Chapter 16

The icy water sent a shiver down Letitia’s spine. What the heck was he doing?

Meanwhile, Elgin, with his other hand, yanked off her clothes, scrubbing her skin clean.

Before long, several red marks appeared on Letitia’s body!

“Elgin! Letitia could no longer contain her rage, and she yelled at him, her face dripping with water, “What the hell are you doing?!”

“Why the hell did you let Walden touch you?” Elgin’s possessiveness was terrifyingly intense.

She belonged to him, and even if he treated her like trash and despised her, no one else could lay a finger on her!

Letitia glared at him with reddened eyes, “I pushed him away, it was just for a second!”

“No matter how brief, it’s not okay!”

Elgin was fiercely rinsing Letitia’s shoulder, as if he wished he could peel off her skin.

At first, Letitia struggled fiercely, but then she just stood there numbly, like a puppet.

She was soaked through, with water dripping from the tips of her hair.

Elgin wasn’t in much better shape himself. Seeing her pale as death, a crazy thought momentarily flashed through his

mind-he wanted her!

“Damn it! Elgin threw down the showerhead and grabbed her chin, leaning down to plant a deep kiss on her!

It was more of a devouring than a kiss. Both of them were drenched, and Letitia was forced to tilt her head back. Anyway, she couldn’t resist.

Her rare compliance only fueled the fire burning inside Elgin. He was about to lose control over himself! Her body had a familiar feeling that he hadn’t felt in a long time!

Suddenly, Letitia, trembling, wrapped her arms around his neck and looked down as she asked, “Elgin… could you give me some money?”

She was really at her wit’s end-she needed to treat her dad’s burns and wanted to bribe some prison guards in the prison to ensure they didn’t give her dad a hard time.

All of this required money.

“Heh, so you’re not feigning resistance this time because you need something from me,” Elgin scoffed, “Letitia, you know I’m not short on cash.”

“Yes, so can you give it to me? Letitia clenched her fists, forcing herself to meet his gaze.

He eyed her lips, “How much?”

“Twenty thousand.”
