And it's a trope-enemies to lovers. It happens all the time, in fiction, in another universe. All the couples on this show met in messed up ways because its a fantasy, fairytale show (Snowing met afte she assualted and robbed him and he blackmailed-with the threat of death-her into doing something for him). If the trope doesn't do it for you personally fine, but that doesn't mean its a bad relationship. The trope is fairly common. However, Hook work for Cora of his own free will. Cora never commanded him to do a thing, never tortured him, simply gave him a choice "listen to Regina or team with her". Clearly he had a choice because he double-crossed her (twice). "You're now going to tell everything and do exactly as I say, because when you hold aheart, you control it."-The line that was said. [|Here's the scene in case you need it].

And even if he was working for Cora of his own free will, she still would have killed him if he interfered with her massacre, then went on with it. And given that he jumped ship as soon as he could, we can safely say he wasn't okay with it at all
