A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily's eyebrows furrowed into a frown. She looked at the glass of water in her hand and wondered. Sean was clearly so much obsessed with her, but how come he just let her go with Jacob so easily without even a fight or any effort? Clearly, that wasn't Sean's style.

Maybe, it was because Emily threatened him with her life. Then again, she knew that Sean was not the one to easily compromise.

There must be information that he wished to hide, because otherwise, he had some ulterior plan steaming in his mind.

Emily looked around the room for any source of communication. Her cellphone had long since been gone, and so she rushed towards the telephone that caught her eye.

She dialed the phone number, and after the first ring, the call was picked up.

"Emily?" Sean said on the other end of the line. He sounded like he was waiting for her to call, and every time his phone rings, he picked it up and assumed whoever called was Emily.

Emily rolled her eyes at this thought. She pressed her lips tightly and asked, "What the hell did you do to Jacob? Why are things going in a different direction?"

With a smile, Sean denied and played innocent, "What do you want me to do to him? I just helped him regain his memory like you wanted. That's all. Speaking of whom, how is he now?"

Emily heaved a deep breath as she tried to control her anger and said, "Don't play dumb on me, Sean! Jacob is like a stranger. He doesn't recognize me! His attitude was way different from before. Can you swear with your life that you have nothing to do with this?"

Sean shrugged and casually said, "I'm afraid I can't." With a tone of gloat, he asked, "Still, if it was me, what would you do?"

Sean thought about this and smiled as he recalled what he had done.

He used all his means to make Jacob forget all his memories of Emily and everything related to her, and Beryl's returning to her father just made the process of Jacob regaining his memories due to doubts and mists in his mind sped up a little faster.

Sean knew Jacob was smart. Sooner or later Jacob would notice something was wrong and he would probably find himself a doctor. As the plan coursed through action, Sean had already created a fake memory to make Jacob feel and think that Emily wasn't his treasure but the woman he hated the most instead.

'How does it feel like, Jacob, to have the woman you love the most became the woman you hate the most?' Sean wondered, imaging a fake conversation with Jacob on his head.

That was Sean's revenge on Jacob, because he had hurt Emily and for all the days he spent with Emily. He was very unwilling and against on the two of them being together.

Clearly, Sean let Emily go with Jacob without a fight. He had been genuinely hurt by Emily's rejection and unwillingness to accept him and reciprocate his feelings that he wanted to make Emily experience the feeling of rejection and being abandoned by the person she loved as well.
