Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1010:

Kallie’s hotel room was cramped and reeked of neglect.

Kallie didn’t mind the room’s dingy appearance. She simply couldn’t fathom why the owner wouldn’t at least maintain basic cleanliness. The bed was covered in a layer of dust, and the sheets reeked of mildew. The sight made her stomach churn.

A wave of thirst washed over Kallie. She eyed the stained cup on the nightstand and quickly changed her mind. She decided to forgo the water altogether. She sat down at the small table, her gaze drifting toward the window.

Her mind raced, trying to piece together the fragments of her memory, to make sense of the events that had unfolded since she woke up in that strange hospital room. But every time she was close to grasping a memory, a sharp pain lanced through her head. The pain was excruciating, almost unbearable.

She felt lost, adrift in a sea of uncertainty. Who was she? Why was she in this unfamiliar place? Where did she belong? A wave of longing washed over her. She just wanted to go home. She was so tired.

Exhausted, Kallie slumped over the table, drifting off to sleep. Her sleep was shallow and restless. A noise at the door jolted her awake. She sat up, her heart pounding, staring at the door. She could hear the distinct click of a key turning in the lock. But she had the key card. Who else could be trying to enter her room? A chilling realization dawned on Kallie. It had to be the hotel owner. And he clearly had sinister intentions.

Her mind raced, adrenaline coursing through her veins. She grabbed a clothes hanger from the closet, her makeshift weapon, and cautiously backed toward the bathroom, her heart pounding in her chest. But Kallie was too late.

The door swung open, revealing not the hotel owner, but a stranger.

Kallie had never seen this man before in her life.

The man leered at Kallie, his eyes glinting with malice. It was clear he had something wicked in mind.

The man’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw Kallie was awake.

“You’re not unconscious?” he sputtered.

“You didn’t drink the water?”

The unspoken implication hung heavily in the air. Kallie knew instantly that her drink had been spiked.

Without hesitation, Kallie whipped the wire hanger toward his face, aiming for his eyes. Seizing the moment of confusion, she made a run for it.

The instant she was through the door, she sprinted down the hallway. But she’d grossly underestimated these people. The hallway was swarming with men, their faces obscured by shadows, their eyes gleaming with malice. They’d clearly been lying in wait, anticipating her escape.

The moment Kallie stepped out of the room, they descended upon her like a pack of wolves.

Kallie was caught completely off guard, trapped in a suffocating circle of assailants. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Rough hands seized her wrists and ankles, binding them tightly with their grip. A hand was slapped over her mouth, stifling her screams.
