Coffee, Chaos and the Ceo
Evelina Bennett never expected a billionaire to walk into her struggling café... or turn her life upside down.
As a plus-size single mother fighting to save her family's beloved coffee shop, Evelina has no time for romance. After years of emotional abuse from her ex, all she wants is a fresh start for herself and her son. But when the café falls deeper into debt, she finds herself with nowhere to turn.
Then Adrian Beaumont makes her an offer she can't refuse.
Cold, arrogant, and impossibly wealthy, Adrian is a billionaire CEO desperate to repair his public image and secure a business merger that could change his future forever. His solution? A fake engagement.
In exchange for saving her café, Evelina must pretend to be his fiancée.
What starts as a simple arrangement quickly becomes complicated when they move in together. Behind Adrian's ruthless reputation is a man burdened by family expectations, while behind Evelina's insecurities is a woman far stronger than she realizes.
As sparks fly and feelings deepen, jealous rivals, family secrets, and painful betrayals threaten to expose the truth behind their relationship. When the lies that brought them together begin to unravel, Evelina must decide whether she can trust the man who once saw love as nothing more than a business deal.
Can a plus-size woman who has spent years feeling invisible teach a billionaire how to open his heart... or will their fake romance end before it ever has the chance to become real?

Chapter: Chapter seventeen: Naomi StevensAs soon as Adrian turned around, he realized that he had been right. Standing before him was none other than, Naomi Stevens,the reporter who had been hounding him ever since he had become the CEO of Beaumont Urban Estates.Just like that, Adrian put on his best performance smile. He knew he could not appear rattled in front of Naomi. If she sensed that anything was out of the ordinary, she would no doubt dig deeper and write about it in the mediaand his life would be ruined."Good evening, Mr. Beaumont," Naomi greetedhim with a gentle smile on her face.Adrian nodded his head. "Good evening. What warrants such a visit? I'm pretty sure I have security all around this place, yet somehow you managed to sneak in. I believe that counts as trespassing."Adrian added, the reminder did not seem to faze Naomi the least bit. Instead, she simply smiled as though she had done absolutely nothing wrong."I know that I'm trespassing, but then agai

Chapter: Chapter sixteen: Accident“Where are you going?” Adrian asked as he watched Evelina pack her things and prepare to leave the office. She turned to him with a confused expression.“As you can see, I'm preparing to go home. I don't want to stay here any longer. The longer I stay in this office, the sicker I feel. It seems as though the world of the rich is definitely complicated, I must say.”Without waiting for his response, she turned and walked out of Adrian's office.Adrian could not help but feel as though a small part of him was being ripped away as he watched Evelina leave. However, his pride would not allow him to follow her or stop her.Outside the Beaumont Urban Estates.Evelina stepped outside the building and immediately looked left and right before crossing the road on her way back to her café. Unfortunately, before she could get very far, she was surrounded by a group of reporters. They bombarded her with countless questions while flashes from their cameras blinded her eyes.She tried to shield her

Chapter: Chapter fifteen: Suspicious Alex“That will be one hundred and thirty dollars. Thank you,” Evelina said as she held out her hand toward Adrian, as though waiting for him to pay her.Adrian stared at her with a puzzled expression.“I do not understand what you are trying to say.”“Well, I baked those muffins for the café, but I had to give them to your millionaire friends. Come to think of it... make that one hundred and fifty dollars for the basket as well,” she added.To her surprise, Adrian's lips curled into a smile.“I'll cover it... but how did you know about this meeting?” he asked.“I saw what the media posted and when I called your secretary, Emelda, she told me you weren't in the office and that there was a meeting with some shareholders. She sounded frightened. I put two and two together and realized that muffins often put people in good moods,” she explained.For a brief moment, Adrian was grat

Chapter: Chapter fourteen: Freshly baked muffinsBeaumont Urban EstatesAdrian arrived at the office with ten minutes to spare. He had specifically instructed his driver to step on the gas, and he expected to receive several traffic tickets after they had broken nearly every traffic law imaginable.As soon as he stepped out of the elevator onto the boardroom floor, everyone parted to make way for him. One look at the stern expression on his face was enough to keep people from crossing his path, especially when he was in such a foul mood.Most people would have been furious with Evelina for putting them in a situation that had ultimately given the media something to use against him... something that could potentially cost him the merger and even his position as CEO of Beaumont Urban Estatesbut not Adrian.As Adrian walked down the hallway leading to the boardroom, he came to an abrupt stop. Leaning casually against the wall was none other than Alex. The moment he spotted Adrian, th

