The CEO's Return

Tracy "Sorry I have to take this." My husband said leaving the bedroom and I watched as the love of my life left the room to pick his call. I couldn't have wished for any other person, Alex was one of the best men in the world and I would definitely say yes to him over and over again, he is amazing and he make me feel amazing too.

The perfect gentleman doesn't exist, but Alex was the perfect definition of one, blue eyes that always seem to see all, black hair that makes me want to run my hand through it all the time, and to top it all he was caring, he made me feel like a princess, always pampering me like he had no other thing to do, he corrected me whenever I was wrong, but he always did that with love. I met Alex two months ago at the Cafe where I used to work. Before I met him I was just an ordinary girl trying to prove to my family that I could live without having to rely on them or without them treating me like a child. I was always a shy girl, through school I was always bullied and my brothers always had to defend me, it became an habit, they decided I should not get a job far from home, the only job I got that was close to our home was in a Cafe but they didn't mind, they insisted I take it, and they would take care of the rest of my bill, but I wanted to prove them wrong, even though I was not earning much, I wanted to show them I could work and use my money wisely without having to rely on them. I remember the day I met Alex clearly, it was on a Saturday, I was supposed to be off work but I had to swap shifts with one of my co-workers. I remember him coming in to ask for a latte and the smile he flashed me when I gave him what he ordered for. I found him beside my car when my shift ended. "Hello pretty" he had said "Hi" I had replied blushing profusely "My name is Alex." He said stretching his hand for a handshake "My name is Tracy." "I was wondering if you'd like to go get some ice cream when you off." "Um.... I don't know, I'm quite busy" I said guardedly. "Come on, I know you are not actually busy, I have to admit I've been kind of stalking you, please don't get me wrong I don't have any bad intentions, just that I like you." He said blushing like a lady, I took a liking immediately, that was the first time I was noticing him even though he told me he has been stalking me. We went for more than an ice cream date, we went for more dates than I can remember, I knew almost everything about him, he does business, the only issue then was his family, whenever I asked he waved it off or he tells me he is practically an orphan. A month and few days after we met, he asked me to marry him, I took him to my family but they refused saying I was too young and they were not going to let me marry someone who does not talk about his family. I was twenty already and that didn't sit well with me, I got mad and suggested we elope, Alex was not too happy with the idea, and he told me how the idea could affect us, but he succumbed to my will eventually. It didn't take long for him to get us a house in Florida, we planned it carefully and eloped, we got married that afternoon and travelled to Florida. "I'm done baby." The man I've come to love and choose said strolling inside, I noticed his phone call was quite lengthy but I refused to dwell on it, it's our wedding night and I was not going to let anything ruin it. "I see, are you hungry?" I asked trying to get off the bed, but he pulled me back "Yes and no." He said looking at me like I was some kind of meal, it was then I realized what he meant and as a willingly wife I obliged, at a point he seemed reluctant but I waved it off as him being careful since it was my first time. I woke up the next morning and stretched my hand to my husband's side of the bed, but he was not there, I stood up from the bed trying to get over the soreness I felt all over, I checked the bathroom but he was not there, then I went to the sitting room where I found some bills on the table and a neatly folded paper on top. Fear gripped me and I prayed it was not what I was thinking, I unfolded the paper and read it over and over again, but it didn't change like I prayed it would. Dear Tracy Trust me, I had to leave for our own good, I'd be back my love and I pray you'd understand that this is so important that I have to leave, believe me, I love you too much to tamper with your heart. There is an amount of 5000 dollars and beside is an ATM card whose code is 1306, there is an amount of a million dollars in the account, I'd be back soon and once I'm back there would be no one that can separate us. I love you Alex. I crumbled to the floor allowing the tears to fall, reality came crashing down on me like a building with no solid foundation, what my family warned me about was what actually happened. Our marriage wasn't even up to 24 hours and I was already left with no one to console me as I cried my eyes out. I waited for my husband's return for hours, hours turned into days and days turned into weeks, A month later, I found out I was with child.
