CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Coraline“Enjoy the show, dolcezza?”If the ground could open up and swallow me whole, I wanted it to happen right at this moment.I wished to be invisible. Or just disappear in a poof of smoke and not have to face the aftermath of what I had just witnessed.I slowly lowered my phone and turned off the flashlight.“Never took you as the voyeur type,” he continued speaking, not minding my non responsiveness. “But I guess we all have our secret kinks.”I couldn’t believe I had just stood there on shaky limbs while he fucked a random woman against the wall with his eyes locked on mine.I had watched him have sex. And he had watched me watch him.He hadn’t stopped, only went harder. And I never looked away too, gaze glued in morbid fascination as their bodies slapped against each other’s, eyes fixated in heated curiosity as his cock plunged into another woman’s body.Heat surged within me even now just thinking about it, and a rush of wetness pooled in my panties.Fucking hell, I needed t

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

CoralineI didn’t see Alessio the next two days. Whether he had an important project he was working on at the office or he was fucking countless women in their houses, I didn’t care. I was actually glad for his absence. I kept making him his breakfasts and dinners and stacked them in containers in his fridge. He always ate them, but I was never around to see him do so.On Friday when I got back from his house and after spending a few hours at the public library, I found two unfamiliar women standing outside the apartment door.“Oh, there you are honey.” The plump-looking one of the two said as she gestured at me.“Um, can I help you?” I asked them.“Hairstylist.” The tall one loudly popped the gum she was chewing while looking me up and down. “Annie.”“And I’m the makeup artist. You can call me Sarah.” The plump woman gushed. They were both holding carry-on boxes and looked ready to give someone a makeover.“Oh, I’m sorry. You probably have the wrong apartment. I didn’t book any of y

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

CoralineI swung open the door to see Elias stood waiting on the other side in a navy blue brocade tux. A single rose was held in his hand.He looked really good. Clean and handsome.“Hi.” I smiled at him almost shyly.“Wow, Cora. You look absolutely breathtaking.”“Thank you. So do you.” He grinned and I accepted the rose he held out to me.“For the fair lady.” He extended his arm. “Shall we? Our chariot awaits.”I giggled like a prissy debutante and took his arm. Then I locked the door behind us and we headed downstairs to the parking lot.We arrived in his sleek red Jaguar sports car and got out to a bunch of reporters and flashing cameras stationed right at the front of the venue.I gasped in surprise, not expecting the mass of them swarming around us.“Mr. Anderson, are you confirming the rumors?”“Is this the new girlfriend?”“How come you moved on so quickly from the woman you claimed to love not even one month ago?”“Mr. Anderson, are you going to be participating in the aucti

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

AlessioI sat with my legs spread in the armchair situated facing the living room’s entrance. A tumbler of whiskey was in my right hand while I held a dainty gold chain in the other, bringing the piece of jewelry up to examine it in the light of the gas fireplace.I had found it the very next morning after Coraline claimed she had lost it, bringing in a team of professional organizers to comb through the entire apartment. I hadn’t planned on using it as blackmail material but when the situation presented itself, I was powerless to resist.The large antique clock ticked above the mantelpiece and as I watched the hands move, I silently counted down the seconds till it was 10pm.It was two minutes after 10pm when I heard the familiar beeping of the door’s passcode.Her heels clicked against the vinyl floorboards and I leaned back and waited till she turned the corner and appeared in my line of sight.She stood there watching me with slitted eyes and that dress that made her look like a s

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Coraline“Hey, I was just about to call you.” Ash said when I walked through the door of the apartment. “Whose coat is that?”“Um, Alessio’s.” I replied absentmindedly.She leaned over the side of the couch towards me. “Tell me everything!”“He kissed me.”“Holy crap.” Her eyes widened. Then a slow grin started building on her face. “He got jealous, didn’t he? Seeing you with Elias at the gala.”“He didn’t get jealous. Jealousy implies that he’s capable of developing feelings for someone and acts out when that person catches someone else’s interest. That isn’t the case with Alessio. He just doesn’t want to see me happy and loves to assert his dominance at every opportunity.”“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let’s get back to the kiss. How was it?”My cheeks flamed at the memory. It hadn’t been my first kiss, but it was the only one that had made my belly swoop and my toes curl at the deliciousness of it. “Um, it was nice. It happened really fast and unexpectedly and he mostly took the lead but I s

