Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 145

He leaned in close to her, saying, “This isn’t a discussion. Get on board with the baby-making plan, and you can head back to the company. Otherwise, you can play the little lady of leisure at home-I can afford to keep you.”

Classic Elgin. Always forcing her to do things she hates, using every trick in the book!

Letitia, grinding her teeth retorted, “Elgin, I despise you. Aren’t you afraid that if I do get pregnant with your child, I might intentionally miscarry just to get back at you, just to hurt you?*

After hearing her, he cracked a smirk, “No, you wouldn’t.”

“Yes, I would! Because I hate you!”

“What do you mean, ‘get pregnant with my child?” Elgin shot back, his voice deepening, “That child would also be yours-carrying half of your blood. Letitia, you couldn’t be that cruel.”

See, he had her figured out to a T

Right, even if Letitia hated Elgin to the core, she couldn’t bring herself to hate the child.

So… her only choice was not to get pregnant!

“Let’s get ready to have a baby,” Elgin whispered into her ear his breath warm against her skin, “to have a child that’s ours.”

Truth be told, he had his own agenda Elgin figured that once she was pregnant, once there was a child, Letitia would have no choice but to completely resign herself to staying by his side.

He was using the child to tie her down. They say a woman’s heart softens when she becomes a mother.

By then, for the sake of the child, Letitia’s hatred toward him would start to fade, bit by bit.

Letitia turned her head to dodge his affection.

Back at Ivory Towers, Letitia headed straight to the servants’ quarters without looking back. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Elgin watched her go in silence.

“Mr. Ramirez, didn’t you already move the madam’s belongings back to the master bedroom?” the butler asked. “Shall I call her back?”

“No need.”

Letitia had no clue about this. She pushed open the door to her room and found it completely empty. Her stuff was gone, leaving only the bare bones of a bed frame.

Crap! The wireless headsets she used to eavesdrop on Shela’s secrets was hidden in a pillowcase!

Would it be lost? What if it was? Or… did the servants find it while tidying up and give it to Elgin?

Either possibility sent a shiver down Letitia’s spine!

She still needed to listen in on what Shela and her mother had discussed at the sanatorium!

She needed to know the content of that conversation! But without the wireless headsets… what was she to do?

Letitia turned back, only to find Elgin still standing there. She confronted him directly. “Did you instruct the servants to move my stuff?*

“Yes.”

“Where to?”

The master bedroom,” Elgin replied. “You’ll be sleeping with me from now on.”

Letitia couldn’t care less about where to sleep, her mind was fixated on her wireless headsets!

She hurried to the master bedroom.

It had been a while since she’d been to the second floor, and she noticed it had been redecorated. New carpets, new curtains…Stepping into the master bedroom, she spotted even more changes.

Gone were the masculine black, white, and gray lanes, replaced by touches of femininity. The walk-in closet was filled with brand-new women’s clothing in her size.

Even the bathroom was stocked with her personal toiletries…

Leia cealized that when Elgin wanted to treat someone well, that person truly became the luckiest woman in the world. Too bad.. what he offered her was a slap first, then a candy

That ‘sp hurt her badly, so badly that the candy he offered wasn’t sweet enough to erase the pain and sorrow in her heart

Fantically, Letitia scoured for the missing wireless headsets

She sucked under the bed, rifled through the pillows, scoured the closet, combed through the walk-in closet…

She turned every comer she could think of, yet there was no trace of the wireless headsets.

What was she going to do?

“What are you looking for? Elgin suddenly spoke from the doorway.

Startled, she quickly got up, “Nothing, just some personal stuff”

1 had all the things from your room in the servants’ quarters thrown away.”

Letitia’s eyes widened. “Thrown away?

Just some old stuff. I had the butler get new ones, Elgin said, “You’ll like them.”

Like hell!

He actually threw them away! No wonder she couldn’t find her wireless headsets!

Letitia was boiling inside but could only glare at him “Please, in the future, don’t mess with my stuff without asking!”

“Those trinkets of yours, what’s there to fuss about?

In Elgin’s eyes, everything Letitia wore and used was too cheap and lacked quality.

He wanted to give her expensive, high quality things But once again, she was ungrateful!

“Even if it’s just trinkets you should’ve at least told me before tossing my stuff!”

Elgin’s face darkened

It was a thankless task for him! She was the only one who didn’t appreciate it.

“Enough,” Letitia fumed. “I’m heading to the company!”

She couldn’t stand another second in Ivory Towers

She needed to see Vidonia and find out if there was any way to fix this!

Once at the company, Letitia made a beeline for Vidonia’s office.

“What do I do, Vidonia, I came back from the hospital to find my wireless headsets gone…” Letitia asked anxiously. “Is there anything we can do?”

*It’s gone?

“Yes! Elgin threw away all my stuff and bought new things! Even speaking of it got Letitia heated.

Vidonia was speechless

“Shela went to see my mom wearing the ring. Letitia continued, “I don’t know what she said to my mom in the hospital room, but it pissed her off so much she went into emergency care and she’s still not out of danger. So, I need to know what was said in that conversation, and fast”

“What? Your mom almost died because of her!?”

Vidonia shot up, grinding her teeth, “Hold on, I’ll ask if the tech department can do something, maybe make new wireless headsets”

“Okay.

Vidonia went to make some calls, communicating back and forth.

Half an hour later, she finally exhaled in relief, Sorted. But it’ll take some time to make new wireless headsets. Once it’s ready, they’ll ship it directly to me.

“How long will it take? Letitia asked.

“Three days at the soonest, a week at the latest

just hope my mom… Letitia’s voice choked up as she spoke.

“Your morn will be fine, don’t worry, Vidonia soothed her, “when she wakes up, you bring me to see her I guarantee Ill cheer her up.”

Letitia sighed, ‘That’s all we can do for now”

Letitia, pull yourself together Losing the child… Im as devastated as you. But life has to go on. You still have your dad and mom, and

have me. Don’t lose faith

talked her, Vidonia, as long as I’m stuck with Elgin, I’m never gonna catch a break”

bosomes, his dominance his need to control… They’re all suffocating her.

I’ve got no choice but to stay Lea murmured. I need to unravel the truth behind Marcel’s death, and my folks

clutches Once all of this is over, only then can I truly bail.”

Vidonia took her hand, “I know it’s harsh to say, but I gotta lay it out. Letitia, even when the truth comes out, do you really think Elgin’s gonna let you walk away?”
