The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 5

Alex

"You can't do this Alex, he is going to disown you." my sister said trying to convince me not to leave.

"Lydia, at this point I don't care anymore, we had a deal and he didn't keep his own end of the deal, I'm done, he can have everything." I said stuffing more cloth into my bag.

"You know what he can do right?" She asked looking at me with concern.

"Yes I do, I also know what I can do." I replied not bothered.

"What about Nora, you are engaged to her already, Dad would be furious." Lydia said putting down the cardboard box.

"If he cares about Nora that much then he should marry her, I'm a married man, I am legally married and I can't marry someone else, I love my wife and I don't care about his threats anymore." I told her then I continued to pack my things.

The last six years has not been easy on me, leaving Tracy was not easy for me at all, but when my father called on our wedding day and started threatening to hurt her and her family, I couldn't help but do what I thought was right, I went back to my father.

He promised to let me go back to Tracy once his company becomes the number one best company in New York as far I don't reach her or communicate with her, I knew my father and what he could do, he was a very ruthless person and he could do anything to Tracy, so all I could do was accept his condition.

Heaven knew I worked hard, it took me three years to achieve that, three years of working non stop, three years of working on contracts, three years of full dedication three years of hiding from the media, three years of not communicating with my wife, I almost went crazy.The only thing that got me going was my wife.

Unfortunately for me my father didn't keep his promise, he came up with another excuse, he told me to make sure the company stays number one then he would stay away from Tracy and her family, then he would let us be together, I gave up trying not to reach Tracy then, I sent her letters because I knew my dad was monitoring my phone calls and movement, I sent her 2 letters every month and I told her not to reply.

It has been another three years, the company is still the number one company in New York, but then my father is still not keeping his promise, instead he made me announce a fake engagement with another business tycoon's daughter.

I've realized my father is not planning to let me go anytime soon, he is still the same cold and selfish man I've known since I was young, I started processing legal documents that would protect my wife and her family to an extent, with the help of my trusted friend I have the documents already.

Few months ago I established a company in Florida, with another branch in my wife's town, I've decided to take her back to her town once I get back to Florida, I felt bad about eloping and I was determined to do things right this time around.

"Where is that ungrateful brat?!" My father said from the sitting room, he barged into my bedroom in no time.

"How dare you?"

"Good afternoon to you too Dad" I said, my sister moving closer to me.
