CEO's Love Triangle Chapter One
She burst through the elevator, Jane Pearson, CEO of the Pearson Corporation, was running through the lobby of her own company. With long black hair flowing behind, her dark blue suited figure streaked past the reception, skilfully navigating through the stream of people, bumping a few in her way.“Sorry” Jane retorted, still in her stride. The receptionist, Lisa, and other suited persons were left in utter confusion.“What’s going on?” “What’s happening?” “Where’s she going?” they mumbled. Still in the elevator, her personal assistant, Alice Gerrard, could barely keep up. ‘How could anyone wearing heels move so fast?’ she thought, struggling to hang onto some office documents, apologise to everyone, and keep track of her boss at the same time.Pushing open the doors, Jane quickly hops down the entrance stairs, before jumping straight into the back seat of the company car her assistant called. She sat back, face crunched down in her hands, wishing more than anything for the ground t

He makes a sharp turn, leading straight to a seemingly discarded area, there are broken down vans parked on both side of the road, with wilting trees on the sidewalks, and trash ruing all-over. His turned again, revealing a myriad of buildings, each of which were all abandoned, not even a single person could be seen. More and more he made turns and corners, going deeper into this derelict zone, making it nearly impossible for them to be followed.All through the drive the back seat was quiet, Jane sat completely still, looking through her window, trying to memorize their path. But it was futile; all the turns were too much her. Alice was still rooted to her seat, shaking profusely, staring straight at the driver seat from behind. Her eyes frightfully fixed. Their driver, who was rather giddy, made another sharp turn, a final left turn, leading to a large decadent building. Driving straight through a rough road, piles of junk littered all over, with a few dying trees on both sides

The screeching had stopped. The air was calm. Everywhere was dark. It felt hot. The smell of burnt rubber and gasoline was chocking. The engine was off.“Cough!”Slowly opening her eyes, she squinted, trying to make out what was I front of her. An all-black executive car, the same one Jane saw earlier, stood there breathing hot air at her face.She couldn’t get up. This whole incident made her forget she was on the floor and was being held captive. But her kidnappers were still alert, closing in on her slowly from their scattered positions, trying to take the driver by surprise.They took each step with caution, guided by the motions of their one-eyed boss. With each passing moment they closed in on Jane, who was still sitting, frozen still, eyes fixated on the cars bumper. She was in trouble.With a loud kicking noise, the engine roared. The car was on again, pulling away from Jane’s face, swiftly in reverse motion, knocking out one of the kidnappers behind. One man down.It then dro

“Y-Y-Yes, I’m fine.” Alice replied, surprised that he was talking to her.“Are you sure? You were laying on the floor when I came in.” he said smiling softly.“Yes, I’m sure.” She chuckled, “And with all that happened, your attention was on the girl on the floor?”“Right from the moment I came in.” he said definitively, still holding that smile on his face, “I’m Michael Cooper, the new head of security at the company, but you can call me Mike” he stretched out his hand.“Alice Gerrard, Jane’s personal assistant, but you can call me Alice,” she reached out her hand to meet his, looking straight at him with an innocent smile, “thanks for saving us.”A black Limo was approaching, it made its way through the police officers.“Looks like your ride is here” Mike said. Still holding her hand, he led her way towards Jane, who was talking with the senior officer.“Sorry to interrupt you again, Miss Pearson.” He had let go of Alice’s hand.“No problem.” She said, turning to him. She was calmer

“Wait, are you wearing make up?” Alice asked with her eyes wide open.“Yeah, I decided to give it a shot,” she said with a shy smile and blushed cheeks “you know? To see what all the fuss is about.”Alice just stared back, unable to process what was going on.“So? What do you think?” Jane asked, as her assistants expressionless face was not encouraging.“I, for one, think you look great.” said a wise female voice smiling from the corner of the door.She stood there, a woman in her late forty’s, leaning on the door frame, her short greying hair parted to the side in an elegant manner, with her pearl necklace complimenting a stylish suit dress. Jane’s eyes sparkled at the sight of her, with a mature though childish smile taking over her face. Alice turned and put-up a respecting face.“Aunt Sharon! When did you get back?”“Just before your little incident yesterday.” She replied, walking into the office.“Welcome back Miss Wallace. How was your trip?” Alice said as she approached.“It

Knock, knock. Jane looked up to see who it was. It was Michael, peaking his head through the ajar door. Sharon didn’t even turn.“Sorry to interrupt. May I come in?” Michael said, pushing the door open by the handle.Jane’s cheeks flushed bright red t the sight of him, freezing still like a dear in front of headlights, she was lost in this split moment and Sharon saw it.“C-Come in.” she said, struggling to get her words out.Sharon placed the tips of her fingers over her lips, trying to conceal her laugh. She found Jane absolutely amusing as she stood up to leave.“Wait…you’re leaving?” Jane whispered to Sharon, with her wide eyes pointed directly at her. “You can’t leave me alone with him.” Sharons eyes brightened as a devious smile overcame her face, she was enjoying herself.“As much as I would love to stay and watch all this unfold,” Sharon said, looking straight at Jane with a smile on her face. “ I have to go and have go have a word with Hector.” Jane winced at the sound of the

