THREE IS A CROWD (love triangle) Chapter 9
“Did you fire that stripper like I asked?” Dan asked while walking to the elevator at Tinder’s Corp. and his secretary, Michael, who also happened to be his cousin.“Yes, I did.” Michael affirmed. They got to the elevator.“What is taking the background search so long?” Dan’s frustration was evident. The suspense and curiosity kept him wondering and impatient. He wanted to know everything about her and how he could use the information to his advantage.“Sarah Thompson’s information is rather hard to get; she’s been off social media and…” Michael lied.“You didn’t do anything about it, did you?” Dan interrupted; he caught on to Michael’s lie. He knew his cousin was often unreliable when it came to office tasks, but his mother had insisted he give him a chance at Tinder’s Corp.“Don’t worry, I will find her myself.” The elevator door began to close when he caught a glimpse of someone who resembled Sarah through the narrow opening left for the elevator to close. He tried to stop the e

It’s Sarah’s second day at work, and her number one goal of the day was to do everything she could to avoid Dan.She couldn’t get a good night’s sleep; she kept on thinking about how to approach Dan and finally apologize, especially now that he’s her boss and he can decide to fire her.The thought of getting fired alone got her scared. She needed the job, and kneeling before Dan to ask for forgiveness was nothing.She truly regretted all she did in the past. Although she barely remembered what happened, She got into an accident on graduation day in high school that made her lose part of her memory.According to the doctor, it’s her subconscious mind that’s trying to hide something as a defense against something.She didn’t really understand all the medical jargon he said back then. For her mind to do such a thing, she figured a part of her hated what she did and wanted a new life. And she was going to get forgiveness at all costs, but till then, he was going to stay clear of Dan.Sar

Dan has been on a business trip to Canada with Michael for weeks now. The house was empty, leaving only Celia at home.The loneliness was killing her; she wanted company. She was bored and missed her son and nephew. The urge to do something to kill the boredom began, so she went on a shopping spree and then on lunch dates with some of her friends.In one of the conversations she had with her friends at their previous lunch,One of her friends, Martha, kept bragging.“My son’s wedding would be the talk of not only the state but the country. We plan on having it on for a week; the first day would be a welcome dinner at a scenic outdoor venue for all our guests; the second day would be rehearsal dinner; and the…” Celia cut in.“Oh, that would be lovely, but when is this wedding?” Celia asked; she knew she was lying. Her son was recently rumored to be gay, a rumor that she started when she saw them kissing at one of the bars her cousin owned.“Well, some time this year.” Martha said, avoi

“Mom, you did this on purpose.” Dan accused her in fury. It has been a habit of Dan to launch a hug on his mom as soon as he sets eyes on her after a long business trip. She had planned it; she knew he was getting back that day, so she insisted that Belinda and her have the dinner at home instead. She also made Belinda open the door to take the hug.“Come on, how was I supposed to know you were not the one at the door?” she smirked. Dan gave her a brief glare. They both talked like Belinda wasn’t still at the door, frozen, and processing the whole hug thing.“Calm down, go to your room, and freshen up.” Celia suggested. Dan picked up his bag, huffed, and walked out of the living room.“Oh, and make sure to come down for dinner when you are done,” she added. Then Dan slammed the door as a protest.Belinda stared at Celia.“Ignore him.” Celia chuckled and waved the issue off with a smile. She went on and requested that Belinda take a seat to process it.“You look like you enjoyed the h

Unlike Dan, who was Mama’s boy, Michael preferred to stay in the hotel. He lived there most of the time. His parents disowned him after he made a terrible mistake that ruined his family’s image and company. He didn’t reveal the whole story to his aunt Celia, but she still welcomed him and tried to help him anyway she could.His Interests were always peculiar and weird. When he was a teenager, he hated wearing boxers because they felt uncomfortable when he wore trousers, and he’d prefer pink pants to other colors. He likes bright colors and would want to try them out at school, which got him the nickname rainbow.Michael had a hard time adjusting to school; he was always picked on, and when he reacts, the other person gets hurt, and his dad punishes him at home.He had to put up with everything because he didn’t want to ruin the family image. Even when he graduated from high school, his dad decided everything for him. From college choice to career, and also hired a woman to check if

She has already spent more than a month working with Tinder’s Corp., and luckily she has not bumped into Dan since. She wanted it to continue that way—just work and no Dan.Ella has been such a darling to her; even without a team, she already felt like she had one. They got closer by the day, and living in the same neighborhood also contributed to the friendship.Sarah dropped at the company’s entrance and waited for Ella to go park and join her.Just staring at the company’s logo was relaxing for her. She observed that the logo of Tinder's Corp featured bold, black lettering against a white background with a blue outline and an abstract symbol of a building. She would have gotten a closer look at it if it wasn’t 10 feet above her height.Ella joined her a few minutes later, and they both walked in, almost at the elevator.“OMG!” Ella exclaimed and paused.“What happened?” Sarah concerned.“I forgot to tell you something.” She recalled.Just as she was about to talk, Dan passed throu

