panicked, "You are going too far. Do you want to force yourself on me like those animals from yesterday?"

"Did you just compare me to those rapists?" Jacob couldn't believe what he had just heard. He pulled Emily into his arms in a crushing embrace and said, "You've gone too far this time!"

Emily's words stabbed Jacob's heart like a sharp sword, and made him tremble with distaste and disappointment.

Jacob pressed his lips to Emily's in retaliation and squeezed her in his arms. "Damn, must I always force you to obey me?"

Emily felt like she was being strangled by a huge python. Gasping for air, she pleaded, "Let me go..."

"I won't."

"I promise I will listen to you..."

"It's too late now."

An air of ambiguity permeated the car. Jacob kissed Emily again and again, but he did not do anything out of the line.

Jacob hadn't forgotten what she had been through just yesterday. He made sure that Emily didn't feel unsafe in his presence.

Emily tidied up her clothes and fixed her hair. Her face was red, like a ripe cherry
