Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Elgin scooped her up with his big hands and tossed her into the car like it was nothing.

Cowering in the corner, Letitia panicked. “Who, who are you marrying me off to No, let me out of the car…”

She was a living and breathing person, not some parcel they could pass around.

“I could marry you off to anyone I want.” Elgin pinched her chin. saying icily, “You don’t get a say”

Letitia felt like crying but feared annoying him, so she held back her tears, not daring to let them fall. Catching a glimpse of Letitia’s tear-filled and bright eyes, Elgin felt a momentary softness in his heart.

No, how could he feel pity for his enemy’s daughter? Ridiculous! Elgin’s face looked cold and impassive again as he irritably adjusted his tie.

Suddenly, a pair of soft and pale hands appeared in his cuffs.

“Please, please don’t…” Letitia’s tears splashed onto the back of his hand. “Anything but this. Don’t ruin me like this…”

It was the first time she had begged Elgin, and she didn’t know if it would make any difference.

Her voice eerily reminded Elgin of the woman from the night before.

There was a resemblance! But it couldn’t be Letitia. She had been locked up in the mental hospital and had no way out.

Elgin gently cleaned the tears from his hand. “After two years, I finally hear you back down.”

Then, he said with a cruel smile, “Too bad. It’s pointless.”

Her hands slipped from his sleeve.

His phone started ringing. Phedra, his stepmother, was calling.

“Dear Elgin,” Phedra pretended to care and asked, “I heard you were with a woman at the hotel last night..

Before she could finish, Elgin cut her off, “That’s right. We’re on our way to the city hall now.”

“What. huh? You’re marrying her?”

“Yes.”

Elgin was a master at striking the first blow.

Phedra was trying to plant a spy by his side by sending him women, and he was not about to let her have her way.

Elgin would keep searching for the woman from last night, but he couldn’t let Phedra catch on.

The room was pitch black, and he hadn’t seen her face. So Phedra could easily find someone to impersonate her, and he couldn’t tell.

The best plan for the time was to have Letitia fill in temporarily!

After all, she was bound to him for life, paying for her sins.

After hanging up, Elgin raised an eyebrow slightly. “Listen up, Letitia. The man you’re marrying… is me.”

Marry him? Letitia couldn’t believe her ears.

Yet, judging by his expression, he didn’t appear to be joking at all!

Letitia held the pen but didn’t sign at the city hall.

She had never imagined becoming Mrs. Ramirez. She didn’t belong in that place.

She would stay in the psychiatric hospital rather than stay by Elgin’s side day and night.

The clerk asked suspiciously, “Ms. Sanders, are you doing this of your own free will?”

“Of course.” Elgin embraced her from behind, guiding her hand to sign. “My wife is too excited.”

His broad chest against her back felt seemingly gentle but was forceful!

“Letitia, if this marriage doesn’t go through, I’ll definitely make you suffer!” Elgin warned in a chilling whisper.

Letitia felt like a puppet, manipulated at his will

When the marriage certificate was issued, Elgin took it away. “Don’t get any ideas, Letitia. You’re still nothing.”

She bit her lip. “Is marrying me just another way to torment me?”

“You could say that.” Elgin walked out. “Back to Ivory Towers.”

Ivory Towers was Elgin’s private residence, located in an upscale neighborhood and surrounded by mountains and water, which was the epitome of luxury.

It was like a gilded cage.

Standing in the middle of the living room, Letitia looked out of place in her faded clothes and canvas shoes like an ugly duckling that had stumbled into a castle.

The servants whispered among themselves, “Who is that? Jesus. She’s dressed poorer than us.”

“Shush, Mr. Ramirez brought her here himself.”
