Chapter 8:
Kallie’s eyes widened in disbelief. Twenty million. The amount was astronomical, more than she could ever hope to earn in her lifetime. Jake was using this to decline the idea of a divorce.
Noticing the hesitation in Kallie’s eyes, Jake gave a cold, mocking snort. He was just about to warn her never to bring up divorce again when he noticed her clenching her teeth, bracing herself to make a tough decision.
Resolutely, Kallie raised her hand to sign, questioning whether he would accept payment in installments, given the hefty sum of money.
Jake’s laugh was laced with scorn. “Installments? How long do you need? Do you really think you can scrape together twenty million from that shabby bookstore?”
He turned to leave, but Kallie hurriedly caught up with him, blocking his path. Her gesture was desperate and confused. She frantically signed, showing her willingness to step aside for Jake to marry Sarah, thinking it would be a move he would readily embrace.
Jake halted, his expression souring.
Intimidated by his glare, Kallie stepped back, her slight frame quivering.
“Twenty million, not a penny less. Once you have the money, then we can discuss divorce again.” Jake forcefully ripped the divorce papers to shreds. Moments later, he stormed out, slamming the front door behind him.
Kallie sank onto the sofa, her tears trickling down silently. Jake wasn’t like this before. Had she made a mistake? What if she hadn’t chosen Jake back then…
That night, Kallie found herself alone again in the echoing silence of the house. She was convinced Jake wouldn’t return, but to her surprise, her phone buzzed at one in the morning. It was an unknown number.
