But Shela stomped on the pillbox, “Wait up, Letitia, what’s this pill for?”
“Get your foot off!*
Shela was pressing down hard, “You seem pretty freaked out… Let me see.”
Letitia sprang into action, lifting her foot with one hand, and digging for the pillbox with the other. But it was too late.
“This pill… isn’t it for emergency contraception? Shela said, “Letitia, why are you taking this?”
The moment she spoke, Shela got it, “You, you were with Mr. Ramirez last night…”
While Shela was still stunned, Letitia snatched the pillbox and stuffed it into her bag, not looking back as she made her exit.
She hadn’t gone far when Shela caught up, grabbing her hand, “Hold up, Letitia, you can’t just walk away,”
“What do you want?”
We’re going to see Mr. Ramirez! Shela announced, “You sneaking around, popping pills behind his back!”
Letitia denied it, “I have no clue what you’re babbling about.”
“Cut the crap, Shela laughed, “If Mr. Ramirez didn’t want you to have kids, he’d take precautions or give you the pill himself right after and watch you swallow it. No way he’d let you buy and take the pill yourself!”
Now Shela’s brain was firing on all cylinders! Her chance to turn the tables had come!
She clung to Letitia, “Come on, we’re off to see Mr. Ramirez!”
In the president’s office at the Ramirez Group.
Ranen Mitchell said, “Mr. Ramirez, Ms. Ward insisted on barging in, I… I couldn’t stop her.”.
“Leave us”
“Sure.”
Ranen bolted, making sure to shut the door tight behind him.
Letitia was slightly pale, staying silent.
She was caught by Shela, and she had nowhere to hide.
Elgin Ramirez leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the desk.
The last thing he wanted was Letitia and Shela showing up together.
Yet here they were, both of them, where they shouldn’t be today.
“Mr. Ramirez, I’ve found out Letitia’s little secret!” Shela said smugly, “Just outside the company, I saw her hiding a box of pills in her bag!”
“Pills?*
“Yeah, it’s still in her bag. She’s clutching it tight, won’t let me touch it!”
Letitia retorted, “Why should I hand over my stuff to you?”
“Heh, ’cause you’re acting all guilty!” Shela boasted, Mr. Ramirez, you should take a look at what’s in that pillbox!”
Letitia instinctively covered her bag.
What you fear most has a way of happening.
If only she knew, she would’ve dry swallowed that pill without a second thought!
Letitia, Elgin asked, “what’s the pill, show me.”
She didn’t budge.
After an awkward ten seconds, Elgin stood up, striding over to her.
Letitia stepped back.
His slender fingers reached into her bag, fishing around until he found it.
Letsia’s heart sank.
Elgin’s expression darkened as he read the label on the pillbox.
Chela kept stirring the pot. “Mr. Ramirez, she must’ve been taking this behind your back, right? She was panicked when I caught her red handed”
*So i figured, you had to be in the dark. Letitia just had a miscarriage, and she’s your wife, so she could only be with you… She’s clearly not keen on having your kids!”
Tim dying to bear your children, to have that chance, but begging won’t even get me there. And there’s Letitia, actually going out of her way to take pills.*
“She’d rather have someone else’s kid than carry yours… Mr. Ramirez, it’s plain to see who loves you and who doesn’t!*
Shela was on a roll, “You keep telling me you love her. But look, she’s trampling all over your love, she doesn’t deserve it, Mr. Ramirez. Letitia is selfish and.”
Before she could finish, Elgin roared, “Shut up!”
His voice echoed in the office, deafening
Shela clammed up instantly, not even daring to breathe.
Elgin, veins throbbing on his forehead, glared at Letitia with a look that could kill.
“Letitia,” he held up the pillbox, “Why do you want to take this? You dared to sneak around and pop pills behind my back? You’ve got some nerve!”
He’d told her countless times he wanted a child.
He wanted her to get pregnant, so he purposely didn’t use protection, emphasizing it to her over and over again, and what does she do?
Letitia goes behind his back and buys the pill!
“If it wasn’t for Shela’s timely discovery… you would’ve taken this pill already!”
Just the thought made Elgin’s heart wrench with pain. It was the first time he felt the full force of his love being stomped on. All his efforts in exchange for Letitia’s cold indifference!
“Speak up! Elgin shouted. “Letitia, why?”
He was hoping, against hope, for a reasonable explanation from Letitia.
Even if it was fake, a lie… as long as it made some sense, he was ready to believe it.
Because he could handle the lies, but the truth was too brutal.
The truth was she didn’t want to carry his child! That’s not what Elgin wanted to hear!
“L” Letitia opened her mouth, “I have nothing to say. It’s exactly as you see.”
The evidence was irrefutable, she couldn’t explain it away.
“So you really don’t want my child?”
“I’ve made it clear before, more than once, I don’t want to have your children,” Letitia replied, “Last night, you forced me.*
Those words crushed Elgin’s love once again.
His rage was burning through his sanity!
“Letitia!” Elgin raised his hand high, his broad palm shaking uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Shela was over the moon. Go ahead, knock Letitia dead!
Mr. Ramirez and Letitia slept together without protection, wanting a child, only for Letitia to secretly go buy the pill.
Some people just don’t know how to appreciate what they have.
Shela thought to herself, looks like my ship’s about to come in.
She had figured that this time, she’d let Letitia take the win, but who knew she would be so clueless and tick off Mr. Ramirez. Now’s her chance to really seize the day!
“Mr. Ramirez, from the get-go, the one who’s truly been head over heels for you… that’s me,” Shela said with a touch of self-pity, That night, it was me. The one who’s been crazy about you, the one dying to have your babies, still me.”
‘Get out!”
“Mr. Ramirez..
I said scram!”
Shela shrank back, her neck retracting like a scared turtle, and she reluctantly shuffled out of the office.
But Letitia, she was no stranger to Elgin’s hot-tempered antics, so she kept her cool.
Ched seen Elgin even more steamed up than this.
Tim going to take those pills, I don’t want to have your kid,” Letitia laid it all out there, blunt as a hammer, “Elgin, we’ve got hatred, and
you personally marched me into that OR to get rid of my baby… how in the world could I ever want to make bables with you!”
