Chapter 115

Neil’s entrance into her life was like this bouquet of flowers.

He was her ray of light, a savior in her darkest times.

In the evening, Letitia dragged her exhausted body back to Ivory Towers and after freshening up, as per usual, she popped on her headphones.

Shela’s voice came through.

She listened while doodling design drafts with a pencil on paper.

Until Mark’s voice emerged from the headphones, Letitia’s hand with the pencil froze in an instant.

She focused, afraid of missing a single word

The conversation wasn’t long, just half an hour. And it laid bare the whole thing it was a setup, a scheme orchestrated by her and her father Letitia was innocent from start to finish; they had conspired against her!

But more importantly, Letitia latched onto the two key sentences

“Take it step by step. Anyway, she doesn’t know who the father of that child really is.”

“Dad, tell me, if I, a normal person, can barely handle it, hurting for days, then how on earth could a pregnant woman just be okay?”

Yes, Letitia truly didn’t know who the father of the child was, only Mark and Shela knew for sure. But that second sentence, it threw Letitia for a loop

unscathed?

Something was off.

Letitia held her breath, her brain whirring at top speed.
