Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 122

Elgin just barged right past her with quite the shove. Letitia stumbled back a couple of steps and ended

up falling down.

The door slammed shut with a bang, and Elgin was gone.

His way of loving her, was straight-up diabolical! Letitia’s heart kept sinking, her palm clutching tight

It was late Elgin walked in the night, an air of brooding menace about him.

Yep. Letitia had hit the nail on the head again

He didn’t know how to love, and he had never truly loved anyone

He thought he loved Shela, but now he realized that he had no feelings for Shela whatsoever

His feelings for Letitia, though, they snuck up on him, growing bit by bit over time

Elgin had tried to ease up, to smooth things over with her, but no dice.

He was trying to learn, trying to back off, but Letitia wasn’t having any of it

So… hed kick things off his way A devil’s romance!

Elgin adjusted his tie and a cruel, bloodthirsty smirk played on his lips.

When he was ready to really start things with Letitia, he’d stop at nothing to make her depend on him

and him alone!

The next day, the sun crept up slowly.

Elgin walked into the dining room and ordered, Go, bring Letitia here.”

“Yes, Mr. Pamirez

Letitia was still reeling from last night’s terror, couldn’t catch a wink of sleep after Elgin left

She wasn’t scared of Elgin’s hatred. His sudden love that scared the bejeezus out of her!

His love, that’s scarier than hate!

With her heart in her throat, Letitia entered the dining room, “You wanted to see me?”

Elgin was sipping his coffee all suave, “Take a seat.

“I, I was gonna grab breakfast at the cafe next to the office…

“I won’t say it twice”

The Elgin today, was like when they first met. Back to his icy, aloof, business mogul vibe! She knew this

distance all too well!

Letitia had no choice but to sit her butt down.

Breakfast was a feast, with vaned food, but her appetite was in her boots, eating like she was walking

on eggshells

“.. I’m full, she put down her fork

Elgin glanced over. Thats all you’re eating?”

“Um. I’m not big on breakfast

“Eat up, Elgin started piling food on her plate. “You can go when you’re done”

Letitia wanted to say no, but one look at his eyes and she silently picked up her fork again

It’s better not to challenge him, she’s not going to come out on top of that battle

“Don’t work late these days. Elgin added, “Focus on your health

Despite the concern lacing his words, they sent a chill running down Letitia’s spine.

“I, I’m recovenng okay,’ she replied, “I can work normally”

Elgin just gave a slight smirk, his expression an enigma.

The food in Letitia’s mouth got harder to swallow.

Something felt off. like something was about to go down.

Just then, the butler hurried over. “Mr. Ramirez, I don’t know what happened, Ms. Ward is here,

kneeling and crying at the gate, insisting on seeing you.”

“Useless, can’t even keep a wornan in check, and she ends up at Ivory Towers? Elgin’s face darkened.

The butler hung his head, replying, “TII deal with the bodyguard who screwed up.”

Chapter 122

Tell her to get lost, Elgin hissed. ‘I don’t want to see her now!”

Letitia’s grip on her fork tightened

Elgin, who used to be so smitten with Shela, now could be this heartless!

Finally, after finishing the food he piled on her plate, Letitia thought she had a chance to scoot when

Elgin spoke again “Ride with me.

1.

“Try saying no

Letitia had no choice but to get in his car.

As the car left Ivory Towers, Letitia caught a glimpse of Shela

She was pinned to the ground by two bodyguards, her mouth sealed with duct tape, her eyes

desperate, watching the direction of the

car

Looks like she never left, trying every trick in the book to see Elgin.

And Elgin? He’s buried in paperwork, oblivious to the drama outside. He sat there, detached and

majestic.

Suddenly, the driver floored it, and Letitia lurched forward uncontrollably.

A hand reached out, cushioning her forehead to prevent a collision with the seatback

“What’s going on? Elgin sounded peeved

“Mr. Ramirez, someone’s blocking the way, we’d hit them if we didn’t stop.”

There was Mark, arms spread wide, practically hugging the car’s hood.

Talk about a death wish!

But then again, he and Shela were dreaming of riding Elgin’s coattails to the top. Now that their plan’s

blown, they’d do anything to salvage the situation what’s a little car bump to them?

And the driver wouldn’t dare hit them

“Mr. Ramirez, give Shela a chance to explain… Mark was on his knees in front of the car, “It’s all my

fault, I put her up to it, don’t blame

hert

“Mr. Ramirez!” Shela struggled free and ran over, kneeling down next to Mark.

Elgin massaged his brow, then stepped out of the car with a long stride.

“Mr. Ramirez!” Mark called out, “I told Shela, it was my vanity that put her in this, I’ve dragged her

down. From now on, I’ll cut ties with her, and let her stay good by your side!”

Elgin snorted. A whole night’s brainstorming, and this was their plan.

Pin it all on Mark, sacrifice him to save Shela

Elgin was stone-faced, “Keep her by my side… to keep scheming against me?”

“No, I wouldn’t, Shela blurted out, “I promise I won’t do a thing! Mr. Ramirez. I’m all yours, my

innocence is yours, without you, I’m truly

on a dead-end street..”

Here she goes, playing the sympathy card again

She knew the weight in Elgin’s heart about that night was significant

But Letitia got out of the car.

“Making yourself out to be so pitiful, huh Letitia walked up to Shela, “You had everything, just had to

wait it out, and Elgin would’ve banded it all to you on a silver platter. Too bad your greed got the better

of you and you blew it all.”

‘Letitia, shut up! This is all your fault!”

Shela still couldn’t figure out how on earth Letitia found out about her fake pregnancy.

Where did she get her intel?

“My fault? Honey, I haven’t even started on how you’ve screwed me over,” Letitia shot back. “You’ve

made your bed, now lie in it!”

Shola glared at her with venom. “You just wait!”

Il be waiting.” Letitia cracked a smile. “We’re just getting warmed up.”
