Chapter 396:

Jake’s expression hardened. “Kallie, this isn’t the time for emotions. You need to make a choice. Someone orchestrated today’s chaos, and it won’t be the last time. You have two options. One, jump out the window. My team is ready to catch you and I’ll handle the rest. Two, tell those reporters we’re engaged. That should keep you out of such troubles from now on. The decision is yours. I won’t push you.”

Kallie gazed out the window, fully aware that Jake was telling the truth. “Why are you helping me?” she asked.

“Should I have a reason?” Jake responded seriously. “I help you because of my love for you, a deep and abiding love. I won’t plead with you to stay by my side, but I do hope to atone and earn your forgiveness.”

Kallie was taken aback. She hadn’t anticipated such a candid confession from Jake. It was uncharacteristic of him. In the past, such words would have delighted her. At this point, while she assumed she would feel nothing, her heart raced with emotion.

Edgar’s voice at the door grew more anxious, prompting Kallie to take a deep breath.
