Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Letitia finally yanked the car door open and plopped herself down inside.

“Are you hurt?” asked Elgin.

She shook her head.

“Not bad. Elgin snorted with a hint of derision, “You know how to watch out for yourself.”

“It was a close one. As Letitia spoke, she instinctively reached to touch her lower abdomen.

But then, remembering Elgin was right beside her, her hand froze mid-air.

“Let’s put an end to this, he warned, “Don’t even think about starting trouble with Shela.”

“You think too highly of me. Do I look like I have the guts for that?”

Shela was the apple of his eye, the woman he had promised to marry. How could she ever compete? She was always on the losing end

“But, Letitia said, you always hate it when others mess with your stuff. And I, am one of your belongings.”

“Shela is different

“Because you love her, right?

Elgin didn’t answer. Love? Didn’t seem like it. It was more a matter of responsibility.

Letitia’s lips curled into a self-mocking smile, “What can I do? Do I even have the right to ask?”

She knew her place, how could she dare to wish for more?

Suddenly, her chin throbbed as Elgin’s fingers pinched her hard, “Stop being such a sucker in front of me. Even if Shela did something to you today, you’re gonna take it!”

He had already taken her side, sending Shela home to reflect. And she still wasn’t grateful? Throwing tantrums at him? Elgin felt even more irritable!

“Got it, Letitia responded softly.

Only then did he let go and closed his eyes to rest.

But Elgin couldn’t sleep a wink, his mind in turmoil, temples throbbing.
