A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Am I not good enough?" Sean asked, as he tightened his arms around her. It was almost as if he was trying to fuse his body to her with his embrace, both mentally and physically. "You wanted me to help him recover his memory, and so I did. You said you would kill yourself if he had died, so I let him alive. What did I do wrong? Have you forgotten? He was the one who abandoned you first."

Beads of sweat began to appear on Emily's forehead as she became more entangled in the lissome limbs of this human boa constrictor. "No, it must have been you... Jacob would never abandon me and Beryl... I, I'm going to find him. Let me go!"

Her sudden outburst empowered her to begin struggling in his arms, and even Sean couldn't control her anymore.

"Let me go!" In a last-ditch effort, Emily pushed Sean away.

The next moment, she suddenly felt a stinging pain in her neck, followed by a cold sensation that had been fed into her veins. Within seconds, the cold liquid began to paralyze her nerves.

Emily almost dropped down to the floor at once.

However, Sean quickly held her into his arms as she was falling and a sad smile appeared in his face.

"Am I not good enough for you? Why do you still want him?"

Emily exerted her remaining strength to keep her eyes wide open. She opened her mouth to say something. "Because I, I... love..."

Before Emily could finish, Sean lowered his head and sealed her mouth with a kiss. He sucked her tongue, and swallowed all the words he didn't want to hear.

"It's okay. I will not hurt you.

I will tell you who you really are. You are not Emily. You never were and you never will be."

Puzzled, Emily tried to understand what he had meant by that. As her eyelids slowly gave up, a drop of tear escaped her eyes.
