Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

The icy water sent a shiver down Letitia’s spine. What the heck was he doing?

Meanwhile, Elgin, with his other hand, yanked off her clothes, scrubbing her skin clean.

Before long, several red marks appeared on Letitia’s body!

“Elgin! Letitia could no longer contain her rage, and she yelled at him, her face dripping with water, “What the hell are you doing?!”

“Why the hell did you let Walden touch you?” Elgin’s possessiveness was terrifyingly intense.

She belonged to him, and even if he treated her like trash and despised her, no one else could lay a finger on her!

Letitia glared at him with reddened eyes, “I pushed him away, it was just for a second!”

“No matter how brief, it’s not okay!”

Elgin was fiercely rinsing Letitia’s shoulder, as if he wished he could peel off her skin.

At first, Letitia struggled fiercely, but then she just stood there numbly, like a puppet.

She was soaked through, with water dripping from the tips of her hair.

Elgin wasn’t in much better shape himself. Seeing her pale as death, a crazy thought momentarily flashed through his

mind-he wanted her!

“Damn it! Elgin threw down the showerhead and grabbed her chin, leaning down to plant a deep kiss on her!

It was more of a devouring than a kiss. Both of them were drenched, and Letitia was forced to tilt her head back. Anyway, she couldn’t resist.

Her rare compliance only fueled the fire burning inside Elgin. He was about to lose control over himself! Her body had a familiar feeling that he hadn’t felt in a long time!

Suddenly, Letitia, trembling, wrapped her arms around his neck and looked down as she asked, “Elgin… could you give me some money?”

She was really at her wit’s end-she needed to treat her dad’s burns and wanted to bribe some prison guards in the prison to ensure they didn’t give her dad a hard time.

All of this required money.

“Heh, so you’re not feigning resistance this time because you need something from me,” Elgin scoffed, “Letitia, you know I’m not short on cash.”

“Yes, so can you give it to me? Letitia clenched her fists, forcing herself to meet his gaze.

He eyed her lips, “How much?”

“Twenty thousand.”

Letitia didn’t dare to be greedy and ask for too much-ten thousand for treatment, and ten thousand for bribes should be enough.

She needed to deal with this pressing issue first and would figure out the rest later.

This amount was a drop in the bucket for Elgin.

But..

“Why should I give you twenty thousand?”

Letitia bit her lip hard, replying, “Because I’m your wife.”

He flung her off with disgust, “Letitia, get a grip on who you are!”

Any desire Elgin previously had was instantly quashed, and he abruptly turned to leave.

Chapter 16

Letitia’s back was against the tiles as she watched him go, “Elgin, if you don’t give it to me… I’ll go to Walden!”

She deliberately threatened him like this!

Actually, she knew Elgin pretty well.

Letitia knew what ticked him off and how to butter him up… only by getting a handle on his temper could she survive

under his thumb!

Sure enough, Elgin bellowed, “You wouldn’t dare!”

‘People backed into a comer will do anything! Letitia said desperately.

His eyes narrowed in interrogation, “What do you need twenty thousand for?”

“…” Letitia bit her lip. “Thave my reasons.”

She was afraid if Elgin knew she was going to treat her father’s wounds, he would be even less likely to give her the money. After all, he was the one who had sent Shela to do the dirty work!

“Just consider it an advance on my salary, Letitia added, “Later on, I can draw jewelry designs every day to pay off the
