Coraline

I slowly dragged myself out of bed to pick up my phone. It had been ringing nonstop for five minutes now and the continuous sound was grating on my ears and getting pretty annoying.

The caller ID showed what I already knew—that it was David, no doubt another one of his attempts to get me to stop moping around and pull me out of the gloom I’d been wearing like a black cloud for days now.

I groaned and tried to hit the decline button so I could put my phone on ‘do not disturb’ and go bac

  • The Billionaire’s Cook   CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-SIXTY-TWO

    AlessioVery quickly, we reached the hospital, and then I got the breakdown of the extent of her injuries.Suffered a concussion. Several bruised ribs. A fractured collarbone. Lacerations requiring stitches.“She’s alive but not conscious.” The doctor explained after stepping out of the intensive care unit. “Thankfully, her head injury isn’t severe enough to concern us at the moment, but we still have to keep her under observation until she becomes stable.”Meaning we just had to wait and see how well enough she recovered.I stayed the rest of the night and most of the next morning in the hospital—with Ash and Elias arriving a few hours after I did—until Benny’s call came.Marcus’s body had been found and he was confirmed dead.The news met me in a mostly numb state.He had been flung out of the truck the moment the collision happened and I could only be thankful Coraline had been wearing her seatbelt at the time, which prevented her from meeting the same fate.While part of me hated

    AlessioI knew I was asking for a miracle, but it was the only thing I could hang on to as I raced towards the mangled truck that looked even worse the closer I got.The driver’s side was a complete disaster. The window was smashed through and the door crushed inwards, with the whole frame contorted and jammed shut while rain streamed in through the shattered windshield.Marcus wasn’t inside.I forced my gaze away from the gut-churning sight and shifted my attention to the passenger’s seat, heart thrashing wildly inside my chest.Coraline’s pale, blood-streaked face met my eyes, her head slumped against her seatbelt and her body horrifyingly still.I gulped hard before rushing to the door on her side.It was caved in a little, the metal gnarled and the handle twisted.With adrenaline pumping through my veins, I immediately grabbed a hold of it, planting one foot firmly against the frame then yanking hard.The door gave way with an ear-piercing screech.I wedged myself into the uncomfo

    AlessioThe 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.My phone was turned off as an extra precaution to avoid being tracked. So I ducked back into the car and grabbed a flashlight before softly shutting the door.Then I began my walk, following a hidden path through the trees to stay out of plain sight.By the time I made it around the house towards the back where the detached garage was, about seven minutes had passed and droplets of rain were starting to hit the earth.I moved with light footsteps, senses on high alert and every muscle wound tight for wh

    CoralineEven before my eyelids cracked open, I knew I wasn’t in the dank basement any longer.I wasn’t tied down too, so maybe that was a good sign?I ached all over, but I still forced myself to open my eyes and get a better look at my new surroundings.It was a normal-looking room, with cream-colored walls and floral curtains hanging over a window.Even the bed I was lying on wasn’t uncomfortable.For a few disorienting seconds, I tried to connect the dots between my last memory and the one I was waking up to.I could even almost convince myself it had all been a terrible nightmare except the overwhelming pain in my body told me otherwise.When I tried to move, a throbbing sharpness flared in my side so I flopped back against the bed with a groan.Fuck, I think my ribs were badly bruised.No wonder every breath felt like a dull knife dragging through my insides.I heard a distant clap of thunder just as the bedroom door suddenly opened.I flinched hard when Marcus stepped in, a vis

    AlessioToday was the third day since Coraline had gone missing, and I’d barely gotten more than five hours of sleep altogether.Those pictures of her kept flashing through my mind every time I closed my eyes and I was getting increasingly antsy to find some sort of breakthrough somewhere.Georgina was growing more and more impatient because I hadn’t signed the marriage paperwork yet. I’d claimed my lawyers had found a discrepancy in the documents and would have to review it first before it could be cleared for my signature.It was bullshit of course and Georgina knew it. But she’d given me until today to take care of it.Meaning time was no longer on my side. If I delayed any longer, that could spell something bad for Coraline.So the options now were: sign the documents and go ahead with the wedding or find something useful that would hint at Coraline’s location before the time was up.But I kept hitting dead ends everywhere I turned.The only thing that was certain now was that Mar

    CoralineI very quickly realized that rejecting food had been a mistake on my part when I started to feel myself losing the energy I needed desperately to survive.Water from a rusted tin can alone wasn’t going to cut it anymore, so the next time Marcus showed up with a plate of something and asked if I was interested, I forced myself to give a nod.“I’m not going to feed you food the way I’ve been doing with water,” he told me in an unhappy tone, “so I’m going to have to untie you. I’m sure you know the drill already if you try anything funny.” He raised a brow in my direction before setting down the plate of whatever concoction it was this time around and approaching me. “I’m going to knock you out cold and you’d wake up to find yourself back in the chair, permanently that time around.”I swallowed down a painful lump and shook my head. “No, I’ll be good.” He grinned as he walked behind me to undo the leather cords surrounding my numb wrists. “Who knew we’d ever get along like this

    CoralineMy eyes widened and confusion swirled in my gut as Georgina stood before me.What the hell was she doing here? Was she one of the models?She didn’t look glittered up and wasn’t in tall heels like the women had been. So her presence remained a mystery.“What do you want?” I asked her, tryi

    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

    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
