Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 165

Shela gently stroked her arm and vented, “Elgin threw me into the lion’s den of men, what chance did I stand! To make them disgusted by me and keep their hands off me, I had to slash up my face so bad it would turn their stomachs!”

Her face twisted with fury. Her look could kill Letitia where she stood!

“How did you manage to escape?” Letitia asked.

“Heh, that’s none of your beeswax,” Shela shot back, “Letitia, you’ve wrecked everything for me, and I’m not gonna let you off the hook!”

“You’ve made your bed, now lie in it! Why the hell blame me?!”

“It’s all on you! All your fault!” Shela was losing it, “I know I’m a goner. Elgin won’t let me die, but he’ll make me wish I could! So, I’m gonna drag you down with me!”

“Ha ha ha ha, since Elgin’s so smitten with you, I’m gonna kill you! Make him pine for you for the rest of his miserable life, forever out of his reach! We both die, and he won’t get off easy either!”

“Just you wait, Letitia, I’m about to give Elgin a ring. He’ll come running to save you, and then, in front of his very eyes, I’ll carve up your face, make you uglier than me…After that, I’ll invite a few guys over to… ‘take good care’ of you, let him watch. Finally, I’ll join you in death… ha ha ha, isn’t my plan just perfect?”

Letitia glared at her, “You’ve lost it.”

“Yes! I’ve gone mad, ever since you blew my cover, I’ve been mad! I’ve got nothing left!”

Letitia didn’t argue further. What’s the point in reasoning with someone who’s on a kamikaze mission? She had

to look out for herself.

She couldn’t die, at least… not by Shela’s hand!

She’d survived two grueling years in the psych ward.

She’d survived the early days of marriage to Elgin.

Now, when she’s on the brink of uncovering the truth and rescuing her dad, she can’t just die!

The ceiling hatch stayed open, light streaming in. Shela paced back and forth, occasionally flirting with the

men.

Letitia kept her eyes closed, conserving energy.

But those dirty conversations and voices… were too much to bear.
