Unbeatable Chef Xenon
Chapter 2
"..N..n..Natalia??" Xenon gasped, freezing to the spot without moving. He stared in shock, confirming his fears and leaving the cart of food he's supposed to serve on the table for the guests and went to meet them boldly.
The steam coming out from his body was so hot, he had used his last savings to get a ring for Natalia who was his everything. His life was not perfect, neither was it luxurious but she was the only one that stood by him since kids.
"Damn! My childhood friend!" Xenon cried inwardly.
She loved him or was it just an imagination? Her parents weren't too wealthy either but she was willing to make life better for the both of them. He loved cooking and hoped to have his own restaurant of his own but he needed to sharpen his skills, thereby saving up and staying hungry to apply as an apprentice to cook in Royal Volt Cuisine which was located in Venice, Italy.
He would watch their shows on TV and hoped to be like the CEO who was a master in terms of delicacies and promised her to work hard to become known.
But like a dream before him, she's here!!
What the fuck?
She's married!
"Natalia!!" He cried out, causing attention and making the music stop in the background.
The lady who was smiling frowned and turned to the direction of her name when her face fell.
"Natalia, what are you doing? Are you acting in a movie?" He asked desperately, ignoring his boss's confused stare.
"Are you out of your mind Xenon?" Mr Enzo yelled in disgust.
"I'm not Boss! This lady is my fiancee!" Xenon turned to look at Natalia who was so ashamed and embarrassed by Xenon's Audacity to even approach her with such attire in the midst of such powerful people.
"God! He's so dirty" She thought Inwardly and shook her head.
"Answer me Nat, say something, we are engaged aren't we? What are you doing here with my boss? Whose wedding is this?" Xenon continued to rant.
"Do you know him babe?" Enzo asked Natalia who was quick to shake her head.
"I don't Hun, is he a beggar? Give him some money and let him leave please…this is so embarrassing." She blurted and Xenon gasped.
"Natalia, don't do this babe, please we can talk it out. I love you too much to live. I'm training so hard at the cuisine. I will do something please."
A heavy punch was sent to him and Enzo called the security Team.
"What sort of stupid embarrassment is this!! Take him out and strip him off for causing a nuisance at my wedding!" Enzo ordered and Xenon was still pleading hotly at Natalia who puffed her shoulders at such disgrace.
"What does he take me for? A stupid fool to wait for eternity? He has no hope!" She thought and kissed her new husband who smiled at her.
"We have all the time in the world babe, we don't need to rush." He said huskily and she blushed, nodding at him.
He was perfect for her, an international successful chef known across and far. She had gone to visit Xenon and everything changed when she saw him. He was cute and sexy and at that moment, she knew she was wasting her life with Xenon.
"Die Fool!!" The guards matched Enzo's face countlessly while the other one stripped his clothes off and sent hot lashes at his back.
Enzo cried, not because of the physical pain that was inflicted on him but the scarring pain in his heart that was burning for Natalia. He couldn't believe it. It was so painful.
Madame Rossetti saw the scene and laughed out loud with Lucas, clapping her hands.
"He can't even differentiate between a plate and a cup, he's going after the Boss' wife and claims to be her fiance!"
"Don't mind him, so useless and proud. I had advised him to pick up garbage on the streets and sell empty containers but he's keen on wasting his money here! Now look at him, I pity that old woman of his at home."
Lucas replied to her, folding his hands and he watched excitedly. Hoping Xenon dies from the beating.
He had done nothing to him but he saw Xenon so Intimidating because of his looks. His wretched life didn't hide it from him that he was so beautiful and he felt so threatened.
"That woman would die!" Rossetti spat out and went inside, leaving Xenon to writhe in pain all in the pool of his own blood.
He couldn't move nor make any sound, he felt paralysed all he could see was pains swimming all over his body. He laid there till evening and everyone that passed him, mocked and laughed at him as a bride snatcher
A car drove carelessly and almost hit him, luckily for her headlights, she was able to see that a human being was lying carelessly on the road.
She got out of her car and gasped.
"Oh My God!! He's dying. Are you okay Mister! What are you doing here?" The young lady shook in fear and stared at Xenon who was all bloodied.
She called randomly for help and asked for people to lift him into her car so he could be treated.
