Chapter One


    Tracy


    "Sorry I have to take this." My husband said leaving the bedroom and I watched as the love of my life


    left the room to pick his call.


    I couldn''t have wished for any other person, Alex was one of the best men in the world and I would


    definitely say yes to him over and over again, he is amazing and he make me feel amazing too.


    The perfect gentleman doesn''t exist, but Alex was the perfect definition of one, blue eyes that always


    seem to see all, ck hair that makes me want to run my hand through it all the time, and to top it all


    he was caring, he made me feel like a princess, always pampering me like he had no other thing to do,


    he corrected me whenever I was wrong, but he always did that with love.


    I met Alex two months ago at the Cafe where I used to work. Before I met him I was just an ordinary girl


    trying to prove to my family that I could live without having to rely on them or without them treating me


    like a child.


    I was always a shy girl, through school I was always bullied and my brothers always had to defend me,


    it became an habit, they decided I should not get a job far from home, the only job I got that was close


    to our home was in a Cafe but they didn''t mind, they insisted I take it, and they would take care of the


    rest of my bill, but I wanted to prove them wrong, even though I was not earning much, I wanted to


    show them I could work and use my money wisely without having to rely on them.


    I remember the day I met Alex clearly, it was on a Saturday, I was supposed to be off work but I had to


    swap shifts with one of my co-workers. I remember himing in to ask for atte and the smile he


    shed me when I gave him what he ordered for. I found him beside my car when my shift ended.


    "Hello pretty" he had said


    "Hi" I had replied blushing profusely


    "My name is Alex." He said stretching his hand for a handshake


    "My name is Tracy."


    "I was wondering if you''d like to go get some ice cream when you off."


    "Um.... I don''t know, I''m quite busy" I said guardedly.


    "Come on, I know you are not actually busy, I have to admit I''ve been kind of stalking you, please don''t


    get me wrong I don''t have any bad intentions, just that I like you." He said blushing like ady, I took a


    liking immediately, that was the first time I was noticing him even though he told me he has been


    stalking me.


    We went for more than an ice cream date, we went for more dates than I can remember, I knew almost


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    everything about him, he does business, the only issue then was his family, whenever I asked he


    waved it off or he tells me he is practically an orphan. A month and few days after we met, he asked


    me to marry him, I took him to my family but they refused saying I was too young and they were not


    going to let me marry someone who does not talk about his family.


    I was twenty already and that didn''t sit well with me, I got mad and suggested we elope, Alex was not


    too happy with the idea, and he told me how the idea could affect us, but he sumbed to my will


    eventually. It didn''t take long for him to get us a house in Florida, we nned it carefully and eloped, we


    got married that afternoon and travelled to Florida.


    "I''m done baby." The man I''vee to love and choose said strolling inside, I noticed his phone call


    was quite lengthy but I refused to dwell on it, it''s our wedding night and I was not going to let anything


    ruin it.


    "I see, are you hungry?" I asked trying to get off the bed, but he pulled me back


    "Yes and no." He said looking at me like I was some kind of meal, it was then I realized what he meant


    and as a willingly wife I obliged, at a point he seemed reluctant but I waved it off as him being careful


    since it was my first time.


    I woke up the next morning and stretched my hand to my husband''s side of the bed, but he was not


    there, I stood up from the bed trying to get over the soreness I felt all over, I checked the bathroom but


    he was not there, then I went to the sitting room where I found some bills on the table and a neatly


    folded paper on top.


    Fear gripped me and I prayed it was not what I was thinking, I unfolded the paper and read it over and


    over again, but it didn''t change like I prayed it would.


    Dear Tracy


    Trust me, I had to leave for our own good, I''d be back my love and I pray you''d understand that this is


    so important that I have to leave, believe me, I love you too much to tamper with your heart.


    There is an amount of 5000 dors and beside is an ATM card whose code is 1306, there is an amount


    of a million dors in the ount, I''d be back soon and once I''m back there would be no one that can


    separate us.


    I love you


    Alex.


    I crumbled to the floor allowing the tears to fall, reality came crashing down on me like a building with


    no solid foundation, what my family warned me about was what actually happened. Our marriage


    wasn''t even up to 24 hours and I was already left with no one to console me as I cried my eyes out.


    I waited for my husband''s return for hours, hours turned into days and days turned into weeks, A month


    <pter, I found out I was with child.
