A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob seemed to know something was going on and he walked quickly towards the bathroom with long strides.

He opened the door and saw a woman leaning over the bathtub. She was running hot water while testing the temperature with her slender bandaged hand. The air was steamed up and he could only see her attractive profile. Her long sleek hair was tied at the nape of her neck, but a single lock had escaped and dangled seductively over the warm water.

Perhaps it was due to the heat from the bathwater, he felt a little hot and uneasy. "What are you doing here?" he asked in a husky tone.

"Running water for you," Emily said gently.

"You seem to be quite adept at that. How many people have you ever run water for?" he asked. He could not help a flash of anger racing through his blood at the thought of her having done this intimate act for others.

She knew what he meant and she shook her head, saying softly, "No, I have only ever run water for you."

Reassured by her words, he calmed down somewhat. Swallowing down his boiling emotions, he instructed coldly, "You may go if you have finished."

'There is so much water in that bath. Doesn't she know that she should keep her injured hand away from water? Such a twerp!' he mentally screamed at her.

"Okay. If you need anything, please call me," she said gently as she headed to the door.

He burst into laughter and bantered callously, "So, what now? You want to be my only maid, hum?"

"No, I don't." She quickly denied, but added seriously in a measured tone, "I want to be your wife."

"Phew!" He felt the arrow of her words pierce his heart. Like a seed planted there it took root and quickly twined around his soul.

"You..." He stuttered as he didn't even know what to say to that. Finally he muttered unconvincingly, "It's impossible."

'It's definitely impossible!

Don't even dream it!

She will be the last one in this world that I would marry!' he thought absently.

Of course, he would one day know what it meant to go back on his words.
