Chapter 11 Teach You A Thing Or Two (2/2)

”No…”

”Will you listen to me next time?”

Emily hesitated and did not reply.

Jacob's lifted his hand again but only tapped Emily's butt. However, the moment Jacob touched her, she nodded repeatedly,”I will, I will.” 'What a shame, to force me to agree against my will, ' she thought.

Upon her compliance, Jacob finally let go of her, and then picked her up in his arms as if she was a little kitten. What he saw in front of him was an adorable lady sobbing with her beautiful eyes, as red as a bunny's after crying for so long. Glittering tears dampened her long and curly eyelashes. Such a charming lady…

Jacob pulled her down to sit on his lap. His eyes were like black holes reeling her in, and he asked,”Do you remember what you said just now?”

”Yes,” Still gripped by fear, she had no courage to disobey him.

Just as she was about to sit on his lap, she suddenly jumped up as if she had been hit with an electric shock. The burning sensation of pain had returned to her.

She wanted to cry again.

Jacob did not compel her. He just said in a gentle voice,”Don't cry.”

Emily felt utterly humiliated, even more so than before. 'You've beat me so hard and now you're asking me not to cry?'

Jacob, however, had not yet finished his words,”If you cry, I would feel like you are seducing me again.”

'This jerk!'

Emily thought to herself, but she held her breath and did not say anything this time, not even a single word.

Jacob found the look of nervousness on her somewhat even more attractive. 'May be I should tease her a bit more, ' he thought, and then released his firm grip on her. Emily took the chance, slipped away in an instant and folded herself at the corner of the bed.

Just then, she felt a sharp pain over the part where he had slapped her. She frowned.

'Definitely swollen, ' she thought, without even looking at it. 'How could Jacob do such things to me? He is just like… like a psychopath!'

Jacob did not know what Emily was thinking, but he did not stop her from running away from him. He just looked at her cloudy expression and wondered whether he had hurt her too much.

”Does it hurt?”

'Of course it does!'

Emily cried to herself, but she only nodded at him, pathetically.

”One always learns from pain,” Jacob said and calmed himself down. He stood up, straightened his suit and commanded,”I will do the same to you again if you disobey me next time.”

'Why? I am not your slave!'

Emily raised her head and looked at Jacob, but was soon overwhelmed by his piercing glare. Finally, she was defeated; she murmured like an innocent baby,”Okay.”

'It is just a lie. I have to get rid of him now. I won't really listen to him!' she told herself.

”Do you hate me?”

”No. Of course not.” Emily answered positively, against her will.

Satisfied, Jacob smiled from one ear to the other. He knew that Emily was lying to him about not hating him, but he was still pleased to hear her say otherwise.

He looked at his watch. It was getting late, and he had something important to deal with.

Jacob was the kind of man who would always close business on time and would never be held down by any woman.

”Have a good rest,” he said to Emily.

Emily was ecstatic to hear him say that. But, suddenly she remembered what Rose had said before she left, so she said to Jacob in a hurry,”Wait a minute, Mr. Jacob!”

Jacob stopped in his tracks. He turned back to see Emily jump off the bed in an awkward manner. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a slightly nefarious tone,”Well? Would you want me to stay?”
