Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 21:

Tears cascaded down Kallie’s cheeks. She ached to defend herself, yet all she could muster were muffled, panicked noises.

Kallie’s hands shook as she grabbed her phone to type a message. “Would you believe me if I told you it wasn’t true?”

Jake’s gaze bore into Kallie, his eyes a turbulent sea of emotions. “Do you realize how much effort I put into that project? All those nights without sleep? We lost the bid, and the company’s down nearly a hundred million. And for what? You traded the confidential files for a mere million?”

Jake seized Kallie’s chin, forcing her gaze to meet his, his grip so tight that Kallie found it hard to breathe. “Haven’t I given you enough? Enough money for your needs and enough freedom? When did you decide to divorce me? Is this your revenge?”

Frantically, Kallie shook her head, her eyes wide with fear. She loved Jake so much. The thought of betraying him was unbearable. She hadn’t touched the money he provided. How could she possibly sell his documents just for personal gain? Yet, she had indeed walked into his study, never disturbing anything, but now she was unable to prove her innocence.

“She didn’t do it! Why won’t you believe her? She can’t breathe! Let her go!” Linsey struggled to pull Jake away, but he remained immovable.

Only when Kallie’s complexion shifted to an alarming shade of red did Jake let go.
