Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26

“Got it. It’s just…” Letitia said, “I don’t have a dress for it.”

Elgin leaned back, eyes half-closed, eyeing her.

“Letitia, do you remember the first time we met?”

She hesitated, then nodded, “Yeah.”

More like seared into her soul, an unforgettable nightmare, because that marked the start of her living hell. Their first encounter was at AquaCity University, in the dean’s office.

Naive as she was, she walked in only to find Elgin in black. His presence was daunting – devilishly handsome with an air of menace.

“You’re Dr. Sanders daughter?”

“Yes.. yes

“Letitia Sanders?

“Yes

“Good” Elgin stood and approached, “Come with me.”

And that’s how he took control of her. So much so… she never got to say goodbye to Vidonia.

Elgin suddenly snorted, Tonight. I’ll take you shopping. Now, get out!”

He realized Letitia was still the same as when they first met, no big changes. She wasn’t crazy, not numb with despair, like a flower blooming among thorns, even more beautiful.

She shed her schoolgirl innocence for a woman’s allure, curves in all the right places.

Elgin closed his eyes, shaking the mess from his mind.

After work, Letitia sprinted to Elgin’s car, her face flushed with panic, terrified of being seen.

The car stopped at a high-end boutique.

This place catered to VIPS only, with personal designers for measurements, unique styles you wouldn’t find on anyone else

But… everything here was pricey.

So, Letitia hesitated, “Are you sure you want to shop here for me?”

‘Yeah.”

“But…

“You don’t like it here?

Letitia replied, “No. Can you just give me the cash instead?”

Elgin stepped out of the car, stone-faced, “Dream on!”

Once inside, Elgin ditched her with the staff and settled down with a coffee in the lounge

The manager personally took charge, spending an hour to dress Letitia up from head to toe!

As the curtain slowly drew back, Letitia stepped forward, lifting her dress.

“Mr. Ramirez, take a look, the manager said, “She’s stunning…

Elgin looked up, his gaze filled with awe.

Diamonds adorned the her, sparkling brilliantly, refracting dazzling light with every step Letitia took. The off-the-shoulder design showcased her collarbone and slender neck perfectly. Not to mention her waspish waist and those curves

“The dress suits her perfectly, she looks even better than the mannequins, the manager praised, “With such a Captivating face and stunning figure, che’ll be the star of any event!”

Letitia felt uneasy. Her reflection was too ethereal, too gorgeous. She hadn’t seen herself like this in ages, the last time being at her 20th birthday party. Back when she was her parents’ little princess.

Elgin watched her, momentarily forgetting to look away.

The first time he saw Letitia, he knew she was a beauty in the making. Now, she had fully blossomed.

“Will this do?” Letitia asked softly, “What do you think?”

Elgin snapped back to reality, looking back at his magazine, “Ugly.”

“What?!” The manager was baffled.

“Get another outfit! Elgin demanded, Something more subdued”
