Love's Dilemma: The Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 53
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

HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER.Jane's POV ❤️I couldn't stop. I wouldn't stop. I hit his head over and over and over and over again, but never got satisfied. I laughed like a maniac, as I hit Bob's head over and over with the frypan. Blood was everywhere, his blood. On my hands, the floor, my dress, it was everywhere. A little bit of blood splattered on my face, and I stopped hitting his head, and threw the frypan on the floor and as it touched the floor, blood splashed on my naked body and even in my mouth. The frypan was already condemned, I couldn't use it again. What a waste!I used the back of my hand to wipe the blood on my face, but it didn't seem to help much as my face got covered in his blood the more. I crossed my arms, stood there and watched his now lifeless body. I just murdered someone, but I didn't feel bad about it. I felt ecstatic. I felt relieved, I was happy. Bob deserved it. If I didn't do that, someone else might, so it was nice I did it before the person did. Th

A PLAN TO GET AWAY WITH MURDERJane's POV ❤️I got out of the bathroom, and put on an all black outfit to blend in with the darkness of the night. I had to stay hidden, and unnoticed too. It was almost dark, just few more hours and I could have some peace of mind. I had a plan to get rid of his body, but I still didn't know if it was going to work. I got out of my room holding a towel in my hands, and drying my hair with it. I just had to be patient. There was nothing to do. I was bored. I went and made something to eat, turned on the TV and watched the news. There was nothing interesting going on in town, but something exciting was about to happen. I could feel it.By the time my food was done cooking, it was already in the night. All that was left was to wait a little more till it was quiet and darker. I ate my food while watching TV and waited. I glanced over at Bob's body and smirked."Just a little longer, and you will finally be put to rest." It was finally dark outside, and

HOW I GOT AWAY WITH MURDERJane's POV ❤️I woke up after such a long sleep and I was still extremely tired. I had things to do and I couldn't rest yet. It wasn't over already. I had to burn my dress, and every other things that could implicate me. I couldn't burn my blood-stained dress downstairs where my neighbors would see me. I got up from my couch feeling exhausted, and a yawn escaped from my mouth. I picked up my dress and the gloves I had on last night. I took a lighter from the kitchen and alcohol cause I didn't have any gasoline to increase the fire.I went straight to the bathroom to burn them. I couldn't think of a better place to do it. If I went to the kitchen, there was a high chance my kitchen was going to catch fire and burn. If I did it in my living room, the smell was going to attract the neighbors and I didn't want that to happen. The fire alarm was going to ring, and people were going to poke their noses in my business. The bathroom seemed safer.I poured the alc

MRS FELICE, THE MIND READER!Charles' POV ❤️"Mr Charles!" My therapist, Mrs Felice sang. I never thought I was going to see her again. I tried to form a smile, but she noticed it. I never really liked her, she was too observant and it was creepy. I couldn't hide anything from her, she was like a mind-reader and I found it annoying."Look how grownup you have become." She said. She was trying to remain cheerful, and not give in to my indifference. I didn't want to be here, I don't want to have to go through this stage again. I don't trust people easily, and Mrs Felice was definitely not one of the people I trusted. I saw her as someone providing services for me. She was only doing her job and nothing more."As supposed, Mrs Felice." I replied bluntly.I drove here. I had things to do at the office, but I ended up coming here even though I didn't want to be here. "Have your seat." She said to me.I sat down on a black sofa. This place hasn't changed one bit. It was still as annoying

IN YOUR ARMS, AGAIN!BIANCA'S POV ❤️I reached for an apple slice, but paused mid-motion when I noticed Charles. He hadn’t touched his burger. Instead, he was staring at his hands, his fingers clasped tightly together as if grounding himself.There was something different about him—something hesitant, almost fragile, and entirely unlike the Charles I was used to. The quiet between us stretched, the tension growing as he shifted slightly in his seat."Bianca," he said at last, breaking the silence, his voice soft and trembling.I glanced up from my apple, his tone catching my attention and catching me off guard. His burger sat untouched on the table, the scent of melted cheese and grilled beef wafting faintly in the air. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. He wasn’t looking at me but instead at his hands, which were clasped tightly together that his knuckles were beginning to turn white."No matter what happens," he said slowly, his voice almost a whisper, "and no matte

THE REUNION Bianca's POV ❤️The soft hum of a machine accompanied the warmth of sunlight that streamed through the thin hospital curtains, pooling on the bed, warming my face and forcing me awake. The hospital room smelled faintly of antiseptic, but the warmth of strong arms around my waist made it feel less lonely. The room was quiet, save for the faint hum of the heater and the steady rhythm of someone breathing beside me.Blinking against the light, I turned my head slowly, my heart softening at the sight of Charles sleeping next to me, his face mere inches from mine. In sleep, he looked so peaceful. His features, usually sharp with worry and determination, were relaxed while he was asleep. His furrowed brow relaxed, the usual tension in his jaw gone as it was no longer clenched as it usually was, and the faint lines on his forehead had smoothed out. It was as though the weight of the world on his shoulders had finally lifted for the first time in ages, leaving him at ease. His

HOPE IS MORE THAN FLEETING Bianca's POV ❤️The bright and shimmering moonlight streamed through the hospital window, casting a dimly glow to the room, a perfect illustration to the situation at hand. The air smelled faintly of disinfectant, mingling with the quiet hum of machines nearby. Jason sat beside me, the weight of his presence both familiar and strange.He reached into his pocket, pulling out a small velvet box. My breath caught as he opened it, revealing the earrings I had left at his place when I decided to stay with Charles—those delicate, silver, and shimmering in the light. I thought I would never get to see it again, and I could tell that this was his way of saying goodbye.Before I could find the words to apologize, to tell him I was sorry for doubting him, Jason stood up. I watched him walk away, each step feeling like a door closing. He had never cheated on me. He had told the truth, but I hadn’t believed him. My mistrust had cost us both so much, and now there was n

