All Chapters of Billionaire Bad Boy, Broken Underneath : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Carissa's POV I slowly open my eyes and scan the room. It doesn't look like my room at Ezra’s house. I try to figure out where I am. Events from the previous day flashes through my mind. I remember shopping for groceries with Miss Michelle. We were walking towards the car park with bags of groceries when I felt a sharp pain to my head and I suddenly blacked out. I woke up to find myself in a strange room with my hands and legs. I recognized the lady who sat, staring wickedly at me. She's the same lady whom I caught staring at me at the gala I attended with Ezra. They roughened me up a bit but I still vaguely remember seeing Ezra pull me into his arms before everything went black. Now, I'm waking up in this place which I realize might be a hospital room. The door opens and I look up to see Ezra walk in. He walks up to my bed and sits on the chair beside the bed. I stare down at the IV line taped to the back of my hand, my throat going dry.“Water” I manage to say as Ezra quickly brin

Ezra’s POV Since Carissa left a few days ago, I've been on edge. Snapping at every little thing. My employees have been at the receiving end of it all. The house feels empty without her. Even though I'm not always at home, just knowing she's in my house does something to me. I haven't stopped feeling guilty for being the reason she got hurt and instead of staying by her side, I pushed her away despite all she went through because of me.I remember how I felt seeing her tied up. Taylor had her people armed when I walked in but I didn't mind. I dropped the bag and ran straight to where Carissa was. I didn't mind if I got shot. I had my security team surround the area. Taylor didn't know I came prepared and if she thought for a second I was letting her go after putting Carissa in harm's way, she had to rethink. Bullets began flying around the moment I pulled Carissa into my arms and I knew my team had attacked. Luckily, I was able to get Carissa and myself out of the warehouse without

Ezra’s POV I try to drown myself in work ever since the night at Carissa's house. These past few days, I’ve had to work late into the night just so I could keep my mind occupied and not have to think about her. Seeing her with Malcolm that night had sent me over the edge and I said some things I shouldn't have. I accused her of taking a break from work just so she could spend time with him. It was jealousy speaking but it didn't hurt any less. I hated seeing them together. Then she suddenly quit on the spot. I didn't know how to process that in that moment. I told her to leave if she wanted to. I wasn't wrong though. She needed to get away from me so I don't continue to hurt her. I know I'm damaged and that's why I stayed away from things like this until Carissa. She came into my life and turned everything around, making me break every rule I lived by and I went ahead to ruin it before it even started. Now she's gone and I don't know what to do with myself. I'm livid. Why am I so af

Ezra’s POVI couldn't do it. I just couldn't and I hated the fact that I couldn't. What is wrong with me? What is it proving difficult to get over her? I walked into that hotel room, determined to get her out of my system but just one touch from the lady on the bed and I felt utterly disgusted. I had specifically asked Denise to bring one of the prettiest girls and she did. That lady was stunning and under different circumstances, I would have enjoyed every bit of her but I couldn't because of some 5ft 5 stunning professional chef who quit on me.I round the corner and head up the long drive leading up to my house. I had woken up earlier and decided to go for a run. I head straight to the kitchen when I'm inside. I grab a bottle of water from the fridge to quench my thirst. I send a quick text to Denise, informing her that I would be working from home today. I'm still in a sour mood and I honestly do not have the energy to deal with people today. I take the elevator upstairs and dash

Carissa’s POV I resume work the next day. It's actually good to be back. I think back to the lot that has happened in the past few weeks. From the Taylor incident, to my fallout with Ezra, Malcolm pushing for a second chance, to me quitting my job, I still can't believe I actually did that. And then, there's Ezra’s confession. I'm just so glad the bad is behind us. Now, I'm facing life as a girlfriend to my boss. It still seems unreal. We are actually in a relationship. I'm nervous but I'm looking forward to this new phase and I'm happy I get to explore this with Ezra.Ezra will be home soon so I'm setting up dinner. He called earlier to say he would be home quite early so we can spend some time together before I leave seeing as I no longer live here. I decide to set up a little romantic dinner in the backyard. I have candles set up, wine, food, and the whole flair. I hear Ezra call out my name from inside.“I'm out here” I call out. I'm setting the last piece when I feel arms snake
