I’m Divorcing with You Mr Billionaire! (Sydney and Mark)

Chapter 113

Chapter 113 Chapter one hundred and thirteen

Mark’s POV

I looked up from the man speaking when the door opened and my assistant quickly walked in, his quick strides quickly diminishing the space between us.

There was an apologetic look on his face and might I say, also a happy one.

What exactly was making him happy? I thought, irritated. Another business deal? Another aliance of merger?

He apologized to me then to the members of the meeting then he lowered himself till we were the same height since I remained seated. He tapped on the screen of the phone he held up.

After Sydney left for Italy in search of her lover boy, my life had been nothing but work and taking care of Aiden. I threw myself more into work not just because she wasn’t around but because she once again left for another man.

Alden was the only cute, adorable and concise remainder of her and so I made as much time as I could for him especially since Grace was always busy

these days

But since she went missing, even little Aiden could tell that something had changed. I no longer smiled. I always tried for Aiden but I just couldn’t and whenever I forced myself, I always ended up scaring Aiden with the smile which always brought tears to his eyes so I just stopped

I became so cold that apart from Aiden and Grace who had no choice, no one wanted to approach me or be around me for more than a couple of

minutes. It was so unfortunate that the people I worked with had to suffer through a business meeting, talk or instructions with me all the time.

The suspicion rose when we couldn’t reach Sydney after a month in Italy. Grace and I decided to wall a month more before we filed a missing person

report – that month was the longest month I’ve ever lived through.

A month came then another and it was official, Sydney was either deceased or missing but I strongly held onto the latter and believed that she would be

found

Now back to my assistant. For him to have the guts to interrupt my meeting for a phone call then his reasoning facility was either faulty or the call was

invaluable.

I signaled for him to go on.

“Mr Mark,” he started, “I just received a call from the embassy in Italy”

My ears perked up and I quickly sat up not minding who was watching

“They said miss Sydney has been found and will shortly be on a fight back.” His voice trembled with excitement. He knew what this meant for me

My heart jumped in excitement and happiness and my long–lost smile reappeared. My assistant also smiled. I snatched the phone from his grasp and

placed it on my ear.

“You’re speaking with Mark Torres, CEO of GT Group”

They explained what my assistant had just told me in fuller details and I couldn’t stop my widening smile. A wave of relief washed over me knowing Sydney

was alive and safe. All the anguish and torment I had endured these past months thinking the worst had happened drifted away. I felt reborn, like a new

man.

“Thank you! Thank you so much for this newal I said with vigor and enthusiasm, my grip on the phone tightening as the emotions surged within me. could scarcely believe this was reality and not some cruel dream that would dissipate upon waking. Tll be there shortly to pick her up. I can’t thank you

enough.”

I hung up the phone, handed it back to my assistant with a brilliant smile and tears of joy in my eyes. I rose to my feet and the other participants, looking confused but realizing something tremendous must have occured, stood as well.

“The meeting is suspended,” I said with a laugh, already moving towards the door. “My apologies everyone, but an urgent personal matter has arisen that requires my immediate attention. We’ll have to reschedule.”

I could scarcely care about decorum or professionalism in that moment. Sydney was alive! That’s all that mattered. I rushed out with my assistant in tow, barking orders for my car to be brought around immediately. Though my engagement with Mis and any ties whatsoever I had with her was canceled snice Mia was the one who initiated the cancellation, my cooperation with the councilman,

her father still existed. We decided to think like businessmen and not let a personal issue hinder the seamless benefits we would reap from working together.

I continued to provide him with campaign funds until the councilman successfully became a state councilman. With his alliance and help, my influence in politics grew larger and I became the councilman’s night–hand man, All of these also came with the perks to meet with several of the political bigwigs. It was by leveraging their connections that I was able to get the staff at the Italy embassy to help find Sydney.

I hurried back to my apartment, my heart soaring. The on and off babysitter I had employed to care for Aiden whenever I wasn’t around got on her feet and greeted. “Welcome back sir.”

On seeing a smile on my face, Aiden carefully watched me, seeming confused. He didn’t stumble toward me like he liked to do or clapped his hands, he

just watched me cautiously.

His innocent eyes seemed to be asking “What’s going on? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?”

I laughed joyfully and carelessly dropped my bag, opening my arms wide. “Aiden boy, mommy’s coming back! She’s finally finally coming back!”

His face instantly lit up with delight and he clapped his hands, crying out “Mommy! Mommy!” in his adorable baby voice. He rushed unsteadily to his feet and ran towards me, allowing me to scoop him up in a great hug. I held him tightly, planting kisses on his head, breathing in his sweet scent. After so much darkness, finally there was light again.

“Yes, that’s right! Mommy’s on her way home to us! Should we go wait for her at the airport?”

Aiden was babbling excitedly in my arms, his whole body wriggling with glee. My heart fait fit to burst with love for this boy, this little miracle that she had given me. The love I feh for him was only exceeded by the love I felt for his mother.

Turning to the babysitter who watched us with a smile, I said,

“I have your pay transferred to you. If I ever need your services again, I’ll reach out to you.”

“Thank you” she said again then smiled at Aiden. “Bye, big boy, see you when I see you.”

Aiden waved at her as she packed up her things and left

The babysitter was a young school leaver who was struggling to fend for her family. Apart from the fact that she was professional smart and hardworking. Alden adores her so I decided that she would always be our go to babysitter whenever Alden needed babysitting until he doesn’t need it

anymore.

After the babysitter left, with a beaming face, Aiden and I rushed to the car. The only thing I grabbed before we left the house was Alden’s favorite boy that I got him when he turned one a customized toy car with mirrors that had Sydney’s picture on it.

We reached the airport even before Sydney’s plane had landed Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Soon, her plane landed and it was announced. We waited for her to come out of the terminal and as she did, our gaze instantly settled on her.

Sydney got looks from passersby and bystanders because of how disheveled she looked but neither of us cares. She whirled around the filled airport as

“Sydney, we’re here!” I hollered out, not caring who was looking.

Her gaze fell on us and a huge smile appeared on her face as she walked up to us

Neither of us uttered a word as she took a babbling Aiden from me, her eyes glistening with tears. She closed her eyes and hugged him to her chest. She opened her eyes and then her arm and I walked into her embrace, hugging the both of them to me.

THE END.