HOPE, AND THE START OF SOMETHING NEW!JASON'S POV ❤️The nurse led me through the dimly lit hospital corridor to the room where Bianca was staying. Each step I took felt heavier, as if my guilt was weighing me down. The soft shuffle of her shoes against the tiles echoed faintly, but all I could focus on was the growing tightness in my chest.When we arrived, I hesitated outside the door. She stopped beside me, her expression urging me to go in, but I only nodded in gratitude, too afraid that speaking might somehow disturb Bianca.The door was left slightly ajar, enough for me to see inside. There she was, lying pale and fragile on the hospital bed, her pale face illuminated by the dim glow of the bedside monitor. The sight made my stomach churn— she looked so fragile, so unlike the Bianca I knew.Charles was there beside her, murmuring softly. His expression was a mixture of sorrow and hope as he held her hand. His hands clutching hers as if letting go would shatter her, mostly him. F

HELLO, GOODBYE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN Jason's POV ❤️I paced about the hospital room, my steps echoing faintly in the silence. My mind was a tangle of worry, prayers, and guilt, as I silently prayed for Bianca. She was in surgery, and things could either go south or smoothly. I couldn’t stop myself from hoping— no, begging— that everything would turn out fine.The nurses barely gave me anything to work with earlier. I wasn’t family or anyone with the right to know much about her condition. I was lucky one of them even acknowledged me when I asked.“She’s in surgery,” the nurse had said, her tone clipped.That was hours ago, and there was still no news.Bianca is in surgery. Charles was probably there with her, along with her best friend. They were closer to her than I had ever been. They would be worried sick too, probably more worried than I was. What would I even do if I went there? Stand in a corner like a ghost? It would only make things awkward if I went there.Finally, I sat

THE BEGINNING OF THE END VCharles's POV ❤️Bianca was wheeled out of the surgery room, and as the doctor said earlier, she needed rest. The nurses moved her carefully, guiding the stretcher down the brightly lit corridor toward the recovery ward. My heart ached with each step they took— she looked so fragile, so small, and I could tell she was fighting for her life even now.I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Relief that she was alive flooded me, but it was tangled with fear. Would she be okay? Truly okay? No matter what happened, no matter how much the future scared me, I vowed to stand by her. She didn’t just make me happy; she was my happiness.The sound of the stretcher wheels squeaking echoed in the quiet hallway. Kumiko and Zac walked behind me, their expressions grim, the weight of the day etched on their faces. Kumiko rubbed her arms, restless and visibly drained, while Zac stuck close to her side, glancing at her with concern every now and then.When we reached Bianca’s new ro

WHEN RELIEF FEELS HEAVY Charles's POV ❤️ I left the police station with a heavy heart, driving back to the hospital with a storm of emotions brewing inside me. I drove back to the hospital, my mind a chaotic swirl of emotions after seeing Axel. The revelation about the fire was a relief, yes, but it was tangled with a fresh wave of anger and sadness. For years, I carried that guilt— therapy sessions, sleepless nights, replaying every moment in my mind. And to learn it was Axel all along? I didn’t know whether to feel liberated or crushed. Tears blurred my vision as I gripped the steering wheel. I let them fall this time, the weight of everything pressing against me. Axel’s betrayal, Bianca’s condition— it felt as though I couldn’t catch my breath. Should I be relieved? Heartbroken? It was all too much. By the time I reached the hospital, I had managed to wipe my face and steel my nerves. Now wasn’t the time to break down. Bianca needed me. We both needed me to stay strong. I neede

GOODBYE, AXEL!Charles's POV ❤️I was torn between staying at the hospital with Bianca and going to the police station to confront Axel. Every fiber of my being wanted to stay by her side, but I needed answers. I needed to know why my brother did what he did. I needed answers.The drive to the station was nerve-wracking. My hands tightened on the steering wheel as countless scenarios played in my head. Would he show remorse? Would he admit to everything? My chest ached just thinking about it.The police station loomed ahead, its dull gray exterior reflecting my mood. Inside, the air felt cold, sterile. Every step I took seemed heavier, and I could feel the stares from officers as I walked past. Their whispers were faint but unmistakable: “That’s him… the brother.” Shame and anger burned in my chest. This was not how I ever imagined coming here. Heck! I never even planned on visiting a police station, ever.Of course, the news hadn’t spread yet, but it was only a matter of time before

THE UNEXPECTED TWIST AND THE START OF SOMETHING NEW Jason's POV ❤️Time felt like it had stopped. Everything around me was dark and quiet— eerily quiet. The only light came from a faint glow in the room, flickering as if it might disappear any second. It looked like Axel, Jane, and the rest had left. If they were still here, they’d have noticed even the smallest movement I was making.I was alive, but barely. Breathing was a struggle, each gasp sharp and shallow, each beat of my heart weaker than the last. How I was still alive was a mystery. How was I still here after the shots fired, after the pain that ripped through my body?I could still hear it all. I could still hear the gunshot echoing in my ears, the sharp crack of the pistol playing on a loop in my mind. Jane’s screams still haunted me, too, blending with the relentless pain from the bullet wound.The cold, sticky pool beneath me felt endless. Every attempt to move was agony, but staying still wasn’t an option. I dragged mys
