Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 8

“Yeah, Phedra, we both did it,” Raizel said, “You can’t just stand there and watch the show.”

“Come on, Raizel. I’m no spring chicken anymore…”

Letitia immediately cut her off, “Look at that. Phedra doesn’t even want to lift a finger!”

While saying this, she secretly tried to wriggle out of the ropes.

Raizel thought Letitia had a point and handed a knife to Phedra. “Alright. You slash the left side, and I’ll handle the right.”

“Deal.” Phedra agreed, “You start cutting, I’ll hold her down so she doesn’t squirm!”

“Got it.”

The two were in perfect cahoots.

Letitia’s wrists were turning red, and the ropes showed no sign of loosening.

Phedra came over to pin her head down. “Don’t play tricks, and it’ll hurt less. This knife isn’t picky! Come on, Raizel, do

it!”

“You’ve got so smooth skin. No wonder you could charm Elgin. I’ll slash it up good today!”

Raizel approached with a wicked grin.

The knife drew closer and closer until it pressed against Letitia’s cheek, its icy chill sending shivers.

“Just a little pressure, and there goes your beauty…”

Letitia swallowed hard with anxiety. “You… you’re not afraid of Elgin?”

“With the Morris family backing me, he won’t hurt me.”

As Raizel was about to cut Letitia’s face, a deep and authoritative voice echoed from afar at that critical moment, “Stop right there!”

That voice sounded familiar!

Letitia’s spirits lifted, and she shouted with all her might, “Elgin, save me!”

The screech of tires on pavement sounded, and before the car had stopped, Elgin was already out and on the move

He came striding over, his suit tails flapping, his face filled with fury.
