Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Letitia Sanders was eyeballing a meaty bone before a stay mutt in the filthy and messy backyard at the AquaCity Psychiatric Institute.

She had gone three days without so much as a crumb to eat. If this continued she’d be at risk of starving It was getting to the point where she’d have to grapple with the dog just for a bite to eat

Since Elgin Ramirez chucked her into this madhouse two years ago, Letitia’s daily gund had been about staying alive.

The Ramirez farmily, the big shots of AquaCity with Elgin as the heir His word was the final soy pretty much controlling the pulse of the city

Letitia could still remember how Elgin had gripped her throat like he was trying to choke the life out of her, his eyes filled with venom. “You’re going to suffer every single day You’ll be begging for the relief of death, but it’s not going to come You’re going to pay off your family’s debt to me!

The more miserable her life was, the more Elgin seemed to get his kicks.

Two years back. Elgin’s father, Marcel Ramirez, had a car wreck and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

The doctor on call was Preston Sanders, Letitia’s dad Something went wrong during the emergency operation, and Preston messed up with the medications, leading to Marcel bleeding out.

The cops got involved and pinned the blame on Preston for cutting comers. He got slapped with a life sentence

When Malinda, Letitia’s mom, got wind of the news, she had a stroke that turned her into a vegetable.

From that day on, Letitia’s world had turned upside down

She didn’t buy that her dad could’ve done such a thing, but her pleas fell on deaf

With just a flick of Elgin’s wrist, Letitia was tossed into the mental hospital like yesterday’s trash, and he made sure nobody gave a damn whether she lived or died.

Since then, her life had been worse than a stray dog’s. But she swore she’d cling to life Her folks were still out there waiting for her. Only by staying alive did she stand a chance!

Suddenly, the sound of a lock turning snapped her out of her thoughts

“Letitia Sanders, someone’s here to pick you up the head of the mental hospital announced

Letitia froze. “Who?”

After her dad got locked up, her friends and relatives scattered like roaches. Who would come for her?

“You’ll see when you meet them.”

Letitia never thought she could get out of this hellhole. Without Elgin’s say so, who would dare spring her?

With jitters and hope, Letitia stepped out of the mental hospital, only to be greeted by a van pulling up in front of her.

Before she could get a good look at who was inside, a couple of burly guys leaped out, threw a black sack over her head, and snatched her up!

“Help…” Before she could scream, a heavy blow to her neck sent her into darkness

When Letitia woke up, she found herself tied to a bed in a hotel room, unable to move a muscle.

What the heck was going on? Where was she? The last thing she remembered before blacking out gave her a bad feeling

A bold and chunky old guy in front of her was rubbing his hands with glee. “Such an innocent young thing. I can’t wait anymore!”

Crap! Letitia realized she had been fooled!

No one had come to get her. The director had given her to this old creep!

“Stay away…” Letitia clenched her teeth. “Back off!”

“Pamper me, and I’ll make it worth your while…”

As the old man lunged at her with a lecherous grin, Letitia thought fast and retreated, shouting, “Wait!”

“What’s up?”

Letitia forced a giggle. “Easy there, my lord. How about you untie me first, then we can have some real fun…”

“Alright then. It’s not like you can make a break for it.”

The moment the ropes were loose, Letitia kicked him in the balls and bolted as he howled in pain.

“Grab her!”

She could hear footsteps chasing after her. If they caught her, she’d be toast!

Panicking. Letitia spotted a door ajar, dashed in, and slammed it shut.

As she was gasping for air, a man’s arm with distinct knuckles suddenly wrapped around her waist.

“A woman? A husky male voice pierced the dark

Letitia felt his burning hot body and frantically asked, “Who are you? What do you want?”

To get rid of this drug in me with you. Without another word, he hoisted her up and dumped her on the bed

Letitia couldn’t see the man’s face, but his familiar scent made her think of Elgin.

No, it couldn’t be Elgin!

“Don’t! Please let go!” Letitia struggled, her voice tearful. “Don’t… I’m not that kind of girl…”

The man whispered in her ear, “I’ll marry you.”

He silenced her protests with his fervent kisses.

By dawn, the man was sound asleep.

Letitia, aching all over, had thought she could escape unscathed. Instead, she lost her virginity.
