Part 1: Main Story of The Billionaire CEO’s Runaway Wife
When Sarah and Luca were pronounced husband and wife, he kissed his bride as usual and you know every lady would be turned blushing like Sarah did, as she faced her husband for the first time. Gazing upon her husband she found his expression emotionless and indifferent in the billionaire CEO’s runaway wife. Despite this with a sigh, he leaned forward to kiss her cheek.
Sarah didn’t realize what she was going into. One day she woke and slowly sat up. She sat there several moments before looking over at the other side of the bed to find it empty, as it had been for the past two years. Two years ago she married her Prince Charming, Lucas Stanton. He was the grandson of Alice Stanton, one of the most prominent business people in New York.
Her own son proved inept at business so Alice maintained the reins of her company until her grandson showed promise. She groomed him to be her heir and the next head of Stanton Incorporated skipping over her own son in an unprecedented move, However, in the billionaire CEO’s runaway wife, the changing of the guard came with a price, she insisted Lucas married and not to just any woman, but a woman of her choosing.
Alice’s last acquisition was Tomlinson Tech, the company Sarah’s father started, brought out of obscurity and drove it to bankruptcy. For as long as Sarah could remember her father had been fascinated by gadgets and electronics. He was a fair programmer so starting a technology company seemed to be a surefire way of earning his fortune. But being good with computers did not translate to business smarts.
Poor management led to the company’s inevitable demise in the billionaire CEO’s runaway wife but her father refused to submit and went to other companies, wanting them to buy out Tomlinson and secure the funds he needed to maintain his lifestyle. Most turned him down outright but Alice Stanton humored him.
They finally settled on a deal giving Sarah’s father ten percent of the company’s market value, several shares in Stanton Inc., and a bride for Lucas, Sarah couldn’t believe her father when he delivered the news. She denounced the deal but a private interview with Alice herself changed Sarah’s mind. So she agreed to the arrangement though she at least secured herself some conditions.
While her father’s passion was technology her mother’s had been antiquing. Finding the potential and beauty in something old, reviving it, and making it new again was her calling and Sarah learned how to do it at her side. There wasn’t a garage sale, thrift store, street fair, or flea market her mother passed up in her quest and the same passion lived on in Sarah, in the billionaire CEO’s runaway wife.
With her shrinking budget Sarah decorated the church and reception hall on her own making the repurposed look chic and sophisticated. That also included her dress which was really her mother’s old wedding gown although her friend Vicki handled most of the alterations.
Despite her efforts and the exclusive guest list, it seemed she had not impressed her groom or high society. Of the few reviews she read all were of the opinion she fell well short of Stanton’s reputation. She could bear society’s criticism, it was her husband’s open dismissal that hurt. During the reception, he danced with her only once and never even looked her in the eye the entire night.

Alan had been Lucas’s friend since primary school, groomed to be an informative and indisputable researcher in the billionaire CEO’s runaway wife. Alan proved to have incomparable skills both as a personnel manager and information gatherer. Lucas could think of no one better suited to help him carry on in his grandmother’s place.
So far they proved an indomitable team securing several key wins for the benefit and expansion of the company. Perhaps he wasn’t quite at his grandmother’s level and maybe he was a step or two behind the likes of Julius DaLair and Silas Prescott but he was closing the gap.
The Mixer was a casual, annual event to encourage the various elite of New York to mingle, trade ideas, and invest in new projects. He forgot who first set up the party that would require the presence of the billionaire CEO’s runaway wife but it was an event his grandmother never missed so it wasn’t one he could skip as her heir. The Mixer itself wasn’t what bothered him. What bothered him was that he would have to attend with his dull, pale wife.
Though Lucas had only requested his sister to join him in the mixer party somehow Madeline managed to tag along as always, since she was technically his secretary he supposed there was no harm. Madeline threaded her arm through his left while Lidia took his right and together the trio headed in with a wary Alan tagging along behind in the billionaire CEO’s runaway wife. As always the Mixer was held in a large reception room. This one had wide windows giving them a fantastic view of the city.
The girls tagged along as Lucas made his rounds greeting people he knew, Lucas introduced his sister and secretary to any who asked though they were expected to remain calm and quiet unless addressed. This was a rule Sarah followed to the letter but not one Lidia and Madeline minded breaking much to the consternation of a few guests.
Making his first lap of the event space Lucas was surprised to see Julius DaLair in attendance along with Macey. Though Julius had entertained business proposals from Lucas in the past he saw no reason to do so now or in the future, It was best to distance Dalair interests as far from Stanton as possible and he made a note to share his concerns with March and their father.
