Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Tears of Heartless

All of the activities Henry and Rosalia have been doing in front of the Andrew Restaurant are getting scanned by Jacob from afar. Their conversation holds a special attraction, as his mind is racing to know what the topic can be that they are so eager to share. Their intimacy has thrown a knife that keeps penetrating his heart nonstop. However, an evil grin has spread across his lips, as he is planning something crazy.

"My enemy's weakness, I should have known that earlier. I'm not going to leave you, Rosa, but spend some time with him because I'm planning something dirty now. Playing with both of you will surely give me much pleasure. I've warned you; now pay for it!"

Jacob has returned to Washington from Texas, but when he is passing by, he finds Rosalia in front of the restaurant. The unexpected appearance of her at the right time filled his heart and soul with joy. All he needed to see her face is to recharge himself, but it has been so difficult to see her. He loves her, but she hates him, and it's not a normal relationship that he will be able to see her just because his heart craves her presence. Luckily, she has been in front of him without his effort, but in a moment, his heart has been shattered into pieces after noticing her with Henry. Their care for each other has awakened the beast inside him.

Being tired, broken, exhausted, and angrier, Jacob returns home. After returning home, he finds his cousin John Andrew sitting on the couch cross-legged, putting on a serious expression on his face.

"Where were you?"

"Why?"

"This punk is never going to answer." He closes his eyes in disappointment. "I have gotten a call from Jim Kelvin. He has canceled all his deals with us."

The perfectly shaped eyebrows of Jacob get knitted after listening to Andrew.

"How he has dared! Call him now!"

"I've tried a lot to convince him, but he didn't listen and told me not to contact him."

How such a man as Jim can dare to cancel all the deals with Jacob, he can't gather up his thoughts.

"Such courage!" Not a single business partner of Jacob has dared to master this courage in his whole life.

"It's all your fault. You're being irresponsible, Jacob. I don't know what you're doing these days, but you should be consistent with your work; otherwise, everything will go out of hand."

Jacob becomes furious at his brother.

"Andrew, don't try to correct me! I don't do anything without reason!" He starts to shout at him, making him scoff.

"Do whatever you want." Andrew leaves Jacob alone for his room, as it's already known to him that bargaining with him will just piss him off—nothing more.

Jacob calls Jim Kelvin instantly.

"So you dared to mess with me, little fish?"

Jim's voice is agitated after listening to him.

"How dare you call me a little fish?"

"No matter how much you try to deny the fact, it's the truth that you are my little fish."

"Jacob, I'm warning you!"

"I'm asking you how you have dared to cancel the deals?"

"Who the hell are you to ask me that? It's my kingdom; I'll do whatever I want."

His baseless words have darkened Jacob's aura.

"Wanna die?"

Jim scoffs in disbelief after listening to his threat.

"Who'll kill me? You? A king without a throne! Listen, you're nothing to me! I'm not afraid of a child like you!"

Jim cuts the phone immediately, triggering Jacob at his utmost level.

"I'll kill you, Kelvin! You've just dared to insult me!" He breaks one of the vases by punching it, as he can't control his anger, which causes blood to drip from his hand.

Andrew runs to the living room after listening to the loud sound. His eyes widen upon finding that Jacob's hand is bleeding.

"JK! Why have you hurt yourself? Why are you behaving like a child? You are a grown man, so behave yourself." He brings the first-aid box and starts to treat his wound.

Jacob's anger is dripping from his eyes in the form of tears, which surprises his brother, Andrew. Tears are dripping down from his eyes which makes him perceive something severe is hurting Jacob because since his mother left the country, that's when he last saw tears in his eyes.

"I'm having a very bad time! I never felt that weak before! Every single being is trying to play with me!"

"What are you saying, JK? Tell me what happened."

Jacob's heart is aching so severely that he wants to pull it out of his ribcage. He can't take the pain anymore.

"I'm in love, but the girl doesn't feel the same way! She is hurting me! I don't know why I can't control my feelings for her! How much I try to hate her, but I can't do this!"

Andrew never saw him at this pathetic stage. Seeing him in this fragile situation, it's easily comprehensible what's going on in his mind. He is in love, but it's just giving him pain. The wound he is going through has come to be seen clearly in his eyes.

"JK, who's that girl? I should talk to her."

"No, let her live happily in those days because her bad luck is waving at her."

"Jacob, you love her; if you do anything bad to her, then you'll suffer more than her."

He turns his gaze at Andrew while letting out a sad chuckle.

"Let that happen, but she should suffer like me; she should feel how horribly love gives pain."

"Calm down, my brother."

"I don't know how I can do it, but let me punish that little Jim first! I'll punish everyone who is trying to betray me!"

His heart is heavy with the pangs of betrayals he has received today that are stinging his cousin Andrew as well. It's been a long time since he saw Jacob being as helpless as he is today, and he can't even do anything because it's difficult to get his permission on his own except that his willingness doesn't let him.

Taking a sigh, he holds Jacob's hand and looks at his dark, angry eyes.

"No matter what, I'll always support you, but for now, take a little rest."

Listening to him, he flashes him a smile full of agony while pointing to his heart.

"Not until this one lets me!"