Luckily for her, her father's hospital is nearby and she was the best cardiologist and specialist in the hospital.
In no time, she reached the hospital and got him for treatment.
****
Xenon was dull, blank and so unappreciative. He was so angry with the world that he was angry at the lady for saving him.
"You could have just let me die!" He spat out rudely at the young lady in a white coat whose name tag had Felicity Royco on it.
"Really? I should have let you die? Fine!! Let's go back to the streets then, I'll call the men who beat you up and leave you to die. You'll pay for the treatment, fuel my car and apologise to the nurses who wasted their time treating you!" She yelled at him angrily and Xenon gasped feeling remorseful.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that." He said and she rolled her eyes.
"I didn't mean any of that too, anyway what were you doing there on the streets looking like that! Anyone could have hit you! Don't you have a father, mother or sister that cares about you?" She asked and his eyes snapped open as if being shocked by electricity.
"My grandmother!" He cried.
"I have her and she's not feeling fine, I need to go…uhm…Felicity." He said , looking at her and removing the syringe and drip connected to him.
"Wait!..."
"I'll make it to you…" He said and dashed out from the ward, running out of the hospital to the streets of Venice.
His dear granny was sick and he had forgotten about it..
Her Medicine was supposed to be taken by 6:00pm but it's now past 10:00pm
"God please, don't let anything happen to her please." He cried, running so fast and ignoring his pain and the nauseating feeling in his throat.
"Oh dear Lord! Granny!" He cried at the sight before him. She was sitting there trying to get her medicine as she coughed so badly with blood dripping from her mouth and nose.
He reached for the medicine and grabbed it, shoving it into her mouth and giving her water.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Granny. I messed up." Xenon cried bitterly as she coughed even worse and louder.
"Listen to me carefully Xenon, I don't have time anymore.." She said and his heart dropped in raw fear.
Unbeatable Chef XenonChapter 3"Listen to me Xenon, I don't have time." His granny coughed so hard clutching his chest, and his heart fell in dread, shaking his head in disapproval."No granny, you have all the time in the world…please don't say things like that please." Xenon dried feeling her pulse which was getting weaker but she smiled."You're a good child Xenon but it's okay, listen to me please." She was and Xenon nodded, swallowing bitterly as tears pooled at his eyes."You're the Spice Grandmaster from the Land of Viscaria but your mother defiled the rule and fell with a human making your Royal ring to be taken away from you. The only way to have this ring is when the last descendant of Viscaria is dead, which is me. I've stayed too long, and I need to leave. You don't have to suffer anymore.."His granny said and Xenon frowned deeply, staring at her as if she was reciting some myth."It's been a long time Granny told me stories, does she want to tell me a story before she d
The Unbeatable Chef XenonChapter 4****"Oh my God! Natalia!" Xenon ran towards them as he saw his Fiancée and Enzo being wheeled in a critical situation. They were both on life support and his eyes were filled with tears."You know them?" Felicity asked Xenon who was in tears and he nodded."She's my Fiancée."Felicity was confused, she knew Natalia as the new bride that got married to the famous Chef of Royal Volt Cuisine but she chose to believe him anyway."They got into an accident on the way for their honeymoon and it resulted in this, it's bad. So bad that I doubt they will live.". She said and his heart twisted painfully and he suddenly felt the natural urge to do something.His body became so hot and his fingers itched to touch something like a plate, spoon or pot. Why was he wishing to touch something as stupid as that when the most important people in his life was dying.Her face was covered in blood and Enzo's arm was broken.He wished to help them, for a moment he wished
Unbeatable Chef XenonChapter 5*****Royal Volt Kitchen was as large as an estate, ranging from different sections and equipment used for cooking.Different stands of gas cooker lined up by the sides of the wall and a large smooth glass storage in the form of a cupboard was neatly constructed upwards.Xenon knew he wasn't in control of himself, he was an apprentice whose favourite meal was Instant noodles and the mouthwatering chicken Madam Rossetti prepared which he had no slightest Idea.He wished to learn but she would never show him, but yell out her frustrations at him.But right now everything seemed magical to him, using the pot, adding the Ingredients to the pot and seeing everything move at his speed.He was busy adding every paste that contained basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil and some hard cheese to give the most incredible aroma anyone had ever had.The amusing part was that he felt like a brand new person. His eyes glowed but he couldn't see it.Lucas was dumb struck
