Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 6

Letitia jolted awake from her dream.

Blinking sleepily, she gazed at Elgin and mumbled, “What’s… what’s going on?”

She couldn’t remembe: she had done anything.

Did she accidentally wake him by talking in her sleep, or did she go sleepwalking?

Elgin’s face was getting darker by the second, and Letitia shrank back. “I told you I shouldn’t be crashing here. Sorry, I’m leaving right away”

She quickly bent down, scooped up her pillow and blanket, and made a beeline for the door

Little did she know that her tousled hair and just-woke-up vibe were irresistible allure to him

Before she could get far, Elgin yanked her into his embrace. “Are you playing the seductress all day to reel me in? Fine, I’ll play along!”

“I mph…”

Elgin’s lips came crashing down

Letitia was scared silly with her mouth unwittingly agape..

He sneered, “Oh are you that much eager, huh?”

It snapped Letitia back to reality, and she tried to clamp her lips shut. But Elgin pinched her chin so hard it made her wince, which seemed like an invitation to his kiss.

How could she be kissing Elgin? They were enemies!

“I wouldn’t touch you even if you stripped naked in front of me,” Elgin said icily, biting her lip so hard that it bled. “Letitia, you’re nothing but a toy to me. You disgust me!”

The blood trickled down, landing on the back of her hand.

Letitia didn’t understand his rage. All she could do was stand there with her head down, devoid of the right to resist

Elgin looked at her and felt even more irritated. “Get the hell out.”

After a few steps, she heard Elgin command, “Don’t wander far!”

As a result, Letitia slept right outside his bedroom door that night.

She didn’t dare sleep deeply, fearing she might tick Elgin off again, so she spent the night in a half-awake daze until dawn.

At around eight, Letitia heard footsteps inside. She immediately got up and stood at attention.
