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,

ARE YOU A STALKER?Bianca's POV ❤️I excused the both of them cause it looked like they were about to make out. I giggled like a toddler when the taught of Kumi making out with someone crossed my mind. I was happy for my best friend, she finally had someone that loves her and cares deeply for her. I brought out my phone and dialed Charles' number. If I remember clearly, he said he was going back to work. My phone was still ringing and he hadn't picked up yet, maybe he was busy."Hey little one, you good?" he said softly when he picked and I blushed from how smooth and reassuring his voice sounded."Yeah, I am. What about you?" "I wish you were here with me. I am currently staring at some files and I have no idea what is happening or what to do with it. My head is spinning." I laughed. This was the first time I have heard him complain about work. Maybe I could help him with it."What is it about? Tell me. Let me in on it." I asked, but he just laughed. What was that laugh supposed t

Love's Dilemma: The Ruthless Billionaire Appreciation/We are finally done
Hi, readers ❤️ We have finally come to end of this chapter. Words can't reveal how much this means to me 💞 It took me two years or more to complete this book (I lost count), but I'm finally done. Yayyyyy 🥳💅 Thanks to everyone who was still sticking around with me even after my irregular uploads and updates. Thank you so much for trusting me and trusting the process cause it got to a point where I wasn't even sure of what I was doing. This is my first novel ever but in my opinion, it turned out far better than I had imagined (I tried for my first attempt). I made lots of errors, deviated from the story line a little bit, and there were days where I felt like giving up, but I'm extremely glad I didn't and that I pushed through. "You wouldn't know unless you try!" This has been my go to quote, my inspiration whenever I felt like giving up. Although it took me two years to complete it, there's no need for me to be hard on myself. So, this is my special thanks to everyone for stickin

HAPPILY EVER AFTER EPILOGUEBianca's POV ❤️"Charlesssss, hurry!!!" I screamed, a hint of impatience in my voice. "My gosh, what’s taking you so long?""Coming, babe!" Charles called back, but there was still no sign of him.Charles and I had been living on the island—my island—for a week now. He seemed to be starting to forget the weight of what happened to his brother, or maybe he was just trying to forget. One thing I knew for sure was how much happier he seemed now. He wasn’t completely over the past, but he was making progress, letting go of the guilt he had carried for so long.Since I owned the island now, I invited Zac and Kumiko to join us. It would be more fun with all of us together, and they were already on their way.I heard the door open behind me, followed by a hand wrapping around my waist. Charles kissed my neck, and I shivered. Now wasn’t the time for this. I couldn’t get distracted right now."Hey, little one. Sorry I took so long.""It's fine." I replied, but then

THE END OF A LOVE STORY Charles's POV ❤️ Bianca’s tears flowed freely, soaking into my shoulder as I held her close. Her trembling shoulders pressed against me, and I couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride and relief. I stroked her hair gently as she cried tears of joy into my shoulder. Each soft sob echoed the overwhelming happiness she felt. Seeing her this happy—it made everything worth it. She was happy, and that was all that mattered to me. Her grip on the documents tightened as though she feared they might disappear if she let go. “I love you so much, Bianca,” I whispered, my voice thick with emotion. “I love you more than I can ever say. Thank you for staying with me.” She pulled back slightly, just enough to look into my eyes, her own brimming with gratitude. “Charles, thank you for everything. Thank you for believing in me, for fighting for me, for... this.” Her gaze flicked down to the papers in her hands. "Thank you for everything, Charles. Thank you," she said betwee

THE BEGINNING OF THE END VIJason's POV ❤️The bar wasn’t crowded, but it wasn’t quiet either. A low hum of conversations mixed with clinking glasses created a steady rhythm. I sat in a corner booth, my fingers nervously tapping against the wooden table. The glow of the overhead light made the transparent liquid in my glass shimmer, but I hadn’t touched it. It had been three weeks since I met Mabel. Three weeks since she found me broken, bleeding, and lost. And now, even after I had been discharged from the hospital, she was still here. I couldn’t shake the thought—why does she care so much?I didn’t deserve her kindness. I hadn’t even fully healed emotionally. I still haven't fully gotten over Bianca yet, even though I knew she had found her happiness elsewhere. Meeting Mabel had been like finding a lifeline I didn’t know I needed. But was it fair to her? “Hey, Jason,” a familiar voice called out, soft yet vibrant. I glanced up and spotted Mabel near the entrance of the bar we h

WELCOME TO GREEN ISLAND II Bianca's POV ❤️ We had finally arrived at the island, and the sight before me stole my breath all over again. The expanse of the crystal-clear ocean shimmered under the golden sun, its waves crashing gently against the shore in a soothing rhythm. The air carried a salty tang, mingled with the earthy scent of the surrounding forest, which seemed greener and more vibrant than I remembered. As Charles and I stepped off the jet, my arm wrapped snugly around his, I couldn’t help but drink it all in. Everything felt surreal, like stepping into a painting that was somehow more alive than reality. It was astounding. Standing by the dock, Mr. Matthews was already waiting for us. It was almost as if he had some sixth sense for our arrival—or maybe he had just been standing there for hours, keeping himself entertained with the ocean waves, but the warm smile on his face showed no sign of impatience. In the distance stood the house, the only structure on the is

THE START OF A NEW BEGINNING Charles's POV ❤️It was finally the day to leave for the island. Mr. Tusch was driving, and Bianca and I sat in the backseat. She hummed a cheerful tune, her legs swinging back and forth like an overexcited kid. I couldn’t help but marvel at how effortlessly childish she could be. The drive was smooth, and soon, we arrived at my private airport. My jet stood waiting, sleek and ready for takeoff. Mr. Tusch brought the car to a halt. The moment the engine cut off, Bianca flung the door open and bolted toward the jet, her excitement spilling over. Meanwhile, my bodyguards approached. Two opened the door for me while the others began unloading the luggage from the trunk. “Welcome, Master Charles,” they chorused, their voices perfectly synchronized. Bianca paused mid-step when she realized I wasn’t following her. She turned back, hands on her hips, her expression somewhere between amused and impatient. “See you soon, Master Charles,” Mr. Tusch said w

REST WELL, MOTHER!Charles's POV ❤️It had been two weeks since Bianca was discharged from the hospital. With consistent physiotherapy and medication, she could walk again—though she still needed the wheelchair on some days.I glanced at the clock for the hundredth time in ten minutes, tapping my foot impatiently. Bianca was taking forever."Bianca!" I yelled, my voice carrying a mix of frustration and amusement."Coming, babe! Just five more minutes!" she called back, her tone cheerful.She'd been saying "five more minutes" for over an hour now. At this rate, we would miss the event entirely and that couldn't happen.I sighed in defeat and sank onto the couch, switching on the TV."...and in other news, Axel Bandra, the brother of business tycoon and multi billionaire Charles Bandra, has been found guilty and arrested for murder. Yes, you heard that right. Axel admitted to his crimes, along with several others, and is set to face trial tomorrow. He..."The reporter’s voice droned on,

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
