Playing her cards right
~ Andrea’s POV ~
I felt really depressed when Cole did not go back to the apartment. I had no idea where he was and I can’t really ask anyone about it. I was scared that he finally had the courage to go after Roxy. I may have no idea why she left but I know that once they talk and see each other I would be out of the picture again.
One week that’s how long I haven’t seen him. Leo has been asking where he is and I just kept telling him that he was working. He misses him as much as I do. I know nothing bad has happened to him. If there was, it would be all over the news.
"I miss daddy." Leo stated as I was making him breakfast.
"I know champ,
Deciding to live again (Part 1) ~ Cole’s POV ~ After almost screwing Andrea again. I was totally furious at her. She really need to stay the fuck out of my room. I’m a guy and having someone willing to suck my cock would really fog my judgment. I didn’t feel like working so I just stayed at home and acted as if nothing happened. I got a text from Jake and he insisted that I meet him. It seemed urgent so I went over to his place. “Hey, what’s up?” I greeted them when I found Jake and Nicholai at the poolside. “You went over to see my wife without telling us.” Jake stated angrily. “You let her go. Stop acting like I have to report to you about my whereabouts. She is your ex-wife but she is still a good friend of mine.” I pointed out. “I don’t have to fucking ask for your permission to see her.” “Cole, you need to remember that there are lines that we should never cross.” Jake yelled an
Deciding to live again (Part 2) ~ Cole’s POV ~ I tried my best to avoid any more intimate interaction with Andrea. I just don’t see myself being with her forever. I want someone that would be with me and would never leave me. I want what Cassie and Nicholai have. It makes me wonder if that might have been Roxy and I let her go. What if it is someone else but I’m too smitten to Roxy that I refuse to see others. I am so fucking messed up. I started to lock my bedroom and tried not to send any mixed signals towards Andrea. I don’t want her to misinterpret my actions so I avoid her as much as I can. It was hard to avoid her though since we are living together.
Preparingfor the interview~ Andrea’s POV ~I can’t believe that I agreed to be part of the freak show Cole has orchestrated to save Roxy’s reputation. The things that are being mentioned about her were really below the belt. They said that she was a hypocrite and a bitch. She has been sleeping around to get where she was. She is a gold digger and could not live with the fact that Cole wanted to acknowledge Leo. She didn’t want to share a single cent with Leo so she left and found a rich old man to fuck.There was so much shit that they were saying about her and I actually feel bad for her. She wasn’t here to defend herself. I can see that Cole was getting affected with
The interview~ Cole’s POV ~ I looked at Andrea and I saw a different woman standing in front of me. Now, I know what others meant when they say all she needed was a makeover and she can be a knock out. I offered to walk Mia and therest of the team to their car.“Did I do a great job?” Mia asked as we were on the elevator.“You know that you are great with your work. Why do you need to hear me praise you?” I stated as I ran my fingers on her cheeks.“It boosts my ego. Besides, the poor girl seems to be infatuated with you. Tell me what the real score between the two of you is.” She replied seriously.“Nothing. She’s the mother of my son.” I replied. “You did a great job. You have a way of making people look even better.”“Thanks.” She replied. “I offered to dress her but she declined. May
After the interview~ Cole’s POV ~ "Are you okay?" Andrea asked me."I could use a drink." I admitted. "Andrea, thank you.""You know I would do anything for you." She replied. "Let's hope that this stops any more gossip about Roxy." She stated sitting down next to me."I hope so. You guys still need to do a pictorial with Leo tomorrow." Kiera stated as she handed me a glass of scotch."Why the hell did I even agree to this?" I stated after drinking."You needed to release a statement, besides Leo needs to get used to being in the spotlight." Kiera replied playfully.“You mean to say that they would still be trying to follow around Leo and try to take pictures
It meant nothing ~ Andrea’s POV ~ I know that I was being too optimistic but I can’t help it. After the article was published Cole was like a different person. He started being nice to me and he seemed to be interested in me. We started having small talks during breakfast and discussed how our days went during dinner. “I can’t believe that bitch. She was acting like she is better than everyone. Imagine she told her daughter to not play with Leo since we aren’t married and living together.” I stated as we were watching TV while Leo was in his room. “Leo can be friends with the other kids. Just tell Leo to stay away from her daughter. There is no sense in making a big deal about it.”
Life goes on~ Cole’s POV ~ I knew having Blair back in New York would be great. She was really fun to be with. I was just getting annoyed that she was encouraging Andrea’s infatuation. I am not really sure why people keep insisting that I should settle for Andrea. Sure we have a kid together but that doesn’t guarantee that we are going to be compatible. She looks nice when Mia styled her but she isn’t that girl. She’s just plain Andrea. Things are getting crazy with Blair and Jake. Blair was doing her best to avoid Jake. But she couldn’t really avoid her forever especially when Cassie gave birth. We were all excited to see Angelique Nicola."She is so beautiful. Thank go
Frustrated me~ Andrea’s POV ~I know that Cassie doesn't likeme. She isn't doing a great job of hiding it. She is still sailing the Roxy and Cole love story.I mean, obviously everyone would consider Roxy as the best choice to be with Cole. I can be his second choice but he refuses to choose. If only I can change his mind. I saw him talking to Blair at the poolside. They both look happy. They were laughing and I wish I could make Cole laugh that way. I wish he would give me a chance. I wish he could see me more than Leo's mother. I just wish I wouldn't remain invisibleto him.“What’s with the long face?” Nicholai asked.“I just remembered something.” I lied while staring at Cole and Blair.“Those two look like they are having fun.” Nicholai stated when he realized who I was looking at.“They seemed to be really close.&r
~ Cole’s POV ~I made my way back to Long Island and headed to Jake’s house. I heard them laughing and I felt furious. They were having fun while I was running around like a crazy person looking for Roxy. These people whom I call friends are having fun and chose to ignore me.“What the hell is wrong with you people?” I yelled angrily when I saw them eating happily. “What is this, some kind of payback for me telling you guys that I’d chose Roxy over any of you guys?”“Calm down, Mr. Sinclair.” Roxy stated and I froze in place staring at her. “I ask them not to inform you that I came here to see you. I needed time to compose myself before I tell you what I needed to tell you.”“Honey, why didn’t you just call me? I could have just headed to where you were at and you shouldn’t have to come here.” I exclaimed after I got over my initial shock.
