All Chapters of Loveless CEO: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Walking to the window, I fold my arms and stare at the pan of glass as thoughts travel across my mind. So far, so good. I have all that I ever wished and worked for except for one that sparks my interest. The word "Love", they say, is a special feeling, but I can prove that it's just an excuse to act in a particular way. They can't really blame me for my perspective about Love, coming from a young man living with the pains and bitterness of deceit from his past, and besides, nobody has proven that theory of love to be right. Except for my mom who died a long time ago with my father in a car accident, Mr. Clinton Xander and Mrs Mary Xander, may their souls rest in peace.Trying not to allow my emotions to get the best part of me, I giggle and roll my eyes as I walk back to my desk. Life isn't always rosy, I thought, as those were the exact words that always comfort me whenever I remember that I have no parents. It's just me and Ketty, my twin sister. We were separated when we were youn

She woke up to the alarm beeping incessantly. She was sleeping so deeply that she had forgotten that today was the day of her interview. So she bolted from the bed and hurried into the bathroom to get ready as fast as she could.There is time, she thought while looking at her watch before heading to the coffee shop to get her favorite tea. Today She felt confident that something good was going to happen considering the present weather condition looking a lot more favourable as the sun beams its light rays on the earth.Besides, science proves it that the early morning sun helps activate the vitamins on our skin. She consoles and encourages herself. A good omen she thought while she steps out of the house for the bus station looking all smart and accurately dressed wearing a pencil skirt that went from waist till slightly above her knees with a touch of some concealer, eyeliner, mascara, and a baby pink lipstick. She settles for a flat shoe as it seems stress free other than her heels,

Waking up in a cold sweat, pulling the bedsheets off of my naked body, I get up to grab a set of fresh ones from the hall closet. When I touch the vinyl floor, I shiver from the cold and hurry to put my robe on. Just then I thought, wishing I could share with someone how I feel right now.Talking about sharing, Ketty is the only option for a listening ear of course she is the only family I've got right now but even at that, I don't feel like opening up to her would be best for now because I don't want to feel bad considering the fact that she feels am just a playboy and not serious at all. Looking through the fabrics, I pick the Egyptian cotton powder blue sheets and head back to my room. Immediately taking off the wet ones and replacing them with the fresh sheets. I take off my robe and slippers and then climb back to the bed "That place feels exactly like reality," I mutter, trying to close my eyes atleast to have a glance just one more time. "Will life be something like what I

Knock! Knock! Knock!"C'mon in" Susan responds casually whilst her attention still faced on her desk "Always on-time, i can imagine how early you upt of your soft magnificent bed every morning. This is exactly what the EMPIRE needs". Ava commends Susan with beams of satisfaction as she walks in.Hearing Ava's voice alone, brought relief for the day seeing that she's a whole lot of vibe. Seeing her always smile during works hours despite the pressure made me see life from a different perspective, that life isn't always as difficult as some people assume and exaggerate it to be. "When will you" –susan smiles shaking her head side ways– "ever stop this flattering?""Offcourse not... I'm just stating the obvious. No flattering at all on this one. I mean look at you, which man in his right senses will not notice such a hardworking and independent lady like you except he is blind offcourse.""Hehehehe, that's not true... People's choice of their ideal partner matters too, not like they-"

Xander's heart breaks at the sight of his sister's distress. He wanted nothing more than to reach through the screen and hold her, to promise her that he will do everything in his power to bring her home. But all he can do is sit there and stare helplessly at the screen, tears streaming down his face."Please," he begs the kidnappers. "Let her go. Come get me instead, she doesn't deserve this."The kidnapper's expression softens slightly, but he still looked unmoved. Xander knows that he couldn't give up. He had to find a way to save Ketty, no matter what it took. He asked for more time and promised he will find the money and will continue to negotiate.The kidnapper thought for a moment, then nodded. "I'll give you one more day added to your 48 hours," he said. "One more day to come up with the money. If you don't have it by then, your sister will be gone forever."The screen goes black, and Xander is left staring at his own reflection. He knows he only have less than 72hours to co
