YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME Bianca's POV ❤️Kumiko and I spoke on length that I forgot about meeting up with Jason. It was so fun having someone to talk to after everything that had happened. I wished she was here with me, but I didn't want her to face even a bit of what I was facing. I missed her so much.She kept on lamenting about how Charles was a psycho and it really cracked me up. She must really despise him."So, you said he strangled her. Aren't they like dating?" She asked. I was also curious too. Were they dating or not? He didn't act like they were but she was definitely head over heels in love with him. Wasn't she ashamed? He didn't even bat her an eyelid, it was so obvious he didn't feel the same way for her. I was very sure he despised her guts cause who on earth attempts to kill the person he is dating or in love with? No one. Kumiko was right, he was definitely a psychopath."Beats me! I seriously don't know, I'm as confused as you are. All I know is, you don't treat y
HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY Bianca's POV ❤️I was completely lost in my thoughts that I had almost forgotten about Jason again.He hurriedly ran to where I was and hugged me. His face was lit up, he must be really excited to see me."Won't you come in?" He asked me, dragging me towards the direction of his door and smiling throughout. He was really cute.I yanked my hands away from his and kept some distance between us."No need for that, you can say what you want to say right here." I uttered.He looked at me in disbelief and went ahead to speak."I know you're mad at me for what I did and I'm so sorry. It's just that... I won't lie to you Bianca, I'm confused. I woke up the next morning and couldn't find you. What is wrong?" He said, looking confused.Was he serious right now? He was trying to act clueless. Didn't he know what he did to me?"Let me go straight to the point, it's over between us!" I muttered under my breath.I didn't know what I was saying. Did I truly want to break up w
WHATEVER IT TAKESJane's POV ❤️The look in his eyes showed how disgusted he was by my behavior. I shouldn't have brought her up, I shouldn't have said anything about her to him. It was mere luck that I found him after all those years, and he actually spoke to me and even accepted to have a drink with me.I got so excited and ahead of myself. I couldn't hide the excitement and the fact that I finally saw him. I missed him, I missed his smile, his kisses and his hot sex. I missed everything about him. I don't know why I even broke up with him, he was perfect."Ma'am! Here is your coffee." The cute red-haired barista behind the counter jolted me back to reality and away from my thoughts. I stared at her, looking confused. I had totally forgotten I ordered coffee. She smiled at me, looking so impatient and repeated the words she said to me earlier."Here is your coffee, ma'am." She said with a smile.She must be really infuriated by me, but she was trained well not to be rude to custome
DRUNK IN LOVEJane's POV ❤️He looked disturbed also in his sleep as he kept on murmuring something. Was everything okay with him? The fight he had with Bianca must have been quite serious. I had to get him home fast.He called me to have a drink with him, that meant that he was all alone and Bianca wasn't with him, this was certainly the time to strike.I remembered where he lived, and I drove him to his apartment. Luckily for me, he still lived there. I got him out of the car, careful enough not to wake the slumbering figure that was passed out in the passenger seat of the car.My phone rang. Still holding Jason by his waist and supporting him, I picked the call and it was Bob calling me. What does he want? "What?" My tone was ferocious as Bob's voice filled my ear, and I was careful enough not to wake Jason up."Relax, no need to bite my head off." Bob mocked me. "Your car is still here, when are you going to come back to get it? We are about to close." He said.Oh no! I totally f
THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT!Bianca's POV ❤️A private jet? Did I hear him clearly? I shouldn't be surprised, he is a fucking billionaire. But where were we going? Where was he taking me to?"Where are we going?" I asked in a low tone, trying to hide the fact that I was crying. I didn't want him to hear me and mock me."You will see." He said.He stared at me and smirked and I just got to realize that he had a dimple. Why was I just knowing that now? He was beautiful and I could feel myself about to drool. What was I thinking? I just broke up with my boyfriend a while ago and I was here having fantasies about my enemy.He chuckled when he noticed my reaction and fixed his eyes on the road then started driving. The car was dead silent. I couldn't stop thinking about Jason. The breakup alone was a shock to him and now this? The look on his face when he saw Charles coming out of nowhere to defend me was saddening. I could see how betrayed he felt. I knew he had lots of questions to ask and I w
WELCOME TO GREEN ISLAND!Bianca's POV ❤️We arrived at the island at night. The sun was already down and I could see countless stars beautifying the night sky. Charles and I didn't really say much on the flight, we didn't even say anything. I was hoping for a conversation even though it was little but he was busy on his laptop throughout until we finally arrived on his so called island. I couldn't even go around to see how the private jet looked like, but it was nice. It was luxurious. It gave out a cool atmosphere, and had classy vibe to it much more similar to the owner. I looked out the window and saw a tiny island from afar. I gasped upon seeing it and was instantly filled excitement. I heard Charles chuckle but I wasn't sure if it was because of me, so I turned to look at me and found him smiling enough to make his dimples show but he wiped the smile off his face immediately that it looked like he never even smiled. Why was he hiding his beautiful smile from me? I giggled and he
