Love's Dilemma: The Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 82
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
Love's Dilemma: The Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 88
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

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