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

CoralineI woke up the next day to a message from Alessio:‘Can you bring my breakfast to my office today? I have an early meeting and wouldn’t be at the penthouse when you arrive. My driver, Benny, will take you.’So here I was in the backseat of a sleek SUV, holding a carefully packaged breakfast box in my lap while a burly man by the name Benny drove me towards Alessio’s office.We stopped in front of a high-rise building with the words ‘K.C. Enterprises’ emblazoned across the tallest point.I knew the ‘C’ stood for Castelli but I had no idea what the ‘K’ represented. The media always speculated about it.Walking in towards the front desk where a pretty brunette lady was stationed, I pasted on a smile.“Hi, I’m Coraline Harper. I’m here to meet Mr. Castelli.”Her eyes narrowed at my appearance, gaze taking in my cotton blouse and regular jeans and concluding I didn’t belong here.“And who might you be?” she asked.“I’m his personal cook. I’m here to deliver his breakfast.”“Wow, wh

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

CoralineI swear my eyes almost fell out of my head.“W-what?”“Which do you prefer?” he asked, too calmly for my liking as if what he was proposing was something normal.This was the second time he was talking about spanking me, just casually throwing out the words like they were nothing. Was that a kink of his or something?“Look,” I finally regained my composure, sitting straighter and pinning him with a firm look of my own. “You asked me to come here to drop off your food and I’ve done so. Can I just go now? I promise I’d head to the nearest breakfast shop and get myself something to eat there.”He set down the fork and I thought he was conceding to my request.I should have known it wouldn’t be that easy.“Wow, you’ve actually really chang—” My words ended in a startled squeal when he suddenly winded one strong arm around my waist and pulled me onto his lap to straddle him.“What the hell are you doing?” I hissed loudly. Trying to pull back was a lost cause because his hand was s

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

AlessioShe lifted away from my neck and I immediately missed the feel of her warm breath against my skin.She fit so perfectly in my arms that I never wanted to let her go. But I could tell she wasn’t going to take no for an answer anymore. Our little intimate bubble had been destroyed by the entrance of Elias and especially Charlotte.“Let me go, Alessio,” she said in a calm voice that I knew she had to be forcing.Since I didn’t want to upset her further, I released my hold on her even though it was the last thing I wanted to do.She climbed off me and brushed her fingers through her blonde strands. She had left her hair down today and she looked so fucking unreal. So fucking beautiful.“I’m going to go wait outside while you finish your breakfast then come back for the containers.”She wasn’t making eye contact with me. Which I hated. I always wanted her eyes on me.“No. I want you inside my office till I’m done.” I told her in an attempt to get her into an argument with me.“Fine

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

CoralineThe next day, I stepped into the penthouse with mixed feelings about the deal I had made with Alessio in his office.I had no idea if he planned to actually follow through, but I was soon going to find out.I approached the kitchen’s doorway with quiet footsteps, then standing off to the side, I peeped inside to see if he was there already.“What are you doing?”I yelped and jumped about two feet in the air. Placing a hand on my chest to steady my racing heart, I whipped my head towards Alessio with an accusatory glare.He had a brow raised in question.“Do you always sneak up on others like that?” I demanded.“And do you always tiptoe around other people’s houses planning on catching them unawares?” He countered while I made a face. “What, did you hope I would be shirtless again?”I scoffed with a roll of my eyes but didn’t respond. I walked into the kitchen and set my tote bag on the island.“What would you like for breakfast?” I asked when he entered after me. He was dress

CHAPTER THIRTY

Coraline “I’ll drive you to the grocery store.”I turned back to look at Alessio seated with one leg crossed on the armchair in his living room, his Apple laptop perched on his knee while he worked.Today was a Thursday and he had decided to work from home. I didn’t understand why he always did it in the living room though. I was sure he had a study somewhere in this large penthouse where he could be more comfortable and wouldn’t be disturbed by the sounds of clanging pots and pans while I cleaned up the kitchen.“It’s fine. It’s just a few blocks away.” I told him and continued on my way towards the door. He was busy anyways. Why would he want to abandon his work to escort me to a place that wasn’t even that far to get to?Just as I pulled open the door, I felt him by my side, following me out into the hallway.I turned to face him and crossed my arms. “Do you want to get something? Just tell me and I’ll help you with it.”“I’m not getting anything. It’s just easier to drive there.”
