1 went already, what are you gonna do about it? You think you can touch me now?
Shela started to taunt her on purpose, trying to get Letitia’s blood boiling.
Looking at Shela’s utterly nauseating smirk, Letitia really wanted to slap her face twice over, but she held herself back.
All she could do was grab Shela by the collar and war her, “Listen up, you mess with my parents, you cross the line. If you dare lay a finger on them again. I swear on my life, I will make you pay, whatever the cost!”
The look in Letitia’s eyes was fierce.
She rarely showed such a vicious expression, but Shela really got under her skin
The time Letitia’s dad got scalded, she’s been kicking herself for not protecting him better. She couldn’t let that kind of tragedy happen
a second time!
‘Let go of me. Shela stammered, taken aback by Letitia’s intense reaction, “I didn’t do anything to your mom”
“There’s no way you went to see her for no reason!”
Shela fumbled with Letitia’s grip. “Let go, I can barely breathe”
Letitia glared at her with a ferocity and finally yanked her hand back hard
“With your lack of femininity and your hardened extenor, sneered Susan, “there’s no chance in hell that Mr. Ramirez would be fond of you. You’re just too prickly
“To hell with his fondness, came the quick retort
“Hmph, but deep down you’re better at seducing men than anyone.”
Shela straightened her collar seeing that things were unfolding just as she had hoped, and began to relax.
“Really, I only chatted with your mom, Shela grinned, ‘She’s all concerned about you, asking about your life, your love life. So, I just spilled the beans.”
Letitia’s eyes widened, “What?”
“You heard me. I just told it like it is. Didn’t sugar-coat or rile her up one bit. Whatever your life’s like, I laid it out straight, not a word of a lie.
Letitia clenched her teeth hard.
She’d been working so hard to keep her mom in the dark, so she could rest easy and heal without worry… And now? Shela had wrecked
it all!
No wonder her mom hadn’t called lately, or tried to reach out. Her mom knew the truth.
The people in the world who cared about her most were her parents
Knowing she’s been living such a tough life, depending on others, her mom must be so heartbroken, having countless nightmares, shedding so many tears for her.
“So what’s there to blame me for?” Shela chuckled, “Is honesty a crime now?”
“Shela, you’re downright evil!”
Letitia’s fists clenched so tight her nails dug into her flesh.
“What on earth did I do to you? Letitia stared at her, “Shela, from the get-go you’ve hated me, setting me up. When I was in the asylum, we had no beef! I barely even saw you!”
“Want to know why?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Yes”

Shela replied, “Abort the baby, and I’ll tell you.”
Perplexed, Letitia asked, “Could it be the baby’s father has a score to settle with you?”
“I’m not telling unless you give up that kid!”
Lentia’s hand instinctively covered her belly. Everyone wanted this child dead, except for her
Because she was the mother
Shale slowly approached her with a sinister and venomous grin, ‘Letitia, haven’t you noticed? All your misfortunes started when you go! pregnant. That child is a curse, a burden. Get rid of him, and I promise you’ll live a much happier life!”
Impossible!

“Now I’m carrying Mr. Ramirez’s child. I’m precious What are you?”
Letitia gritted her teeth, saying firmly. “I might be down and out, at the lowest point in my life, but I won’t be like this forever!”
She would get better, slowly but surely, with her own efforts.
And Shela? Once she’s away from Elgin, she’s nothing.
Standing on your own two feet, that’s where true strength lies!
“Ha, look at you now, just like an ant, anyone could step on you,” Shela pressed closer, her voice softening. “Letitia, give up the baby..
A car engine sounded in the distance, growing closer.
Shera knew Elgin’s car was retuming.
Time was up, the show she’d been preparing for was about to begin.
“I will never give up! Never!” Letitia retorted, ‘Just drop the idea, you’re not fit to lecture me!”
“Don’t you want to know who the father is?”
“One day, Ill find out!”
Shela scoffed, “You’ll never find out Come on. Letitia, let’s go to the hospital. These days, medical procedures are quick
She reached out to take Letitia’s hand
Naturally, Letitia wouldn’t let there be any physical contact with her and quickly dodged.
But Shela was persistent, her hand remained extended.
Realizing something was off, Letitia backed away even faster, “Don’t come near me, don’t touch me!”
Yet Shela just smiled, a chilling smile that sent shivers down the spine.
Just then, Shela suddenly lunged forward, nearly stepping on Letitia’s shoes.
Letitia also stepped back instinctively. but then, she missed her footing! Behind her were stairs!
Letitia’s balance shifted backwards, her body uncontrollably tilting back, her arms flailing in the air.
“Whoa, Letitia, watch out,” Shela’s voice sounded as she grabbed her hand. “I’ve got you.”
Letitia sensed danger, but it was too late.
The force of falling backwards was too great, it was beyond her control, and Shela, of all things, insisted on grabbing her hand, which meant…
Letitia pulled Shela with her as they both tumbled down the steps.
“Ahh- A scream pierced the night.
Elgin stepped out of the car just in time to witness the scene unfold.
His pupils dilated involuntarily.
He saw Letitia dragging Shela down with her, both of them rolling down the steps for some time before finally coming to a halt.
“Shela!” Elgin rushed over immediately
On the cold, hard concrete ground, Shela writhed in agony, curling up in pain
Clutching her belly, she screamed, “My baby… my baby..
Blood was pouring out from underneath her, quickly staining the ground red
Her pants, sleeves, they’re all soaked in bright red blood.
Elgin was sprinting over as he shouted, “Shela!”
He raced to her side, dropped to one knee, and scooped her up.
“Mr. Ramirez. Mr. Ramirez. Shela cried out in agony, “My baby, please save the baby, he can’t be hurt…”
Elginis voice was frantic too, Ambulance! Call an ambulance, now!”
This was his unborn child. With so much blood loss, who could tell if the baby would even survive!