Chapter: Chapter thirteen: Tabloids againAdrian was at a complete loss. He still could not get the kiss he had shared with Evelina out of his head. He had never been the type of man to dwell on a woman he had kissed, but Evelina was different. For hours, he had been trying to focus on the work sitting in front of him, but the harder he worked, the more her face flashed across his mind.He could still remember kissing her passionately... and the way she had responded to his kiss."Dammit!" Adrian yelled as he slammed both hands onto his expensive office desk before snapping his laptop shut.He glanced at the wall clock and realized that most of his employees had probably already gone home. Evelina was most likely closing the café by now.It became obvious that he was not going to get any work done because his mind was completely consumed by Evelina, and he could not understand why.Adrian quickly gathered his belongings before leaving his office. As he walked down the corridor, ever

Chapter: Chapter twelve: Not so kiss perfect kissThe next morning...Evelina and her son woke up in high spirits. Sleeping in a large bed that was far more comfortable than the one they shared back home had been a welcome change. To make things even better, the dinner they had enjoyed the previous night was grander than anything either of them had ever eaten in their lives.What made everything seem even more magical was the fact that they did not have to cook for themselves or clean up afterward. Everything was taken care of by the housekeeper, while the chef occasionally came in to prepare meals before leaving again.It was morning and both Evelina and her son sat at the dining table, enjoying their breakfast while talking about what the day would bring for each of them.On his way to the dining room, Adrian paused as the sound of laughter reached his ears. It was something he rarely heard in his house, which was usually as quiet as a graveyard. He had made it very clear that he disliked unnecessary n

Before they knew it, Avena was being dragged away kicking, screaming and her mother following right behind her, asking the officers to leave her daughter alone.On the other hand, Ricardo was being arrested for the murder of Aurora’s mother committed twenty one years ago.

I am the only heir to the Russo fortune and I personally signed those papers not so long ago” Avena stepped forward as everyone stared at her questionably.“Yes you did but unfortunately you are not the heir” E

The only reason he was at his own wedding was because he wanted to make his parents happy.Standing on the podium, he looked at the crowd and there was not many people around but his parents and his soon-to-be wife's parents.Leonardo looked at his mother's face and she was smiling at him, yet Leonardo himself could not force himself to even smile. Today was indeed an unpleasant day for him, as he will be marrying a woman that he did not have any feeling for.

Chapter: CHAPTER 81: NEARING DAYOne day later“I should have known that sooner or later you would betray me” Rhea told Avena, who stood in the center of her living room. For months Avena had refused to let Rhea in on the big secret and if it were not for Ricardo telling her the secret, she would never have known anything.The more she spoke, it felt as though nothing she said had gotten through to Avena who had her hands crossed over her chest and was smiling. An action which only infuriated Rhea more. Looking at Avena, Rhea felt as though she wanted to strangle Avena. After all, Rhea had lost her one chance of having Leonardo to herself. She had thought that by working with Avena, she would get Leonardo but only for her to lose him in the end of it all.“Rhea why are you so upset? I thought you said that you wanted to break up Leonardo and Aurora’s marriage? They are over now, so why are you upset?”“Because I wanted Leonardo t

I think its best that you start explaining to me because you will not like it when I get angry” Leonardo threatened them. Everyone who sat in the room looked uncomfortable, until one brave soul stood up and it was AvenaIt was the first time that Leonardo had seen her since he had left the altar and now as he looked at her, Leonardo noticed that she was quite a pretty young woman but nothing like his wife. Both women were beautiful with dark-ski but Avena’s beauty was still no match to that of his wife.Avena looked frail and scared of him, looking down at her feet and playing with her hands rather than looking up at him, until she finally looked at him with tears welled in her eyes.“Hello my name is Avena, I know that you do not know me quite well and that was mainly because Avena took my place the altar.

What do they call it? I forgot the words, oh I think it's called ‘Wolf in sheep's clothing” Ricardo ridiculed Signora Meta whom was not fazed by Ricardo’s words.“When you think about it, it is actually you who is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I mean you have proven yourself to be an impressive liar” She reminded him.“When have I ever lied about who I was?”“Well, you are you walking around pretending to be Leonardo's friend but actually wanting to take his wife from him, Is that not what you would consider a wolf in sheep's clothing?
