Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1149:

Jake, the master manipulator who had always prided himself on his ability to read and control others, was now at the mercy of Kallie, someone he failed to decipher. For the first time, he felt powerless, and the realization cut him deeply. She had unraveled him in ways he hadn’t thought possible.

When Kallie first schemed against him, he had resisted the truth of his lingering feelings toward her despite everything and maintained a shred of his rationality.

But now, all pretense had crumbled. Jake no longer denied it—he still loved Kallie.

Instead of retreating, Jake found himself spiraling deeper. He had given up the fight against his own obsession. He didn’t care that Kallie was reckless, malicious, and even cruel. He didn’t care that she had tried to kill him. He only cared that she was his.

His resolve hardened. He would recover. He would reclaim everything he had lost. And when he did, Kallie would be his once more—not fleetingly, but entirely. She wouldn’t leave again, not for anyone or anything. Love and hate might war between them, but she would remain by his side, bound to him forever.
