Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 159

“Got a thing for me?” Elgin pressed, “After that one night, in all these days we’ve been together, did your heart ever boat for me?”

She stayed silent.

“If you

don’t answer, I’ll take it as a yes. Take it as… you love me.”

Letitia tugged at the corner of her mouth, squeezing out a smile uglier than tears, “What’s the point of love? You love me and I love you, but does that mean we can be together?”

“I just wanna know your answer.”

If she just said she loved him, then… he’d go through hell or high water for her!

Elgin locked his eyes onto her fiercely, “You’ve fallen for me, Letitia. I don’t buy that your heart’s made of tough stone. You’re trying so hard to protect the kid because you caught feelings for me that night, didn’t you?”

“No!”

“Yes!” Elgin insisted, “You might’ve never said it, but I can tell, you’ve been waiting for the guy from that night to show up, to whisk you away, to give you hope! Well, I’m that guy!”

Letitia answered word for word, “I love the man who was ultra tender to me that night. The man who whispered marriage vows in my ear. A man of his word and a gentleman! Not the Elgin standing before me now, frightening and selfish!”

Those words were like a knife twisting in Elgin with an already battered heart.

“I hate you, Elgin, I’ve said it more than once, how could you think I love you?” Letitia scoffed, “What a joke! Who would fall for their nemesis who ruined their entire life?”

These words hurt Letitia too. But she wanted to hurt him more, ten times more!

Even though she hurt herself a little, she could make him suffer a lot!

Letitia turned and walked away, her figure disappearing at the stairwell.

She bit her lower lip until it bled to keep from bursting into tears.
