Saved by the CEO

Chapter 1 

I fell to my knees on the ground, raised my gaze to the sky, and pleaded with all my being.  

Until when? When will the day come when I don't have to endure this irresistible pain because of my situation? Tears began to slide down my cheeks.  

She had already been immersed in the anguished search for a job for six months, and the responsibilities gave no respite. And not to mention my little son; Ever since his father left us, taking everything in his path with him, our life has been plunged into absolute chaos, and not precisely because he supported us. His actions were that of a coward without equal! 

It was an ordinary afternoon; I came back from work after picking up my little one in the garden. 

As soon as I touched the threshold of the mansion I knew that something bad was happening, because the door of the house was open, when I entered, I found the living room empty, I began to walk around the whole place and there was not a single piece of furniture.  

My legs threatened to give way, my hands trembled, to the point that I thought I would let go of my little one.  

The first thought that crossed my mind was that we were victims of a robbery.  

My hands were shaking uncontrollably as I pulled the phone out of my pocket and dialed my husband's number, but the cruel reality was revealed when I was diverted straight to voicemail, a mailbox that was already settled. I left my son on the floor, his heart pounding, and proceeded to check the family bank account, only to find that he was at zero.  

This can be nothing more than a joke. It can't be true! I closed my eyes in hopes of waking up from a nightmare, but upon opening them again, I was confronted with the heartbreaking fact that my husband, the man I married, was on the run with another woman. From that day on, something in me faded, and I was never able to fully recover from that devastating blow. 

From time to time, I was forced to clean houses to pay the rent for the small room I rented to live with my son and only thanks to the compassion of a neighbor, I got some food from time to time. 

Don't ask me at what point I fell into tremendous decline, but a depressed and disillusioned person, especially alone in the world, can hit the worst bottoms.  

"What are you doing in the apartment, Mommy?" Elian took me out of my thoughts, I turned to him, who looked at me with confusion, not understanding what we were going through.  

"I was praying my heavens." I ran the sleeve of my corroded face to dry my tears. 

"Why are you crying, Mommy?" He looked at me confused. 

"I'm just a little sad my love," I fixed her nightgown, "don't worry, everything will be alright.  

"I don't want you to cry anymore, I'll never leave you like daddy left us," my son rushed towards me and hugged me, a little five-year-old angel, comforting a twenty-seven-year-old woman... For a moment I lost myself in his arms, letting him comfort me and give me shelter.  

My son detached himself from my arms and looked at me more calmly. 

"Can I turn on the television?" He took advantage of the mischievous 

"Yes son, of course I do," I replied smiling to not worry, he ran out and turned on the old television, at that precise moment, the entertainment news was playing.  

 The great businessman and most sought-after bachelor in the city, is announcing his engagement, one of the saddest news for many women, yes gentlemen, Thomas Mitchell is marrying the great model Aranza Archer>> 

When I heard those names, I lifted my head and went to the TV. My son almost changed the news, but I managed to take control of him.
