Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Boom! Elgin smashed the phone to smithereens, rage flashing in his eyes. “Go after her, now! She won’t get far!”

Ivory Towers was ablaze with lights that night, buzzing with cars and people coming and going-

Letitia was holed up in a grimy and stinky sewer, barely dodging Elgin’s henchmen hot on her tail.

In the chaos, she bolted down the hill and made a beeline for the prison to see Preston

“Dad…”

“Sweetheart! Thank God’ You’re alive!” Preston was beside himself with joy, tears streaking his face. “I thought you

were…

“Dad, I came to ask you what happened with Marcel’s death?”

“I don’t know The medicine I used was correct! Sweetheart, do you believe me?”

“I do.” Letitia bit her lip hard, nodding her head.

So, someone had framed her dad. She never owed Elgin a thing, let alone any redemption!

“We’ve been set up, but what’s done is done. We can’t do anything to change it now,” Preston sighed deeply. “Sweetheart, you must look out for yourself.”

Letitia, gripping the phone, looked steadfastly through the glass at Preston. “Dad, I’ll find the evidence to clear your name.”

After visiting the prison, Letitia headed to the hospital to see her mom. But before getting to the hospital entrance, she spotted several guards in black suits!

Letitia quickly ducked out of sight.

Elgin had her pegged. He knew she would appear at the hospital and had his guys there waiting early.

If she got nabbed and hauled back, she would be in for a hellish nightmare of torture!

While Letitia was brainstorming how to slip past the bodyguards, the giant electronic screen across the street flickered and switched to AquaCity’s financial news.

Elgin’s handsome mug was front and center.

Standing in front of the office building of Ramirez Group, clad in a black shirt, he was a force to be reckoned with yet looked effortlessly cool, his lips curled in a half-smile and half-smirk.

Beside him, a swarm of reporters bombarding him with questions.

“Mr. Ramirez, is it true that you’re dipping your toes into showbiz?”

“Will the Ramirez Group’s acquisition plans be completed on schedule?”

“Mr. Ramirez, paparazzi snapped pics of you at the city hall yesterday. Were you there to…”

Elgin tilted his chin up, eyeing the camera. “To get married.”

His reply set the scene ablaze. Mr. Ramirez had admitted he was married!

Who was Mrs. Ramirez, snagging the most eligible bachelor in AquaCity and CEO of the Ramirez Group?

The camera zoomed in on Elgin’s eyes, deep as the cosmos, not blinking an inch.

The next second, Elgin’s voice, low and husk “Mrs. Ramirez, if you’re done playing around, it’s time to come home.” His voice sounded indulgently tender, but Letitia knew it was a warning!

The bloodthirsty smirk on his lips sent chills down her spine as if he were standing right there.

Elgin turned and walked away, his bodyguards blocking the reporters.

He wouldn’t have accepted the interview if he hadn’t used the media to send Letitia a message!

Meanwhile, Lotitia saw a few nurses pushing a qurney to an ambulance, preparing to transfer a patient.

It was her mother! Where were they taking her mom?

“Mom! Throwing caution to the wind, Letitia bolted over

She clutched Malinda’s hand

nightly “Mom, I’m so sorry I couldn’t come to see you sooner

But the bodyguards already swarmed around her

“Mrs Ramirez, this is Mr Ramirez’s order. Please don’t interfere”

“I won’t run I go back now! Letitia pleaded desperately. Just give me back my mom.

Yet Letitia could only watch her mother taken away

Elgin knew what her weakness lay He had stung her heart only by a small move.

Half an hour later, Elgin slood by the floor to ceiling window in the CEO’s office with a cigarette unlit between his fingers

“Mr. Ramirez, Mrs. Ramirez is here, Elgin’s assistant Ranen Mitchell knocked at the door.

“Come in.”

Letitia walked in, her face ashen.
