Chapter 595 Cruel Omen (2/2)

Feeling relieved, Emily sighed and smiled. But her smile died just as soon as it had formed on her face, when Jacob threw her to the bed.

A scream dragged up her throat as Jacob pinned her down to the bed. Sh

”No! No! You can't! Those were our old pictures...” The enormity of her grief was apparent.

”So that's why they should be burnt! Anyway, I don't want to keep any pictures with a woman like you!”

Emily stopped struggling in his arms baffled by his words. ”Please! Stop please...” she begged him.

Every word Jacob said was like a knife stabbing into Emily's heart.

For the first time since she decided to help Jacob, Emily finally started to question her own resolve...

The toxic relationship between them could only bear fruits of despair and desolation. And Emily had grown tired of fighting a losing battle.

”Our pictures... They are all gone,” she said under the breath. Benumbed, Emily watched as the pictures turned to ashes right before her eyes. She didn't have any tears left to shed.

Jacob wanted to put out the fire sooner even though, the pictures were influencing his emotions. He changed his mind, in the last minute when he realized just how much they meant to Emily.

Perhaps it was out of malice, or may be something else, but

Jacob just wanted to destroy something dear to Emily piece by piece.

However, much to his surprise, after he had accomplished what he had set out to do, he was no happier than he was before.

”They are just some pictures, that's all. They are not worth crying over. Don't pretend to be pathetic in front of me!” Jacob sneered and smiled at her contemptuously.

Emily looked at the ashes and said, ”They weren't just any pictures...”

'They were the most precious memories of our past. They are the witnesses of our love. Now, they are all gone.' Emily was devoid of hope.

Emily felt as though this incident was a sign, forecasting the end of her and Jacob.
