Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 63B
CHAPTER 63BTiana didn’t come down for dinner.She heard Pascal’s excited chatter drifting up the stairs, heard the clink of cutlery, the low rumble of Nikolai’s voice responding. The smell of the sauce—rich, garlicky, surprisingly good—wafted through the house. Her stomach twisted, not from hunger but from the sheer audacity of it all. Nikolai cooking? After that conversation? After dismissing Indy like she was disposable, after walking away from the chaos he’d helped create?No. She wasn’t sitting at a table with him. Not tonight.She stayed in her room, door closed, scrolling mindlessly through tiktok videos. She wondered why Maryann hadn’t prepared dinner. The housekeeper usually handled evenings when Tiana worked late. Had Nikolai sent her home early?Downstairs, Pascal’s voice carried clearly. “Daddy, why isn’t Mummy eating with us?”“Mummy’s not feeling well,” Nikolai answered, smooth and calm. “She needs rest.”Pascal frowned, concerned. “Is it her tummy? Or her head?”“Just t

The mansion smelled like garlic and rosemary when she stepped through the front door.Indy didn’t knock. She didn’t need to.The door to Tiana’soffice flew open so hard the handle left a dent in the wall. A second laterIndy stormed in like a hurricane wrapped in couture with sunglasses shoved upinto her hair, designer coat slipping off one shoulder, face flushed with thekind of rage that had been simmering for weeks.Tiana looked up from her quarterly report. Her pen froze mid-air.Indy didn’t waste words.She lunged forward, grabbed Tiana by the front of her blouse, and shoved herback against the desk. Papers flew, and a framed photo of Tiana’s son crashedto the floor.“You bitch,” Indysnarled, her face inches from Tiana’s. “You did this on purpose. You cost methe Sweet Alchemy modeling gig, you bloody, and jealous fool.”Tiana’s hands came upinstinctively, pushing at Indy’s wrists. “Get your hands off me.”Indy slapped her hard,and across the cheek. The crack reverberated

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,