Jane looked up in utter confusion, Michael jumped up at the sound of Alice’s panicked voice, he was ready for anything.“What do you mean? What’s going on?” Jane said, getting off her seat.“It’s Arnold. Apparently, he hasn’t shown up for work today, with no one able to reach his cell, and they found this not in his cubical saying ‘I’m afraid of what the Boss might do to me.’” Alice said.“WHAT?!” she screamed in a low tone. “Why does this keep happening.” Jane planted both her arms on her desk, using it to support herself, as she shook her head nervously facing down. Another bad day in the making.“Hold on for a second.” Michael said, turning his head on the spot to look at both ladies. “Who is Arnold and why would he have any reason to be scared.”“I’m sure your aware of what happened here in the office yesterday?” Alice spoke calmly, trying to explain things to Michael.“Somewhat, I guess.” He responded.“Well Arnold is the guy Miss Pearson basically ripped to shreds with her word

“What’s going on? Someone please tell me. Where am I?” his trembling voice asked.No one answered, it was quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the rumbling on the engine, and heavy breathing. “Please where are you taking me?” he asked again, realizing he was in a moving car from the bumps on the road.“Just keep shut, okay? we’ll get there soon” A croaky voice replied gently.Michael was at Arnold’s building that afternoon, walking through the hallway with the pocket book in his hand, looking for the room number on the book.“103, found it.” He said to himself. “I’m sure he’s just scared, that’s why he didn’t show up.” He continued with an easy voice.Michael knocked, but no response, he knocked again with a little more force, still no answer but the door moved in a little.“It’s open?” his ease began to fade into caution.Pushing the door gently by the handle, he walked into the room slowly. It was completely silent end eerie.“Hello? Anyone home?” He whispered softly.Th

Alice smiled back at him, looking deeply into his eyes. In the moment, she felt as though it was just the two of them in the room, with their long pause of silence.“Ahem.” Blake coughed, calling them back to reality.“Oh, pardon me, Miss Pearson, this is my good friend, Blake.” Michael said, gesturing both his arms towards Blake. Blake raised his right hand, waving politely and smiling softly. “Hi!”“And Blake, this is my Boss, Miss Pearson.” Michael continued, now directing his hands to Jane.“Please, call me Jane.” Jane said, returning Blakes wave. “Okay, Jane.” Blake replied.Jane smiled at him. “I would also prefer it if you called me by my name too.” She said, facing Michael.“I don’t think that’s right.” Michael said.“What?” Jane asked.“Calling you by your name like that.” He responded.“And why’s that?” Jane asked again, slightly annoyed.“Because you’re my Boss.” He said firmly.Jane pouted her face, Michael was slightly annoyed, as they aggressively stared at one another

Looking into his eyes, Michael saw that he was set on Jane. Time slowed down immediately; the man was already too close for Michael to react properly.Without many options, he quickly turned himself into a human shield to protect Jane. Spreading his arms wide in anticipation.The man lunged in, aiming his knife on Michael’s center. Without delay, Michael grabbed his assailant by the wrist as they struggled, pushing Jane to the ground.Onlookers at first were baffled by what was going on, before a lady on the other side of the street yelled. “HELP! HE’S GOT A KNIFE!” causing an instant panic.Their tussle, which lasted only moments, felt like hours to Jane, who sat helplessly on the street, using her arm behind her to weigh herself up against the ground.Michael pushed hard, his assailant pushed just as hard, in a backwards tug of war, neither of them giving in. Michael kicked him on the shin, forcing him to fall.On his way down he took Michael with him, as they landed chaotically on

Michael was surprised to be getting a call from Jane all of a sudden. And why was is she using Alice’s phone, ‘Was Alice in hurt?’, he thought to himself.Quicky getting up from his seat, Michael sobered up instantly to the bewilderment of Blake. The thought of Alice in danger put his mind in focus.“Where are you know?” He asked Jane over the phone with urgency.“I’m in front of the coffee shop on main street.” Jane was a little freaked out by his tone.“I’m on my way.” He said quickly, ending the call without a second thought.“What’s going on?” Blake asked, seeing the determination on Michael’s face.“Sorry, I need to go.” Michael said turning away from his friend.Blake immediately grabbed Michael’s hand, stooping him from leaving, as Michael struggled to free himself. “Hold it there, friend.” Blake said calmly. “You’re in no condition to be rushing anywhere.”“I need to go, she’s in danger.” Michael said urgently.“Who’s in danger?” Blake was still calm.“Alice, I need to go see

