All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Cook: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Coraline“What?” Alessio asked when he eventually noticed I was just staring at him and not saying anything for a long moment, my mind clearly not on the dance anymore.I gave myself a visible shake before answering with a painted-on smile. “Nothing. I just haven’t seen you with a medium stubble before.”He raised a brow, one corner of his lips quirking. “Medium stubble?”“Yeah, fuller than a light stubble but less than a heavy stubble. So… medium stubble.”I hadn’t realized it but the music had turned into something slow and romantic while my thoughts had wandered. Now we were dancing so close I was practically glued to his hard body, both of us moving smoothly across the floor.“Do you want me to shave it off?” he asked me in an intimate drawl.Deciding to be transparent, I slowly shook my head. “No. I kind of like it.”“Only kind of?”I rolled my eyes and finally dropped my gaze from his, a little wary that I might randomly blurt out the three little words echoing in my chest.That

CoralineSlowly closing the door behind me, I watched as tears gathered in Sofía’s eyes with her hands wringing together in front of her.Of course, I knew what she wanted to apologize for but I still waited to hear her say it.“I’m so sorry, I tried to kiss Alessio yesterday.” She gave a broken hiccup as her tears spilled onto her cheeks. “I wasn’t thinking and I’m ashamed of my actions. After he rejected me, I felt really terrible. I’m sure I’d have felt even worse if we had kissed because you don’t deserve that. So I’m glad he did what he did. I just wanted to confess to you because I’m so regretful and I can only hope that you eventually forgive me.”She was full-on crying now and she looked so pathetic that I couldn’t even hold on to any hurt feelings I might have felt.She had loved Alessio ever since her childhood days so I could sympathize with her a bit because now it seemed she had lost him for good. It still didn’t excuse her actions but I wasn’t Alessio's real girlfriend t

AlessioI was in such deep shit.This whole fake girlfriend idea was backfiring so hard on me.My family loved Coraline. Of course, that was expected. She was perfect for me.What wasn’t expected was me realizing the same thing.That night, when she looked me in the eyes and told me she wanted to leave earlier than we had planned, it felt like the world around me was ending.Somewhere along the way, I’d gotten so entangled with her that I couldn’t go a full moment without the thought of her stuck in my head.At first, I thought it was about the sex. Sex with her was mind-blowing. Out of this world. Being inside her pussy was an experience I would never be able to replicate with another woman.But I hadn’t gotten off for more than a week now and the feelings in my chest only seemed to be growing stronger.Seeing her dancing, laughing, interacting with the people I held close to my heart was doing something irreversible to the organ.I watched her a lot, stared at her when she thought I

CoralineWe got to the booth just as the couple there were collecting their printed pictures and leaving.“Hello! Beautiful couple.” The photographer grinned at us, showing slightly uneven teeth as he waved us towards the marked spot.“Ten euros, each picture. I print it right away and you take it with you,” he said in clipped but clear English, his accent unfamiliar.Alessio nodded for him to start and he stepped back behind his tripod, adjusting stuff on his camera.“I pose you or you pose yourselves?” He looked from behind the lens as Alessio’s hand slid to my waist and drew me to himself.“We’re good.” Alessio replied, turning to face me fully, then lifting my hands and placing them around his neck.I smiled and pretended my heart wasn’t beating as fast as a war drum in my chest as two clicks of the camera went off.“Wowww, perfecto! Now give me something more relaxed, more playful!”Forcing myself to release myself to the moment, I inhaled deeply and grabbed one of Alessio’s hand

Coraline“That’s crazy.” I said to Ash during our daily FaceTime call, digesting the information she just told me.Apparently, her and Darren had been photographed by the paparazzi that night they went for dinner together and the pictures were made to seem like they were out on a romantic date.Now she was frustrated because her publicist told her not to shut down the rumors since the buzz could help boost fan engagement for their upcoming series.“The pictures are everywhere, Cora,” she exclaimed helplessly, looking like she was seconds away from tearing out her hair in annoyance. “Celebrity magazines, gossip blogs, fan pages. Darren’s popularity is through the roof here so everyone’s eating up the story.”“Is he pissed too?” I prodded.She rolled her eyes. “No. The fool is as unbothered as always. Says I shouldn’t stress anything because the news will die down soon. Which I don’t believe will happen for one second.”“Since you can’t deny the claims, don’t fuel them either. Meaning y
