The Billionaire’s Cook CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-FORTY-FOUR
Alessio“I love you.”Those three words had sent me running as fast and as far as I wasn’t proud of.I couldn’t quite explain how I’d felt in that moment but the first emotion I could remember was shock.It enveloped my body in its paralyzing grip as I held myself still to make sure I wasn’t hearing things or making the words up myself.Then when I was sure they were real, that was when the second emotion set in.I didn’t have a name for it yet. All I could describe was fullness. Overwhelming, thorough, all-encompassing.Like I couldn’t breathe but I could fly at the same time. Something close to that.And then the fear snaked its way through that and squashed whatever the hell was blooming from it.She loved me. That had been my goal all along. To own her body, soul and heart. For her to completely belong to me.It had been a challenge, one I had been determined to win. But the moment she made it a reality, elation wasn’t what I felt.Trepidation was more closely related.The weight

CoralineShe hopped up to her feet before I could blink. “Let’s go then! Chop, chop, hurry! The night’s not getting any younger.”I pushed to standing and tried to keep up with her speed-walking. Excitement made her stumble a few times on the sand but she held on to her balance while occasionally throwing a grin at me behind her.When we climbed back into the car, Chiara tapped Enrico’s shoulder and said, “Portaci a Casa di Peccato.”(Take us to Casa di Peccato.)After a nod, he started the engine and peeled away from the beach, joining the late-night traffic on the main road in no time.I stayed silent for the duration of the drive, internally working up the courage to let loose and just have fun in a city where I knew no one while Chiara had her eyes glued to her phone’s screen, probably chatting with friends.The street of the club felt alive when Enrico finally drove up towards the building’s entrance.A massive gold sign above it read, CASA DI PECCATO, in bold letters then beneat

CoralineBreeze whipped strands of my hair across my face as I climbed down from the car and watched the nearly empty shoreline of the beach from this distance.“Come on,” Chiara called over her shoulder, bending to pick up her kicked-off sandals before walking towards the water.I did the same and followed her, the sand cool beneath my bare feet.“Here’s a good spot to sit,” she said after a while of walking then unceremoniously dropped her ass into the damp sand, stretching her feet out so the waves touched her toes every time they rolled in.I lowered myself more carefully beside her, placing my sandals next to me and tilting my head up towards the fading light on the horizon.“Ahh, this is my favorite spot whenever I visit the estate.” She leaned back on her palms, releasing a happy breath. “It’s so peaceful and serene here and no one bothers you, especially during this time. You’re glad you left the house, aren’t you?”I nodded with a small smile. “Yeah. And you’re right. It’s re

CoralineMy chest burned as heavy regret coursed through my veins.Oh God please, just grant me this one wish and let me dissolve into the ground right this instant. Or better yet let me just disappear into thin air and erase the memory of this humiliating moment from existence.Nothing happened, of course and the urge to run and hide became overwhelmingly oppressive.“Corali—”“Please let me down.”My gaze was averted, head bowed and hair in my face as my voice came out pleading.Alessio was still buried to the hilt deep inside me so there was no possible way I could move except he let me go.I was really praying he let me go.“Coraline, look at me please.” This time his tone was rough and desperate-sounding, fingers prodding at my chin while I stubbornly refused to lift it.Eventually, he sighed and pulled out of me before setting me to the ground as gently as he could.My legs remained unmoving for a few moments while I fixed my dress and pretended everything was fine and fucking p

CoralineWhen I got back some minutes later, Alessio was in the same position I left him, seated with his legs spread and his back straight while staring expectantly in the direction of the doorway.I approached him with the box in my hands, thankful he didn’t look dizzy or disoriented which meant the cut wasn’t that serious.“Are you feeling weird in any sort of way?” I still asked him just to be sure as I opened the box and brought out a cotton pad.He looked up at me when I stepped closer and shook his head in answer to my question.His legs were parted so I simply moved between them to brush his hair aside so I could see the wound better.With the gentlest touch, I pressed the pad against his forehead to stop the bleeding, glancing down at his face to see if he felt uncomfortable.I couldn’t place his expression properly but it sure wasn’t one of being uncomfortable or in pain.A flash of heat rolled through my body when he met my gaze with his and I quickly looked back at what I

Coraline“That’s crazy.” I said to Ash during our daily FaceTime call, digesting the information she just told me.Apparently, her and Darren had been photographed by the paparazzi that night they went for dinner together and the pictures were made to seem like they were out on a romantic date.Now she was frustrated because her publicist told her not to shut down the rumors since the buzz could help boost fan engagement for their upcoming series.“The pictures are everywhere, Cora,” she exclaimed helplessly, looking like she was seconds away from tearing out her hair in annoyance. “Celebrity magazines, gossip blogs, fan pages. Darren’s popularity is through the roof here so everyone’s eating up the story.”“Is he pissed too?” I prodded.She rolled her eyes. “No. The fool is as unbothered as always. Says I shouldn’t stress anything because the news will die down soon. Which I don’t believe will happen for one second.”“Since you can’t deny the claims, don’t fuel them either. Meaning y

CoralineI opened the door to a worried-looking Hannah.“What’s going on?” she asked immediately she stepped in, turning around to face me.Not wanting to go into the full details of our predicament but still wanting to let her have a general idea, I simply said, “We got into a money bind with a fe

CoralineIt was past 8pm and I glanced at my phone for the fourth time in ten minutes to see there was still no call from Alessio.What was wrong with me? I shouldn’t care that he hadn’t called even though he had said he would.“Where’s your mind at, girl?” David yelled from beside me. “We need you

Coraline“Nice hickeys. Courtesy of your boss?”My hands flew up to my neck in horror. “What—what are you talking about?”David gestured towards me with an amused look on his face as we stepped into his apartment’s guest room. “You guys must have had one hell of an heated make out sesh. Those are g

AlessioI was going through withdrawal symptoms.Three whole days of back-to-back meetings and the only thing I could think about instead of rest was seeing Coraline again.I had sat down with the Swiss investor and his advisors and walked them through the corrective actions already underway to gai