Unbeatable Chef XenonChapter 6Xenon pushed past the securities as if he hypnotised them. Infact before he could even say a word, the aroma of what was emanating from the flask made them halt and he was granted free access.His grandmother was now in a ward but Felicity had told him that she's dead. He shook his head off such thought and believed that the madness he was displaying with his hands, that's she would get well once she taste his meal.He located where Felicity was, and passed through the sliding doors and walking down the white glassy terrace, reaching the last door before pushing it open.Felicity gasped at his presence and rushed to him at once!"This is strictly out of bounds Xenon!" "I'm sorry, but I need to give her this." He replied pushing a yellow and silver designer's flask he had take from the kitchen."Are you crazy?" Felicity cried out. "You're bringing a meal to a patient that's barely conscious.""I know it's crazy but believe me that a drop must make them
Unbeatable Chef XenonChapter 7Mr Vlad slowly dropped the flask on the table and as soon as she heard a funny sound from his bone, he tried to sit up and get a soothing relief instead of the usual pain that shoots a maddening pain up to his spinal cord.As the Chief Medical Officer of Last Choice Hospital, he had a ghastly accident on his way to conduct an emergency surgery for a VIP patient, causing his legs and muscles, the ligaments and tendons in his legs was almost ruptured, affecting his spinal cord which was incredibly painful and brought out a cold nature in him.Despite all his money, no one could treat him and restore his legs. He had traveled far and near in most countries but he was being told the same news over and over again!But right now that crack in his bone sent a signal that something miraculous had happened.His hands trembled as he held the handle of the steel wheelchair and applied pressure to get up which he shakily did and a tear slipped down his eyes in shoc
Unbeatable Chef XenonChapter 8****Xenon was thrown in the cold and smelly cell and he wondered if there was a building specially meant for prisoners, It was a large building and all the rooms were so tiny with iron bars but what freaked him out was that he was the only one to be locked up there and he dreaded the thought so bad!He didn't want to be locked up and abandoned here when he had done nothing wrong!!He was so mad at the crippled man that he regretted crossing paths with him when he should be on his path. He wishes the harsh men get locked up instead while he goes to the hospital to check up on Natalia!His life was already a mess and he wondered what went wrong. The stupid ring his grandmother had given to him seemed so useless to him and he felt he should throw it away instead of clinging to a myth that never existedHe slowly took off the ring to check on it again when he felt the padlock break instantly before his eyes and fell. The two men standing outside the fell w
Unbeatable Chef XenonChapter 9****[Two months later]Xenon was discharged from the hospital since he fell into a coma after donating his kidney to save Natalia.The first person he saw was Felicity who was checking his vital signs, pulse, and any other thing to be sure he was in a good state.Her father had specifically warned her to take extra care of the man who gave him a chance to work.He was placed in the most expensive VIP ward and given extreme care for the past 60 days."Hey…" He greeted Felicity casually who returned a smile to him.She still felt guilty about what she had said to him and she hoped he would forget about it."How long have I been here, where's Natalia?" He asked and tried to stand up but felt dizzy."Calm down Xenon, You still can't walk freely yet since you just got discharged. Natalia is fine all thanks to you and fell into a coma immediately after you were brought out from the theatre. We shouldn't have conducted that surgery because you were malnourish
Unbeatable Chef XenonChapter 10****Andrea and Alec bowed before Drako who was seated in his living room with two ladies, almost unclad, and giving him a massage on his shoulders.He had a stick of cigarettes on his lips as he puffed out the tobacco smoke and clicked his fingers for the ladies to excuse him."So you're saying that the last grandson of Michelle is alive?" He asked them, smirking and biting his lips uncomfortably.His silver hair was packed tightly with a band and his face gave a cold dangerous vibe and they nodded."And you let him go scot free huh? How dare you!!" He yelled loudly."I'm the only Spice Grand King to exist, I should be the only one to rule, and not some cursed peasant!!" He stated arrogantly and averted his gaze back to the two men who now cowered under him in fear."Where the fuck is he?""In Venice?" Andrea, shakily replied."And where the Fuck is Venice!!" He yelled again and they swallowed."In the city, a state in Italy where the humans dwell" Al
