Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 168

As soon as those words were uttered, the room fell silent.

Letitia snapped open her eyes, staring straight at Elgin on his knees before her.

Even kneeling, his back was straight as an arrow, his knees caked with dust.

The ground was littered with gravel and dirt… that must’ve hurt like hell.

Trade yourself for her?” Shela echoed, “Elgin, you’d die with me to save Letitia?”

“Yes.”

“You’re cool with dying?”

Elgin replied, “All I want is for Letitia to live well.”

So his death didn’t matter. Letitia living for him was all that mattered.

Shela, mad with jealousy, screamed, “You love her that much regardless of dying for her?!”

Tears blurred Letitia’s vision.

She shook her head fiercely, “Elgin, you don’t have to go to these lengths for me…”

“Letty,” he said, “I wish you a long and prosperous life.”

The most heartfelt declaration of love wasn’t “I love you” or “I’ll marry you,” but “I wish you a good life in this world.”

He wished Letitia a long and prosperous life, even if it meant his death.

Tears mixed with blood from a cut on her cheek, intensifying Letitia’s pain.

But that was nothing compared to the agony in her heart.

Why did Elgin have to be such a paradox… winning her love and hate at the same time?

“Is that a deal, Shela?” Elgin asked, “You let Letitia go, and I’ll be your hostage.”

With that, he started to rise and walk towards her.

“Hold up!” Shela snapped, “You’re a big dude, how am I supposed to keep you under control? You’d knock me out cold as soon as you got close!”

“So, you’re saying you’ll trade?”
