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 mmed 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 waste 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 Sh, but now he realized that he had no feelings for Sh 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 yed 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 fromst 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 nced over. Thats all you’re eating?”
“Um. I’m not big on breakfast
“Eat up, Elgin started piling food on her te. “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 toe out on top of that battle
“Don’t workte these days. Elgin added, “Focus on your health
Despite the concerncing 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.”
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 Sh, now could be this heartless!
Finally, after finishing the food he piled on her te, 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 Sh
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 uncontrobly.
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.
Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Talk about a death wish!
But then again, he and Sh were dreaming of riding Elgin’s coattails to the top. Now that their n’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 Sh a chance to exin… Mark was on his knees in front of the car, “It’s all my
fault, I put her up to it, don’t me
hert
“Mr. Ramirez!” Sh 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 Sh, 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 n.
Pin it all on Mark, sacrifice him to save Sh
Elgin was stone-faced, “Keep her by my side… to keep scheming against me?”
“No, I wouldn’t, Sh 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, ying 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 Sh, “You had everything, just had to
wait it out, and Elgin would’ve banded it all to you on a silver tter. Too bad your greed got the better
of you and you blew it all.”
‘Letitia, shut up! This is all your fault!”
Sh 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!”
Sh red at her with venom. “You just wait!”
Il be waiting.” Letitia cracked a smile. “We’re just getting warmed up.”
the cast a casual nce at Sh’s ring finger Hmm, the ring was still there.
