Chapter 1028 A Strand Of Hair (1/2)

The night grew late. Many deep undercurrents of fighting for power were running through the night. They were quickly moving around.

Emily, who was caught up in the middle of it all, had no idea what was waiting for her. Holding a pillow in her arms, she slumped onto the couch. She curled up into a fetal position and wrapped her arms around her legs, while the TV kept playing random commercials in the background.

Emily's beautiful eyes were red and puffed up from crying. Her mouth had fallen to an almost scowl, and her eyes that bore the same glow as the sun conveyed none of its warmth or sparkle.

She had lost Jacob and the job she loved. Everything was moving forward except her.

She figured Jacob had found the divorce papers she'd left in the room, so he'd given the ownership of SL Jewelry to Michelle.

In her despair, she wondered how happy he was right now to be finally free of her. She was no longer going to be the person who would stop him from chasing his happiness and the love of his life. Now that Emily had given him his freedom, Jacob could finally be with Michelle.

Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind. If he had signed the divorce papers, then their divorce certificates would come out soon after.

Therefore, she would get to see him one last time before she picked up her certificate.

Emily's mind wandered, and countless thoughts went through her head. However, every single one of them was about one person—Jacob.

There was a time when she could cure all his suffering, but now she couldn't even spend a minute with him without him trying to bite her head off.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sudden knock on Emily's door broke the dead silence in the house. Emily's heart skipped a bit in anticipation. Her face lit up with a slight hint of hope as she ran to the door with her bare feet.

Emily prayed for it to be Jacob. She hoped that he regretted his decision of leaving her in the first place.

”Ja... Sam?”

She swallowed back the rest of his name when she found out that the person outside the door was not the one she had hoped to see. In an instant, her eyes lost their luster. The hope inside her heart turned out to be more painful than she had imagined.

Emily couldn't tell why Sam was at her doorstep. But the first thing that popped into her head was Jacob.
