The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex)

Tracy

There is no way my salary would be enough to pay our bill, rent, the children's school fees, and other necessary bills, the money I saved had been used up and I needed to find another job, so I started making enquires for any position at all, I submitted applications letters but only one company looked promising.

It's a new company in town for a different purpose, you can find almost anything there, but then looking promising is not enough, I pray they pick me because if they don't I'd have to go to my family and ask for money.

I don't want to result in that, they've done so much for me including rendering financial support when I was pregnant and when I was moving into the house with my children, I don't want to put my burden on them, that's why I'm praying that the company gives me the job, then I would be able to support myself and my children, probably save up to buy my own place too.

I have decided to move on with my life, I have to admit that I didn't know part of me was still waiting and yearning for Alex, I was waiting for my husband to come back and apologize to me, I was waiting for my husband to come back and declare his undying love to me, like the heroes in the books I read do, they always come back to their love, they always live happily ever after, but then I was wrong, the fact is that I don't have a husband and it took seeing Alex engaged to another woman for me to realize that, Alex coming back is now a fantasy, another woman now hold his affection and there is no hope for us being together again.

I wonder what I did to Alex, I want to know why he had to marry me just to jilt me barely twenty-four hours after, I want to know what I did to deserve all Alex did to me, is it because of my body? Was that what he wanted? Was I below his standard, why would he do that to me?

Different thoughts were running through my head, tears began to fall, I was alone at home since the children were in school already so I didn't bother to clean my tears, I let them fall freely.

What did I do to Alex? Why did he leave me? Am I so despicable? Am I a pushover like I was always told in school? I couldn't just stop thinking.

My phone rang shattering my thought, I cleared my throat then I picked it.
