Alessio

The moment my navigation system told me I was half a mile away from the rental house, I slowed down to a crawl before pulling over on the side of the deserted road beneath the cover of a few low-hanging trees.

Then I got out and studied my surroundings, tucking the gun I’d brought with me securely against my hip.

From this distance, I could make out the structure of the house against the darkness, a mass of looming black clouds gathering behind it indicating a storm was coming.

  • The Billionaire’s Cook   EPILOGUE

    CoralineMy phone buzzed with an incoming message just as I was shutting my textbook at the end of this evening’s study group session.“God, he’s always precisely on time.” Shawn shook his head as he watched me pick up my phone. “How does he do it?”I shrugged but Emily answered on my behalf, packing up her laptop.“Easy. He’s obsessed with her.”Shawn responded with something, involving our other two coursemates, but I was barely listening anymore.I smiled down at the message on my screen, sent from my boyfriend of two years now.‘I’m outside, baby. Are you done?’‘Yes. Coming now.’ I quickly typed back, pushing my notebooks into my bag then hoisting it up on my shoulders.“I’m leaving already, guys.” I announced to them as I stood and waved. “See you next week.”“Wait, Cora. Let me walk you out.” Shawn hurriedly packed up his stuff to catch up with me while Emily aggressively rolled her eyes.“I swear you’re going to get a punch in the nose from a pissed off billionaire mogul boyfr

    CoralineI was getting discharged today.It had been almost a week of staying in the hospital and I couldn’t wait to finally be back home.Although Alessio had made sure I had been given one of the top-floor private rooms, I still missed my bed so freaking much.Most of my bruises had faded and my ribs no longer hurt much when I moved. The pain in my neck had also lessened considerably and I still experienced the occasional headache but overall, I felt almost back to normal.I opened the bathroom door and stepped back into the room where Ash was waiting.“Ooh, look at you. Back in regular clothes again,” she commented.“Right?” I responded with a smile. “The hospital gown wasn’t my style in the slightest. White washes me out.”“I agree.” She nodded then got to her feet. “Your boyfriend’s out in the hallway waiting to drive us back.”My heart jolted and my cheeks flushed.The title was still taking a little bit getting used to.I couldn’t believe Alessio was fully mine now. It sometime

    CoralineHis expression was raw and exposed, the most defenseless I’d ever seen him be.It was a jarring sight, but I was sure not to let my reaction show on my face as I pushed myself to sit up.For one ridiculous second, I considered pretending I didn’t remember him. I had a head injury after all, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to fall for it and this conversation would be so much easier to have.But I knew even though I had accepted that I needed to move on, I still couldn’t bring myself to try and erase every single moment we had shared together; every single memory attached to him.Those were all I had left, and I wasn’t letting go of them that easily because they meant everything to me.He moved immediately, ready to help me change positions when I opened my mouth and spoke,“Mr. Castelli, I didn’t think you’d be here when I woke up from my nap.”He froze in place, and everything else seemed to do the same thing along with him, even the air surrounding us.Then his eyes slowly

    CoralineMy heart skipped a beat behind my sore ribs at the mention of the two names my brain had been subconsciously blocking out of my awareness up until now.A twinge of hurt unfurled in my chest and kept spreading, steady and quiet in its intensity.Nodding and swallowing around the sudden lump in my throat, I simply said in a voice I hoped didn’t betray my inner misery, “Okay.”“He’s been here the entire time you were out, you know.” Hannah continued. “And I’ve never in my life seen a man that powerful look so utterly crushed and helpless. It’s clear his heart belongs to you and no one else. There’s no doubt about that now.”“I agree.” Darren spoke up for the first time in his drawling Australian accent, looking down at me with warm hazel eyes. “I’m not sure what the full story is between you two, but what I do know is that the man loves you more than he knows what to do with.”“Mm-hmm.” Ash nodded with a slight smile. “He hasn’t been himself ever since you went missing. Then he

    CoralineI was dreaming.It was a hazy, floaty feeling that I welcomed.I drifted in and out through fragments of memories that felt soft around the edges, like pages from a well-loved book.Alessio was there. As handsome as ever.Staring at me with his hand extended for me to take. Hair blowing in the wind and dark stubble shadowing his jaw.I vaguely recalled it was the time on the tarmac before we boarded his private jet that took us to Rome.Then the scene dissolved into another, vivid behind my closed eyelids.This time around we were in the car right before we stepped out into his family’s estate for the first time, him holding my hand in a reassuring manner before dipping his head to kiss me like a man starved.The memories shifted again, taking different forms.Alessio laughing heartily with a giggling Pietro.Alessio smearing whipped cream across my face during that couple’s pastry-making class.Alessio standing beside me while we both watched the sunset over the beautiful la

    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

    CoralineThe person turned as if spooked and I confirmed that it was indeed Marcus.“What are you doing here?” I stepped closer in confusion. He looked a little rough, nothing like the always properly dressed and put-together guy I had known him as before.“Was looking for you,” he answered, and hi

    Coraline“I know it was a group of thugs who came by yesterday.” I said the moment Ash stepped through the door. I had been awaiting her arrival all evening to ambush her so she didn’t have any chance of escape.She looked up at me with an expression that was hard to read so I didn’t bother trying.

    CoralineA few minutes passed before Alessio slowly lifted himself off my sprawled body.I heard the rustle of clothes and he was no doubt fixing up himself while I remained in the same position with my lower half exposed to the room.Every part of me still hummed pleasurably from the aftereffects
