Love's Dilemma: The Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 49
A BLOODY REUNION AMONG BROTHERS Charles' POV ❤️Mr Tusch circled around the compound of the hospital looking for a suitable place to park the car and avoid being seen by the reporters. This wasn't looking good. Who told them? Was Ma okay? Ma! I got worried instantly. Murmurs filled the air and the reporters tried to get a word or two from the man that came out of the hospital. Who was he? He shuffled around them and struggled to make a path for himself to escape them. Looks like he succeeded and I smiled, feeling happy for him. Reporters were the worst. I had always hated them from the beginning even before I got to be a CEO. They were trouble and it was quite hard to avoid them since I made a name for myself.He couldn't stop panting for air and I felt terrible for him. It must have been difficult trying to get away from them. The reporters were gaining on him and he ran for his dear life, afraid they might catch up to him again. Poor guy. I scrambled on the seat and tried to get

MA'S DYING WISH!Charles' POV ❤️I took a deep breath and nodded. This was it. She opened the door and I walked inside and she followed after me. My heart wouldn't stop beating fast. I was nervous. What if she doesn't forgive me? "He is here now, Madam." Miss Vee announced and walked out of the room. Ma lifted the tea cup from her face to look at me. We both stared at each other and said nothing. She gave me the warmest smile and tears dripped down my face. I couldn't control them."Ma." I cried out. I could see my mother's soft and beautiful face. Grey hair was starting to form on her head, she was getting old. How long has it been now? I can't remember. "Ma." I repeated and wiped the tears running down my cheeks but they wouldn't stop flowing. "Awww my sweet boy. Come sit." She said and I obeyed like a baby. I wiped my tears and looked at her."Tea?" She asked me. I nodded negatively but she still went ahead to pour me some to drink. We both sipped our tea in silence and I thought o

CARING FOR THE ENEMY Bianca's POV ❤️It became extremely lonely and quiet after he left. I stared into the distant space and reminisced on the time we just had now. What could have happened that made him react that way? For once, he didn't give me his cunningly looking gaze. He even faked a smile. I had never seen him look like that before, he looked extremely frightened.I let out a big sigh and Mr Matthew came to my side and handed me a blanket. I should ask him about it. "Here you go, Miss Bianca. I will prepare dinner for you." He said. I wasn't hungry, I had had dinner with Charles earlier. The cereal we had was more than enough to fill my tummy."I'm not hungry." I replied and formed a smile. "But... Miss Bianca, you only had cereal for dinner. I am pretty sure that wasn't enough." He argued. "Charles made it for me, so I am not even hungry." I said. I missed him already. I just hoped everything was okay with him. "But...""Mr Matthew?" I cut him off unknowingly. My eyes wer

ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH HIM?!Bianca's POV ❤️The ray of sunshine shone brightly and hit me on my face, and I was forced to wake up. I could scent the sweet and savory flavor of breakfast as it wavered around my nose. My tummy grumbled and it echoed in the bedroom, I guess I was hungry. Maybe that cereal I had for dinner wasn't exactly enough as Mr Matthew said.I got out of bed and went to the kitchen. Mr Matthew was busy making something and I smiled. "Good morning, Miss Bianca." He said delightfully and cracked two eggs into a bowl. "Good morning, Mr Matthew." I replied."And how was Miss Bianca's night? Hope you had a good rest." "I sure did. This place is amazing and oddly comfortable." I said. It felt really relaxing here. Maybe it was the fact that I was surrounded by the things I loved. I really love it here. "Yours?" I asked. It was rude not to ask him about his since he made effort to ask about mine."I am very glad you did. And I too definitely had a good sleep." He respond

THE ENEMY ARRIVES AT THE MONSTER'S CAVE.Charles' POV ❤️Ma smiled broadly and all I kept on thinking about was me not letting her down. It was impossible for me to decline her request now. There was no way the both of us could ever live together under the same roof, in the same place in peace and harmony. We were barely into five minutes when I arrived at the hospital and I almost ended his life. How was I ever going to restrain from killing him when we lived together?"Don't forget, Zac. You know what to do." Ma said and Zac nodded. What was it that she had planned this time? We were all leaving until Ma called out and told me to stay behind. "Charles? Wait." She said in the softest voice ever. Was everything okay? "You both can take your leave now." She said, referring to both Axel and Zac. She waited for the both of them to leave and when she was sure that they both had left and the door was closed, that was when she reacted. "Charles..." She spoke and I gulped. I didn't like th

THE THING FROM THE PAST Charles' POV ❤️The alarm went off for the umpteenth time today and everytime it did, I got frustrated. Can't I just have a great moment of sleep for once in my life? It finally stopped and I couldn't be more grateful for the silence that came after.I closed my eyes slowly and was about to go back to sleep when it sounded again. What in the world was going on? I screamed into my pillow in frustration and got up from bed. "I'm up, I'm up. Now, shut up!" I screamed in frustration to an inanimate object and proceeded to switch it off for good. A thing that didn't want me to have peace of mind. I checked the time and saw I was already late for work. I woke up late, but I was still very tired. I still needed more sleep. It was to my advantage that I was the CEO and my own boss, so there was no need to worry about getting late only to get scolded by an angry boss. My eyes widened in sudden realization; I was the angry boss. I wasn't the least lenient when it came

LUCY THE RECEPTIONISTCharles' POV ❤️"... Okay, Master Charles. I understand." Mr Tusch said. The silence after that was needed. I was exhausted but I had to go to work today. We got to the office eventually and lucky for us, there was no traffic. My bodyguards were out in the front as usual, waiting for me to arrive in order for them to escort me to my office. "Good day, Sir." They all chanted with their head bowed slightly. I hummed and walked as fast as I could since I was already late and they followed behind, trying to catch up with me. "Good morning, Sir." My receptionist said to me as soon as I walked into the building. I looked at her and she smiled. "Any calls yet? What are my schedules for today?" I asked her. I didn't have enough time to read all of my emails earlier so I didn't know what she had planned for today, as I have been absent from work for more than a day.She pressed the laptop in front of her like a pro, and when she found what she was looking for, she smil

HAR DU EN DÖDSÖNSKAN?Charles' POV ❤️The landline in my office rang, it was from Lucy. What could be the problem this time around? "Hello, Sir." She said. "What is the problem?" I asked her. "I'm sorry for the disturbance, but someone is here to see you." She said. Who could it be? The last time someone came here to see me, I didn't like it. To be honest, I wasn't expecting Audrey's surprise visit that day. I know it was a surprise, but never would I have thought she was going to come. I didn't like surprises, maybe this time it could be Axel. My blood boiled as soon as I had that thought. "Who is it?" I asked in all seriousness. I was sure she was terrified by my tone. "He says h-his na-m-me is Z-ac, Sir." She stuttered. She was terrified as I had predicted. Oh, it was just Zac. Thank goodness, but what was he doing here? "He can come in." I said but this time, I said calmly after hearing it was Zac and not Axel. "Alright, sir." She paused. "...I will bring him up in your pri

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
Love's Dilemma: The Ruthless Billionaire CHAPTER 106
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
