It's Tuesday morning, after yesterday's busy day, after Mr Xander drops her off after work before going home. Susan's phone rings loudly, waking her up with a frown on her. She steals a glance at the screen of her phone, bleary-eyed, and saw that it was Ava calling. She hesitates for a moment, wondering why Ava was calling her at this hour, but then she answers the call. "Hello?" she says slowly.

"Susan, it's Ava," saying urgently. "I just got a call from Mr Dickson. He wants you to meet him at a hotel this morning to discuss some business updates. He's driving and can't meet you in his office."

Susan's heart races. Mr Dickson is one of the key client, and any meeting with him is important. She quickly runs through her daily schedule for the day, trying to figure out what she will wear that fits in this meeting. "What time does he want us to meet him?" she asks Ava.

Without hesitation "At 8:00 a.m.," Ava replies here.

Susan checks her phone and sees that it's already 6:15 a.m. She kno

  • Loveless CEO   The misunderstanding and the outburst

    Susan has been waiting in the hotel lobby for Mr. Dickson for over half an hour as he left her over there with the excuse of finding out a more quiet place for them to discuss. She then gets worried when she sees him approaching her, flashing a friendly smile. "Sorry for keeping you waiting, Susan," he says, gesturing towards the elevator. "The lobby is too noisy. Let's go to my room."She cannot understand why a room in a big hotel as this. Susan nods, showing a little hesitant but doesn't want to be rude. As they walk towards the elevator, stepping into it, she feels a pang of apprehension, but pushes it away. She follows him into the room, taking a seat on the couch, while he goes to put a call across to the minibar and orders a couple of drinks."I hope you don't mind, Susan," he sarcastically mutters, holding out a glass of whiskey towards her. "It's been a long morning."In resistance, she shakes her head. "No, thank you, sir. I don't drink. Especially outside." She recalls her

  • Loveless CEO   I am no longer interested

    Susan's faint as she was leaving his office made Xander scared. Though some workers are there at the hospital with her. Susan is being attended to by his sister Ketty, everyone who is present at the hospital, overheard the last conversation Mr Xander had with Susan and they gossip around it, saying he is the reason she is unconscious. As they all stand right outside her own room, Dr Ketty walks out and everyone spot their eyes on what she wants to say to prolong the day. Dr Ketty, playing calmly with them, chuckles, laughing out. "She's good now. If you are thinking of going inside to see her, then that shouldn't be accompanied by any iota of noise. Please, it's a hospital."While everyone enters and waits, she opens her eye, only to see herself lying on the hospital bed, with her head spinning and her body aching. She can hear voices around her, but everything sounds odd and far away. Gradually, her vision clears, she sees a group of people gathered around her, including Mr. Xander.

    Ava takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "I'm not asking you to be my pawn. I'm only asking you to be my partner. We agreed to do this together." Ava says before hearing the beeping sound of call disconnection. Ava's patience snaps. She takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. She knows that Mr. Dickson was right to be cautious, but also knows that they can't back out now. They have come too far to give up now and giving up means Mr Xander the man she's been longing for. The reason behind all this. Will never be hers.Ava calls her friend, who was also involved in the plan. Mrs Tina, who is the primary planner to the deal of satisfying her desires as they both relate, haven been in the same situation. Mrs Tina picks up after a few rings, her voice cheerful. "Hey, Ava! How's it going?" Saying to Ava, expecting good news.Ava takes a deep breath before responding. "I just got off the phone with Mr Dickson. He's backing out of the plan. Saying it's risky and th

    It's a new day, and the sun is rising, shading its golden glow across the city. Mr Xander wakes up early, ready to start his day.

    In the coolest of the night, around seven o'clock in the night, Ketty walks into her apartment from work so tired. She sets down her bag and freshens up. As she's about to lie down, her phone rings. She puts it on her lap to see who it is. To her surprise, it's John, her love. She quickly picks her phone."Hello?" Ketty answers In a sexy and hot voice "Hey, Ketty! How was work today?" John chimes in with his bold, masculine tone."Work was hectic than normal, but I pull through. How about you?" She enquires the same.John chuckles. "Same here. I've been busy all day. I'm just getting off work now." He mentions to her to be aware.

