Jacob Have I Loved Summary Novels & Stories

"Jacob has never been in love before. I'm his first love! Do you think he'll let me leave the country easily?" "What are you trying to say?" Lina asked. Gia approached her, her perfume triggering memories of when Lina considered her a good friend while Gia used Melvin's money to harm her. Lina clenched her fists and turned around, staring coldly at Gia. "I'm saying that..." Gia smirked, leaning closer to her ear. "You and Mr. Zuko Hamerton wouldn't want me to hurt Jacob, right?" "What are you talking about?" "Jacob is deeply in love with me. I can feel it." Gia flicked her hair. "If I were to break up with him, it would devastate him.

Sodom closed his eyes as he washed himself thoroughly from the lake that the white wolves had taken him to on the order of their alpha, who could not stand having a conversation with the stinking wolf. Sodom smiled as he wondered how good it felt, considering how long him and the rest of his pack members had been working for days at the dungeon and had not for once had a proper bath.

“So you decided to invade my life because you couldn’t stand seeing me happy?” Nonye flinched. “No, I came because I couldn’t breathe knowing I had destroyed the best thing I ever had. I came because I still love you, Chi.” The words landed like fire on dry grass. Chi wanted to laugh, to scream, to run. Instead, she sat frozen. The ache in her chest betrayed her, the echo of years when Nonye’s love had been her universe. “You don’t get to walk in here after years and throw ‘I still love you’ at me like it’s a gift,” Chi said. Her voice was low, steady. “Love is showing up. Love is staying. You didn’t stay.”

he kept mumbling while nodding, making me feel ashamed. “But I meant everything I’ve said, Kylie. I really do love you, and no matter how badly I wanted this to work out with the first woman I’ve ever looked at this way, I don’t want to force you on anything.” Jacob licks his bottom lip, forcing a smile. “Because that is not what love is.” “I love you by my choice, and I will continue to even without receiving it back.” I remained standing in my place, unable to say or react to anything.

“You know that Doctor Rogers and I were friends. He was concerned, and he gave me your results. And I am grateful that he did. We shouldn't continue something that is useless.” Air escaped me in a rush. “Useless? You call our love—” I stopped my words as the cruel realization hit me with the strength of the speeding truck. That love was never ours; it couldn't be. There was only MY love for him. “Was the child all you wanted from me?” I whispered. He huffed. “What else could you have given me? You have no name, no money, no talents to use... You could have only given me a child, and you failed even at that.”

“I know you are the magnificent Hulk, Jacob. But really, are you okay?” “What complaint can a man who had already lost everything have?” He sighed, pocketing his fists. “I am living, Serenity, I'm living.” “Why don't you find a new wife? Do you not have someone you like?” I pushed further. Jacob handed me the logbook. “Maybe like you, Serenity, I might also come to find love during this project.” He beamed. What?! “I’m not in love with anyone, Jacob.” I queried. “You look like you might fall into that pit anytime soon.”

My chest tightened painfully at the thought of him. I wrapped my arms around myself tightly and inhaled slowly. One day back. And already everything felt cracked open again. The back door creaked softly behind me. I wiped my face quickly, expecting Mom. Instead Jacob stepped outside quietly. Neither of us spoke for a moment. Then he leaned beside me against the porch railing. “She still loves you,” he said finally. “I know.” “She’s hurt.” “I know that too.” Jacob glanced at me carefully. “You gonna tell anyone what really happened?”

Because suddenly… Everything inside me became painfully clear. I stared at Jacob through blurred tears while my chest rose unevenly from crying too hard and finally understood the truth I kept avoiding this whole time. I was never in love with him. Not truly. I loved the way he loved me. The realization hit so violently it almost made me sick. God. Nobody had ever looked at me the way Jacob did before. Nobody had ever made me the center of their entire world so shamelessly before. Jacob loved me like breathing came naturally to him or should I say obsessed over me like breathing came naturally to him.
