A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jack could still recall the sight of her eyes reflecting the fireworks. It was like stars falling inside her luminous eyes, sparkling and extremely beautiful.

"Mr. Jack is really at leisure. Looking at the fireworks all alone. Are you thinking of someone?" A woman's voice suddenly came from behind him, the tone ladened with undisguised mockery.

He frowned, turned to glance at her contemptuously, then said, "What are you doing here?"

"I've come to see you, of course." Jennifer walked up to the French window, and standing uninvited next to him, enjoyed the fireworks which painted the night sky. Her lips curved into a cruel smile, "It's so beautiful. I can't imagine that someone like you, can be so timid and afraid of getting back the woman that he loves, now that she has returned."

"So what? It's my business." He was extremely disgusted with this harridan standing next to him, and his tone was not friendly, "Why? Do you want to take advantage of me to reach your own goals? I advise you to forget the notion as soon as possible. No one has ever taken advantage of me. I always take advantage of others."

Despite her plot being revealed, she was not embarrassed and tut-tutted, "You've seen through my plan? I thought that we might cooperate once, since you want Emily, and I want Jacob."

"Get out of here before I throw you out!"

"Why are you so angry? Think it over carefully. Are you willing to... to submit your beloved woman to others...? Then you really are a coward!"

"Jennifer, don't think I won't beat a woman. Now get out!"

Despite his anger, she was not afraid. Oddly, she seemed happy, as if she had found balance in her heart.

She reasoned that she was finally not alone in her misery. She was not the only person in the world who had fallen in love with someone who did not reciprocate. There were so many people who were experiencing the same pain and suffering as she was.

After Jennifer left, Jack hit the window angrily with his fist. The opaque glass became delineated with white cracks that spider-webbed across the surface.

Jennifer had asked him if he was willing to give up.

How could it be! How could he be willing to give up!