    The sun shines brighter, waking John and Ketty up to another beautiful morning, Ketty, stretching and yawning. She feels refreshed and ready to start the day. Her night was nothing like what they say. She now believes that a man who will make you confirm truly that love exists might not exist. She wakes up alone on the bed, making her feel indifferent, as she isn't seeing John anywhere in the room. After last night, didn't he enjoy himself? She thinks in her head."Good morning, beautiful." John smiles at ketty as she turns around, seeing him entering the room. "Did you sleep well?" He gestures so gently in a sweet tone.Ketty in shock still seeing him, so she keeps nodding." Yes, I did. Thank you for asking. Wait a minute. What's with that look?" She queries him as he stares at her with a sexy eye."I have a surprise for you, princess. All you need to do is trust me. Follow me while your eyes are closed till I say open." He takes her from the room to the kitchen, sits her down on the

    Just after the bump accident, Xander suddenly feels a huge impact on his body. He is thrown off his feet. Too scared to open his door and see what had just happened. All he could hear was the sound of a motorcycle revving up and then fading away."My love, are you okay?" Susan's voice calls out to him. Xander slowly opens his eyes to see her sitting beside him. A kind face and a calming presence that helps him relax a little."I don't know," he replies shakily, still in shock at the accident. "What happened?" He asks her, wanting to know if the shock got him anywhere."A man on a motorcycle ran into you." Susan helps him raise his head up. "Are you feeling hurt anywhere?" Still worried for him.Xander checks himself over and realizes no hurt at all. Just the shock and fear. "Thanks Susan." "Should we call an ambulance?" Susan asks."Yes, please," he says, feeling a wave of panic wash over him. "I don't know what to do.""Don't worry, I'll take care of it," Susan pulls out her phone a

He has heard of companies being investigated for fraud before, but he never thought it would ever happen to his own company. "Why all this today?" He soliloquizes to Susan's hearing.

    An hour since the blood transfusion and the machines read loudly. Susan slowly opens her eyes, her vision blurry at first.

She tries to sit up, feeling groggy and disoriented, but she still holds up persistent to wake up but she falls back asleep. As soon as ketty hears some sounds, she stands to observe Susan. Just then, Xander wakes up, feeling so tired. He rubs his eyes, looking around the room, seeing John Ketty, who appears to be staring. "What..." He chuckles, surprised. "What happened? Why is everyone staring at me and is she okay?" He takes a fast glance at Susan.John relieved, smiles back at Xander's facial expression. "Bro, you're awake.

Please call for another doctor to stand by."Both Xander and John exchange worried glances and quickly leave the room to find another doctor while Ketty focuses on examining Susan. As they step out, they sight a doctor coming out from the ward near to that of Susans. He stops him, explaining the matter. "Ooh, that's what the scream earlier on was about?" "Yes, doctor." "Let's get going then." He follows them."Come on, Susan, wake up." Ketty keeps muttering to herself. "I shouldn't have let you walk out on your own, regardless of your insistence. What have I done?" She pats her forehead, blaming herself.---Several moments pass as Ketty carefully checks Susan's vital signs, monitors her breathing, and performs various neurological tests. When the other doctor steps in again after a while, he loo

    "Hmmm. Susan, I need to tell you something, something that will be hard to say and even harder to believe. But I need you to listen, please. Growing up living with my aunt, whom I loved so much. She was like a second mother to me. But little did I know that the woman I adore is," he breathes heavily. "In fact, the devil herself." Susan, knowing nothing is wowed, "What do you mean, Xander? How could your aunt be...?"Interrupting her, Xander continues. "Just listen, Susan. It's important you understand as it might help you remember some things alright. My aunt recently confessed everything to me. This week, she finally got to pay for her crimes and is now in prison. She is charged with murder, kidnapping, and manipulation. It's unimaginable what she has done." He hisses.With an unbelievable look on her face, she adjusts to ask him. "Murder? kidnapping? I can't believe it. Who did she...?"