CEREAL FOR TWO.Bianca's POV ❤️I cleared my throat before speaking, "there's nothing interesting about me..." I started. "I doubt that." he said. I looked at him again and I could see he was serious. "Tell me everything about you. Your favorite color, food, song, everything. I already know the country you would love to visit the most." He said. I couldn't believe my ears, he actually wanted to know about me? He wanted to know everything about me. Why was he doing this? I probably shouldn't get my hopes up again. He was unpredictable, I shouldn't expect something much from this conversation. He was probably doing all these nice things to me just because he wanted something in return. Why else would he take me to his private island? Why else would he act worried about me? Why else would he side me when I broke up with Jason? Kumiko was right after all, he was a psychopath and he was only doing this just because he didn't want to be at fault when and if anything happened to me. It wa
BOB THE BARTENDER Jane's POV ❤️The anger I felt while I was in Jason's house and hoped for it to subside by the time I got home refused to go away. Instead, it kept on coursing through my body. Bianca this, Bianca that. What was so special about her? He wouldn't stop mentioning her name and moaning it even during sex."Arghhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed at the top of my lungs the minute I entered inside. There was no one to comfort me, no one to tell me everything was going to be fine and there was no need for me to be so angry. No one. I threw my bag on the floor and removed my heels all in anger and kept on screaming. I was frustrated. My plan didn't work. My plan to have him back in my life didn't work. It was all her fault. How could she have that much of a control over him and she wasn't even there? "Biancaaaaaaaa!" I screamed repeatedly. I think I was loosing my mind. "Bianca. Bianca. Bianca. Bianca." I couldn't stop yelling her name. I kicked the air in frustration and bumped my t
THE BEGINNING OF THE END Bianca's POV ❤️ The door burst open, and a rush of cold air swept into the room, making me tense up and press my face against Charles’s chest, and I could perceive the subtle scent of his cologne, a familiar mix of cedar and vanilla. My heart raced— part fear that Axel might have come back to end it all, part embarrassment at being caught in the middle of the both of us making out. Charles’s chest was warm against my cheek, and his steady breathing calmed me as he held me close, his fingers running gently through my hair. “It’s okay, B. It’s just Mr. Tusch,” he whispered, his voice calm but with an edge of worry. I lifted my head slowly and glanced at the doorway. Mr. Tusch stood there, looking pale and anxious, sweat dotting his forehead. I exhaled a deep breath I didn't know I was holding, the tension in my body easing just a bit, though I still felt the heat of embarrassment on my face. "Master Charles," Mr. Tusch said, sounding nervous. "I’m sorry t
SHADOWS OF THE PAST CHARLES' POV ❤️ I had an idea where Axel might be holed up. A gnawing instinct told me he was there, lurking like a shadow waiting for my arrival. Of course, it made perfect sense. Axel was smart— very smart, and cruel enough to know the emotional chess game he was playing. He was good at playing these mind games. Even if he didn’t know we were already on our way, that house would be the first place he would go. The car hummed as it glided over the uneven road, and I could hear the faint purr of the tires against gravel. My chest felt tight, and I wiped my sweaty palms on my pants. I swallowed hard, my throat dry despite the dampness on my palms. Axel’s game wasn’t just about hurting me physically; no, he wanted to break me from the inside out. Slowly, deliberately. Bit by bit. From Audrey to Bianca, to Mom, and now this—the house. The place that started everything. A place that brought back memories I tried hard to forget, memories I had fought so hard to b
THE CALM BEFORE THE RECKONINGCHARLES' POV ❤️It has been two days since my mother passed away—in this case, murdered by her own son.Zac is doing everything in his power to keep this incident under wraps, preventing the media from blowing it up, and whatever he’s been doing has been working. But I say it’s only a matter of time before they find out.The police have started their investigation, but they aren’t anywhere close to finding out who the killer is. They went back to the venue where the party took place, but the CCTV footage had been wiped out. They said the perpetrator must have planned everything all along and that they were going to find out who it was. But the truth is, they’re never going to figure it out.How didn’t I think of this? How didn’t I know this was going to happen? I had been so focused on him hurting Bianca that Mom didn’t even cross my mind. Well, she did a little, but how could he have thought to hurt Mom? Our mother?Axel has been planning this for a long