~ Roxy’s POV ~I was staring at my luggage after Andrea left. Everything that she told me made me think about the things that had happened since I left Cole. I was telling the truth when I told her that nothing was changing my mind about being with Cole. I can’t be with him for now. I have to do something before I leave.“Hey, are you all set up?” My father asked.“Yes, I am done packing. I already called the driver and he is going to pick me up in a few minutes.” I replied.“I can’t help but overhear your conversation with Cole’s ex-wife. Are you not really going to hear him out?” He asked me seriously.“Nothing is going to change my mind. I am not getting back with Cole. I meant what I said. Cole and I are over. What Andrea told me made me realize that I have to do something really important that I have been avoiding for years.”“What do
Finding her~ Cole’s POV ~When I found out that Roxy was staying with his father I went over to his house but nobody was there. I called Dr. Ressler but he wasn’t ready to hear me out and just told me to he don’t want anything to do with me. They were staying at a different place. I was headed to see her when Andrea called.“Cole, I talked with Roxy and she’s leaving.”“What do you mean you talked to her? How did you even find her?”“Cole, she is going to leave and head back to her medical mission. I explained everything to her but she told me that it doesn’t change anything. She already made her decision about leaving. She was alre
Confrontations~ Roxy’s POV ~I can’t believe what was happening. I looked at my dad sitting at the bedside of Anita. She was intubated and they all agreed to pull the plug of her life support today. I was really surprised when I saw my step sister, Jane, when I got the food I had delivered. She was living next door.She explained to me what happened. After I left my father sold out some of his assets to pay for the hospital funds. He explained to my siblings that they can no longer have the same lifestyle and they were okay with it. Anita got depressed and got into an accident and today they decided that it was time to let her go.“Hi dad.” I greeted him.“Roxan
They just can't stay mad~ Cole’s POV ~I can’t believe that Evgeni would actually pull the whole mafia thing on me. Nobody was willing to help me find Roxy. I was positive that she was still in New York. There was no way Evgeni could have sneaked him out of the city. He left to fly back to Russia before telling me that no one in their right mind would help me find Roxy.I ended up feeling upset that I couldn’t find her. I feel useless, especially now that my friends obviously hated me. I can’t even go see Blair. I wanted to visit her after hearing that she was taken to the hospital but I partly blame myself for it. They have always had my back but I guess we are on our separate way
I hate you but still love you~ Andrea’s POV ~It’s been three days since Cole left. Blair was back home from the hospital. None of them talked about what happened. Everyone was being nice and considerate of me but I can’t take all their sympathy. They seem pretty convinced that Cole and Roxy are the real culprit.My conscience is killing me. For the past few days, I realized that I put myself in this situation. I mean, Cole and I both agreed to the idea but it was my idea. I wanted to take a chance on him. I proposed the whole marriage shenanigans and now all his friends hate him. They didn’t even tell him about Blair and I know how much Blair means to him. We were having dinner at J
~ Roxy’s POV ~I wanted to sleep but I couldn't. I was exhausted but my mind kept me awake most of the evening. This is going to be rough. I don’t know how I can face my friends again. They hated me for sure. I had no way to redeem myself. I just have to go and not be involved with Cole again. I ended things with him."We have a problem." Claire informed me the next day when she got to my room."What is it?" I asked worriedly."I tried to rebook our flight for today and apparently you can't travel out of New York. It states that you are banned to leave the city.""Shit. I forgot that I was trying to escape a billionaire. He can control this. He can make sure that I stay here." I stated annoyed. "We should have driven out of New York yesterday.""This is not right. He can't hold you here. We have to do something.""We can't do anything until Monday. We have to be smart in dealing with this."
Cat is out of the bag (part 3) ~ Andrea’s POV ~ Blair embraced me when I watched Cole carrying Leo to our house. I can’t believethat I did allthat. I never wanted to kill anyone in my life but I wanted Roxy to die. Blair asked Jake to cancel the party. She wasn’t feeling well after what happened. I felt bad that I ruined the day for them. “I’m sorry. I just went crazy.” I stated crying as we were in the living room. “It’s perfectly understandable.” Blair replied. “I almost killed Sheila because I was jealous due to false gossip. This isn’t gossip. They both played as allofus. I can't believe that they fooled us.” “I am moving back to Canada with Le
Cat is out of the bag (part 2) ~ Cole’s POV ~ “He travelled halfway around the world to date me. I’ll be stupid not to give it a shot.” Roxy stated before kissing Robert’s cheeks. “Oh please get a room.” Claire stated and we all started laughing. “Can I have a word with you?” I stated seriously at Roxy. “Cole, I already talked with Uncle Stan and if you have any questions about the case you should talk to him about it.” Roxy replied. “Honey, come on. This is just ridiculous. Stop trying to make me jealous. I know Robert is just your friend and he isn’t your type.” I stated. “Cole, shut up.” Blair stated seriously. “If you want to act stupid, do it somep
