Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife
Chapter 121

Chapter 121

Jealousy completely hijacked Elgin’s reason. He was green with envy over her young romance withWalden, envious of their engagement and becoming an item, but what ate him up the most was thateven though Walden had left her life, she was still all about Walden in her heart!

Letitia was gobsmacked for a hot second, “Really, I. I did dream about him.”

“Do you miss him?”

“No..” Before she could finish, Elgin’s hand was already choking her neck.

He really did it, as if the gentle Elgin who watched her sleep never existed!

“Letitia, do you have any clue how low you’ve stopped? Do you think Walden would ever pick thingsback up with you? He’s a young master of the Sullivan family, and you? What are you?”

Elgin spelled it out. “You’re damaged goods!”

Her face turned ghostly pale, “Elgin, what gives you the right to sling mud at me like that?”

“Am I wrong? You say the kid isn’t Walden’s, fine, I’ll buy that. But you can’t even say who the father is!A woman who hops into bed with anyone and gets knocked up, what kind of tramp do you think youare?”

Damaged goods Tramp That’s how he labeled her.

After hearing this, Letitia let out a desolate chuckle, “Right, I’m such a dirty woman, totally unworthy ofbeing by your side. Elgin, let’s call it quits right now!”

As soon as the words “call it quits” came out, they struck a raw nerve in Elgin.

“You think you’re even in a position to say that?” Elgin’s grip tightened, forcing her to look up at him,“Letitia, I’m the one who says we’re done. You just wait for my say-so!”

“Can’t handle getting dumped by me, can you?

“Letitial Elgin’s roar almost blew the roof off.

“I hit the nail on the head, and that’s why you’re pissed” Letitia looked at him. “It’s always womenthrowing themselves at you… but I’m the exception. You don’t get that sense of achievement with me,just a constant feeling of frustration, right?”

She had him pegged Women who were into Elgin were a dime a dozen. Heiresses, socialites, celebswhich one of them wouldn’t want to marry into the Ramirez family and score a social leap? Only Letitiacouldn’t care less!

He married her, but she felt the Mrs. Ramirez title was anything but a comfy seal.

Clearly, she was the underdog, an ant in Elgin’s hand, easily crushed, yet she refused to bend theknee.

This seriously fired up Elgin’s conquering instinct! He wanted to see Letitia smitten with him, unable tolive without him!

But she was just numb to him, her heart set only on the baby in her belly!

Even though she hit the bullseye, Elgin would never admit it!

“Heh, Letitia, don’t flatter yourself too much Elgin scoffed, “Don’t forget, you’re the daughter of the manwho killed my father. I feel nothing for you but hatred, and the urge to torment!”

Letitia was gasping for air, her hands grasping Elgin’s wrist, “So are we calling it quits or not?”

“Don’t you dare say those words again!”

“Elgin… can’t you bear to let me go?”

As the words fell, Elgin’s grip on her throat tightened even more.

Letitia couldn’t make a sound

Elgin’s eyes were bloodshot. He hated her, and also loved her. But how could he love her like this?!

A tear involuntarily rolled down Letitia’s cheek. She didn’t beg for mercy or struggle, she just quietlylooked at Elgin with a calm, unwavering gaze.

As if dying at his hand would be just fine.

Eigin’s hand started to tremble, Letitia, I gave you chance after chance, and you didn’t cherish them.Fine, very well, then don’t blame me for being ruthless with you from now on!”

He violently pulled back his hand.

Letitia coughed twice, catching her breath, “How much more ruthless can you get? Elgin, it’s you whodestroyed my life, ruined everything I had””

“it was your father who killed mine first!

“My dad he. Letitia wanted to arque, but fearing she might hit a sore spot with Elgin, she swallowed herwords, “Even if that’s true, what did i do wrong? I didn’t kill your father!”

You have to atone for him!”

Lenga bit her lip hard. One day, she’d replace the proof, vindicate her father’s innocence, and show thateverything Elgin was doing now

was wrong.

He was the one who owed her, the one who should seek her forgiveness

She was waiting for that day to come!

“Still defiant, huh?” Elgin asked. “You still think your father was innocent?”

Letitia turned her face away and changed the topic. “It’s late.” She was urging him to leave

Elgin looked at her coldly. “Whether it’s Walden or Neil, don’t even dream about it! Your life is in myhands!”

“Have you fallen for me, Elgin?” she asked, her lips curling into a light smirk. You’re dragging your feeton the divorce, insisting i stick by your side. Have you fallen for your enemy’s daughter?”

Letitia’s slender fingers poked at his chest

Elain’s brows were furrowed tightly

“What.” Letitia’s smile grew brighter, you don’t dare admit it?”

Elgin suddenly smiled too, his lips curving up. He leaned in slowly, their lips nearly touching

“Yes, Letitia Elgin said, “I love you, why wouldn’t I admit it?”

Now it was Letitia’s turn to be stunned. Just a moment ago, she thought she had the upper hand, thatshe had Elgin’s feelings all figured

out

But he he just admitted it? Letitia didn’t know what to say

She forgot that the man in front of her was Elgin. He was extremely intelligent, not so familiar with theemotional stuff, true, but that didn’t mean he could be played. He was too clever, always ready to strikeback!

“Letitia, you’ll see soon enough just how I’m going to properly love you!”

He emphasized the words heavily

Letitia caught the hint of danger.

“Elgin she couldn’t help but ask, “What are you planning to do?”

“You’ll replace out soon enough”

She immediately reached out to grab him, but he dodged her.

“No, Elgin, a sense of crisis had Letitia in its grip, her gut telling her Elgin was about to do somethingabsolutely bonkers, “I just… I didn’t say anything, pretend I was talking in my sleep!”

She shouldn’t have pushed his buttons like that.

She knew too well that Elgin was a selfish, heartless brute!

Elgin just gave her a look and, without a moment’s hesitation, spun on his heel and headed for thedoor.

“Elgin!” Letitia called out to him, hopping out of bed trying to stop him, “You’ve never had a clue aboutlove, you’ve never truly loved anyone. How can you ever love me! Not hurting me would be thegreatest love of all!”
