The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 2~ A substitute

Tessa wiped her tears and rushed to the bathroom. She refused to accept that Aaron took a sudden turn in their relationship and decided to fire her.

Everything was going well, or so she thought. He was kind to her during the day at the office and later in the night, he wouldn’t let her go until her legs began to shake.

She failed to believe someone who was so passionate in bed didn’t love her. Besides, he was her first. She wasn’t willing to give up that easily.

Perhaps he had heard some rumours or thought she did something and that made him break up with her.

Tessa was madly in love with Aaron. She would go to any lengths to make things right. After showering, she picked up her phone and tried to call him but the call went unanswered.

As her heart continued to sink into her stomach, she typed in a message.

[Aaron, I’m sorry if there’s anything I’ve done to upset you. I love you so much. I don’t think I can live without you. Please hear me out. I’ll be coming to the office to return the cheques you left. In case you thought I was with you because of the money, that’s not true. I’m not that type of woman. I may come from a poor family but I believe in working hard. This is the reason I pushed myself to work harder than everyone else because I want to depend on myself. I love you genuinely and I’m willing to prove that to you. I hope you can give me another chance.]

She sent the text and waited until it showed that it had been delivered. But even after waiting for ten minutes, there was no reply from Aaron.

Tessa swallowed the stubborn lump in her throat and grabbed the cheques before walking out of her apartment. If he didn’t want to answer her calls, then she would see him physically.

Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes on her way but she blinked them back. It’s not over till it’s over.

When she arrived at the company, Tessa immediately rushed towards the elevator and went up to the CEO’s office on the topmost floor.

What she didn’t know was people were staring at her and whispering to each other. She was more focussed on meeting Aaron and begging him to take back his words.

She had just passed the assistant’s office when a voice made her stop in her tracks.

“Tessa, the CEO is not yet in.”

Tessa whipped around and forced a smile at the young woman who was standing by the door to the assistants’ office.

It was none other than Nora Miller, the junior assistant and her subordinate.

Tessa frowned. “Where is he?”

It was strange for a workaholic like Aaron to not be in the office at 10:00 am. She thought he had come straight to the company after he dropped that bomb on her.

She was about to go look for him but she realised she didn’t know where he stayed. They mostly spent nights at the apartment he gave her. She had never been to his real home.
