Chapter 259 The Real Insult (2/2)

The pain dragged a cry of pain up her throat. She frowned, but the man in front of her remained unmoved. Instead, he burned her with his glare and said, ”This face, makes me wonder how many men have fallen for your beauty. Even I, myself...”

r her skin. Patterns of black and blue appearing over her thighs and her ribs. Her battered, tear soaked face looked rather pitiable.

The sight of her sunk his heart to the darkest depths of hell. A bloody portrait of his making. When he tortured her, he was also torturing himself.

”... Why did you cheat on me?” Jacob reached out his hand and gently stroked her face, wiping away the tears on her face. His heart felt heavy, like boulders.

Although he could not accept her betrayal, he could never let her leave him! This woman belonged to him. Whoever dared touch her would sign their own death contract!

Jacob took a deep breath and his coal black eyes, glimmered with the intent to kill. Showing mercy to Jack had been the biggest mistake of his life, and now it was time to get even with him!

Jacob shifted his gaze down at Emily again and tenderly held her in his arms. Clouds of pain lingered in his eyes, unwilling to disperse.

A few minutes later, he realized something strange about the woman in his arms. Her body felt cold. The kind of cold that would worry any sensible human being.

Jacob sat up to check, and accidentally found dried blood on the bed, patterned like blossoming flowers, extremely enchanting.

His skin prickled with fear, and his chest ached with the pounding of his heart. ”Emily? Emily? What is wrong... Wake up!” he urged.

Emily's breathing was barely perceptible. She looked lifeless.

Jacob's face changed and he dialed the interior phone. ”Bring me the best doctor immediately! In ten minutes! Hurry!”
