Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 991:

Sophie was baffled by Clayton’s actions. Was he simply trying to eliminate any obstacles to his relationship with Kallie? Or was there something more sinister at play? Maybe Clayton had something to hide?

Sophie remembered the odd look on Clayton’s face when she mentioned that she and Kallie were here on vacation, especially when he saw Brysen with them.

It was clear to Sophie that Clayton was hiding something. Perhaps he thought their arrival meant they had stumbled upon his secrets, forcing him to take drastic measures. But what about Kallie? What would Clayton do to her? He might not harm her physically, but he would certainly find a way to make her forget about her trip.

Sophie’s anxiety grew with each passing thought. She needed to stay calm and safe, at least until Jake found her.

To be honest, Sophie wasn’t sure if Jake would actually come. But a voice deep down told her to have faith in Jake. Jake was her father, after all.

When Sophie was certain that no one was coming, she carefully crept out from under the bed and slipped into the bathroom. Maybe they wouldn’t think to look for her there. Sometimes, the best hiding spot was the one that seemed most obvious.

Sophie huddled in a corner of the bathroom, her heart pounding in her chest. She was just a teenager, caught in a terrifying situation. Her body trembled, and tears streamed down her face. Time seemed to blur as Sophie waited in the darkness. She drifted off to sleep, only to be jolted awake by a loud crash. The door burst open, and angry voices filled the room.

“Where the hell is that kid hiding? We’ve torn this whole hotel apart, but she’s nowhere to be found. She has to be in this room somewhere.”noveldrama

“Mr. Morgan warned us that she’s a clever one. Search every nook and cranny! If we don’t find her, we’re all screwed!”

Sophie’s face went white when she heard this. She looked up and noticed it was dark outside. She had been asleep for hours. But after waking up, Sophie felt more energetic, without the previous dizziness. She quickly grabbed her phone. The signal was strong, and the battery was full, but there was no message or call from Jake.

Sophie was baffled. It had been nearly four hours. Where was Jake? Burmoos wasn’t far from Halsland. If Jake took a private jet, it would only take about an hour to get here. Plus, she had given him the address. Did Jake not want to save her?

Suddenly, Sophie regretted not calling the police. At that time, she hadn’t been thinking straight and had instinctively trusted Jake would come to her rescue.

Pushing down her feelings of disappointment and sadness, Sophie quickly looked around the room. If she couldn’t find a way to escape, she was doomed.

Luckily, there was a way out. Sophie noticed a small window high up on the wall. It was small, but she could squeeze through. Sophie quickly got up and started climbing, using her hands and feet to pull herself up. She had taken dance classes and martial arts lessons, making her agile and flexible enough to move silently.

Like a cat, Sophie crawled out of the window and into the darkness.
