âLetitia Sanders!â
the offered a soft chuckle. âI just wanted you to know, what youâve given to me was never what I
wanted. And, what I truly desire, you could never provide.â
Even if Elgin, out of love for her, agreed to let Preston go, Letitia wouldnât accept it.
What she wanted was to give her dad a legit freedom, an ironclad exoneration
Not to trade her dadâs âget out of jail free cardâ for Elginâs love for her
Elgin tugged at his tie, his Adamâs apple bobbing. He couldnât give it to her? What a jokel
He stood at the pinnacle of power, calling the shots, getting whatever he wanted, how could he possibly
not have what Letitia wanted!
Itâs just that he couldnât give it!
âPlay nice, Letitia,â Elgin said, âmake some demands I can agree to, itâs only gonna do you good. Donât
try to make unreasonable demands.
Letitia cast her eyes down. âI havenât eaten, I want some food.â
âHave someone go get another portionâ
âI want to be discharged, Letitia added, âI want to go back to work at the company
âSure. Once youâre back on your feet.â
She nodded silently, not saying another word. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the
bandage on Elginâs hand, and her lips curled into a sneer
âYour hand⦠itâd be great if it was broken.â Letitiaâs fingertips landed on his palm, âJust too bad the
knife was too small, not long enoughâ
âYouâve got one wicked mind, womanâ
âWho asked you to stop me from stabbing myself?â
Elgin caught her hand and pulled her into his embrace, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Letitia ended up sitting on his lap. Their breaths intertwined, faces close
âYour life is mine, I didnât let you die, so you canât die,â Elgin said. âIf I want you to live, even if it means
sacrificing myself, Iâll make sure
you survive.
What a domineering line
Letitia looked at the man before her, with his sharp brows and handsome looks. He was outstanding,
powerful, the dream guy for countless women.
If she liked him, sheâd probably be moved by that line. But how could she like him?
A man who tore her family apart, who threw her into a mental institution, who caused her to lose her
child⦠Whereâs the love in that?
Even if it existed, Letitia wouldnât admit it, and would keep that flutter of the heart under tight wraps!
He was the devil, and the devil had fallen for her. Was she supposed to fall for a devil too?
Letitia turned her head away, refusing to look at Elgin.
If she looked any longer, she feared sheâd fall!
âWhy wonât you look at me?â Elgin edged closer, his nose brushing her cheek. âLetitia, deep down
youâve got feelings for me too, right?â
She immediately denied it, âNo!â
âThen look me in the eyes.â
âLook at you?â Letitia defiantly said. âIâm afraid I might just⦠kill you!â
Elginâs lips curved into a smirk, âNo, when you had the knife at my heart, you couldnât push it further,
not even a bit.â
His lips slowly approached, âSo, Letitia, you do have me in your heart.â
âNo-Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were fiercely captured by his.
Eigen did it on purpose, he waited for Letitia to speak just to kiss hec
That way, he could easily pry open her lips and deepen the exploration.
And now with Letta sitting on his lap, her whole body was firmly in his control.
Gradually, Elginâs breathing grew heavier, and his hands started to wander.
âElgin you.. let go⦠mm. Letitia realized something was off and started to struggle.
His body temperature was rising, and sitting on his lap, she could feel the scorching heat!
She was only wearing a hospital gown, which he could easily undo with a flick of his fingers!
âYou make me lose control.â Elgin murmured against her lips. âJust how enchanting are you?â
Every time after kissing her, Elgin needed to take a cold shower to cool off the heat in his body
This time was no exception.
âDonât mess around, Letitiaâs hand pressed against his chest. This is no place for you to get frisky!â
This was a hospital room! And she had just had an abortion!
Thereâs plenty of time, Iâm not in a rush Elgin looked at her âThere will be plenty of opportunities in the
future.â
Letitia firmly replied, âThere wonât be a future, weâre getting a divorce.â
âAs long as I donât agree, youâll never be able to leave me.â
âElgin! You⦠youâre shameless!â
He tightened his grip around her waist, pulling her even closer into his embrace
He whispered in her ear. âNot only that, Letitia, but youâll also be willing under me.â
âImpossible
âThere will be a day
Elginâs fingertips suddenly landed on the wound on her neck, gently stroking back and forth.
It made Letitia itch, her skin breaking out in goosebumps.
The next second, Elginâs actions made her freeze.. His lips kissed the wound on her neck.
This forced Letitia to tilt her head back, acutely aware of his movements.
He even deliberately licked it.
Letitia shuddered all over, crying out for mercy, Elgin, stop it.
Her slender neck arched gracefully, like a painting
âOne day, Letitia, youâll belong to me, both your body and soulâ
Elgin lifted her onto the bed and headed to the bathroom.
He needed a cold shower, to cool down
Letitia sat on the bed, unconsciously touching the wound on her neck.
As if his warmth, his breath were still thereâ¦
After a while, Letitia snapped out of it, stunned
What was she doing? Was she actually savoring that kiss? She must be crazy!
Letitia quickly lay down, pulling the cover over herself, not daring to face anyone
Five minutes later, Elgin came out of the bathroom.
She didnât move, waiting for Elgin to leave. But the footsteps were heading her way!
Letitiaâs heart raced, whatâs going on⦠wasnât Elgin leaving?
Donât come over!
The rnore you fear something, the more itâs likely to happen.
âYouâre smothering yourself under the covers, isnât that uncomfortable?â Elginâs voice came through,
âHuh?â
Letitia didnât respond.
He waited a few seconds, then reached out to pull at her blanket
What are you doing?â Letitia quickly grabbed it, âItâs late, arenât you going back to Ivory Towers?â
Tm staying here tonightâ
Chapte: 139
Whatâ Letitia was caught off guard for a sec, totally spaced out and didnât keep a grip on the blanket.
And just like that, Elgin had already tossed it aside with a flick of his hand,
And then, shamelessly⦠he just plopped down into her bed.
âNo, Elgin!â Letitia blurted out, âWhat the heck are you doing?â
That sickbed was tiny, barely enough for one person..
The moment Elgin hopped in, Letitia was practically shoved to the edge.
He reached out, scooped her into his arms, and said. âJust like that, time to sleep.â
Letitia was totally at a loss for words
