Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 54

The emerald bracelet shimmered with a juicy luster in the bright light.

I’m giving you one last shot, Elgin said coolly, “Letitia, just agree to the abortion, and both the emerald bracelet and the meds will go to your mom.”

He was already being pretty damn generous, by his standards.

Nobody gets to push him around like this, not a chance. But for Letitia, he had compromised this far.

Elgin added, “Letitia, don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Is Walden’s bastard more important to you than your mother’s illness?”

He was dead sure the kid was Walden’s. No matter how much Letitia denied it, he just wouldn’t buy it.

“Why do you have to push me like this…”

“You should be grateful you even have the opportunity to be pushed by me.”

Others don’t get that from Elgin. He’d just cut them off, no second chances, not even a chance to see him! Letitia was already way luckier than most, just inches away from sharing his bed!

The room fell into a heavy silence, so profound that one could have heard a pin drop.

Letitia shook uncontrollably. Her legs turned to jelly, she almost couldn’t stand, “Elgin…

“Which is it gonna be?”

Letitia was at a loss for words. He was cornering her, pushing her to the brink.

Finally, Elgin’s patience ran out

“Time’s up, he stood up. “you don’t need to answer me anymore.”

Letitia could only watch in silence as Elgin slowly approached, lifting the emerald bracelet in his hand. Right in front of Letitia, he let go. The moment the emerald bracelet fell, Letitia’s pupils dilated in shock, “Elgin! No!”

She scrambled to catch it, but it was too late. The emerald bracelet plunged straight past her, crashing onto the cold marble floor.
