Chapter 2

What the hell?

Chapter 2

Elgin scooped her up with his big hands and tossed her into the car like it was nothing.

Cowering in the corner, Letitia panicked. “Who, who are you marrying me off to No, let me out of the car…”

She was a living and breathing person, not some parcel they could pass around.

“I could marry you off to anyone I want.” Elgin pinched her chin. saying icily, “You don’t get a say”

Letitia felt like crying but feared annoying him, so she held back her tears, not daring to let them fall. Catching a glimpse of Letitia’s tear-filled and bright eyes, Elgin felt a momentary softness in his heart.

No, how could he feel pity for his enemy’s daughter? Ridiculous! Elgin’s face looked cold and impassive again as he irritably adjusted his tie.

Suddenly, a pair of soft and pale hands appeared in his cuffs.

“Please, please don’t…” Letitia’s tears splashed onto the back of his hand. “Anything but this. Don’t ruin me like this…”

It was the first time she had begged Elgin, and she didn’t know if it would make any difference.

Her voice eerily reminded Elgin of the woman from the night before.

There was a resemblance! But it couldn’t be Letitia. She had been locked up in the mental hospital and had no way out.

Elgin gently cleaned the tears from his hand. “After two years, I finally hear you back down.”

Then, he said with a cruel smile, “Too bad. It’s pointless.”

Her hands slipped from his sleeve.

His phone started ringing. Phedra, his stepmother, was calling.

“Dear Elgin,” Phedra pretended to care and asked, “I heard you were with a woman at the hotel last night..

Before she could finish, Elgin cut her off, “That’s right. We’re on our way to the city hall now.”

“What. huh? You’re marrying her?”

“Yes.”

Elgin was a master at striking the first blow.
