Chapter 125

If Elgin could just do it, she’d stick by his side like a good girl, ’cause she didn’t really have any other option. But no, he wouldn’t agree. He just had to wreck a living, breathing life!

“No man can stand it, knowing his wife is carrying someone else’s bastard!” Elgin roared, “And that goes double for me!”

He’s the unrivalled head of the business empire in AquaCity, always holding the reins of power and never succumbing to anyone.

“You keep calling my baby a bastard… Letitia closed her eyes as tears streamed down her cheeks, “but did you ever stop to think, Elgin, that I knew that man before I even met you?”

Letitia pulled his head down, whispering in his ear, “Elgin… doing this, you’re just making me hate you even more.”

“Hate me, then, Elgin shot back, “talk of love between us is just a big joke anyway.”

He tried to pry her hands off, but Letitia wouldn’t let go, gripping his shoulders for dear life.
