Chapter 1023 Paralyzing The Heart (1/2)

The words were written clearly on the paper...

Jacob easily recognized Emily's handwriting and the last word written on the back.

”Goodbye!”

'That's not possible!'

This letter was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back for Jacob. He couldn't believe what he had just read as he threw the letter to the ground. He grabbed his phone and scrambled to look for Emily's number.

His fingers trembled as he tapped on call and stuck his phone to his ear. For the first time in his entire life, this man finally tasted the true taste of fear and anxiety.

'Pick up the phone, pick up the phone!'

”Sorry, the number you have dialed is not...”

Jacob called again.

”Sorry, the number you have dialed...”

He tried a third time.

”Sorry...”

Bang!

In a fit of rage, Jacob threw his phone at the wall, shattering the screen on impact. It seemed as though his life had been sucked out of him and his vision was turning dark.

He had lost her... She was gone... Forever...

”This can't be happening! Emily!”

Jacob's words were muffled by his fingers as he covered his face in utter despair.

He was the only person who knew Emily well enough to know that this time, she was really gone.
