Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 14:

As Ethan slammed on the brakes, Kallie was jolted forward before her seatbelt snapped her back into place. She gripped the handle tightly, her face drained of color.

“Sorry, Kallie, I… I wasn’t thinking…” Ethan blurted out as he finally noted how frightened Kallie looked.

Kallie just shook her head and leaned back, looking exhausted.

Suddenly, the door of the Bentley Mulsanne swung open, and Jake exited the vehicle. Shortly after, Sarah emerged, as pale as Kallie. She had neglected to fasten her seatbelt and had been tossed against the car window multiple times during the ride. Now, she was cradling her forehead, her appearance quite disheveled.

“Jake, let’s go home. Jake…” Sarah called out, trying to detain Jake as he strode toward the Mercedes.

Jake seemed to ignore Sarah entirely. He walked over to the passenger side of the Mercedes and tried to open the door, but found it locked. His frustration was visible as he pounded furiously on the window.

“Kallie, don’t be scared. I won’t let him hurt you,” Ethan reassured Kallie.

Kallie shook her head in response.

Unable to understand sign language, Ethan watched helplessly as Kallie typed out a message on her phone. “He is my husband.”

Those words seemed to sap Ethan’s resolve. He silently hit the unlock button. A moment later, a furious Jake yanked the door open and started to pull Kallie out of the car.
