Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 6:

Tears welled up in Kallie’s eyes, yet she steeled herself against the urge to let them fall. She raised her hand, attempting to reach out to Jake, but he had already turned his back on her and walked away, his tall figure exuding an air of icy determination.

“Why is she even at this hotel? Either she’s here to stir up trouble, or she’s meeting someone else. Gee!” Sarah murmured, her voice barely audible. Jake slowed his pace, momentarily caught off guard by her words.

Yet, rather than stopping, Jake abruptly pulled his hand away from Sarah’s grasp. “Stop spouting nonsense!” he snapped.

As Jake settled into his car, a distant rumble of thunder echoed, soon followed by a downpour. Sarah, just a few steps behind him, was immediately soaked as she left the shelter of the hotel. Her hair, once meticulously styled, now clung to her head as she sprinted toward Jake’s car, her hand reaching for the door handle.

To Sarah’s surprise, it was locked. “Jake, open the door…” she pleaded, knocking on the window.
