Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Letitia was scared out of her wits, her heart practically ready to leap out of her throat. She stretched out her hand in a desperate attempt to grab the pregnancy test result, crumpling it into a ball and clenching it tight in her palm!

Elgin’s lips were pressed against her shoulder, and seeing her sudden movement, suspicion instantly clouded his mind.

He lifted his head, eyeing the wad of paper in her palm

“What’s that in your hand. Elgin demanded icily, “Hand it over!”

“It’s nothing..

“Give it to me!”

When she didn’t comply, Elgin forcefully pried her fingers open one by one.

“You looking to break a bone? he warned her, “Let go!”

As if Letitia could let go! If Elgin found out she was pregnant, it would be curtains for both her and the baby!

That piece of paper was the decider of her and her baby’s fate!

Just as Elgin was about to pry her fingers completely open, Letitia suddenly propped herself up and hooked her arm around his neck, pressing her body tightly against his!

“Letitia, let go!

She didn’t have time to respond; her hand moved behind his back, shoving the pregnancy test into her mouth! She was going to swallow it, wipe the slate clean!

By the time Elgin tried to intervene, it was already too late.

Letitia chewed it a few times and swallowed!

He immediately grabbed her throat, “You sure have a lot of tricks up your sleeve! Spit it out!”

“Can’t spit it out,” Letitia shook her head, “It’s in my stomach now!”

Elgin’s eyes were bloodshot with rage, ‘What was so shady about that paper that you had to hide it like that?

Letitia stayed silent.

“Letitia, I swear I could strangle you!”

She closed her eyes, tilting her head up, “Well, I’m going to end up dead by your hands sooner or later, so go ahead!” Letitia waited in silence, her body trembling slightly with fear, but the anticipated heavy hand never came down on her slender neck

Footsteps sounded, moving quickly away!

Letitia opened her eyes just in time to see Elgin’s figure disappearing at the top of the stairs.

She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling an uncomfortable lump in her throat and her stomach churning. The nausea from the pregnancy and the revulsion of eating the paper surged up together.

Letitia bent over the couch, almost hurling up bile, her mouth bitter.

By the skin of her teeth, she had avoided Elgin discovering her pregnancy!

Just then, Shela walked into the living room entrance. Seeing Letitia in such a sorry state, jealousy nearly drove her Insane. Why should Letitia get to sleep with Elgin?

If only she was the one carrying that baby, wealth and status would be at her fingertips!

Hey, Letitia, Shela sneered as she approached, “What’s up with you…?”

Letitia didrit even bother to look at her, just rinsed her mouth with some water. But Shela, ever the meddler, squatted down beside her. “You wouldn’t be pregnant, would you?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!’ Letitia’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly retorted.

“I was just saying, why so scared?”

Shela chuckled under her breath, glancing around, “Where’s Mr. Ramirez?”

“He’s in the master bedroom.”

Letitia couldn’t wait for Shela to vanish, to stop being such an eyesore.

Shela headed towards the stairs.

At the same time, Letitia got up and headed to the bathroom.

At that moment, a glint of malice flashed through Shela’s eyes.

She couldn’t let Letitia keep the baby. If it were born and looked anything like Mr. Ramirez, her lie would be exposed, and Letitia would be on the fast track to success!
