Love's Dilemma: The Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 97
SHE ISN'T JUST MY DATE FOR TONIGHT, SHE IS MORE THAN THAT.Charles' POV ❤️Today was the d-day. I was nervous and excited at the same time. It was all for mom, everything was for mom. I was going to keep Bianca safe and protect her from whatever evil Axel was planning. He didn't come home last night too and I couldn't help but worry about it. What was he planning? I thought to myself as I adjusted my tie. Bianca, Kumi and Ma were with the makeup artist and since it was Ma's special day, they insisted on getting one to make her look extra beautiful. After 5 hours and what felt like forever, they were finally done with preparing and we were ready to go to the venue. My eyes couldn't believe the lady I saw. Was that my girlfriend? Was that my woman? She looked extremely stunning, gorgeous, beautiful, to mention a few. My heart was racing fast as she walked towards me with a smile planted on her face. "Wow!" I said when she was in front of me. She giggled and did a 360 turn for me. I

MEETING THE BOSSJason's POV ❤️After Jane hung up, she got a call telling her to get ready to move. We left my house and ordered a ride to take us to a certain location I wasn't aware of, all I knew was I had to follow the boss's every instruction in order to keep Bianca safe.We got down from the car on getting to the location, and Jane received a call again."Yes, we are already here." She said. Was this the place we were going to meet the boss? Whoever he is."Walk straight ahead and don't look back. Ever." Jane said to me.I did as she said and had to control myself from looking back. After getting to a certain spot, Jane's phone rang and I guessed it was another set of instruction we had to follow. The person contacting Jane, whoever that may be must be close by. As curiosity would have it, I turned from side to side to find out where this unknown caller was because he or she seemed to know our every move and told us when to stop and where. It couldn't have been a coincidence, t

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

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

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.

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

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 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

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

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
