All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Cook: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

CoralineI swiveled my head from one man to the other, trying to come up with the best way to diffuse this situation without it blowing up in my face.Our little dramatic standoff was also already causing a few necks to turn in our direction. Curious glances from the band members and raised brows from some of the media people told me we were seconds away from becoming backstage gossip, if we weren’t already.Coming to a quick decision on the spot, I took a deep breath and released it.“You know what? I’m going to find my own way home myself.”“Yasss, you let them know, miss boss girl.” Someone whistled low and clicked their fingers in approval.I made a face, momentarily distracted. But I quickly regained my focus and yanked my wrist out of Alessio’s grip. He surprisingly let me go without an argument.Not waiting to spare a glance at any of them for their reactions, I rushed out of the door and slammed it behind me, faintly hearing Bryan calling out my name through it.The noise of t

CoralineThe moment that question left his mouth, every trace of warmth his thorough kiss had stirred inside my body instantly evaporated.I slipped out of his hold to create distance between us, trying my best not to show the crack in my happy facade.“Like I said before, I’m going to find another way to repay you.” I told him calmly through a forced smile I hoped appeared natural. “So you can forget about me agreeing to becoming your fake girlfriend. It’s never going to happen.”His expression shifted into one of confusion. I could see it on his face that he had mistaken my act of niceness for letting down my defenses around him.He had no idea that this was just me trying to throw him off my game. If he couldn’t predict my next move, then I’d always be one step ahead, and if I properly utilized the opportunity, it could be extremely advantageous for me in the remaining weeks I had left with him.“What would you like to have for breakfast this morning?” I asked him with my pleasant

CoralineI felt like a sleep-deprived zombie when I walked into the penthouse the next day. I had no idea how I was going to continue with being all nonchalant and unaffected in Alessio’s presence but I was determined not to be obvious about what I had found out.He really had me all fooled. Telling me he hadn’t been with any other woman since our first kiss, lying to my face that I was the only one who turned him on while he had secret affairs behind my back.I felt dirty, inside and out. And I didn’t really want to see him today or ever for that matter but I had no choice since I still worked for him.Thankfully, luck seemed to be on my side because when I stepped into the empty kitchen, a message entered into my work phone from him.‘Alessio: I had an early meeting this morning at the office so Benny will drive you over to drop off my breakfast.’Annoyance coursed through my veins as I read his words and I slammed the phone face-down on the island.Who was he to be bossing me arou

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’d be able to raise the money in such a short amount of time. Him and I both knew it. So the choice he gave me wasn’t much of a choice. Not really.He just wanted to keep this cycle of humiliation going for me where he could play with my emotions and feelings however he liked until I broke.What he didn’t know was that I was never going to back down. I wasn’t as fragile as he thought and I was going to prove it to him.The first step was finding an alternative to being his cook. Which was why I was here early this morning with David, in the waiting area of House Of Gwen’s agency.“Do you think anyone’s going to attend to us?” David asked me from the corner of his mouth as we watched assistant

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 about on that end.That counted as a good sign at least.Handing the driver his pay and climbing out of the car, I stopped in front of the hotel and inhaled a rush of air for confidence before stepping through the revolving glass doors.Lights glittered off polished surfaces as I walked past the luxurious lobby and headed straight for the elevators. I stood out in a simple shirt and jeans so I didn’t want to draw more attention to myself by looking around and trying to properly take in my surroundings.Once inside, I hit the button for the basement level since that was what was stated on the address. Then I waited anxiously to the side until the elevator dinged and its doors smoothly slid op
