Loveless CEO Let me drop you home
"But I knew him first before her." She withdraws back to her keyboard. Her eyes fixed on the computer screen as her fingers moves from key to key, her mind can't help but dwell on the stunt at the café. Lost in her thoughts, Ava barely registered the sound of her office door opening. She looks up to see Susan, standing in the doorway with a look of concern etched on her face. "Hey, Ava, is everything okay?" Susan asks, her voice laced with genuine concern.Ava quickly composes herself and put on a fake smile. "Oh, everything is fine, Susan. Just had a bit of a rough day, that's all.""A rough day?" Susan says, adding some steps further to pay attention to Ava. "It's nothing to worry about. I'm doing just fine now." Ava insists, sipping her coffee."Okay, if you say so. Because I'm sure I heard clearly, a slammed door." She responds as she retraces her footsteps back to the door and shots the door behind her on her way out."Huh... Damit... Why is she so intruding? Why can't she just

As Mr. Dum drives Xander home from work as usual, the sky suddenly turns gray, and a few drops of rain fell. Mr. Dum clicks his tongue in annoyance. "Looks like we're in for a bit of weather," he says, peering up at the sky.The rain falls relentlessly, pelting down in sheets that blurred the streets beyond the windshield. Xander leans forward in the back seat, squinting to see through the downpour. The same route he took every day from his office to his apartment, but the rain made it feel like a different world entirely.The windshield wipers beat back and forth in a steady rhythm, but it seemed like they could barely keep up with the deluge. The street outside was a blur of gray, and the rain seemed to have erased all sound except for the drumming on the roof of the car.He yawns and rubs his eyes, wishing he could just close them for a minute as he was tired after a long day at work, but he knows he has to stay alert. The roads were slick with rain, and other drivers were moving c

"Hmmmm," he exhales, continuing with a straight voice. "You do remember who you are speaking with, right?" He overs the phone speaker to laugh out loud so she doesn't hear that.With fear filled in her heart, she realises herself and stammers as she replies. "No sir, I meant no disregard. I apologize for my insolence." Behaving so formal with him, and just then he cuts her off before she says another thing."What? you are so formal all of a sudden. Come on, Susan am kidding with you.""You know nobody respects me and helps me out the way you do. Some persons who have helped me in the past, did so by taking advantage of my good nature and since then I have been so careful or should I say meticulous with my behaviour towards people. But getting to know you, I have regained my sense of laughter and joy. Thank you."So shocked as she has never seen her boss in that manner as someone so emotional. She quietly mutters. "Hmmm, sir, it's my pleasure talking with someone of you status and who

Waking up this morning, Susan feels so good and she can't tell why. She relives the moment of yesterday when she chatted and spoke with her boss, Mr Xander. She looks. It's almost seven o'clock in the morning and she notices her clock seems to have a problem. Because the alarm surely did not sound. She is awake because she is now used to the time frame of waking up in the morning. In a bit of a hurry to meet work early before her boss, she takes thirty minutes to take her bath, arrange the house and not been able to eat breakfast, she just grabs a small size fruit juice from the fridge and out she is off to the office.While seated in the car, she opens her phone to be time conscious and then she sees the missed calls from Ava, last night. She didn't call back last night, as it was pretty much late to call someone by that time. She immediately dials her number and after two calls, she didn't pick. Susan resolves at seeing her when she gets to work now."Finally, I'm here." Susan exhal

Mr Xander bursts into Susan's morning as he arrives at work. But on entering, he discovers Ava is inside with Susan. From what he can say, they must have been chatting all this while. Before Ava exits the office, she looks at Xander as if she was going to chew him right away. Mr Xander looks away, now focusing his gaze on Susan. Susan, on seeing Mr Xander enter her office, in sign of surprise and respect, she stands and walks out of her desk.Standing so firmly with her hands at her back. She shakingly says out to his hearing as Ava exits, closing the door. "Good morning sir, how was your night? Hope it went well." She holds her breath as he walks towards her and then questions him again before he could answer the first one. "Sir, what brings you here? Do you need anything? I can bring it to your office."He stops some away from where Susan stands and then puts his two hands inside his pocket. Looking into her eyes as she blinks constantly, trying to lose eye contact."Good morning S
Last Updated : 2023-03-02Loveless CEO What just happened?
Hearing the scream coming from Ava, they both realize themselves and immediately separate, pulling off from each other. Mr Xander, shy for the first time. And Susan being embarrassed as it's her first kiss. She hurriedly drops the document on the chair Mr Xander sat on before the incident. She immediately runs out of the office to the staff restroom on their own floor. She didn't even notice Ava as she ran out to talk more about looking at her Mr Xander. As Susan leaves the office, Mr Xander brushes his suite well to relieve himself as he was a little shaken. As he moves to the chair, he picks up the file and then sits back at the chair to examine the file and also waits for Susan to arrive so he can apologize and let her know it was just an accident and nothing much. He would not want to lose a friend like her. Ava draws close to where he sits and then calls on him "Sir, you are still here? Wow... Seems to me you love the office. We could switch yours and her office." As she tries

In a close range, looking him in the eyes, Susan speaks up. "With all do respect sir, I heard that you and Ava have been close before I started working here at your company, right?""We're just friend...Nothing more." Xander replies with a straight look without hesitation."And working here, she befriended me and for the first time in my life, I was happy I have someone to speak with at my work place." She says continuing to explain a fact to him."But of recent she looks at me differently. Sometimes with disdain in her eyes. That, I can't tell what's going on with her. I planned to keep a low profile and cause no trouble in this company, I don't know but I already feel like I'm in trouble already. So here comes my question sir, is something going on between you and miss Ava? Because there is definitely no problem with that."A moment of silence fills Xander as he is stalk contemplating in his mind whether he should trust the fact that Susan has high respect for him and would not mis

I almost gave up on you." She smiles as she breaks the silence over the phone."Are you there or?""I'm doing well, thanks. I was hoping to get your advice on something. You're a great relationship coach, and I could really use some help. About what you said the other day, but before that, I need you to answer some of my questions." She waits to hear her response."

Loveless CEO The long lost happy moment
An hour since the blood transfusion and the machines read loudly. Susan slowly opens her eyes, her vision blurry at first. As her surroundings come into focus, her first sight gazes at Xander, sleeping on a small couch nearby. 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. Susan had a moment of distress after the blood transfusion, but she's stable now. We're still trying to figure out what caused it. There is surely nothing to worry about.""She is showing signs of waking up. Let's stay by her side and mon
Loveless CEO The Perfect Donor
With the insistence in his tone, ketty asks the nurse to stand behind her. "We need immediate medical help here! She has lost consciousness, and we need to examine her condition thoroughly. 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
Loveless CEO Wanted A Lone Time But Didn't Get One
"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...?" "She killed her only sister because she was obsessed with a man. That man was my father. My aun
Loveless CEO Justice At Last
A bustling morning outside the courthouse as Xander and his sister, Ketty, strides purposefully towards the entrance, leaving John to watch over Susan until their return with good news. 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
Loveless CEO Finally to be dusted
"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
Loveless CEO Her memory loss
"Doc... Doctor! Doctor! Please come quickly!" Xander howls out of the door and the Doctor on duty for the night shift rushes into the room, noticing the urgency in the voice. "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
Loveless CEO Connecting The Untold Dots
"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. "How could you do such
Loveless CEO All a lie after all
"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
