The Billionaire’s Cook CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-FORTY
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

Coraline“You can look now.” I said to Alessio and he turned around, running his gaze over me like he would be able to guess the number of coins I had tossed from that.He eventually gave up and asked, “Do you want to take a few pictures before we go watch the sunset?”Nodding in delight, I gave him my phone and went closer to the fountain, smiling then making a peace sign close to my face.The crowd around thickened fast so we left a few minutes later, walking with our fingers laced together through a street with ocher-toned buildings and ivy-clad facades.The atmosphere around was vibrant and lively, with artisans, street performers and vendors in open-air markets dotted everywhere.At my request, he got us matching leather bracelets, mine blue and his black.As he fastened it around my wrist, it struck me that he’d picked my favorite color. He hadn’t forgotten that tiny detail about me and the realization hit deep in my chest, causing my heart to flutter and a tiny smile to lift th

CoralineWe got to the booth just as the couple there were collecting their printed pictures and leaving.“Hello! Beautiful couple.” The photographer grinned at us, showing slightly uneven teeth as he waved us towards the marked spot.“Ten euros, each picture. I print it right away and you take it with you,” he said in clipped but clear English, his accent unfamiliar.Alessio nodded for him to start and he stepped back behind his tripod, adjusting stuff on his camera.“I pose you or you pose yourselves?” He looked from behind the lens as Alessio’s hand slid to my waist and drew me to himself.“We’re good.” Alessio replied, turning to face me fully, then lifting my hands and placing them around his neck.I smiled and pretended my heart wasn’t beating as fast as a war drum in my chest as two clicks of the camera went off.“Wowww, perfecto! Now give me something more relaxed, more playful!”Forcing myself to release myself to the moment, I inhaled deeply and grabbed one of Alessio’s hand

CoralineI still couldn’t believe the last half hour happened.That I had held Alessio in my arms and spoken words to soothe his pain. Even more baffling was the fact that he had let me. He didn’t push me away and even seemed to be grateful I had done it.His mood was far much better now and I could go as far as saying he even looked excited about something.“Still not going to tell me anything?” I asked him, looking from the road towards his smiling profile.We had been driving for about ten minutes now and I still had no clue what his plan was.“Here’s our first stop so you can lay your curiosity to rest for a minute,” he replied as he backed into a parking space.I looked out the window to see a designer boutique in front of us.“Clothes shopping?” I asked him, raising a brow in question.“For you. We’ve got to change you out of those flour-stained ones you’re wearing.”I looked down at my shirt and jeans and realized he was unfortunately right.He told me to wait in my seat and ro

AlessioI was in such deep shit.This whole fake girlfriend idea was backfiring so hard on me.My family loved Coraline. Of course, that was expected. She was perfect for me.What wasn’t expected was me realizing the same thing.That night, when she looked me in the eyes and told me she wanted to leave earlier than we had planned, it felt like the world around me was ending.Somewhere along the way, I’d gotten so entangled with her that I couldn’t go a full moment without the thought of her stuck in my head.At first, I thought it was about the sex. Sex with her was mind-blowing. Out of this world. Being inside her pussy was an experience I would never be able to replicate with another woman.But I hadn’t gotten off for more than a week now and the feelings in my chest only seemed to be growing stronger.Seeing her dancing, laughing, interacting with the people I held close to my heart was doing something irreversible to the organ.I watched her a lot, stared at her when she thought I

Coraline“We’re here ma’am.”I raised my head and looked through the window of my Uber. We had stopped in front of a glitzy, five-star hotel.I had expected an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere or a dark suspicious building with security at the door, but I guessed I had nothing to worry

CoralineI cried myself to sleep that night.I couldn’t believe he had given me this false sense of security, only to rip it from beneath me when he realized he couldn’t control my actions any longer.I hated him so much. So fucking much.He could go rot in hell for all I cared.There was no way I’

AlessioCoraline looked like she wanted to disappear into the ground as she stood staring at me in shock.Good. I had intended to catch her off guard—and clearly, it had worked.Ash walked up to her. “Why do you look like you’ve seen your worst nightmare?”Coraline blinked, snapping out of her daze

CoralineThe door swung open before I could raise my fist to knock again.“Hi, David.” I stretched my lips into a pleasant smile.He rolled his eyes and scoffed. “Glad to see you’re alive and well.” He turned his back and began walking deeper into his apartment but he hadn’t shut the door in my fac
