Love's Dilemma: The Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 81
FOCUS ON ONLY ME, LITTLE ONEBianca's POV ❤️He took my hands and held it as soon as I left my room."She really hates me." He chuckled softly, and I could sense the sadness in his voice. "It will change, she just doesn't know you that well just like I didn't earlier," I said, trying to reassure him. Kumiko inherited my beef with Charles, and I can't blame her. I just had to tell her how much I was in love with Charles, and that we were dating now."I hope it does," he said. I haven't seen him worry about how people thought of him, this was the first.He smiled at me and went back to his usual cheerful self. The house was quiet, and I loved it that way. There were no sign of any of the workers, and I still haven't set eyes on Audrey. I was getting worried. Was she okay? Or should I get excited that she was finally out of my hair? I just couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right. Axel wasn't here also, and it was a good thing else I would have to witness the both of t

THE GIRL THAT FEARSBianca's POV ❤️"Bianca, this is Wanda." Charles said and took his seat beside me."We dated in high school." Wanda chipped in. My eyes widened as I look back and forth at the both of them. I finally focused my gaze on Charles and he sighed, feeling guilty."She didn't need that information, Wanda." He said in a mimicking tone. I laughed so hard. I wasn't bothered about their relationship in the past, she definitely wasn't like Audrey that I was weary about. Where even is Audrey?"See! She isn't bothered. Come, let's get you all dazzled up." She pulled me off the couch as we were both headed to what looked like a changing room. I blew a kiss at Charles, telling him to relax and that I wasn't bothered about their relationship. In the changing room, Wanda and I laughed so hard. She kept on reminiscing on the time they both dated as I tried on some outfit."And then what happened?" I laughed."He almost beat up the teacher. He and Zac." We both laughed so hard."Char

THE MELODY THAT PLAYS FOR ONLY ME 🤭Charles' POV ❤️The only thing I was concerned about was her. I saw how she panicked. Even though she had managed to stay calm now, I didn't know when next it will hit again. I had once felt like this, the constant guilt, worry, trauma, every day was a nightmare and I just wanted to end it all. But through therapy, I was able to overcome it, I have been able to stay calm whenever I see or hear something that triggers my past traumas. I don't want to ever experience something like that for life, and neither should anyone have to. And it hurt so much seeing how anxious she was. It must have been hard for her. I made a vow to protect her, but I always manage to fail woefully at that. I couldn't even protect her from this. I slowly walked her to the car as her hands squeezed mine tightly. I didn't mind the pain, she must have been going through a lot more. The pain I was going through was nothing compared to what she was feeling. Her breathing calmed

THE ENDING OF A LONG TIME FRIENDSHIP Bianca's POV ❤️Charles wasn't by my side by the time I woke up, did he already leave for work? I remained curled up in bed for a while as I had a flashback of yesterday. It was scary, and I never wanted to feel that way anymore. I didn't know what to do, I was confused and I couldn't have been more glad that Charles was there with me. Who was that lady and what does she want from me? Why do I feel uneasy everytime I see her? I couldn't get her off my mind. "Oh, you're up." I heard his voice and came back to reality, leaving my thoughts far behind me. I managed to stand up and smiled at him. "Are you okay? You look tired," he asked with so much care in his voice.I finally got a full view of his outfit. He wore a suit as usual, but his demeanor looked different this time. He seemed drained out of all his energy in the world, but he still managed to look good looking."I could ask you the same." He dropped the tray of food he was holding earlier

THE DANGER THAT LURKS AROUND MY BELOVED LITTLE ONE, AND AN UNEXPECTED REVEAL!Charles' POV ❤️I parked the car at my usual parking spot and my bodyguards swarmed around me. It has been long I have seen those guys. "Morning, boss." The head bodyguard greeted. They all stood still like statues, one hand on their head in a salut, while the other laid perfectly beside them. "Morning." I said, and the perfectly stilled mannequins shook, probably surprised that I responded to their greetings politely and smoothly. I walked into the building and they all greeted me."Get me something to eat, Lucy." I abruptly said as I walked in my elevator. I was sure she grumbled. I finally relieved her of the unnecessary duties, but here she was doing something I told her she wouldn't do next time. Bianca wasn't well, she needed to rest and hang out with someone she feels comfortable with other than me. I went up the elevator and to my office as I rummaged through the files on my desk. Zac really did a

THE ONE WHO MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL, AND AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR Charles' POV ❤️"Thank you, Mr Tusch. Keep up the good work and please, be careful." I said to him and he left my office.The telephone rang few minutes after he left, and when I picked up the call I was shocked by the news that followed."Good day, Mr Bandra. This is the doctor."The doctor? He was the least person I was expecting to call? Was Ma okay?"Is my mom okay?" I asked without reciprocating his greeting."Honestly, she is not. She is getting better but she still needs little rest. I clearly didn't understand why your brother asked for her to be discharged when she is still recovering.""What? Axel did that? Why didn't you inform me when he was at the hospital? Why didn't you call me or something? You know Ma isn't fully recovered yet and you still went on and discharged her? Is that how professional you claim to be?" I yelled. I knew I shouldn't have relaxed concerning Axel. I should have known he was planning somet

I DON'T WANT HIM TO HATE ME Kumiko's POV ❤️I didn't know how to feel. I couldn't phantom whether I was angry because she was dating him, or whether it was because she didn't tell me about it because of how I was going to react. This was a terrible feeling. As I ran out of the house, I hit my leg and sprained my ankle. Deja Vu? Cause this was sort of reminding me of that time I first met him, the love of my life."Ouch!" I winced from the sharp and sudden pain felt. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked me. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know why I was mad at him in the first place. He definitely wouldn't have known how much I hated Charles, he wouldn't have known that she was my best friend, he wouldn't have known that he should have told me he was Charles' best friend. He wasn't aware of anything, so why was I angry?"What do you want?" I barked."You're hurt. Let me help you up."My vein popped as I grew more frustrated."You knew I was clearly hurt, so why did you ask if I was okay

TALK DIRTY TO ME Zac's POV ❤️I held her face and stared into her beautiful eyes for some time. I missed her. I missed her warmth, I missed her eyes, her lips, I missed everything about her. The way she speaks, the way she makes sense feel, I missed everything about her. I missed my feisty kitty cat. "I don't want to be away from you anymore." I said and I kissed her on the lips. Fuck, I missed this also. I missed her sweet lips and how they locked with mine. I missed how they tasted and how they moved in perfect synchrony with mine.I retracted my lips from hers because if I went any further, I will definitely not be able to stop myself. She dragged me by my shirt and pulled me closer then kissed me back. She knew, she definitely knew I wouldn't be able to control myself anymore. I didn't want to force myself on her, I wanted it to be on her own freewill. She placed her hands on my chest as she kissed me, making me fall in deeper into her mouth. With my left hand now on her neck,

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
Love's Dilemma: The Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 115
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
Love's Dilemma: The Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 112
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
