Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 62
CHAPTER 62Indy didn’t knock. She didn’t need to.The door to Tiana’s office flew open so hard the handle left a dent in the wall. A second later Indy stormed in like a hurricane wrapped in couture with sunglasses shoved up into her hair, designer coat slipping off one shoulder, face flushed with the kind of rage that had been simmering for weeks.Tiana looked up from the quarterly report she’d been reviewing. The pen in her hand stilled.Indy didn’t speak at first. She simply swept her arm across the desk.Files exploded into the air. A coffee mug shattered against the far wall. The beautiful blush-rose bouquet from Ryan hit the floor; petals scattered like blood drops on cream carpet.Only then did Indy speak.“You bitch. You did this.”Tiana slowly set her pen down. Her heart was racing, but her face stayed calm. “Indy. This is my workplace. Lower your voice.”“Lower my…?” Indy laughed, sharp and ugly.Tiana rose slowly, palms flat on the desk. “Actually, Indy. Leave.”“Leave?” Ind

CHAPTER 61Morning crept into the Toriaga mansion like a cautious intruder. The house was quiet, but it was the strained kind of quiet that comes after a storm, when everything feels temporarily held together by willpower alone.Tiana wore simple slacks and a soft blouse with her hair pulled back in a neat ponytail. She found Nikolai in the living room, seated on the leather sofa with documents spread across the coffee table like a losing battlefield. A cup of coffee sat untouched beside him, long gone cold. He looked up when she entered, dark circles under his eyes betraying the sleepless night.“Good morning,” she said evenly.He nodded once. “Morning.”She didn’t sit. She stood a few feet away, hands loose at her sides. “I have a proposal.”His brows lifted slightly, wariness already settling in. “A proposal.”“A trade,” she corrected. “You leave Gerald alone, completely, and I’ll help Hartwell Corporation.”The words landed like a quiet explosion.Nikolai stared at her, stunned.

CHAPTER 60The second call from Ryan came just as the waiter cleared their plates, before dessert could even be offered.Tiana glanced at the glowing screen, then at Nikolai. The fragile ease from moments ago had already evaporated. His eyes were flat now, watchful, the candlelight catching the hard line of his jaw.She answered.“Ryan,” she said, letting her voice soften deliberately, warm enough to carry across the empty table.“Hey,” Ryan replied, his tone laced with quiet concern. “I noticed you left the office with someone tonight. You didn’t seem in a hurry to get home. Everything okay?”Nikolai’s fingers tightened around the stem of his wine glass, knuckles whitening.“I’m fine,” Tiana said, leaning back in her chair. She kept her voice light, almost playful. “Actually, I’m at La Fiamora right now. It’s quiet. The view’s beautiful.”Ryan let out a low, appreciative whistle. “La Fiamora? That’s impressive. Special occasion?”She sent a quick glance at Nikolai. He was staring at

CHAPTER 59The drive to the restaurant dragged on in near silence. Nikolai kept his eyes on the road, his fingers tight on the wheel, as the city lights blurred past. Tiana sat beside him, staring out her window, one hand resting on her thigh. Neither of them spoke. The only sound was the low sound of the engine and the occasional swipe of the wipers against a light drizzle.She didn’t know what to expect. Didn’t know why she’d agreed. The hurt from the night before, him ignoring her at dinner, acting like she wasn’t even in the room, still sat heavy in her chest. But here she was, letting him drive her anyway.When they pulled up to La Fiamora, her breath caught.The restaurant hadn’t changed. Same glass front, same soft glow spilling onto the waterfront promenade, same view of the river lights dancing on the water. She hadn’t been here since before Pascal was born. This used to be her favourite restaurant back when a night out still felt possible.Nikolai got out first, came around,

CHAPTER 58The sun was just spilling gold over the skyline the next morning when Tiana slipped into the kitchen, her steps quiet but purposeful. The hospital incident from yesterday lingered in the back of her mind. Nikolai’s sudden collapse, his stubborn refusal to stay, and his pale face in the passenger seat had left an ache she wasn’t sure she wanted to name. She pushed it aside as she pulled out pots and pans,Pascal’s little feet pattered into the kitchen before she could finish arranging the table. His eyes went wide when he saw the spread.“Mummy! You cooked everything?” He climbed into his chair, legs swinging.“I did, sweetie,” Tiana said, smiling. “I thought it was time we all had breakfast together. You, me… and your father.”Pascal clapped his hands. “Yay! Family breakfast! Daddy will be so surprised!”“I hope so,” Tiana said, setting a plate in front of him. “Eat up, sweetie. So you won’t be late for school.”Pascal’s grin widened. “Ok mum,” he replied as she quickly dov

CHAPTER 57Tiana jerked her hand away the instant Nikolai’s eyes opened, as though his gaze had burned her skin. She took a stumbling step back from the bedside, her heart hammering so violently she could feel it in her throat.“I thought you were asleep,” she blurted, the words tumbling out before she could stop them.Silence stretched between them, thick and charged. The steady beep of the monitor filled the room like a metronome counting down to something inevitable.“I mean…” She cleared her throat, forcing composure into her voice. “It’s good that you’re awake. Obviously.”Nikolai didn’t answer right away. He blinked once, slowly, as if reorienting himself to the sterile lights and the antiseptic smell. Then, without a word, he pushed himself upright. The thin hospital blanket slid down his chest as he swung his legs over the edge of the bed with deliberate calm. He reached for his folded shirt on the chair and began pulling it on.“Let’s go home,” he said, his voice low and roug
