All Chapters of Billionaire Bad Boy, Broken Underneath : Chapter 51 - Chapter 57

Carissa’s POV I was sorting out my laundry when the call from Jason came in. Apparently, Ezra had passed out and they were currently at the hospital. I panicked and was almost losing my mind. Jason tried to get me to calm down over the phone. I informed my parents about the situation and dad offered to drive me to the hospital but Jason had already sent a car over to bring me to the hospital where Ezra was admitted. Olivia helped me pack an overnight bag because I wasn't in the right frame of mind to do anything. My entire thoughts were on Ezra. What happened? I know our communication these past days hasn't been very frequent. I know he has been busy but I couldn't help but feel he was avoiding me on purpose. The few times we talked, he never mentioned being sick. I would have been right next to him, damn the press.Now, I'm seated beside Ezra's hospital bed, staring at his unconscious frame. This is the same hospital he was brought to the last time. Ezra seems tired and weak. He ha

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

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 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
