The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex)

Chapter Thirty Two

Tracy

I didn't mean to eavesdrop on James and Alex's conversation, but I heard them, James gave Alex

something and there was silence for a while.

"It is a letter from my mum," Alex said his voice already different

"What does it say?"

"My Dad, he is coming here."

"What?, What are you going to do? Are you going to take Tracy and the kids away from here?" James

asked his voice laced with concern.

"No, I know my dad, he won't do anything to them, he might try to convince me to go back to New York

but he won't do anything."

"How sure are you?, Why don't you just take them on a vacation?." James asked Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Trust me, James, he can't do anything to them, I made sure of that before I left New York," Alex said

and there was silence for a whilea again.

"If you insist, I'll strengthen the security instead," James replied

Maybe my father-in-law is a cruel person, why would he coming to Philadelphia cause Alex to worry? I

couldn't continue to listen in on their conversation so I concentrated on the kids, James left an hour

later and I went back to the sitting room.

I was not expecting Alex to tell me about his father coming, but he did, he told me to get ready that his

father might come at any time.

The rest of the day was uneventful, I cooked a simple dinner and we all ate before going to bed.

I woke up early the next morning to prepare the kids for school, I realized I had a message and when I

checked I knew for sure who sent it.

'You embarrassed me in front of who I love, I feel like you've forgotten how it is, don't worry, I promise

to make your life hell, I promise to make you regret every single thing you said to me, and I promise to

make sure you don't forget everything I do you.'

It was a message from Nora, and that message ruined my morning before it even started, I made

breakfast and we all ate.

"Please pass me the butter," Alex said and I passed it.

"Tracy?"

"Yes?"

"Are you okay?"

"Of course," I said but he kept staring at me.

"What?"

"I said pass me the butter."

"Yeah and I...." I was trying to defend myself then I realized I passed him the juice instead.

"Oh, I'm sorry, here," I said passing him the butter.

"Are you sure you are okay?" He asked looking concerned.

"Yeah."

"I think you are tired how about you let me take the kids to school today?"

"Don't worry, I have to go to our former place to pack the remaining things there."

"Okay just, take care of yourself."

"Yeah, thank you."

We finished breakfast and I took the kids to school, I dropped by Cole's house to pick Tiana then I

drove to my former house.

We were packing and sorting the things in the house but Tiana must have noticed how gloomy I was.

"What's wrong Tracy?"

"Huh?"

"I mean you don't look yourself, neither are you acting how you normally do."

"Yeah, I know."

"So tell me, what's wrong?, If you don't want to tell me what is wrong now, you can tell me later."

"I'd rather tell you now before things escalate."

"So tell me, what is wrong?"

"Nora is back."

"Ah!, Tell me, what did she do? Did she try to bully you?, Tell me did she hit you again?" She asked and

I chuckled, Tiana is as overprotective as my brothers.

"Calm down, a lot is going on right now."

"Okay, tell me, I have time."

"Well, Remember that lady on the front page of the magazine with Alex.?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Well, that is Nora."

"What? no way, that looks nothing like her."

"Well, I didn't believe it at first too, she got plastic surgery done."

"Oh wow, now this is complicated."

"I know right? Well, she came yesterday and said she fell in love with Alex, Alex rejected her and she

tried to bully me but I stood up for myself."

"That's right, you showed her who is boss."

"Well, I kinda did and now I'm in big trouble!."

"What did you mean?" She asked and I gave her my phone so that she could read the message I got

from Nora this morning.

"Wow, that lady is a crazy spoilt brat and we both know what she can do."

"Yeah, I know right? I should have kept quiet."

"No, you did the right thing, have you told your husband about the message?"

"No."

"Why?!"

"I don't know, I just didn't."

"Girl, you best go home and tell your husband everything."

"You think I should?"

"Girl, I know you should."

"Okay, then I'd talk to him when I get home."

"Good, now I want you right relax, don't worry about the message, we would know what to do about it

later." She said and I hugged her.

"Thank you, Rose, I'm lucky to have you as my sister-in-law."

"Oh, you know I'm lucky to have you as my sister-in-law." She said

We packed what we could and sorted what we could but we could not finish everything because we

were both getting tired, we both talked about the book I lent her, then I dropped her at her place after

we both decided to meet up tomorrow again to finish packing and sorting everything in the house.

I drove around too nervous to go home or visit anyone, I kept driving from one place to another until it

was time to pick the kids from school.

I picked them up and on our way home Micheal and Michelle brought something out from their bag, it

was a box.

"What is that?" I asked wondering where they got it from

"Aunty Nora gave us," Michelle said making my eyes widen, my heart stopped beating for a

minute.
