Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Shela zoned out for a while, then finally resorted to crying a river to Elgin, “Mr. Ramirez, I-I messed up… Please forgive me, I swear! won’t make the same mistake again, pleasel”

Too bad, her tears didn’t do squat with Elgin. He wasn’t buying that act.

Shela had cried too many times and he was sick of it

Elgin stood there, stone-cold, not a shred of emotion on his face.

“Shela, I’ve turned a blind eye to your shenanigans before, let you run wild. But you crossed the line, big time”

“Mr. Ramirez, no, please don’t kick me out.”

“Haven’t I been good enough to you?” he asked, “You dare fake your miscarriage today, who knows what crazy thing you’ll do next time!” Shela shook her head frantically, saying, “I won’t dare, I really won’t ever again. Mr. Ramirez, do you remember when you found me, you said you’d been looking for me for so long.”

Elgin’s face was unreadable, “If I didn’t have a heart, you wouldn’t be standing here crying your eyes out!”

Those who deceived him never ended well!

Letitia stood by the perfect spectator.

Shela had dug her own grave

It was up to Elgin to decide her fate complete disappointment or a sliver of mercy.

Of course, Letitia wished Shela would just vanish for good. But there seemed to be a secret between Elgin and Shela that she wasn’t privy to

Either way, Shela was down and out for the count this time, wouldn’t dare cause trouble anytime soon.

“Butler Elgin bellowed, “Get Shela out of here!”

“Right away, Mr. Ramirez.”

The butler summoned two security guys, they grabbed Shela by the arms, left and right, and dragged her out as she screamed her lungs

out

Shela kept wailing, heartbreakingly so, “I won’t go, I want to stay. Mr. Ramirez, I truly realize my mistake, just give me a chance… Mr. Ramirez!

Elgin turned his back, clasped his hands behind him, looked up slightly, eyes closed.

Until Shela’s voice faded into nothingness, he remained still, a statue in the quiet room.

What just happened seemed like it never did.

“You’ll forgive her, won’t you,” Letitia said, “after all, you have a thing for her.”

Elgin’s adam’s apple bobbed. “Where did you get the idea I like her? Did I ever say that?”

“If you didn’t like her, why marry her? Why put up with her?” Letitia couldn’t help but wonder, “Did Shela save your life or something? Are you repaying a debt?”

He glanced at her sideways, brows furrowed, “You’re the enemy’s daughter, and I married you, didn’t I?”

“You said it was a form of atonement, not a joyride.”

“Hmm, glad you remember.”

Letitia shrugged, “After marrying you, I’ve paid too high a price. I can’t forget, and can’t afford to forget, gotta keep myself on my toes.”

Elgin slowly faced her, eyes meeting hers, “Letitia, with Shela, it’s just obligation, it has nothing to do with feelings”

Even if he kept reminiscing about that one night, it was just his own memory.

Shete could never bring back the feel of that night.

“Obligation? She really did save your life, huh?”

“Something like that”

Letizia was more confused What’s that even mean? What really happened between them?
