Maybe it’s just wishful thinking on her part

“Yeah, the child I’m carrying doesn’t hold a candle to Shela’s precious one,” Letitia responded, “She’s lucky, caught your eye in a heartbeat, living the life of luxury. How could I ever compare?*

Elgin replied nonchalantly. “If you were carrying my child, you’d be living even better than her.”

But how could that ever happen? He hasn’t laid a finger on her, and doesn’t plan to anytime soon

As Elgin walked towards the walk-in closet, he heard Letitia’s whisper-soft voice, murmuring like a mosquito, “What if there was no bad blood between us, would you fall for me?

such a question.

Love? There’s no love between them. It’s all hatred.

He hates her, and she hates him even more. They had been torturing each other without mercy.
