Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43

It was an accident! She didn’t want this to happen either!

Elgin snorted with a hint of frost, “You think I can’t see what’s going on?”

Letitia rolled her eyes in frustration, “Think whatever you want, I’m going to bed.”

No sooner had her words faded than Elgin dipped down and sealed her lips with his. The wispy strands of hair from his forehead fell, tickling her eyes and causing a distracting itch.

This time, Elgin’s kiss was gentle as a feather touch. Not like before, when he was all rough and forceful.

Just as Letitia’s hand lifted in a feeble attempt to push him away, he caught it and hoisted it over her head.

“Should I grant your wish?” Elgin’s voice was a low growl, “So you don’t have to scheme to seduce me”

“I didn’t… mmph.”

Suddenly, Elgin turned rough again, his kiss fierce enough to draw blood from her lips.

Letitia’s brows knitted in pain. The more she resisted, the harder he pressed down on her.

Out of options, Letitia bit him hard, and the taste of blood filled both of their mouths.

As Elgin pulled back, his hands braced beside her ears, he stared into her eyes with an unfathomable depth, not even blinking.

A drop of blood adorned the corner of his mouth, giving him a dangerously enticing look.

Letitia couldn’t fathom his thoughts and kept silent.

Elgin was a ticking bomb one wrong word and she’d be in for a world of hurt.

After what felt like an eternity, Elgin finally spoke, “…Sometimes I really wish you’d succeed in seducing me. But I can’t give you what you want!”

He raised his hand and cleaned the blood on her lips.

Letitia maintained her silence.

This version of Elgin was the most dangerous, looking like he could blow a fuse at any given moment.

He got up to leave, his voice icy, “Get dressed!”

Looking down, Letitia realized that in the scuffle, her neckline had become loose, exposing the soft curves underneath.

She quickly covered up and dashed into the bathroom for cover.

Best not to cross paths with Elgin right now!

Facing her reflection in the mirror, with blood on her lips, her hair a mess, and her cheeks flushed like blooming peach blossoms… anyone could tell what had just happened.

About to turn on the tap, she heard the ringtone of a cellphone outside.

Elgin answered, “Hello?”

Then, he rapped on the door, “Letitia, get to the hospital.”

Something felt off to her, and she asked, “What happened?”

Mark’s condition has suddenly worsened. They need you, be prepared for a blood draw!”

Letitia clenched her teeth.

Worsened? She guessed it was Shela and her father’s plan to bleed her dry!

Three days of blood draws, no one could save the baby in her belly!

Come out! Did you hear me? Elgin’s voice grew louder as there was no response, “Letitia!”

Unexpectedly, Letitia opened the door swiftly, “Alright, let’s go.”

Her willingness to cooperate took Elgin by surprise.

After a brief pause, he turned, “Follow me!”

Outside the ICU.

Shela was still sobbing, “Mr. Ramirez, if anything happens to my day, what should we do… I’ve been worried sick these past few days, can’t eat, can’t sleep, I’m terrified of losing him.”

“It won’t happen, Elgin consoled her.
