Billionaire Bad Boy, Broken Underneath Chapter 57
Ezra’s POVI still can’t believe what happened. I’ve been sitting behind my desk, trying to distract myself with work but my mind keeps taking me back to the board meeting held earlier today. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that my best friend has been siphoning company funds for months now. What really hurt me the most is that he didn’t see the need to confide in me about his gambling addiction. We would have found a way to pay off the debt and get him the help he needs. I would have done everything in my power to help Jason out.I don’t fault him for battling with the addiction. People go through all kinds of crazy stuff. I’m battling with a lot as well. But then again, I feel so betrayed and hurt. I can’t seem to explain how I really feel. I stare at the words on my screen, unable to actually read anything. I slam my hands down on the table and groan inwardly. Standing up from my chair, I grab my suit jacket from the hanger and head out. I direct my driver to take

Ezra’s POVI called for a full board meeting two days after Denise informed me about the theft. Just this morning, she had told me that she was able to trace the transactions back to Jason’s unit. The audit team Denise organized secretly to look into the matter already has the culprit. I asked that they hold on with the report and bring it into the boardroom when I send for it. I thought about talking to Jason about it first before the meeting but Denise advised against it, saying, I need honest reactions, regardless of whoever might be behind it.I look around from the head of the conference table to see the faces of everyone on the board, seated and staring at me with curious glances and judging by their expressions, they are probably wondering why I called for the emergency board meeting. Jason is seated to my right and Denise to my left.I clear my throat. “My attention has been drawn to an ongoing theft in the company. Millions of dollars are being discreetly siphoned into an of

Carissa’s POVI toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep ever since Ezra told me about the theft issue in his company. I became more concerned after he mentioned Jason. I think back to the suspicious phone call I overheard him have when we visited his house some months ago. And also, the message that popped up on his phone which felt like a threat. I don’t know if I should let Ezra know or not. But what am I going to say to him exactly? I have no tangible evidence whatsoever. And what if all of this has nothing to do with the theft in his company? I don’t want to make false suggestions and jeopardize their friendship. I’m so clueless and I feel like I’m caught in the middle of all of this. I take out my phone and put a call through to my friend, Rachael. If anyone would give me some good advice, it has to be her.“Hey, babes,” her voice comes through from the other end.“Hi, Rach. How are you doing?” I ask, sitting up and pulling the blanket over my knees.“I’m alright. You’re calling

Ezra’s POVI made up with Carissa two days ago and things and things are pretty much back to normal. I had promised her that I’d seek professional help for my alcohol problem. She even agreed to go with me on my first day after I asked if she could accompany me. I really don’t know what I did to deserve Carissa. I know I don’t deserve her but I’m too selfish to let her go. Meeting her family and getting acquainted with them just makes me feel closer to her. They made me feel like I’m a part of their family and it kind of felt like home, being around them. Her mom is very sweet and quite chatty. I wasn’t bored for even a second with her around. I was reminded in that moment what it feels like to have a family and a caring one at that. I missed having my mom and wondered what it would have felt like, introducing Carissa to her as my girlfriend. But I’m sure of one thing. My mom would have loved Carissa. It’s easy to love Carissa. She makes it so easy.“How’s the public reception of t

Carissa’s POV“Come in” I say to whoever it is by my door. Ever since I left Ezra’s house, or he rather asked me to leave his house, I’ve been held up in my room, not really speaking to anyone. Ezra called a few times but I refused to speak to him. I’m still mad at him. He’s refused to acknowledge the fact that he’s drowning and needs help. I don’t know how to help him when he isn’t even giving me a chance to. “Hey, honey” dad says as he comes and sits at the foot of my bed.“Hey, dad” I say, sitting up slightly.“You good?” he asks, observing me.“I’m alright dad” I say, not wanting to admit that I had my first fight with my boyfriend and I’m not feeling okay at all.“You clearly are not. Even your mother noticed” “So, mum sent you here?”“No, she didn’t. She even asked me to give you some space but it’s been a few days now since you got back from Ezra’s house and you've been in your room, barely coming out. Your mum even has to force you to eat most of the time. Did anything happe

Ezra's POVI got discharged from the hospital earlier today after spending three days there. It was a lot more intense this time. My body broke down in a way that was too critical. The doctor said I was lucky I was brought in on time. Carissa stayed in the hospital with me for the entire three days. Her dad visited as well and brought her a change of clothes. We came home earlier and luckily, the press has moved on to other gossip. I no longer have hidden paparazzi camping around my house.I sit up on my bed and grab my MacBook on the side. I haven't been to work in three days and I can't even begin to imagine the pile of work waiting for me. I held a virtual meeting with the investors a few hours ago since a physical meeting wouldn't be possible in the meantime. They refused to postpone the meeting and agreed to a virtual one. I was able to convince them to not pull out of the deal and promised to deal with any issues that may arise. They looked convinced and that took a lot of bur
