Chapter 25

“You’re paying for the sins of the Sanders family! Elgin’s velns were popping at his temples as he bellowed with rage.

And Shela in his arms, smug and taunting, flashed a victorious grin at her.

Letitia conceded, “Fine, if you think I pushed her, then yeah, I did it.”

She didn’t feel like explaining anymore

Elgin scooped up Shela and strode away. You better pray she’s okay! For every bone she breaks, I’ll break two of yours!” Letitia stood frozen, watching as Elgin gently placed Shela in the car and headed for the hospital.

In her heart, Elgin was the devil incamate But even devils have a soft spot, it’s just that she’d never get to see il Letitia looked down at the scratches on the back of her hand, her skin broken, blood seeping through.

The real culprit was Shela. Hiding behind an apology, she forced her to get an abortion!

That night, Letitia didn’t sleep, squatting by the door waiting for Elgin to come back

Hearing footsteps, she looked up. But Elgin passed by her with icy indifference, “Lucky you, Shela just got a scratch

Elgin was about to enter his room but then stopped and turned to her, “Letitia, being married to me and living in Ivory Towers is no different from being in a mental hospital. Get it?”

He said, “You are paying for your sin, just in a different place, with different methods.”

Letitia looked up at him, “Can I go back to the mental hospital then?”

Living with him proved to be more terrifying. She’d rather return to that eerie, empty cottage.

“After the divorce, if you want to go back, I’ll let you,” Elgin said, “But not now.”

Letitia felt a wave of despair.

“After being imprisoned two years, I married to you. Isn’t that enough atonement? When will you let me go?”

“Heh, you really think you’ll be free after we divorce?”

Letitia closed her eyes, “At least let me live a normal life!”

“In your dreams!” Elgin shattered all her fantasies.

“I haven’t decided yet how I’m going to torment you after the divorce, he sneered, “But remember, you’ll never escape my grasp!”

“Bang!” The door slammed shut, echoing loudly

Letitia slowly clenched the blanket, hugging her shoulders against the wall.

The only company she had now was the tiny life inside her.

“Baby, mommy won’t give up on you.”

The Ramirez Group.
