The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex)

Chapter Thirty Nine

Alex

When Tracy screamed I felt like my soul leave my body, the kids were startled too and James rushed to

them, leading them upstairs.

The package fell from Tracy's hand and I saw what was in it, it was a dead rat and a paper.

I picked the paper and read what was on it out loud.

"It is going to be deadly." I read then sigh, I looked at Tracy who stood frozen on a spot, I went closer to

her and held her hands, tears fell from her eyes and I pulled her in for a hug.

"She is not going to stop Alex, my children, what if they see this?"

"It's okay, they didn't see it, James took them upstairs," I told her but she was still stiff in my arms, the

tears kept falling making me feel really bad that she saw that.

"I'm scared, I'm scared Alex, I'm scared for you, I'm scared for the kids too." She said still stiff.

"Don't worry, everything would be fine," I said releasing her, then I led her to the sofa where she sat

down, James came downstairs a few minutes later looking worried.

"How is she?" James asked and I shook my head, he brought out his phone and snapped the rat, I

gave him the paper that came with it and he snapped that too.

"Did the kids see this?" I asked and James shook his head

"No, they only heard her scream, they were too busy with their iPad, I told them she screamed because

she was playing a game with you."

"Thank you, did you hear that Tracy? The kids didn't see anything." I said and she nodded.

"Tracy, don't think about it too much, everything would be fine," James said but there was no response

"Um, I should get going, I would drop by the police station and report this, Alex, please take care of her,

I'll talk to the guards before I leave."

"Okay, thanks, man."

"You are welcome."

He left and everything was quiet for a while, I moved closer to Tracy holding her hands again.

"Tracy, listen to me, Don't worry about anything, not because of you and I but because of our kids, they

don't know about what just happened but if they see you like this they'd be very worried so please, try

not to think about it," I said and she nodded

"How about I just leave?, We'd tell the kids I'm on vacation, I'd stay far away, maybe then she'd stop

this and come for me." She said and I glared at her.

"Seriously?, One, there is no way I'm letting you out of my sight, two, what is giving you the assurance

that your leaving would change her mind?."

"I just think it is the best thing to do Alex."

"No, it is the worst thing to do, and no I'm not going to listen to you talk about leaving, maybe you and

the kids should m take an early nap, come let's go." I helped her up and then we went upstairs to the

kid's room where they were playing with their iPad.

"Mummy!, Daddy!"

"My Angels, let's stop playing with the iPad now and take a nap," I said and they nodded.

Tracy slept in between them on the bed and I waited until they fell asleep, it took over thirty minutes but NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

they eventually fell asleep.

I felt stressed so I went to our room to pick my laptop and I went downstairs to work, I did some of the

pending work I had, I read through Tony's feedback and sent him some instructions, I reviewed some

contracts and sorted them, I read feedback from the manager of the branch in Florida too, and I sent

him instructions.

Normally working would relieve my stress because I would be too lost to think about anything else, but

this time it is not working, I couldn't stop thinking about the look of horror on Tracy's face when she saw

what was in the package.

I saved everything I'd done on the laptop, then I shut it down, I dropped it in our room then I went to

check on Tracy and the kids, I was not surprised to see that she was not sleeping, she was sitting at

the edge of the bed, when I came in she raised her head to look at me.

"I couldn't sleep." She said and I nodded.

"Let's go to our room," I said stretching my hands towards her, she took my hand and we went to our

room, I helped her lie down on the bed then I slept beside her hugging her close to me.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"When this whole thing dies down I'll take you and the kids to New York, you'd love my mum and my

sister, they are both amazing."

"You never really told me about them."

"My sister is someone that doesn't really like stress, she does everything my dad wants, she is an

amazing person, also a writer."

"Really? Tiana is a writer too."

"What?, Why don't I know this?"

"Because she doesn't want anyone to know, if I tell you books she wrote you'd be shocked, she is a

very popular writer."

"Wow!, I bet they'd love to meet each other."

"I'm sure too."

"That's my sister, my mum is a pretty and amazing person, she also does what my dad wants but that

is to an extent, she and my dad argue about things but he'd always go back and apologize to her."

"Sounds very cute."

"I know right."

"I'm thinking of telling Tiana to clear the rest of the things in that house, we Are giving most of the

things there out."

"Good idea."

"I'll tell her later, maybe this night."

"Okay then"

"Alex"

"Yes?"

"I'm still scared."

"I know, but don't worry, we'd weather the storm together, nothing bad would happen, even if it does we

would see it through together."

"Thank you, my love."

"Now let's sleep and forget about this whole thing for a while."
