Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 130
CHAPTER 130Pascal's eyes opened at exactly 6:47 a.m., three minutes before his alarm was set to go off. He lay still for a moment, staring at the glow-in-the-dark stars on his ceiling, then sat bolt upright as memory crashed over him like a wave.His birthday. He is nine years old today.He scrambled out of bed, his dinosaur pajamas twisted from sleep, and padded barefoot across the plush carpet. The house was quiet with that heavy, early-morning silence that felt like the whole world was holding its breath. He opened his door carefully, peeked out into the hallway.His first stop was Mummy's room.He knocked softly, then pushed the door open when there was no answer. The bedroom was empty. There was no wheel chair or Mummy.Pascal's stomach twisted with a feeling he couldn't quite name. She'd promised. She'd promised she'd be here for his birthday, that they'd spend the whole day together at the museum. Had she forgotten? Had something happened?He hurried down the hallway to the ot
Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 129
Chapter 129 Nikolai exchanged a glance with Sandy, who was watching him with an expression he couldn't quite read. He picked up the cup in his right hand, hesitated, then took a small sip. The tea was hot, slightly bitter, with notes of bergamot. Earl Grey, maybe. Sandy drank from her left cup, then set it down. "Now the second one," Raymond instructed. This time Nikolai didn't hesitate. He drank from the second cup. It had same temperature, same flavor profile. He set both cups on the table. "They taste identical." "Exactly." Raymond leaned forward, intensity radiating from him. "Can you tell any difference at all? Texture, aftertaste, anything?" "No," Nikolai admitted. "They're the same." "They're not." Raymond picked up one of Nikolai's discarded cups, held it up to the light. "One of these contains a carefully measured dose of thallium sulfate. Not enough to harm you, barely above therapeutic levels for certain medical treatments. But enough to demonstrate a point." The ro
Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 128
CHAPTER 128 The call came through while Nikolai was reviewing the fiscal reports in his office. He glanced at the screen — Sandy Toriaga — and felt his stomach tighten. They hadn't spoken since the pier, since she'd handed him the autopsy report that had shattered whatever remained of his illusions about his family. He answered on the third ring. "Sandy." "I need you to meet me." Her voice was clipped, urgent. "Tonight. 847 Riverside Court, apartment 3B. Can you be there by seven?" Nikolai sat forward, frowning. "You're back in Velmore? I thought you returned to Atlanta." "Change of plans. Something came up." A pause, then softer: "Something important. About Dad." His pulse quickened. "What kind of something?" "Not over the phone.Just meet me there. Seven o'clock. Don't tell anyone.” "Sandy, what's going on? What's at that address?" "We can meet the doctor at that time." Her voice dropped lower, almost a whisper. "The one who can explain exactly how Dad was killed.” The line

CHAPTER 127Nikolai arrived exactly twenty-eight minutes later, parking the Range Rover in the circular driveway and taking the front steps two at a time. Maria opened the door before he could knock. "She's in the study, Mr. Nikolai." He found Eva standing behind the desk, the papers spread out like a battle plan. She looked triumphant, energized in a way that made his skin crawl. "These are the divorce terms," she said without preamble, gesturing to the documents. "Everything we discussed. Tiana gets ten million, you get full custody of Pascal, and the unborn child transfers to you after two years. Fair. Generous. Clean." Nikolai picked up the papers, scanning the first page. Legalese swam before his eyes — whereas and heretofore and party of the first part. He flipped to the second page, the third, reading the terms in detail. Then he started laughing. It was a low, dark sound that started in his chest and built until his shoulders shook. He set the papers down, still chucklin
Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 126
CHAPTER 126 The studio was all white. Natural light poured through floor-to-ceiling windows. Indy stood on a raised platform in the center, wearing the third outfit of the morning, a structured blazer dress in midnight blue with geometric cutouts along the ribs. "Turn," Renata commanded from her perch on a velvet stool, one leg crossed over the other, sketchpad balanced on her knee. Indy pivoted slowly, arms slightly raised. "The waist needs to come in," she murmured, making quick marks on her sketch. "And the hem, it's pulling. Gabriela, pins." Her assistant rushed forward with a pincushion strapped to her wrist. She knelt beside Indy, adjusting the fabric with expert fingers, inserting pins with quick, precise movements. Indy's phone buzzed in her purse across the room. She glanced toward it instinctively. "Eyes forward, darling," Renata said without looking up. "We're not finished." The ringing stopped. Indy exhaled and refocused on the mirror ahead, studying her reflection
Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 125
CHAPTER 125 Eva Toriaga stood at the window of the mansion's sunlit study, phone pressed to her ear, watching frost melt on the garden paths below. "Harold," she said into the phone, her voice crisp and commanding. "I need you here within the hour. We have business to finalize." The lawyer's response crackled through the speaker. Eva cut him off. "No. Not over the phone. In person. This requires your complete attention." She ended the call without waiting for agreement and set the phone on the mahogany desk. Outside, a gardener raked dead leaves from beneath the bare oak trees. The grounds looked skeletal in winter, stripped down to essentials. Good. She preferred things without ornamentation, without the soft lies of spring and summer. Tiana needed to go. The terms needed to be ironclad. And she needed it done before Nikolai found his spine. Fifty minutes later, the doorbell chimed. Eva didn't answer it herself — that's what staff were for. But she was waiting in the study wh
