Chapter 24
On the villa steps, Letitia couldnât help but snort with laughter when she heard that.
Shela giving a heartfelt apology? There was no way she was sincerel
Besides, Elgin wouldnât let Shela do such a thing. Shela was the woman he loved, so he would never make her do such
thing!
Sure enough, Elgin asked coolly âYou really see what you did wrong?â
âUh, I shouldnât have stormed into the office and grabbed someone, that was wrong. Shela responded, âI⦠I just got
blinded by jealousy for a moment, I love you too much
Weâre the match made in heaven, fate brought us together that night to be each otherâs one and only. But, Letitia is your legit wife Mr Ramirez, it just breaks my heart
Just thinking about her being able to snuggle up in bed with you, share meals with you, I get so jealous I could go crazy. Clearly, she stole everything that was meant for me. So I just wanted to take it out on her⦠thankfully, you showed up in time!â Shela grabbed Elgins arm and gave it a gentle shake. Otherwise, I wouldâve made a huge mistake. Mr. Ramirez, these are the reflections Iâve had today!â
Her words rang with sincerity. She was like a woman madly in love, unraveling due to her powerful emotions, her every
word etching the depth of her ardor for Elgin.
âIâll apologize to Letitia, I promise I wonât bully her again, Iâll be good. Mr. Ramirez, can you please stop being mad at Î Î Shela pouted turning on the charm now.
Admitting her mistake, showing love, being cutesy⦠she had got it all down pat
Elgin, already feeling guilty towards her, saw her sincere attitude and decided to let it slide.
âGet up.â He reached out to help her up.
âThank you, Mr. Ramirez!â Shela jumped up with joy, latching onto his arm.
âI wonât ever do anything to put you in a tough spot again. Shela said earnestly, âIâll just wait patiently until you take me
home!TM
âOkayâ
âSo, you forgive me, right?â
Elgin nodded.
âYay!â Shela beamed, âI knew you were the best! Mr. Ramirez, Iâll go apologize to Letitia!â
Before Elgin could respond, she was already off and running.
Seeing her approach, Letitia instinctively stepped back to keep her distance, âWhat trick are you pulling this time?â
âIâm here to apologize.â Shela batted her eyelashes innocently, âMr. Ramirez is watchingâ
âYouâre really here to apologize to me?â
âYeah, Iâm standing right in front of you, arenât I?â
Letitia eyed her warily.
Shela smiled, looking as harmless as they come, nothing like the fierce kick she delivered to Letitiaâs stomach earlier.
âIâm sorry, Letitia Shela said, âI shouldnât have been so aggressive today, my dad already gave me an earful, and Mr. Ramirez punished me. Next time. I wonât be so directâ
You really areâ¦â
Shush, let me finish. I was too hasty, after all, youâre the Mrs. Ramirez in name only. Just you wait!â
Letitia stared at her, âWhy are you targeting me? Elgin promised to marry you, to divorce me, what more do you want?â

âGet nd of the kid Shela said Letitia youâre in hot water as it is, the kidâs just dead weight.â
Letitia shook her head, âNo, you have no right to decide my childâs fate!
âThen donât blame me for not being nice! With those harsh words, Shela turned to leave.
Wait! Letitia called out to her. You do you know who he is?â
That night, it was the director who got her out of the psych ward and sent her to the hotel, he must know everything! And Shela being the directorâs daughter, must be in on the secret!

The truth was within armâs reach!
âOuch Shela suddenly cried out pitifully. âYou scratched me, Lalready apologized, why are you retaliatingâ¦â
Elgin, approaching at that moment, heard her and shot a sharp glance at Letitia.
But Letitiaâs mind was completely consumed by the bombshell about the childâs father.
She needed to know, who was the man that night!
âTell me!â she slung to Shela, âThat man who is he?â
âYouâre hurting me.

Letitia struggled to take steps, descending the stairs.
Just as she was about to speak, Elgin got her by the throat.
âYou are out of line, Letitia, his fingers tightened, âYou really think I wouldnât lay a finger on you now? Whereâs this confidence coming from?â
âI never thought that.â
âIâve been too nice to you lately! Youâre getting way too cocky!â
His grip on her neck tightened, forcing Letitia to tilt her head back, gasping for air.
âHah⦠she chuckled, âYou being nice? Elgin, youâre the one who dragged me from heaven to hell!â
Elginâs face was fierce, full of loathing. âYou got what you deserved!â
âEven if my dad killed yours, that was their issue. Why the hell are you taking it out on me?!â
