SWNOVELS Chapter 113
Chapter 113
Elgin came crashing down on top of her. He trapped her between the seat and his chest, deepening the already impromptu kiss relentlessly.
Letitia was about to pass out from lack of air… and she sensed danger.
Things were going to escalate if they kept making out like this!
Elgin was a man, driven by instincts and desires!
With that thought. Letitia bit him hard, which led to him biting her back.
Both of their lips were bleeding.
Elgin’s hand reached for the buttons on her blouse, ready to pop them open.
“No” Letitia slammed her hands against his chest, pushing him off her with all her might
The light inside the car was dim, and the silence around them was only broken by Elgin’s heavy breathing in her ear.
“Elgin.. What the heck are you doing? Letitia swallowed hard.
“Can’t you feel it?’
His fingers brushed her chin. “Letitia, I’m your husband. I have every right to…”
She panicked, “But you didn’t marry me for real!”
“So what if I want to touch you, what are you going to do about it?!”
“You could go to Shela! Letitia blurted out. She’s into you, always at your beck and call!”
Elgin snorted coldly “But you’re my wife, Letitia.
“Now you remember I’m your wife? Have you ever truly treated me as your equal?”
Elgin propped himself up beside her, his gaze piercing through the darkness.
Their eyes locked, both able to see the flood of emotions in the other’s.
His eyes were filled with intense passion, while hers were a mix of fear, anxiety, and discomfort.
“So you really want me to back off…” Elgin’s eyes suddenly turned icy. “Letitia, are you trying to stay pure for that other guy?”
“I’m not some easy girl, nor am I a plaything for you to satisfy your needs!”
“Heh, who do you think you are? Letitia, you came to me to atone!”
She bit her lip. “Not with my body.”
“Grandpa said,” Elgin reminded her, “if you give birth to the Ramirez family child, he might consider forgiving your dad… Don’t you feel even a little bit tempted?
Of course, Letitia wanted her father to be free and to return to a normal life.
L
“Your hesitation proves you’re willing to use your body to atone Elgin’s tone was mocking “What’s with the act of a chaste martyr?”
His words were a direct hit on her last shred of dignity
“Yes, I want to save my father. I even said before, if you want, after having this child, I could bear yours…”
Elgin cut her off, his tone firm and chilling. “I don’t want the future, I want now!”
He was a man used to getting what he wanted, never failing. Yet Letitia was the nail that bent his hammer.
She was his enemy, he despised and tormented her, but why did he feel so different about her?
Letitia gazed at him, stunned. “Now? You want me now?”
Was he confessing his feeling? It sounded so heartfelt.
But the next second, Elgin bolted from the car without even closing the door and strode away.
Letitia straightened up, quickly fixing her disheveled clothes, watching his figure grow distant.
Phew that was a close call.
igin really incisted on having his way with her in the car, she’d be helpless!
Chapter 113
Back in the servant’s quarters, Letitia’s lips still tingled.
She faced the mirror, looking at her bitten lips, and silently cursed Elgin.
Was this guy a dog or something? Why did he have to bite!
Before bed, Letitia put on her earphones, eavesdropping on Shela’s movements.
Shela’s life was full of color, either shopping or having afternoon tea, nothing useful at all.
Bored, Letitia dozed off listening to the sound.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Shela rocked up to Ivory Towers bright and early
Letitia was jolted awake by the noise in her earbuds.
Shelais voice was cutesy, “Mr. Ramirez, you’re up? I was about to wake you”
Letitia froze for a few seconds before she reacted, removing her earphones.
She had to dawdle before going out, she didn’t want to see that woman, better to steer clear for now
In the master bedroom.
Elgin, while putting on his shirt, frowned at Shela’s intrusion “Who let you in?”
The butler told me you were here, so here I am,” she cooed “Or… don’t you want to see me, Mr. Ramirez?”
“Just wait for me in the living room.”
“I thought you were still asleep.”
Elgin grabbed his jacket. “Out”
Shela didn’t budge, fussing with the bed. “Go freshen up, Mr. Ramirez, I’ll make the bed… Ah!”
Her wrist was gripped tightly.
“Out Elgin’s face was grim. “Don’t make me say it a third time!”
“You’re hurting me…
Then Elgin let her go.
Shela played the victim. I just wanted to help, why are you being so harsh?”
“The servants will handle it, no need for you to lift a finger”
“I want to be a good wife and mother. Shela tried to continue, but shut up at Elgin’s glare.
Elgin, now dressed, glanced at the messy bed. He had a reason for not letting Shela tidy up.
With a flick, he revealed the sheets. stained with unspeakable things.
He yanked them down, throwing them to the floor, stepping on them with his shoe.
Last night… he had dreamt of Letitia, and woke up to this.
This was a secret Elgin kept to himself. And even he couldn’t face it!
This left Elgin in a foul mood all morning, not uttering more than three words to Shela
She, clueless, felt snubbed.
After Elgin left for the office, Shela, fuming, headed to the servants’ quarters to pick a fight with Letitia and vent her frustration, only to find Letitia had already made her escape through the back door
“Nice move, Letitia Shela stomped her foot. “You might dodge me today, but let’s see about tomorrow and the day after! Just you wait!” The butler came over, “Ms. Ward, if there’s nothing else, you’re free to go
“What? You dare to kick me out?”
“Ivory Towers is having a major cleanup, the garden needs weeding and spraying, you sure you want to stick around?”
Shela gave him a fierce glare, “Fine, I’ll leave!”
She had thought that after her miscarriage, Mr. Ramirez would be more compassionate towards her, that his attitude would change… But he didn’t change at all.
Shela went to the mental hospital and found Mark. “Dad!”
Shela what’s up? Mark had a big smile, “I saw your ring from a mile away Whoa, it’s really sparkling! Let me take a closer look!”
