All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Cook: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

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, trying my best to keep the shock out of my expression as I took in her appearance.She looked really different from the last time I had seen her. Her hair hung limp, her skin had a yellow tint, and her clothes weren’t the stylish ones she usually walked around in before. Just a baggy sweatshirt and regular jeans.I wondered what happened to her to cause such a drastic change in her appearance.“You’re really one headstrong bitch, aren’t you?” she spat, stepping closer and cornering me into my chair. “I told you to stay away from Alessio but you just had to go ahead and do the opposite.”“I…” What the fuck was going on?I looked behind me to see Gwen was on her feet, staring between the both of u

Coraline“My exact reaction, girl.” David said from where he was standing by my bookshelf. “I thought you’d be drugged or worse. Now you understand our urgent concern.”“I couldn’t think of anyone else to call except Alessio because I couldn’t reach you, so I did.” Hannah continued. “And he was the one who assured us that you were okay. But we still had to confirm it in person. So here we are.”“House of Gwen?” I asked to be very sure.“Yep.”My mind whirled as my brain began trying to connect the dots.Hannah had been drugged and made to look like she had cheated on Elias because he was a wealthy businessman and they wanted to get him single again so he could be available to them. Then there was me, who Georgina must have thought was dating Alessio.So she conspired with Gwendolyn to bring me down there and probably do the same thing also. Except I wasn’t dating Alessio, and they hadn’t done anything but be insulting and threatening.Actually, it was just Georgina who had been. And t

CoralineAsh was leaving today.She had only packed a small suitcase of her essentials and her handbag since everything else would be provided for her over there.“Hey.” I felt her hand probe mine before her fingers intertwined with my own. “You okay?”I blinked thrice before looking over at her because strangely, my eyes were stinging. “Yep.” I inhaled deeply then squeezed her hand tight, trying to pass on that everything was good.We were in the backseat of David’s car while he drove us to the airport. With every kilometer we put behind us, I felt my heart compress on itself.It was surprising because I had been fine for the past two weeks while she made all the necessary preparations like attending virtual pre-shoot meetings and coordinating flight details with the production company.Maybe it was because I had thrown myself into my schoolwork and ignored the fact that a big change was coming.Ever since Alessio had accepted my personal terms regarding the contract about our fake r

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 smugly. “If you agree not to make a fuss about going to the party tonight, then I’ll teach you all you need to know.”“Oh you sly dog.” I threw the harmless insult at him before rolling my eyes. “Fine. Done. I won’t make any complaints.”“I have one more condition.”I threw my hands up. “Well of course you do.”He walked back into the living room and sat on the table in front of me, pushing my bowl aside. “Tell me the other reason why you’ve been in a funk for days now. My very perceptive instincts say it’s about Rome.”I sighed and ran a hand through my slightly damp hair. “I’m just a little anxious, that’s all.”“About the change of location? Or the man himself?”“Those two, yes. But his fa

CoralineIf I could go back and erase every single thing that happened yesterday from my memory, I wouldn’t hesitate.Well, except eating David’s mom's chicken and rice soup. Everything else wasn’t worth remembering.I couldn’t believe I had cried stupid tears after getting out of Alessio’s car. I was going to blame it on period hormones. I got overly emotional whenever it was that time of the month.Thank God for Ash. I felt a lot better after our daily FaceTime sessions and listening to her talk about the petty arguments between her cast mates made my problems seem not so bad to think about.Except today they were staring me right in the face and I couldn’t escape them any longer.It was a Thursday so I had only two days left before leaving for Rome. Which also meant it was finally time for the necessary preparations to make me convincing enough to stand in front of Alessio’s family as his girlfriend.What that entailed was a wardrobe upgrade plus beauty maintenance, family research
