Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 150

ly out of it.

In the end, Letitia had totally thrown in the towel, feeling utterly

As she lay in bed and finally closed her eyes, she noticed the first light of dawn creeping in through the window.

Watching the woman sleeping in his arms, Elgin planted a kiss on her forehead.

“Letitia, in this lifetime… you can only be mine.”

It was weird, he’s always been Mr. Self-control! Why does he throw all caution to the wind with Letitia?!

The uncanny familiarity of tonight, with Letitia, mirrored his last clandestine encounter with Shela in a dimly lit hotel room. It was remarkably like that night!

“If only it had been you that night, not Shela, Elgin said, “things wouldn’t be like this between us now.

But sadly, there are no ifs in life.

Morning broke gradually

When Letitia woke up, it was already noon. She felt groggy and weak all over. Damn Elgin!

After taking a hot bath, Letitia felt a bit better.

“Malam,” the butler greeted her as she came downstairs, “your meal is ready in the kitchen. Would you like to eat now?”

She nodded, “Yeah, thanks”

“Don’t mention it, Mr. Ramirez made it clear to let you sleep in since you were tired last night.”

Letitia’s cheeks flushed and she quickly made her way to the dining room.

While eating, she called the hospital. The doctor informed her that Malinda was still in the ICU under observation, still critical but stable.

Worried but powerless, Letitia could only pray silently in her heart.

After finishing her meal, Letitia grabbed her purse, ready to leave.

“Ma’am, where are you headed?”

“To the office,” she replied “Did Elgin forbid me from going out?”

“Mr. Ramirez said you could take the day off and stay home”

“No, I can go to work. Letitia insisted, thinking, “Just because he’s worn me out all night, I can’t get out of bed or leave the house, so I’m skipping work too? That would be the joke of the year if word got out.”

The butler offered, “I’ll have the driver get the car ready

“No need, Ill take the bus

Any car from Elgin’s fleet is worth a cool million, at least.

She can’t afford to roll in those kinds of wheels. Plus… Letitia had a major issue to deal with

Last night, Elgin didn’t take any precautions.

Neither in the car nor back in the master bedroom did he bother with birth control!

He wants a baby with her, urging her to get ready for pregnancy, naturally he wouldn’t take any steps to prevent it, the sooner she gets pregnant, the better for him.

But! Letitia didn’t want a kid with him! So, she needs to get some pills.

It’s still within 24 hours, the pill should still work!

After getting off the bus, Letitia didn’t head to the Ramirez Group but made a beeline for a nearby phamacy instead.

To avoid bumping into colleagues, she wore a mask and kept her head down, grabbing the medicine and heading straight to pay.

The cashier glanced at her but said nothing.

Everything went smoothly with purchasing the medicine.

Letra shoved the pills in her pocket and scurried off.

She planned to find a secluded comer to take the pills quickly.

Just when she was about to take it, she remembered she forgot to buy water,

Too serious she forgot you need water to swallow pills.

I’m so stupid Letitia smacked her head and hurned off to buy water.

But just two steps later, she saw Shela stepping out of a car by the roadside

Talk about a small world! Letitia immediately tumed to leave, but it was too late.

“Letitia!” Shela, with her eagle eyes, spotted her, “What are you hiding for? You’re riding high now!”

Letitia pretended not to hear her and kept walking.

Shela wasn’t about to let her off the hook, “Hey! Stop right there!”

Shela was furing – Elgin was cutting ties with her, and Letitia was the new favorite, leaving her in the dust!

“This is fishy, Shela blocked her path, “Letitia, why run when you see me?”

Letitia gave her a once-over. “Because you’re an eyesore.”

“Heh, are you doing something shady? Is that why you’re avoiding me?”

Letitia was startled but kept her cool. “Spit it out if you’ve got something to say, I’ve got stuff to do, not as free as you.”

Shela flicked her hair, flaunting the ring on her ring finger, Yeah, I’m free, because I’m loaded. Did you know Mr. Ramirez gave me ten million dollars, plus a big house I could do nothing for the rest of my life and still have money to burn.”

“Oh

“What’s with the attitude!”

“That’s my attitude,” Letitia shrugged, “Enjoy your shiny ring, never take it off, after all, it’s so flashy, so prestigious, you should take it to the grave!”

Once getting the new wireless headsets, she’ll be able to hear the secrets she’s been dying to know!

Shela held her chin high, And you, what do you have? Besides being Mrs. Ramirez, you’ve got nothing!”

“That’s one title you can’t get your hands on!”

“Don’t get too cocky! Shela snapped, “I came to see Mr. Ramirez today, just an apology and he’ll forgive me!”

Letitia, Oh

She just wanted to leave quickly and take the pill.

The longer the pill stayed on her, the more chance there was of being discovered!

If Elgin found out she was secretly taking birth control, he would blow his top!

Annoyed, Letitia waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t stand in my way.”

Shela sneered, “Your time being smug won’t last long!”

She believed that Mr. Ramirez giving her money, property, and cars meant he still had feelings for her, he was just temporarily bewitched by Letitia, the vixen

Otherwise, Mr. Ramirez would have taken back the wedding ring long ago.

Letitia pushed past Shela, and just as she was about to leave, a little boy on a bike came her way. The boy must have just learned to ride; he was wobbly and unsteady

Seeing Letitia approach, he panicked and slammed on the brakes.

The bike screeched and toppled to one side

As it fell, the handlebar snagged Letitia’s bag, yanking it away.

The bike went down, and the contents of the bag scattered everywhere

The little boy hit the ground and burst into tears.

Everything went down so fast. Letitia didn’t even have a second to catch her breath

She wanted to help the little boy up and maybe throw in a few soothing words, but the pills were in her bag!

Crap!

Screw everything else, she dropped to the ground in a hot mess, scrambling to pick up her stuff, and quickly reached for the medicine borto shove it back into her bag.