While walking down to the courtroom, Xander whispers, "finally sis, we're here. The day we've all wished and worked for and those responsible will finally face the consequences.""Absolutely, bro. Susan deserves closure, and we owe it to her to fight for the truth. After what has happened to our family, the separation and the ordeals, things like this should be put out as an example to warn evil people of what the consequence of their actions will be," Ketty replies in an angry tone.Inside the courtroom, the session begins. The police inspector presents the evidence, meticulously laying out the case against the suspects, which are Miss Ava, Mrs. Tina Godfred, and her husband, Mr. Godfred. The instigator and her accomplices."Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we have substantial evidence th

    "How are you feeling?" John gives her a warm hug. "We rushed here as soon as we received Xander's call." Seeing John, Susan's eyes light up with recognition and relief."I was wondering when you'd come. I'm so glad to see you." She looks at Ketty, her expression confuses. She drags John much closer to whisper into his ears. "But who are these two people with you?" John and Ketty exchanges puzzle glances, their minds racing to understand the situation.John is so lost. What is happening here?" He questions in his mind. "Susan, don't you remember? This is Ketty, your sister-in-law to be, and my sweetheart. And the man beside her is Xander, your boyfriend.""Boyfriend?!" She chuckles for a while and breathes down when she sees it wasn't funny and no one else was laughing, obviously herself. "Wait a minute, you're serious?" "Of course. I am,"Her brows furrow with confusion clear in her eyes. "Miss Ketty? Mr. Xander? I'm sorry, but I don't remember any of you. According to the doctor, I

"Oh, it's you, Mr Xander when did you step in?" The Doctor asks him out of curiosity. "She's awake!" Xander cuts in, pointing to Susan's bed, paying dumb ears to how he entered the hospital premises without a sight.The doctor hastens to Susan. "Wow. Just stay aside. Let me pay attention to her." "But why is she asking me who am I? And why is she in the hospital? Doctor, what's happening?"The Doctor examines her while trying to calm both Xander and Susan. "ma'am, how are you feeling and can you recall the last incident before the hospital?" He observes her expression and lamentations."Am feeling okay, but sore on my body, it's feels like I rolled from a hill down. For the last thing that happened, I can't recall anything, and why am I at the hospital?"The doctor, after listening to her, turns to Xander his s

    "Wait... Wait a minute." Xander stops for a second, stunned and shocked. "You were the doctor who delivered me and ketty at the hospital?" "Wow... Ketty? Is that her name?""Yeah. Dr Godfred or whatever you bear, but you sold my sister under my aunt's influence? Is that what you want to tell me?" Fast running tears run down Xander's eyes as he rethinks everything.Mr. Godfred with a heavy sigh, "Yes, Xander, it pains me to admit it. I was weak, and under the influence of your aunt, I made a terrible decision. I sold your sister to ensure her safety, or so I thought at that time. So did your aunty think, but I couldn't sell her as my heart will not sleep. I gave her away to my elder sister, who was married and didn't have a child back then. So instead of selling, I gave her over. I know that nothing I say here can make you forgive me and my act, and I take full responsibilities for my actions."Xander's emotions surge with anger and sadness coursing through him.

    "Whoops." Xander exhales lightly, standing outside the police station, his heart pounding in his chest. The air feels heavy, suffocating almost, as he contemplates the upcoming divulgence. He knows he has to embrace the truth, no matter how painful it might be. If Susan's parents were responsible for the death of his own parents, fine. But he can't hold it against Susan. He's already undoubtfully in love with her and she is the one for him and he can't let vengeance cloud his judgment. As he steps in, the heavy oak doors swung open, revealing the bustling police station within. Detectives hurriedly moving from one room to another, their voices muffles by the thick walls. He takes another deep breath, steeling himself for what lay ahead while he closes on a distance to the front desk. "Excuse me," he calls out to the officer behind the counter. "I'm here to see Detective Reynolds. Is he in?""Yeah.""And do you mind pointing in the direction where he is?"Just as he conversed with the
