Coraline

I was having the sweetest dream where Alessio was declaring his undying love for me when a beam of bright light suddenly pierced through my closed lids.

“Wake up, Cora Lily! We have a long day of pampering ahead of us.”

“Fuck off!” I groaned in annoyance and turned to my other side only to bump into my open laptop.

“You were up late searching for jobs again, weren’t you?” David’s voice came again and I seriously wanted to fling something hard his way.

“Can you just go?”

“No can do, gi

  • The Billionaire’s Cook   CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-FIFTY-FOUR

    CoralineShe was lying.She had to be. There just wasn’t any other option.But I feigned devastation for a moment nonetheless, forcing my expression to crumble like her words had completely shattered me.She walked further into the room so she was standing in front of me, the scent of her perfume suffocating and stirring the desire to throw up inside my stomach.“Dios, you look so pitiful.” She stared down her fake nose at me with a slight curl of her lips. “Do you know how long I’ve been trying to get you within my grasp?”(God.)“Why? So you can finally have a chance with my fake boyfriend?” I shot back at her.She threw back her head and laughed loudly, mockingly. The sound grated on my nerves even though I was trying hard not to let it show.“You’re dumber than I gave you credit for if that’s what you truly think,” she finally said, harsh expression back on her face. “Alessio has always been mine, even before our first night together that led to this.” She rubbed her sizable bump,

  • The Billionaire’s Cook   CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-FIFTY-THREE

    CoralineI passed out again.While Marcus had attempted to tie me down, I had struggled so wildly that he eventually landed a blow to the uninjured side of my head and I ended up falling unconscious.Now I slowly opened my eyes to find myself tied to the metal chair, hands and feet bound with my chest strapped back so tightly it felt like my ribs were being crushed inwards, my lungs barely expanding to take in enough air.I was alone this time around so I didn’t bother struggling so I could save up my strength for when I needed it the most. Not that there was much I could do while I was restrained this way.Even my mouth had been taped shut so I was pretty much useless.All I could do at the moment was let my thoughts roam free, far and wide and chaotic.Questions kept popping up in my brain.Were we still in Rome or back in New York? How long have I been here for? Who was the person Marcus had been speaking to on the phone the first time I was awake? What was his exact reason for tak

    CoralineA moan of pain left my lips the moment I twitched into consciousness.My body strangely didn’t feel like my own. Most especially my head. It felt like it was detached and floating separately from my torso and limbs, lost in its own world of excruciating pain.I managed to pry my heavy lids open to take in my surroundings, hazy-minded and wondering what was happening.The space around me was dim. My mind was slow to catch up on other details but when it eventually did, I could feel I was sprawled on something creaky and lumpy, limbs haphazard but unmoving, my mouth so fucking dry I could probably start a fire in there.Then my sense of smell kicked in and I picked up on the mustiness of the air in this dark little space.I crinkled my brows because I was so lost. Everything felt distorted, my vision warping and rippling around me.Wasn’t I supposed to be in Rome? In Alessio’s family estate pretending to be his girlfriend?Or were we back in New York already? If so, where was t

    AlessioI couldn’t wait to get back to the house.Coraline was waiting for me and that was all my thoughts circled around.Even while I finished up at the airfield and went to go pick up Arturo when he landed several hours later, it was all I kept thinking about. All that mattered and kept me focused through the restless anticipation clawing beneath my skin.I needed to finally tell her the truth. That I couldn’t let her go.That when tomorrow came and we had to step out of the jet to go back to our individual lives, I wouldn’t be able to physically do it.Because the reason was obvious.I loved her. I loved her so fucking much.The realization had come to me that day on the yacht while I had watched her step out of the car in that stunning sapphire blue dress and walk towards me, looking so beautiful I just couldn’t tear my eyes away from the vision she made.My heart had surrendered right then and there, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that she was the beginning of the rest of m

    Coraline“Tu. Ho bisogno che Tu sia qui. Non posso farcela senza di lui.”(Tu. I need Tu here. I can’t do this without him.)We had thankfully arrived at the hospital without the baby making an appearance and Martina was currently being wheeled to the maternity ward.I kept toweling sweat off her forehead and speaking in whispered reassurances that everything would be fine.Now as she laid propped against the delivery bed, fingers white-knuckling the raised side rails as contraction after contraction hit, she begged to see her husband, Arturo.I had already called him countless times but it seemed he wasn’t where his phone was. So I’d had to eventually call Alessio, informing him of what was happening and hoping he’d be able to get through to Arturo himself.“Martina, look at me.” I bent so I was eye level with her. “You can do this. Just keep breathing. In. Out.”She wasn’t really listening, but she was watching me with a wild gaze. So I demonstrated for her until she began mimicking

    CoralineToday was my last full day in Rome and Martina insisted on spending it glued to my side.She decided she wanted a change of environment and picked the same beach Chiara had taken me to a couple of days ago, getting Enrico to drive us both there.Since I needed to clear my head a bit too, I gladly followed, hoping her company would distract me enough from thinking about the ache sitting heavily in my chest.“Ah, this was exactly what I needed,” she said in Italian and tilted her face upwards the moment we stepped out of the car. “To feel the breeze through my hair and the sun against my face.”I nodded after checking my phone for the translation, then began walking next to her slow, waddling steps.The scenery looked beautiful, especially with the sun spilling its golden rays across the ocean waves while a few silver-winged gulls flew overhead.“I think the baby’s happy too. She’s been kicking more than usual since we got into the car to come here.”I glanced at her with a cur

    Coraline“This is the best meal I’ve had in a long time.” I said as I scraped my bowl clean then set it on the table and looked at David. “You need to teach me your mom’s special recipe.”He got up from the sofa to take his own empty plate into the kitchen. “Nothing comes for free, Cora,” he said s

    CoralineI 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 t

    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
