Chapter 184

“You can’t escape from me, Letty.”

She closed her eyes and lifted her hands to embrace him back, with her hands resting on his back.

Elgin shuddered all over, then hugged her even tighter. She was responding to him, and he was over the moon

about it.

But…

“Elgin, do you know,” Letitia whispered in his ear, “the one thing I want to do is to bolt from you, the farther the

better.”

His heart instantly ached dully, and even breathing seemed to tear him apart.

“Why did you have to find me? I finally got away with Hawley’s help, and here you are, showing up so soon… You don’t need your hand anymore? Do you want to become disabled? Elgin, how could a disabled man ever be good enough for me? I’d look down on you.

Don’t think that just because you risked your life to save me and wrecked an arm for me, I’ll be eternally grateful and fall madly in love with you… Wrong, you’ve hurt me way more than you’ve ever done good for me!”

Every word from Letitia was like a sharp blade, stabbing Elgin mercilessly.

His breathing became rapid as he suppressed a surge of anger.

“Letty, stop it…”

“No, I’m going to speak my mind.” Letitia continued, “When Shela took me hostage, you knelt for me and traded yourself for me, even wrecked your arm. Honestly, I was touched, but that’s all it was. Elgin, I don’t love you. Why can’t you face that reality?

That night at the hotel, if I had known it was you, I would have been disgusted, I would have chosen to get rid of the baby myself. I don’t want… I don’t want to have your children.”

The taste of blood surged in Elgin’s throat, a bitter reminder of Letitia’s effortless cruelty. Each of her words, a vicious torture, echoed loud and clear in his mind.

Elgin had a major fallout with Hawley to find Letitia, busted out of the hospital, hopped on a private jet overnight, and hadn’t slept for nearly 24 hours just to see her.

He came and wanted to take her back, but her words were the ones that cut him the deepest!

“Elgin, let me go,” Letitia looked at him, “okay?”

He flatly refused, “No way.”
