THE CEO AND ME!

Chapter 77 - I PROMISE TO RETURN EVERYTHING BACK TO YOU ONE DAY!!

Tinsley watched him fall asleep on their bed in the late midnight.

She stroked his head as he dozed off peacefully without a hint of worry or disturbances that he had to go through the day.

Her cell phone started to ring and she turned around to check who it was calling her in the middle of the night.

It was none other than Madison and so she stood up to answer it not before bending down to place a chaste kiss on his forehead and walked away.

"Hello, Madison??"

She responded on reaching the adjoining balcony to their bedroom. The cool breeze hitting her face.

"Tinsley....is everything alright??? I have been calling you and Kian like a zillion times now."

Madison's voice blasted out through the phone from the other side. She had been trying to get ahold of both of them. She knew that Kian would be drunk by the time he reached so she wanted to warn Tinsley.

"I m sorry...my phone was in silent mode and well, Kian is sleeping."

Tinsley replied and avoided the talk of the drama that went through between them just an hour ago.

"I m so sorry for everything. I never intended it to happen..."

"You do not have to apologise."

Tinsley stopped her in the midway. It was bound to come out to the public in one way or the other way.

"I do. Both of you might say it I do not but it's my carelessness and recklessness that got you both there...I can't sleep knowing what you must be going through right now and how I wish I could help you both...especially you.

After what you have gone through and now again, these vile people are coming in your way to happiness...both of your happiness..."

Madison was angry at herself and did not know in which way she could correct the mistake of her life.

She was happy to know that Tinsley was finally going to be happy and safe. There was always the guilt that was there day and night since the day she knocked in with Tinsley on the street and the condition she saw her in.

She could not help but believe if she had not pushed Tinsley out of her house...none of these would have happened at all.

"He is not happy..."

Tinsley mumbled, recalling what he told her, straight to her face. His eyes reflecting disgust, distaste and hate for her.

Gone were the looks of adoration, love and protectiveness for her.

"Of course he is not...he just lost everything he ever owned, Tinsley. You need to understand and stand by him...support him in rebuilding his position back in society. "

Madison explained and Tinsley shook her head in positive understanding every word coming out of Madi's mouth.

"You need to be his backbone...you are his wife after all now. "

At that, Tinsley could not help the sob that came out of her. She could not stop the cry when she reminisced how he declared her to be his ill omen.

And to be his wife??? Would he even look her at the same way again??

"What is wrong Tinsley??"

Madison asked, listening to the faint sobs from the other side.

"It's...its nothing really...nothing to be concerned about. "

Tinsley said, rubbing her tears away.

"You need to be strong. I know how hard it is but you need to be strong for the both of you. "

Madison was trying her best to give comfort to her with her words and she had no idea if it was working or not but she was trying hard.

Tinsley sobbed as she could not help it. How could she be strong when she was the reason behind all of his miseries??

How could she act and play his saviour when she was the black crow in his story of life??

"Tinsley??? Are you fine?? Did something happen??"

Madison implored, concerned. Did something happen...bad?? Did Kian do something to her??

"Did he do something??"

"No...no...he can never hurt me. "

Tinsley was quick to defend him. He could never hurt intentionally...even though his words did unknown to him.

"Well...then...I only called for you to start packing your and his clothes...do not take the signature ones...leave all of that behind...just pack the usual ones. "

Madison instructed her and Tinsley followed them one by one. She marched inside the closet to get the clothes ready and packed.

She walked around the room getting their stuff ready to leave early in the morning.

She did not want to see another one of the houses she called home to be robbed off by those cunning officials, taking everything away.

Most of all she did not want him to see that. How heartbreaking and sad that sight was to encounter. She did not want him to witness that.

Once done, she stepped on their bed and slept on it. Her mind was full of thoughts... non-ending...never-ending.

Just when she thought her life was getting better...she had to be so gut-wrenchingly wrong.

She was living in a mess and now she had pulled him into one along with her. How could she ever repay everything back to him??

On this bed, last night, they were so happy and making love. And today he was drunk out of his mind, having lost everything and she was the reason behind it.

Even before they could try and fix this marriage, it was doomed...doomed from the beginning.

She moved closer to his side and out of instinct, he raised his head and hugged her as she did the same, resting his head on her breathing chest.

She leaned forward and kissed on his hair, running her fingers over his hair as he hummed in his sleep.

That made her smile. He looked so boyish and pure at that moment, deprived of all the troubles of the world in his sleep.

"I promise to return everything back to you, one day."

She said, sealing the promise with a kiss.