Someone knocked at Dan’s office three times.“Come in.” He approved, but didn’t look up.No one came in. After a while, someone knocked six times.He got irritated and bit down on the urge to curse out loud.“If I hear that knock one more time, You will lose your job.” He almost raised his voice to a high pitch.The door slightly opened after the threat. A man appeared, smiling with open arms.“Guess who’s back?” It was his younger brother.“Pascal? You have got to be kidding me.” Dan stood up and went straight for the hug.“You infected me with your hugs before you left the country.” They both laughed.“My big brother’s company is growing.” He praised.“Yes, yes. When did you get back?” Dan asked. Going back to his seat while Pascal looked around.“A week ago.” He answered, looking for a place to sit.“Does Mom know?” Dan asked, aware of the answer.“No, and I don’t intend to let her know.” Pascal answered with a grin.“You need to settle things.

“You’re back.” Dan said while walking past Michael’s desk. He went into his office without saying another word. He had been partly worried, but also angry that he took him as only a boss and not a cousin. Michael looked a bit pale, but since he was at work, he had to look alive. He stood up from his desk to follow Dan into his office. As he approached the door, he bumped into someone. “I’m sorry,” he said faintly. “It’s fine.” She replied. It was Sarah; she looked drained and tired, though it was morning and she had already gotten some work done. One of her morning mantras was never to get into Dan’s trouble, and the tired look was her trying to do her best. It was uncomfortable being around Dan, but she kept her personal feelings aside to focus on work. She didn’t notice someone was going for the door as well which led to the collision Michael waited for her to go in, tilting forward in a bow and pointing his hands towards the door with a little curve around his lips. “Ladies f

“Did you just ask me to be your girlfriend?” Belinda laughed uncontrollably. Her tooth shone, leaving her a giddy.She was going to propose for him to be her boyfriend as well, but for a while until she travels out of the country like she planned. Her mom had earlier threatened she wouldn’t let her leave till she got married or at least started dating. Although Dan was rude to her all through, her mom liked him better than her past boyfriends, and knowing Dan doesn’t like her, he was the perfect person to date for a short time.“Why? Is it that bad?” Dan asked, but couldn’t figure out why she had reacted that way. His mom would only stay aware of his affairs if he started dating, and it would be more believable if it were Belinda.“No, not that. I also wanted to ask the same thing.” She replied. It got easier since he suggested first that she wouldn’t need to tell her reason to put in an effort. Belinda thought to play hard to get instead.“I never expected you to ask me out. The situ

“Mom? Why are you up?” Dan met his mom in the kitchen, drinking a cup of coffee. He glanced at the time; it was 5:40 a.m. His mom wasn’t the type to be up so early since she was a late-night sleeper, but for some reason he knew he was probably the reason she was awake so early. It was the weekend, and he was up getting ready for his 6 a.m. exercise (jog).He thought his mom was still asleep; since she was up, he knew the next thing from the way she frowned and her lack of response to his greeting. He knew he was right. What she was going to say about him was going to be about her women’s club or about Belinda. Though for some time she hasn’t spoken about her, he figured she had accepted that he didn’t want her.The thoughts of what his mom was up to caused his memory of his last encounter with Belinda to suffice; leaving her in the middle of nowhere and leaving her was supposed to engrave guilt and regret, which he didn’t have, especially after confirming her safe arrival at home.“Mo
THREE IS A CROWD (love triangle) Chapter 18: Running Away
The sun was peeping out yet a cold and chilly morning. Sarah was up early, and could barely stand the presence of her mom. She thought meeting her needs and giving her whatever she asked for was enough to make her stay away from her, but she was wrong.Sarah’s mother, Ana Martha, as she knows goes by after Amelia and Stephany, came in the night with no warning and without notifying Sarah that she was coming.She had been traveling around, either running away from debtors, hooked up with a rich man, which she left after sucking him dry, or running away with his money. She always did anything that would bring money, which fed her gambling habit.A second without money drove her crazy, and one of those crazy scenarios was hunting down her daughter to ask for money.“Where’s the money?" was the first question she asked when she saw Sarah for the first time in years. Not only did the shock of seeing her mother strike her speechless, but the dirty clothes and bruised face, even though they

Michael woke up an hour later. His eyes were struggling to open, and he couldn’t process where he was. The lights were too bright to adjust to, so he looked around instead; he was lying on a soft, big bed, and decorative dark portraits were hung on three sides of the walls. He managed to lift his head when a knock followed by a twist on the door knob caught his attention.The door was pushed open slowly, and someone appeared. It was Sarah holding a tray with both hands, with a cup of water and a bowl of porridge on the tray.He saw Sarah and he couldn’t believe in was in her houses. The room didn’t feel like a lady’s room; it was too plain to be Sarah’s house. ‘Where was he’ He thought; he could barely remember anything that happened after he blanked out.It was obviously not Sarah’s room; he knew from the paintings that the room was all white, and the portraits captured more buildings than flowers that girls would have.There was nothing girly on sight, and he knew Sarah wasn’t the
