Cooking Manga

Your life has always been a horrible mess, like happiness didn’t want you to be happy. Being caged, used and controlled was all your life could offer, and you just couldn’t stop it or escape it. But then you met him. You thought he was a different person, so even after being warned, you chose to go with him, straight into a trap you would never escape from. He was cold, blunt, and unhappy himself, so when you expected him to say, “This is your home now, do whatever you want, for I will always protect you,” disappointment slapped because he said this instead: “I own you now. You’ll be in charge of all the cooking and cleaning in this house. You are not permitted to take one step out of this mansion; making any little mistake could cost you your life. Whenever I call you, respond immediately, don’t make me call you twice; that could also cost you your life. This house must remain clean as it is right now, and at night, be on guard in this house. I don’t want to catch you sleeping, it might also cost you your life… I hope you understand.” Just then you realised, you were been owned again, not being loved. The 25th of September is always a day of agony, torment, misery, pain and anguish. It all started on the 25th of September, and just like it started… would it end? Is Felix not who you pictured him to be? Would he turn out to be a bigger mess… or not. What would happen to you now, Benita?

I applied for a popular online job as a personal chef. I thought I'd be cooking simple, home-style meals, but I quickly found myself trapped in a world of surprises. The food they were craving was me, served on a platter. The wealthy women were looking for excitement, torturing me night after night. But what they didn't realize was, the real thrill came when the dogs turned on each other.

"In the kitchen, she's a firestorm. In love, she's about to burn." Youngest Perez. Billionaire. CEO. Head-turner. Maxine Avrielle Griego Perez has it all-beauty, brains, and billions. With multiple successful businesses under her name, she's unstoppable. But behind the glam life, may isang pangarap siyang matagal nang hindi natutupad: To become a certified chef. As her final requirement, she's sent to train at Moonlight Kitchenette, a cozy restaurant owned by her tito-but managed by Chef Timothy Hayden Sanders, a perfectionist known for being cold, demanding, and insanely hot. At first, clash sila. She's used to being in control. He's used to obedience. But in between the yelling, stolen glances, and late-night cooking sessions, something starts to simmer.

Five years later, Maxine returns as a world-class chef and single mom. Fierce, focused, and definitely not here to rekindle anything. But fate isn't done with them yet. Timothy is back, full of regret-and still in love. He wants answers. He wants her back. What he doesn't know is... he already has a piece of her. Secrets will be exposed. Old wounds reopened. And somewhere between revenge, forgiveness, and five-star meals... a second chance might be served.
