The Billionaire's Plump Chef

The Billionaire's Plump Chef

Marie Sue’s life is a mess. Drowning in student loan debt, working a dead end restaurant job, and running barefoot through New York after borrowing money from dangerous loan sharks. Her life couldn’t get any worse. And then out of the blue, a freezing cold, stunningly handsome billionaire pays off her debt. Jordan Kensington doesn’t want her. He’s CEO of Kensington Foods, and heir to one of the richest families in the nation. Jordan has absolutely no desire for a relationship, particularly not with the messy stranger that kissed him in the middle of the street to save herself from arrest. Until Marie saves his mother’s life, and reveals a culinary skill passed down from her deceased father. Suddenly she’s swept into the world of the powerful Kensington family, and a whirlwind engagement she never saw coming. But Marie isn’t welcomed into the Kensington clan with open arms. A gorgeous socialite determined to become Jordan's wife, a conniving stepmother who is willing to do anything to reclaim her purchase, and a vicious enemy hiding within the Kensington empire are determined to destroy her. Amidst a world of wealth and intrigue, Marie must determine whether she can truly be Mrs. Kensington, and if her newfound love is truly worth risking everything for.

Chapter: CHAPTER 154
Kylie The silence in the living room was so heavy that it seemed to have settled over every piece of furniture. Beneath it, however, were different emotions for each of us. For Steven Kensington, it was anger. For Lara Kensington, it was fear. For me, it was satisfaction. We had all gathered to discuss the latest disaster involving Arnold, but I was probably the only person in the room who wasn't particularly troubled by it. I sat quietly, observing the two people across from me while the man in the expensive suit seemed to be waiting for Steven to make a decision. The silence dragged on until the man finally gave in to the urge to cough. The sound echoed through the room. Steven lifted his head sharply, glaring at him as though the interruption of his thoughts was more offensive than the enormous problem sitting right in front of us. "How do I get so unfortunate with stupid children?" he grunted. "All of them choosing to act up just a few weeks before the polls!" He shook his h

Chapter: CHAPTER 153
Arnold My sides hurt. I shifted my weight and rolled onto my back, but the movement only made things worse. The bed creaked beneath me, its thin mattress offering little comfort. It felt as though my body was lying directly against a sheet of metal. I frowned and tried to adjust my position. Where the hell was I? I opened my eyes, but the room was pitch-black. I couldn't make out anything beyond the faint outline of what appeared to be a small table beside the bed. My head throbbed, and my mouth felt unpleasantly dry. I sat up slowly, wincing as another wave of pain travelled through my side. "Jesus Christ," I muttered. I ran a hand over my face, trying to gather my thoughts. The last thing I remembered was being at a hotel with Lydia. We had planned to meet there, have a few drinks and spend some time together. But this place certainly didn't look like any hotel I would willingly book. I pushed myself off the bed and stood unsteadily. A thin streak of light filtered through w

Chapter: CHAPTER 152
Kylie I pressed my ear against the door. "This could be the greatest discovery of the century, Doc!" I heard Steven exclaim, followed by a loud burst of laughter. Another man joined him, and from the sound of their voices, it seemed there were only two people in the room. "A drug that can suppress memories permanently. This is exactly what I needed." My heart began to race. A drug to suppress memories? I quickly pulled out my phone and tapped the recording button. Thankfully, Steven wasn't done talking. "All I need to do is make sure he takes this daily, right? And you're promising me that he won't suddenly remember that he was fired as CEO and was on the verge of running away with that plump chef?" I froze. Jordan had been prepared to abandon everything for that woman? His family, his position, his responsibilities? Apparently, Marie Sue had meant much more to him than I had imagined. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I assure you, Mr. Kensington," the doctor replied

Chapter: CHAPTER 151
Kylie I straightened and adjusted my shirt. I had no desire to return to that table, but my bag was still there, and I couldn't very well leave it behind. As I studied my face in the mirror, I wondered how much I would care about people's opinions when they found out I was trying to become Jordan's wife again. After a moment, I realised the answer was simple: not at all. I didn't care what anyone thought. Arnold had proven time and again that he was useless, and I was done with him. I turned and walked out of the bathroom. The café was gradually getting noisier as workers trickled in for their daily shots of coffee and quick breakfasts. I weaved between the tables until I reached our seat. Harrison had finished eating and was now scrolling idly through his phone. I reached for my bag. "Thank you for your time, Officer Harrison. It was a pleasure speaking with you." "The pleasure is all mine, Mrs. Brentwood." A faint smile played on his lips. I couldn't help noticing that his e

Chapter: CHAPTER 150
Kylie I managed to find the officer I was looking for just as he changed out of his uniform and into his civilian clothes. He was standing and sipping a cup of coffee, looking every bit like a man who had worked the night shift and was eager to put the day behind him. He smiled pleasantly when he saw me. "Mrs. Kensington?" I extended my hand for a handshake. "No. I'm known as Mrs. Brentwood." "Oh?" He raised an eyebrow. I laughed lightly, as though his confusion amused me. I'd gotten that a lot when I introduced myself to people. Perhaps it was a way to tell them that I wasn't crazy about the Kensington's name. "I understand your confusion. I'm actually married to Arnold Kensington, but I've chosen to retain my maiden name,” I explained. He nodded, though I couldn't tell whether he was genuinely interested or simply too tired to ask any more questions. "I wanted to see you yesterday, Officer, but I was tied up at the hospital and couldn't find a moment to stop by,”

Chapter: CHAPTER 149
Arnold After leaving the hospital, I had too many questions on my mind, and I didn't believe Kylie's side of the story. Everything seemed too convenient. Besides, I could tell there was more to what had happened between her and Maya, but I had no intention of confronting Kylie until I understood the situation better. My first priority was to see Lucy. Mum had decided to stay at the hospital so she could be there when Jordan woke up in the morning. Kylie had offered to stay as well, which I found strange, though perhaps not as strange as the fact that Jordan had apparently lost his memories of the last two years. I couldn't begin to imagine what that meant for him or for the rest of us. "I'll check in tomorrow," I said, hugging Mum before leaving. Kylie had already settled into a chair beside Jordan's bed and barely acknowledged me as I said goodbye. I found her behavior odd, but I didn't have the energy to question it. There were more pressing matters to deal with, and Lucy's arre