THE FALL OF A DESPERATE LOVER IN DESPAIRJason's POV ❤️This dude was out of his freaking mind. He just murdered his mother and he laughs about it? He doesn't feel remorseful and doesn't even have a little bit of guilt. Instead, he is feeling proud of himself."That OLD HAG deserved it. She would call me her son meanwhile, she knew I wasn't. And what was with that dying message at the end? I forgive you? She forgives me? I should be the one doing the forgiving, it should be ME!" He yelled and then went ahead and cackled. "This is insane, you are insane..." I said."Awww, don't be like that lover boy." Axel teased.I scoffed. I have had enough with these people."I am done. I am out of here." I said.I turned towards the exit and two of his goons blocked my path. I knew this was going to happen, I knew he wasn't going to let me go that easily."Now I can't have you do that, Jason," he paused, and then pointed at Jane... "Jane here told me that my dear brother saw you while you were tr
TEARS THAT FLOWS DOWN LIKE RIVERCharles' POV ❤️After leaving the hospital building, Bianca hopped into the driver's side of my car and offered to drive the both of us back to my place. It was the first time seeing her behind the wheel of a car, and she looked absolutely breathtaking and cute while driving my car with the utmost care and treating it like a precious new born baby. I couldn't muster up the energy to compliment or tease her about it but deep down, I appreciated her presence as her expressions made me feel slightly better about my miserable self for not being able to save my mother. Zac and Kumiko were right behind us, trailing in their own car, and I couldn't help but wonder how they were feeling in that moment.The atmosphere inside was heavy with silence, sadness, and contemplation and every now and then, Bianca would steal glances at me, her eyes filled with concern as she tried to make sure I was holding up. I immediately got out of my car as soon as we got to my
A CHILD IS BORN AND A VOW TO PROTECT HIM.UNKNOWN POV ❤️28 years ago, at the hospital.CharlesShe had her new born baby swaddled around her arms as she looked at him with so much joy and love, and out of her eyes, were tears of joy. This was her second child, and it was a boy again but she didn't mind, he was a cute little baby boy.Her husband and love of her life stared at his son with loving eyes and cried tears of joy. "Mom?" Her first son called out."Yes darling?""Is this my brother?" He asked."Yes, dear. This is your brother, Axel.""He is so cute. I'm going to love him and cherish him forever.""Yes, Axel."Alice was so excited that she had two adorable sons, and that her eldest son was willing to protect his little brother."What name should we give him?" His dad asked."Hmmm. I didn't really think about this." Alice said as she turned to Axel and smiled. "What do you think, Axel? What name should we give your baby brother?" There was silence, as Axel thought hard about
THE DEAD, COLD AND LIFELESS BODY IN THE POOL OF BLOOD Charles' POV ❤️The whole place became bubbly after Axel gave his little speech and suddenly left for a room. I looked around for any suspicious activity or person but everything was good. Was I overthinking this? The waiter came and offered Bianca and I wine and the possibility of him actually being dangerous crossed my mind. I mean it happens in the movies. After minutes of contemplating whether to accept the drinks or not, I eventually did. He didn't look suspicious to me, but the probability of the drink being poisoned was very high. I sniffed the drink without making it look obvious, and checked for any residue of poison and when I was sure there was none, I drank it after checking the same with Bianca's drink. There was nothing suspicious going on. Was I wrong? Was I being paranoid? Zac and Kumiko joined us later and my attention was divided. I held Bianca so close to me as I watched her smile and laugh to Kumiko's jokes.
GUNSHOTS AND THE DEATH OF SOMEONE UNEXPECTED Jason's POV ❤️I couldn't sleep throughout the night as I was thinking of a way to stop this and when I couldn't come up with one, I slept off. It was morning before I knew it and I was exhausted as I didn't get enough sleep last night and Axel made sure Jane and I had breakfast before leaving. Axel was the one that drove this time and we didn't have blindfolds on."I'll go in first, and you guys go in through the back door. Wait for my command and do everything I tell you to. No messing around." He said as he handed over some airpods to the both of us."Here, put this on. I'll relay whatever message I have for you through those."I put on the airpod, and we drove in silence. I couldn't wait to see Bianca, even though I knew I wasn't going to get close to her, I would be more than glad to see her doing okay. We eventually got to the venue and did exactly as Axel said when we were in the car. Jane and I went through the back door and wait
NINE MORE HOURS UNTIL THE DEATH OF ONE CHARLES BANDRA Jason's POV ❤️"Now, let me brief you in on the plan. The plan is simple by the way, just shoot Charles and don't get fucking caught." "But... I have never shot anyone in my life." I said. The thought of it made me sick to my stomach, but there was no way out and like he said earlier, a life for a life. If I back off from this, not only will I loose my life, but these maniacs wouldn't hesitate to kill Bianca. And that wasn't going to solve the problem. If I die, Axel was just going to hire someone else to finish the job. Axel laughed, and his men laughed along with him."Neither have I, but it is quite simple. Just pull the trigger and your target is eliminated. Isn't that interesting?" Axel said.If he really wanted to kill his brother, why did he need me to do his dirty work for him? Why couldn't one of his men do it? Why did it have to be me? A complete stranger, someone he was just meeting for the first time. Does this mean
