Chapter 157:

Kallie took a deep breath, feeling as though she had no other option but to agree with Jake.

Fighting back tears, she nodded her agreement, her only condition being that he let go of Brent.

Jake’s sneer morphed into a grin as he swung the car door open. “Alright. Get in, we’re going somewhere,” he declared.

Once Kallie was inside the car, her phone buzzed with a message from Brent.

Brent was checking in, asking if she was okay, whether Jake had done anything drastic, and if there was a need to involve the police.

Just as Kallie was about to respond, Jake’s chilling voice interrupted from beside her. “If you dare reply to him, I’ll change my mind immediately.”

Resigned, Kallie clenched her jaw and stowed her phone away, prompting a smug smile from Jake.

Jake drove Kallie to a bar, one that radiated opulence.

The staff greeted Jake with profound reverence, clearly indicating his VIP status there.

Kallie took it all in, wondering if Jake frequented this place, possibly even with Sarah.

As the thought crossed Kallie’s mind, a sudden wave of nausea overcame her, a harsh reminder of her pregnancy.

She halted, covering her mouth to conceal her discomfort.

Jake’s observant eyes caught on.
