Professional Chef

After the heated kiss, Sebastian's expression softened, his eyes still burning with desire. "I wasn't avoiding you," he whispered, his voice laced with sincerity. "I just want you to focus on your studies, not me all the time. You're a topper, baby," he said, a hint of pride in his tone. "And if you don't score well, I'll think it's because of me." His gaze locked onto hers, intense and serious. "In college, we should remain like professors and students—professional and detached. But outside..." His voice dropped to a husky whisper. "You can consider me your boyfriend, husband, friend... Daddy." **** "Adeline!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with emotion. But as he wrapped his arms around her, she distanced herself, her body language screaming rejection. "Sebastian, don't," Adeline warned. "Why didn't you answer my calls? I've been worried sick, imagining the worst, and feeling helpless. It's been three agonizing days since I last saw you, and I've been unable to focus on anything." Adeline remained silent, "What's wrong, Adeline? You're scaring me," he pleaded. "I'm pregnant," she stated. Sebastian's face lit up with joy, his eyes shining with excitement. "Oh, Adeline! We're going to be parents!" he exclaimed. But his happiness was short-lived, as Adeline's next words shattered his dreams. "I'm going to abort this child," Adeline declared. Sebastian's world crumbled around him, his heart shattering into a million pieces. "But before I do, I wanted to tell you," Adeline continued. "That's why I'm here—to end this chapter of our lives and move on." Adeline's voice dripped with finality. "Everything between us ends with this child," she declared.

Catarina Piromalli est une jeune femme dont la vie a été marquée par la tragédie depuis son enfance. À l'âge de quatre ans, elle a été témoin de la perte de ses parents, Beatrice et Andrea Piromalli, dans un terrible accident de voiture lors d'une poursuite. Cependant, son destin a pris un tournant inattendu lorsque Don Salvatore Mancuso, le puissant chef de la Ndrangheta, l'a sauvée du chaos de cette nuit fatidique. Catarina a grandi à l'ombre de la Ndrangheta, élevée comme une fille adoptive par la famille Mancuso. Cependant, la vie de Catarina a pris un tournant inattendu lorsque Dante, l'héritier des affaires de la famille Mancuso, qui avait auparavant montré un profond mépris pour elle, a surpris tout le monde en confessant son amour pour elle le jour de son dix-huitième anniversaire. Le dilemme de Catarina s'est intensifié lorsqu'elle a réalisé que son affection pour Dante grandissait également, malgré leur éducation comme frère et sœur.

Dans ce monde de loyauté brisée et de pouvoirs clandestins, l’amour n’est qu’un leurre, une faiblesse que seuls les naïfs osent encore convoiter. Moi, Nina, je l’ai appris à mes dépens. Tout avait commencé comme une mission simple : séduire Espoir, le chef d’une mafia redoutée, m’infiltrer dans sa vie et soutirer les informations qui mettraient fin à son empire. Ce n’était pas la première fois que Jonas, mon patron, me confiait une mission aussi risquée. Mais cette fois, quelque chose était différent. Espoir n’était pas comme les autres hommes. Dès le premier regard, m’a troublée. Pas seulement par son charisme glacial, mais par une profondeur dans ses yeux qui semblait murmurer des secrets que même lui ignorait. Pourtant, je savais qui il était : un homme dangereux, un ennemi. Et moi, j’étais sa prétendue alliée, une femme avec une arme secrète – son cœur. Mais ce que je n’avais pas prévu, c’était ma propre faiblesse. Je m’étais promis de ne jamais mêler mes émotions à mes missions. L’amour était un luxe que je ne pouvais pas me permettre, surtout dans ce monde cruel. Pourtant, chaque instant passé avec lui fragilisait mes résolutions. Et maintenant, je suis là, prise au piège entre deux feux : Jonas, à qui je dois tout et qui ne tolère pas l’échec, et Espoir, cet homme que je devais détruire, mais qui m’a fait redécouvrir des émotions que je pensais perdues. Alors que tout s’écroule autour de moi, une question me hante : jusqu’où suis-je prête à aller pour protéger l’homme que je devrais trahir… et l’enfant que je dois sauver ? Mon nom est Nina. Et ceci est mon histoire, une histoire d’amour, de trahison et de rédemption.
