Chapter 137


    “Here’s what I think you should do, man-cut ties with Sh for good, Samson started dishing out


    advice. “What women need is security, a rock-solid choice, favoritism. If you wanna have a future with


    Letitia, you gotta break it off clean with Sh.”


    Elgin stayed silent.


    “Don’t tell me… your like them both? Do you wanna keep both irons in the fire? No way, Gin. Given


    Sh’s looks, character, and personality.. you’d have to be blind to fall for her.”


    “Got it,” Elgin finally spoke up. “You can go now.”


    Samson gritted his teeth Elgin just used him and then showed him the door! What a ruthless man!


    “Aren’t you leaving? Elgin asked. “Wanna stick around for a meeting, or do you have clients to see or a


    trip to take?”


    Samson vanished in the blink of an eye.


    Elgin stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and lit a cigarette, taking his time with it.


    It wasn’t until ten at night that Elgin left the office


    “Mr. Ramirez, your hand needs a new dressing.


    “Get the car ready, head to Breezy Bay Condos, he instructed. “Have the doce to the car for the


    dressing change”


    Elgin rested with his eyes closed the whole ride.


    The doc quietly did his thing, changing the bandage.


    The car ride was enveloped in a heavy silence.


    Back at the apartment

    Sh sat at her vanity, eyes glued to the pricey wedding ring, greed written all over her face.


    How could she bear to leave Elgin… Power, status, money, the envious stares from the women of


    AquaCity, it’s all she ever wanted


    She was determined to make aeback. No way Letitia could take her down!


    “Ding-dong The doorbell rang.


    Thinking it was Mark, Sh put down the ring and scurried to the door.


    But when she saw it was Elgin, her surprise turned to delight, “Mr. Ramirez! Oh… what happened to


    your hand?”


    Elgin silently walked into the living room, tugged at his tie, and lit another cigarette.


    Sh noticed his pallor and sour mood, so she kept her mouth shut.


    “Are you getting used to living here?” Elgin asked. ‘You like the ce?”


    “Uh-huh, I like everything you give me!”


    “This ce is yours now, I’ll transfer it to your name.”


    Sh nodded vigorously, “How generous! Thank you, Mr. Ramirez!”


    She was over the moon. The apartment was worth millions, a symbol of wealth and status!


    Mr. Ramirez sure was generous!


    Sh thought Elgin was starting to make it up to her. After all, she’d been given the cold shoulder for


    days and Letitia had given her a rough time.


    “Mr. Ramirez, I messed up before, I shouldn’t have gotten greedy.’ Sh said, clinging to his arm. I


    apologize. From now on, I’ll be totally devoted to you.”


    She even leaned in, rubbing her body against his arm on purpose


    Elgin pushed her away. “Don’t bother.”


    Sh was stunned, “Huh?”


    what else you want, Elgin flicked ash from his cigarette, “Il fulfill all your material needs.”


    Material neerts? What about emotional ones? Status? Identity?


    Sh finally sensed something was off, “Mr. Ramirez, what are you getting at?”


    ht, you suffered. You should bepensated. Let’s settle this once and for all today


    Elgin was here for the breakup. Samson was right-if he had no feelings for Sh, only gratitude, then


    he needed to cut ties as quickly all possible.


    Love is love Gratitude is gratitude. For things tost with Letitia, Sh had to go.


    Sh couldn’t believe her ears, “Mr. Ramirez, you’re kicking me out?”


    “You’ll get what you want, just name it. I agree to all your demands.”


    Money, assets, they were all trivial to Elgin. Sh wanted them, he’d give them.


    She deserved it Without her that night, Phedra would have seeded.


    “No, no, I don’t want anything. I just want you,” Sh shook her head frantically, “Mr. Ramirez, I don’t


    want the house or the money, just let me stay by your side… I can’t lose you!”


    Sh couldn’t grasp why things had turned this way. After the fake miscarriage came to light, she knew


    Elgin was mad, so she’d been apologizing ever since.


    Now, with Lelitia’s baby gone too, she thought she was in the clear, but….


    Elgin was actually dumping her!


    “Why, Mr. Ramirez, Sh asked in desperation, “I’ve admitted my mistake, reflected on it, and I won’t


    trouble Letitia anymore, why can’t you forgive me… I’ve always loved you!”


    Elgin’s expression remained cold, “I don’t like wasting too much time on one thing.


    He nced at his watch


    The quicker, the better. Because he still had to visit Letitia at the hospital.


    To Sh, these actions screamed urgency and crisis.


    “Mr. Ramirez, just because of my fake miscarriage, you’re punishing me like this… Sh’s tears came


    on cue, “What about Letitia? She was carrying a bastard, don’t you mind?!”


    The child’s been aborted”


    “But the fact remains, she was neither pure nor clean!”


    Elgin replied, “Her child was conceived before she married me.”


    He paused, then seemed to remember something, “Letitia’s been in a mental institution all this time,


    she had never left there. How could she have gotten involved with a man, let alone get pregnant? Was


    there someone in the institution who forced her?”


    “She’s a slut! She went around seducing men, that’s how she got knocked up with a bastard!”


    Elgins gaze darkened, “Letitia’s not that kind of woman.


    Even though he’d used those words to hurt Letitia before, it was all in anger.


    If Letitia were that kind of woman, she’d have been throwing herself at him long ago, not resisting and


    scared every time he kissed her


    or wanted her.


    Sh clenched her palms.


    “Mr. Ramirez,” she asked, “have you… have you fallen for Letitia?”


    “Yes.” Elgin didn’t hesitate with his answer.


    “You’re in love with her?” Sh was gobsmacked. “You’ve actually fallen for Letitia?”


    “Yup.”


    Sh couldn’t believe her ears. She had finally managed to get rid of Letitia’s kid, only to wind up


    making Elgin feel sorry for and fall in


    love with Letitia!


    Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!


    “Mr. Ramirez, che’s carrying a bastard! Sh reminded him, “She’s dirty, she’s Dr. Sanders’s daughter,


    you and her are like sworn enemies, how… how can you possibly love her!”


    “I don’t need angle?


    you to meddle in my business with her, Elgin stubbed out his cigarette with his fingertips. “Now spit it


    out. What’s your


    He was visibly impatient Hanging around Sh was eating into his time, and that just meant it would


    take him that much longer to see
