Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 115

Neil’s entrance into her life was like this bouquet of flowers.

He was her ray of light, a savior in her darkest times.

In the evening, Letitia dragged her exhausted body back to Ivory Towers and after freshening up, as per usual, she popped on her headphones.

Shela’s voice came through.

She listened while doodling design drafts with a pencil on paper.

Until Mark’s voice emerged from the headphones, Letitia’s hand with the pencil froze in an instant.

She focused, afraid of missing a single word

–

The conversation wasn’t long, just half an hour. And it laid bare the whole thing it was a setup, a scheme orchestrated by her and her father Letitia was innocent from start to finish; they had conspired against her!

But more importantly, Letitia latched onto the two key sentences

“Take it step by step. Anyway, she doesn’t know who the father of that child really is.”

“Dad, tell me, if I, a normal person, can barely handle it, hurting for days, then how on earth could a pregnant woman just be okay?”

Yes, Letitia truly didn’t know who the father of the child was, only Mark and Shela knew for sure. But that second sentence, it threw Letitia for a loop

Why did Shela say she was a normal person?

And why mention that after tumbling down the stairs, she was just in pain for a few days, while Letitia, a pregnant woman, seemed

unscathed?

Something was off.

Letitia held her breath, her brain whirring at top speed.

Shela wasn’t a normal person, she was pregnant

Letitia was a pregnant woman, no doubt, and so was Shela

Mark’s main concern was entirely about Shela herself, not a word about the lost child…

Normal person, pregnant woman… Suddenly, it clicked for Letitia, she got it!

Shela was never pregnant! No pregnancy meant no miscarriage! That’s why Shela complained to Mark about the pain and bruises from the fall since those were her biggest injures

The miscarriage was a non-issue! She never even thought about the child or future fertility concerns!

A miscarriage can do a number on a woman’s body. Usually, women need to recover, even having a small confinement. Without proper care, it might become tough to get pregnant again.

But Shela didn’t give a damn!

“I got it, I got it…” Letitia stood up, pumped, “No pregnancy, no miscarriage, it’s all Shela’s ploy, her way to snag Elgin’s heart and hit me where it hurts!”

She yanked off her headphones and bolted out.

The chance to bring Shela down had finally come!

Shela had fabricated a pregnancy and a subsequent miscarriage; this was no trivial matter. It was beyond belief that Elgin would still keep her around! This was deception!

Elgin runs a financial empire, and he hates nothing more than deceit and betrayal!

Shela hit him right where it hurts!

Leuitas grip tightened, and she rushed towards the villa. Turned out, Elgin hadn’t returned.

A magnetic male voice floated down, “In such a hurry to fall into someone’s arms?”

“Elgin” Letitia looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, “You’re back! I was just looking for you!”

Talk about timing

was even about to drive to his office! She couldn’t wait another second to spill the beans!

As he looked into her bright eyes, Elgin’s heart skipped a heat.

Letitia seldom had that look in front of him Expectant, hopeful, vibrant, and beautiful.

Was she this eager to see him? Elgin couldn’t help but cheer up, not even realizing the corners of his mouth were lifting.

Even his voice softened, “You’ve been looking for me?”

“Yeah.” Letitia nodded, “Why so late? Were you burning the midnight oil at the office?”

“Yeah, meetings.”

Letitia tugged at the hem of his clothes, “I’ve got something to tell you, got a minute?”

Hei like this, Elgin was defenseless.

It’s

true deep down, men just can’t resist the whole sweet and cuddly act.

But too much of a good thing can be intoxicating.

Eigin was usually the voice of reason, but even after a momentary daze, he slowly came back to his senses Looking down, he saw her hand on his clothing

“Oops… Sorry.” Letitia withdrew her hand, even smoothing out his clothes on impulse, “I got a bit excited.”

Just thinking about revealing Shela’s deeds in front of Elgin filled her with an unmistakable thrill!

“What’s up?” Elgin walked towards the living room, “You seem thrilled.”

Letitia was genuinely elated, no hiding it.

Following behind him, only when he sat down on the couch did she start, “I stumbled upon a secret. Or rather, I found a way to prove my

Innocence”

Elgin was no fool and quickly surmised, “It’s about Shela?”

“Yes, I didn’t drag her down the stairs, had no intention of hurting her. It was all her own doing! She was framing me!”

“And the evidence?”

“The evidence is on Shela herself.”

Elgin narrowed his eyes slightly, “What do

you mean?”

“I need Shela here, face to face. Letitia enunciated clearly, “She didn’t just set me up, she’s told a whopper of a lie!” Letitia’s voice echoed in the living room. Her expression and tone were so resolute

Elgin met her gaze for a few moments. After a brief silence, he turned to the butler, “Go, call Shela.”

“Right away. Mr. Ramirez”

Letitia’s palms were sweaty as she clenched her fists.

Elgin said nothing more, lounging with crossed legs, toying with a cigarette, unlit.

So her excitement was about revealing Shela’s secret.

He thought that Letitia was looking forward to his return home.

Never mind, wishful thinking on his part

Shela, on the phone, clueless about what was up. “Mr. Ramirez wants me at Ivory Towers?”

‘Yes, Ms. Ward, please come over as soon as possible”

“Did. Mr. Ramirez mention what it’s about?”

“Nope.”

Shela knew that the butler had never been a fan of hers, so there was no point in trying to get any info out of him; she just hung up the

call.

She couldn’t shake off a feeling of unease.

Mr Ramirez had never called her over out of the blue before, without giving any reason.

With her heart pounding Shela arrived at Ivory Towers.

“Mr. Ramirez, you wanted to see me? Missed me, didn’t you?” Despite her nervousness, she managed a smile. “I got your call and carne as fast as I could. What’s up?”

Elgin said coolly, “Take a sest”
