The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 43

Alex

After Tracy left I played with the kids, they kept asking for their mother and why she left home without taking them, my ears almost fell off because they ask of their mother twice every ten minutes.

I got so tired at some point that I wanted to call her, fortunately, she called then telling me she would be home soon, I told the kids but that didn't stop them from asking me where she is.

I started feeling uncomfortable at some point, I called Tracy's number, it kept ringing but she didn't pick, I tried her number a few more times but she didn't pick.

I wanted to think she didn't hear her phone ringing or her phone was on silent, but then I just couldn't, I had a strange feeling that there is more to it and I'm hoping nothing wrong happened.

I was about to try Tracy's number again when James call came in

"Hey man, are you at home?"

"Yeah."

"I'm on my way to your place, I'm about to turn into the estate, I'll send you a picture now and I want you to look at it well before I get there." He said and I can hear the worry in his voice.

He hung up and in no time the picture came in, it was Sam's picture, fear seized me by my throat, I couldn't breathe well, all I could think of is Tracy, my innocent Tracy, why would James send me Sam's picture.

"God, I should have stopped her," I said dropping my phone and burying my face in my hand.

"Huh? Micheal, it is aunty Nora." Michelle said and my hands came off my face very fast

"Where?"

"Here." They said pointing at my phone they were touching Sam's picture.

"What are you saying, angels? Aunty Nora is a lady."

"No, that is Aunty Nora."

"We told him he is a he but he said we must call him aunty Nora."

"What?" I asked and James came in that very minute.

"James!"

"Hi, Micheal and Michelle." He greeted and the kids hugged him.

"So, the picture, do you know that guy?" James asked sitting beside me.

"He is Sam."

"I know."

"He is one of my business partners, Tracy's friend in high school."

"Well, he is the guy that had a crush on your wife."

"I know."

"Well, I remember over three years ago, I sold a house to him, I forgot because it has been over three years, some of my findings of who gave the kids the chocolate led to him because the paper is specially made by a paper company for their company, and now I asked some people and I figured out he is a maniac, tell Tracy to stay away from him."

"James."

"Yes?"

"I'm finished"

"Why?"

"Tracy went to have dinner with him."

"What!, Why?"

"Yesterday he sent Tracy a message that he'd like it if they had dinner together so they can talk about some things, I didn't want her to go but then I didn't want to look like some kind of jealous husband who doesn't want his wife to associate."

"Oh, Lord."

"James, she called me almost fifteen minutes ago that she is on her way home, I've been calling her after that but she is not picking."

"Oh lord, I'm hoping she is not in trouble."

"Watch this, Micheal, Tracy, come please," I said and they came closer.

"Yes, daddy."

"Who is this?" I asked showing them Sam's picture.

"Aunty Nora."

"Okay thank you, you can go and play," I said and they left

"Why are they calling him aunty Nora?"

"Apparently, he went to their school, gave them the chocolate and told them to call him Aunty Nora, and I remember when we followed Tracy to the sprinklers yesterday, they kept telling Tracy that aunty Nora is outside when I was conversing with Sam, and I remember when I mentioned that our kids were in the car, Sam looked scared."

"I don't know why she went to dinner with that guy."

"You know how Tracy is, she actually pitied him, because he likes her and she didn't want to disappoint her friend from school, who apparently comforted her whenever she was bullied."

"Try her number again," James said and I called her number again but she didn't pick.

"We can file a report for a missing person yet it is not you to twenty-four hours yet, but because we have made a report before, we should get a response from them," James said and I nodded.

"Just do me a favor, can you please go alone?"

"Sure."

"We can leave together I'll drop you at the police station."

"I brought my car man."

"Okay, I'll just get the kid's bag."

"What?, Why?" He asked.

"They are going to their Aunt's."

"Wait don't tell me you are planning on going to that guy's house."

"I am, but not alone," I said then I went upstairs, I packed the kid's bag then I went back downstairs, James already helped the kids with their shoes.

"Let's go to Aunty Tiana's," I said and the kids started jubilating.

James left and I drove the kids to their Aunt's, I called Lewis before I got to Cole's place and I was glad to see him there when we got there, Tiana took the kids and their bag inside.

Cole and Lewis were frowning and looked ready to beat me up again but I didn't care.

"Where is our sister?" Lewis asked and I sighed

"That is why I'm here, do you know who is Sam?, He is a friend of Tracy from school who happened to like her."

"Yes, so?"

"Well, Tracy went have dinner with him and she is not back yet, I'm going to his place I want to know if you want to go with me, if you will I'll explain the whole thing to you," I said and they looked at each other.

"You best tell us everything from the very beginning," Cole said and I nodded.
