The Billionaire’s Cook
“Tell me, baby. Are you wet for me?” He asked as he licked the shell of my ear, his tongue lashing out deliciously.
I stifled a whimper and shook my head.
“You dirty liar,” he growled. “The next time you lie to me I’m going to bend you over the nearest surface and spank the truth out of you.”
***
When Manhattan’s most successful billionaire, Alessio Castelli, hires me to be his personal cook, I’m determined not to fall for him.
Too bad he’s simply too hot to resist.
He says I’m not his type, but he watches me like I’m his next obsession… and when his control finally snaps, he claims me as his, unable to stay away from me.
What starts as temptation quickly turns into something far more dangerous; because men like Alessio don’t love. They possess.
Just when I begin to believe I might mean more to him than a secret in his bed, a previous lover from his past returns… pregnant and claiming the child is his.
Now I’m trapped between the man who refuses to let me go and the kind of heartbreak that will ruin me for good, because I’m already hopelessly in love with him.
And the worst part?
Walking away from him might be harder than staying.

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTYCoralineThe first thing Zia Lucia did was grab a crystal glass and pour a deep ruby wine into it before holding the glass out to me.“Don’t worry,” she said when I accepted it. “Alessio told us you don’t drink alcohol. So this is dealcoholized. A rare vintage reserved for private tastings from the family vineyard.”I took a sip and the texture felt warm and velvety sliding down my throat. I tasted hints of cherry and plum and was immediately in love with the taste.“It’s really good!” I told her honestly.She chuckled bashfully just as nonna announced a few feet away that dinner was starting.We moved to one of the long tables where Alessio’s dad, Lorenzo, sat at one end of it. I hadn’t been able to personally wish him since he had been surrounded by a lot of family friends and well-wishers the moment he stepped out but I hoped I caught an opportunity to do so before the night ended.Leo pulled out the chair next to me and Chiara sat on my other side, immediately pulling out her phon

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-TWENTY-NINECoralineMy gaze swept over the number of people gathered around in clusters with drinks in their hands and laughter on their faces.Before I could take in a full breath to brace myself, nonna suddenly appeared in front of us with a beaming smile.“The dress looks perfect on you. I got your measurements out of Alessio and he couldn’t have been more accurate.”Surprise flickered across my expression and I shot a quick glance at Alessio beside me as his hand on my back tightened imperceptibly.“Grazie, nonna. I love it.” I told her.“Come. Let’s go introduce you to everyone. They’re all excited to meet you.”Following her through the throng of guests, we approached a large group gathered near one of the tables.Nonna clapped her hands once to get their attention. “Tutti, c’è una nuova aggiunta in famiglia. Facciamole un bel benvenuto.” She eyed Tommy and the girl with the clear accent I had talked to earlier who were both standing off to the side. “E comportatevi al meglio.”(Everyone,

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-TWENTY-EIGHTCoralineAfter taking a quick shower, I styled my hair and slipped into the dress, struggling with the zipper at the back.The door opened at that same moment and Alessio stepped in. He immediately moved to help out with the zipper and I tried my hardest to control my body’s reaction to him as he stood close behind me.My emotions were ping-ponging wildly and I didn’t know which one to focus on.On one hand, I was pissed that he had left me all by myself for most of the day, and that he hadn’t told me about his dad’s condition. On the other, I felt a warm glow towards him because of how he had rejected Sofía.Our relationship was fake so I hadn’t expected much from him. He could have obliged her request and as long as nobody found out, I didn’t have any right to complain.But he had respected me regardless and for that, I couldn’t really hold on to my anger anymore.At the end, I just settled on keeping mute because it was easier.But of course he had to break the silence.“You look…

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-TWENTY-SEVENCoralineI used one of the side exits, not wanting to be noticed by anyone in the courtyard outside yet.As I followed an alternate path which would still lead me to where they most likely went, my mind came up with the most unsettling reasons why Sofía had pulled Alessio away to somewhere more private.I quickened my steps and finally reached a row of tall hedges blocking off the entrance to a garden corner.Peeking past the leaves, I saw them standing facing each other next to a stone bench with about two feet of space between them.Sofía was saying something to him in Italian, her expression soft but serious, and I quickly brought out my phone to translate the words so I could eavesdrop better.“… pretty serious.” Her tone sounded earnest as she looked up at him with round innocent eyes. “I know you’re in love now and I’m happy for you. I’ve made up my mind to move on and get over my feelings but it’s really difficult for me. So would you help me out?”I looked up to see a line of

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-TWENTY-SIXCoralineOutwardly, I tried to smile to conceal the fact that I was slightly panicking on the inside.What was Alessio’s plan exactly? His family was happy now that he had a serious girlfriend but what would happen when we inevitably went our separate ways after this?Or worse, what if one of them saw through our act and everything blew up in our faces?I would be the one to carry the brunt of the damage and the love and care they were all showing me now would vanish in an instant.Plus, I felt ten times more guilt now knowing I was only here as part of a contract to clear off my debt.“Stai bene?” Martina’s fingers gently touched my knee in concern.(Are you okay?)I quickly nodded and wiped all traces of what I was thinking from my expression before grabbing one of the leather hardcovers.I opened it to the first page and it was of a couple in a church, the woman in a wedding gown and the man in a sharp black suit.“That’s Karina and Lorenzo, Alessio’s parents.” Martina said in Ital

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-TWENTY-FIVECoralineEverything went from calm to chaotic within the blink of an eye.After getting back from the airport, I left Alessio to catch up with his cousin and hung out with Martina for the rest of the day. She taught me a few creative curse words in Italian and made Enrico drive us around the estate in a golf cart, showing me the pools, olive groves and tree-lined paths.For a heavily pregnant woman, she sure had a lot of energy in her.Then the next day came and I woke up to double the amount of staff that were usually around.Most of them were polishing the floors and windows, some were going in and out of the kitchen, and the rest were outside, setting up long banquet tables in the courtyard.I stood immobile for a moment until a small body ran into my knees.Ignoring the dull pain the collision brought, I looked down to see bright blue eyes and a gap-toothed smile.The boy was gripping my dress tight and glancing back at the direction he had run out from while he vibrated with chil
