Jacob placed his hand on his chest. He could feel the increased beating of his heart and the pain within it.

Emily began to distance herself from Jacob. His eyes desperately searched hers, but Emily pretended as if she couldn't see his love for her.

At the same time, she had her people check Jacob's real identity and search all the recent missing persons' files in D Country.
