A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 237

Emily woke up, feeling dizzy and groggy. She lay on the bed, in a daze for a while, before she steadied her breathing, trying to clear her mind.

She could not help looking around and wondering where she was.

"Emily, you are awake!" A soft, familiar voice came from her right side, startling her. Suddenly, she became aware, as her heart rose and fell inside her chest.

Emily fought the disorientation and sat up quickly, and the soft quilt that was covering her slid down from her shoulder. Before she knew it, she was surprised to find herself completely nude.

'What the hell happened to me?' she wondered.

Emily's hands scrambled frantically to cover her body with the quilt. Then she looked to the side to see Jack, who was standing near the bed.

Jack was buttoning his shirt, slowly and methodically, as he stood in a relaxed upright posture. He cast a meaningful look at Emily, with all his masculine charms.

Emily, however, did not find any of it attractive. Instead, at that moment, she felt a wave of unprecedented panic.

"What happened?" she asked in a trembling voice.

Jack noticed the apparent panic in her eyes. His heart ached simply because she was repulsed by him.

He buttoned the last button, bent over to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground, and then he walked towards Emily. "Just now... Have you forgotten what happened just now?" he asked.

"Just now?" Emily tried to recall what had happened before she lost her consciousness. The only thing she could remember was drinking coffee at the café, but everything that followed right after that was just a blur. Anxious, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "You used hallucinogenic agents at me and took me to this place, right? Jack, what the hell is going on? What do you want from me?" she shouted at him.

Jack handed Emily's clothes to her, which took her by fear and surprise, as she moved backwards, remaining on high alert. The light in Jack's eyes dimmed with sorrow. Without any explanation. he just burst out laughing. "What do I want from you? I have gotten what I wanted from you," he said, with a brazen-faced expression.

"It can't be true! I don't believe it…" Emily muttered and refused to believe his words.

Jack sat beside her, then he reached out to pinch her delicate chin, forcing her to face him. "Nothing is impossible. Do you think I wouldn't be aroused by a woman lying naked in my bed?

Especially, if that woman was the love of my life," he said.

Feeling repulsed, Emily shoved his hand away, as she bit her lips hard and then said, "You are a shameless pig."

"If I was not shameless, would I be able to have you here?" he asked. Suddenly, as the agitation within him grew, he continued, "As a matter of fact, Jacob is more shameless than I am. Otherwise, he would not have stolen your heart from me on purpose."

"Jacob is nothing like you!" Emily immediately defended Jacob.

"Are you sure?" he asked. Jack raised his voice, expressing great jealousy, but he immediately controlled his emotions, as he lowered his voice and said, "Emily, I love you. I can give you everything that Jacob has given you, and I can do all the things he has done for you..."

Jack pleaded guilty of his past sins. However, as the old saying went— a fault confessed is half redressed. Why was she reluctant to give him a chance to correct his mistakes?

It was not fair to him at all.

"At least, he has never forced himself on me, but you did. Tell me, what the hell have you done to me?" Emily asked in an icy cold tone.

"I have done all I have ever wanted to do," Jack said, with an expressionless face, as he spaced the words for emphasis. "I do not regret it at all," he said.

"Get out! Get out of here! Get out!" Emily yelled, as she could no longer restrain her anger. She picked up the pillow and threw it at Jack.

Jack caught it with his hand and sniggered. Her hatred and impolite behavior did not anger him. He just put down her clothes on the bedside table and said in a soft voice, "Calm yourself down. I'll come back to you later."

After saying that, he turned to open the door and went out, following her wishes.

When Jack left the room, Emily sat back in horror, feeling utterly deflated, like a balloon, which was punctured by someone with a pin.

Muddled as her thoughts were, she could not tell whether what he had said was true or not. However, just the mere thought of his claims, swam up in her thoughts and a breath of despair escaped her lips.
