Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1464:

The guards reached the entrance and released Lisa without ceremony. She crumpled to the ground with a heavy thud. A sharp pain radiated through her body, making her dizzy, her limbs weak. But the pain wasn’t what consumed her. It was the rage.

Jake stepped outside, looming over her. His silhouette, framed by the building’s lights, cast a long shadow over Lisa’s trembling figure. Lisa’s hair was a tangled mess, her face streaked with tears of frustration. And yet, she was still beautiful, a picture of pitiful distress. But any sympathy that might have existed was instantly erased the moment Jake looked into her eyes—poisonous, hateful, unrepentant. His gaze held no trace of mercy.
