The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 3

Tracy

"Hey!, Tracy, why the rush?" Martin asked and I sent a little prayer for patience to God

"Hello Martin." I said flashing him a smile

"Hello Uncle Martin" my children said sending him a smile

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" He asked and I sighed, telling him no would be rude, but then I didn't actually want to talk to him. Martin was just someone I know from church, last year he decided he is the only one who can tolerate my state enough to court and marry me, which doesn't sit well with me.

"Sure." I answered anyway, hoping it won't take too long

"Michelle, Micheal would you stay in the car while I talk to uncle Martin?" I asked and they nodded moving into the car.

"How are you doing?" He asked, looking at my face like there was some kind of gem on it

"I'm fine thank you."

"How is everything?, I've not seen you in a while, and you left before I could talk to you on Sunday."

"Yes, I was busy." I replied getting tired of the talk already.

"Um so, Tracy, I want to ask if you've considered my proposal." He said putting his hand in his pocket

"I have."

"And?" He asked, no mistaking the hope in his eyes, unfortunately, the hope was overshadowed by pride.

"Like I said Martin, I'm not interested, not interested at all and In case you don't know, I'm still a married woman." Well until Alex comes back and we prepare and sign the divorce papers.

"Tracy, please, stop it, you are as good as not married, almost six years ago you came back pregnant, but without a man, how am I supposed to believe you are married?, look here, I don't mind if you made a mistake and gave birth out of wedlock, I don't mind I'd take you like that." He said and heaven knew if my temper was fire, right there Martin would have been burnt to ashes, he clearly didn't believe I was married before I got pregnant with the twin, I was really pissed but then I was paying the price for eloping.

"Martin!, how dare you say I made a mistake, even if I made a mistake it is definitely not my children's birth and news flash I'm actually still married." I said then got into my car, he was trying to apologise but I didn't want him to, Martin was partly right and like they say, the truth is bitter, his apology would only make me feel bad.

"Children let's go to your uncle's." I said and my children started jubilating, I felt a little guilty that we are going there not because I want them to see their uncle but because I needed company.
