Chapter 40:
Kallie felt compelled to intervene, knowing that as Jake’s wife, she should prevent the chaos unfolding before her very eyes. Yet, inexplicably, her feet refused to move.
Beyond Sarah, whispers about Jake’s indiscretions had circulated within their social circle. Kallie wondered whether those women had attempted to entice Jake in similar ways.
