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

    MIDNIGHT TEXTS!Charles' POV ❤️I got to a five star hotel and checked in. The receptionist seemed to know who I was, and offered me preferential treatment. The hotel was manageable, but mine was way better. It was late at night, and I was extremely tired. I needed to rest.I got to my room for the night, and collapsed on the bed. I should freshen up, I was sweaty. I also promised to call Bianca later, I should do that too.It was quite shocking that I didn't have her number and I had to go through Mr Matthew in order to talk to her. I should get her number but it was late, I didn't know if she was still going to be awake by this time. And then there was her best friend. She hates me."Master Charles?!" Mr Tusch answered sleepily after he picked up my call. "I'm sorry to be calling so late at night, but I need a favour from you." I requested. He was the only one I could think of right now."It's nothing, Sir. Is everything alright? How can I be of help to you?" He sounded honest. I

    FAREWELL, GREEN ISLAND! Bianca's POV ❤️It had been up to a week now since I came to this island, and more than three days since I last saw Charles. We would chat everyday, most especially at night. There was this one time Kumiko caught me talking to him, and she teased me throughout the whole day about it.I miss him so much. I was glad I was finally leaving here and was going to see him very soon. I had had my fun here with Kumi, it was now time to leave. I will miss the island, I will miss the peace and comfort it brought. I will miss the sea, the forest. I will miss the bonfire and the night breeze. Most of all, I will definitely miss Mr Matthew."It is so sad to say goodbye now." I said to Mr Matthew.We were both waiting for Charles' private jet, it was going to be here any moment from now. I was ready, but I wasn't so sure about Kumi. She looked like she wasn't ready to part with this place yet."Yadaaa. I don't want to go, I want to stay longer here." She whined.She really w

    HIS LIPS ON MINE - A TASTE OF HEAVEN! Bianca's POV ❤️"I missed you" I could sense his troubles as I hugged him back. I wanted to help relieve his stress, but I didn't know how to. His hot breath tickled my ear and made me shiver. He was so close to me and for some reason, I felt happy. He stopped hugging me, and just stared at me. I was about to melt anytime soon. Why was he looking at me that way?He held my face with his fairly large hands, and smiled at me genuinely. I was happy. The last time I saw him, he had forced a smile at me. I was glad he was doing okay. He ran both hands down my cheeks, and I giggled."That tickles." I giggled. He didn't stop. Instead, he continued and ran them faster on my face and I laughed so hard. "You finally laughed." He suddenly said, and I stopped laughing. I could feel him. I could feel his gaze on my lips. His crystal blue eyes looked so magical from this distance. I stared at his lips too, and wanted nothing more than to kiss them. Since

    HATE TO LOVE YOU Bianca's POV ❤️I slammed the door shut in frustration as I left his room. How dare he do that to me? I rested my back against the door, as I let the tears flow. What was wrong with me? Don't tell me I was actually falling in love with Charles? "There's no way that can happen." I whispered to myself as I wiped my tears with the back of my hands."Hey!" A voice sounded, and I was scared to death. I looked over while wiping my tears from my eyes to see who it was. It was Zac. I forced a smile at him."Is everything okay? Did Charles say anything stupid to you?" He asked me with concern. Was it a good thing to tell his best friend what happened? Was it alright to tell him I was a fool for thinking and wishing there was something that could have happened between us? Tears welled up in my eyes again, but I couldn't let them drop, definitely not in front of Zac."Are you sure you're okay? You can talk to me." He said.That was really sweet of him, but I didn't deal wel

    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

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?

    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

    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.

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