Calling Michaels number, Alice waited for a short while before he answered. She was silent as she held the phone to her ear.“Hello, who is this?” Michael spoke through the phone.“Hey Mike, it’s Alice.” She said softly.Michael went quiet for a minute before he finally said, “Hey.”“Hey.” Alice said. “Hope I didn’t catch you at a bad time?” her voice was calm and gentle.“No, no, I’m good to talk now, since I left work early.” He said quickly, as though he was nervous. “Yeah, me too, weird day at the office.” She said with a hint of humor.There was another awkward silence as Michael didn’t what to say, it was his fault she left office early.“Look, Alice, I’m so sorry about what I did, I had no right to kiss you all of a sudden, I was tired and wasn’t thinking straight…” He said quickly without stop.Alice laughed, “It’s all right, I liked it.” She said smiling, kicking her feet on the bed. “Besides, I think I kind of… forced your hand with my confession.”“I’m confused, so you’re

Michael’s eyes widened as he stared fixatedly at Sharon, who looked back at him with beseeching eyes.“WHAT!?” He yelled out in a whisper.“I have reason to believe that someone is harm her at the party this weekend.” Sharon said, looking straight at the elevator doors.“Why do you think that? Do you have a source?” Michael asked. Michael askes, turning his head away from her.“After these recent events I’m sure that even you can see that she is in danger, Mr. undercover agent.”Michael turned back at her with surprise written all over his face. She just smiled as she continued to look at the door.“H-how did you find out?” There was no use denying it, Michael knew Sharon was a brilliant lady who didn’t say things without certainty.“Come on, you think I would hire you without knowing everything first?”Michael dropped his head, his cover was blown, he might as well just quit here and now, but then he realized that she already knew before, which only confused him.“Why did you hire me

“Did I say something wrong sir?”Hector, realizing he was overreacting, regained his composure, quickly picking up a picture off his desk. It was a photo of Jane with Alice standing beside her.“May I remind you that, inter office relationships are prohibited.” Hector said.Michael seemed confused by this. “But sir, this isn’t stated anywhere within the company’s rules and guidelines.”“How dare you question me.” Hectors temper rose again. “And there’s no way you know the entire company’s rules and guidelines, after being here for just two days.”“Sorry to disappoint you sir, but I take my job very seriously.” Michael retorted, pride in his voice. “I’ve made it my duty to know what goes on within the company.”Hector’s anger began to increase. He didn’t expect the meeting to go like this, he had hoped that Michael would be that someone he could easily control.“Look here son, if you try anything to go against me, you won’t only lose your job; you’ll lose everything you ever had.” Hect

What?” Michael said, confused.Jane’s jaw dropped. ‘I didn’t think she’d say that’ she thought, looking directly Alice from behind. Michael stood in front of her, still processing the words.‘What did I just say’ the thought was on replay on Alice’s mind. unable to believe the words came out of her mouth, as she directed her gaze straight at the floor, eyes wide and cheeks flushed.Suddenly they all turned towards the door, someone was knocking. It was one of the office staff, she stood beside the door. “Uhm.” The air in the room was so tense she could barely keep her words. “Uhm… sorry to interrupt… but Mr. Pearson said I should tell Mr. Cooper that he wants to see him in his office”She ran out immediately after passing her message. Michael turned back to face Alice, knowing he had to give her a reply before he left. Michael always resorted to actions whenever words would fail him, and in this moment, they were completely gone.He lunged forward, placing both his palms on Alices c

Michael was shocked at the answer, stepping back, he sat on a nearby crate, trying to figure out what has been going on. “Hey.” He said looking at Arnold. “Don’t tell the other employees that Jane was involved in this okay?”“Alright.” Arnold replied, weak and confused. “But didn’t that guy just confess that she ordered him to do these things to me?”“Something isn’t quite adding up.” Michael answered. “So, just do as I say, okay?”“Okay.”The police arrived shortly. They apprehended the criminals then took Arnold and Michael’s statements; after they were done, they drove off with Arnold and the kidnappers.Michael walked out of the station slowly, as the crickets sang in the background, he was tired and confused, everything he had done the past two days was catching up on him. The night was late, with the cold gentle breeze was blowing. He went to his car, which was carelessly parked besides the blue van.Michael stopped between the van and his car, looking straight at the van, he

Michael ran Immediately, following the trail. Jumping over rocks, rushing through bushes, dodging trees, but he finally arrived, his clothes torn and dirty.He stood there, exhausted, in front of the station. Taking a short break to catch his breath and analyze the surroundings before going in, but he soon realizes there’s no time as screams emerge from the building.“PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP ME!”‘That has to be Arnold’ Michael thought dashing in blindly. He came in from the front entrance, the station was getting dark so it was hard to see, but he could the sounds in the distance.Following the noises, Michael snuck his way towards Arnold and his captors; they had tied Arnold to a chair, the bag still over his head with his arms and legs tied.Michael picked a spot to hide behind an old dusty crate. Looking closely at the scene, he saw bruises all over Arnolds body, meaning he was beaten up earlier. One of the men sat at the corner scratching his head, while the other reached for a b
