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.
