Chapter 18
Letitia couldn’t be bothered to communicate with him, so she just turned her head away.
He had a face sculpted like a Greek god but a mouth that wouldn’t let anyone off the hook!
“Come here, Elgin dropped the line.
She dragged her feet reluctantly to the master bedroom door. Just as Letitia was about to dive under the covers, she felt a tight grip around her waist, and he pinned her against the wall
“I’ve given you twenty grand,” he said hoarsely, “in exchange for fulfilling your wifely duties.”
“You… you can’t be serious?”
“What’s the matter? Took the money and now you’re chickening out, huh?”
Scratching her palm nervously, Letitia shot back, “Elgin, you’re not going to lay a finger on me.”
“Is that so? Let’s see about that. His hand began to wander.
“Elgin.. I am the daughter of your enemy, can you really go through with this?”
As soon as those words were out, the air turned heavy.
This was Letitia’s way to rile him up, just to secure her own safety!
“Yes, thanks for the reminder, Elgin said lowly as he grabbed the back of her head, “but don’t think you can get off that easily!
“I’ll pay you back the twenty grand… someday!”
“Pleasing me, and you won’t owe me a dime.”
Letitia’s eyes widened.
“You don’t have a choice, Elgin stated. “The moment you fell into my hands, you lost your right to choose, got it?”
Of course, Letitia knew what he meant by “pleasing” him.
“Well? Elgin raised an eyebrow impatiently. “You gonna start or what?”
Biting her lip, Letitia suggested, “You could always go to Shela.”
“How could I bear to touch her now, Elgin leaned in, nose to nose with her, “when I’m saving her for the wedding night As for you, I can have my fill whenever I please!”
See, the favored Shela was always confident, while she had no self respect to speak of!
When Elgin said something, he meant it. Tonight, it seemed inevitable for Letitia.
With a heavy heart, she closed her eyes, ready to give in.
Suddenly, she was flung away-
Elgin’s voice boiled with rage, “You actually would, Letitia? How low can you go!”
She hit her back hard against the corner of the bed, which hurt, but she felt a sense of relief.
Good! Elgin was finally fed up with her!
Watching her tremble and blush, Elgin felt his body heat up even more.
He couldn’t keep this up, if he kept playing with her, he’d end up playing himself into a corner!
After all, he was a normal man!
He got into his sports car and called William. “The meds you sent me, do they have side effects?”
“Bolly

William answered, “Mr. Ramirez, those drugs might have a… stimulating effect.”
Elgin scowled, “Why didn’t you warn me earlier?”
“It’s a normal reaction, Mr. Ramirez, and you’re young, at your prime,” William sald. “I suggest you take some time for a check-up at the hospital. Your issue with low sperm count should have improved quite a bit by now.”
Elgin hung up and slammed the gas pedal down, the roar of the sports car as it left Ivory Towers.
At the bar, Elgin was downing one drink after another in the VIP section.
Samson yawned, “You’re a married man, yet you still out drinking this late? Aren’t you worried about your delicate wife getting mad?”
“Shut it”
“Marital spats are short-lived, right?”
Elgin coldly replied. There’s no love between us.”
“Blowing off steam, huh? Samson spread his hands, “I can tell, you can’t hide that look in your eyes. Gin, in this world, love is a thing you can’t hide.
Love? He loved Letitia? Ridiculous!
“You’re talking nonsense, Elgin slammed his glass down, “the divorce papers are signed, once the time comes, we’ll finalize it.
Samson offered a friendly reminder, “You can always tear them up, you know.”
