Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 26

“Got it. It’s just…” Letitia said, “I don’t have a dress for it.”

Elgin leaned back, eyes half-closed, eyeing her.

“Letitia, do you remember the first time we met?”

Naive as she was, she walked in only to find Elgin in black. His presence was daunting – devilishly handsome with an air of menace.

“You’re Dr. Sanders daughter?”

“Yes.. yes

“Letitia Sanders?

“Yes

“Good” Elgin stood and approached, “Come with me.”

And that’s how he took control of her. So much so… she never got to say goodbye to Vidonia.

Elgin suddenly snorted, Tonight. I’ll take you shopping. Now, get out!”
