Preparing for 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
Planning Leo's birthday~ Cole’s POV ~I woke up with the sound of my cell phone ringing. I lazily picked it up. It was past one in the morning. I saw Blair was calling. This woman is getting on my nerves. I love having her around but why the hell is she calling me at this hour."Hey, do you know what time it is?" I answered sleepily."Do you want me to answer that or are you just being dramatic?" Blair stated."I have no time for this. I am going back tosleep." I replied."Cole, don't hang up. We are downstairs parked outside your building. Andrea's drunk. Please come and get her." She pleaded."I'm coming." I replied then hung up."Sorry to wakeyou up. She fell asleep and Jake's in a foul mood." Blair stated."I got to the bar and she was already wasted. Don’t look at me like I did something wrong." Jake stated."Why did you let her drin
The make over ~ Andrea’s POV ~ I had no idea that Leo's sixth birthday would be so huge. We usually just celebrate alone. Now we have to please a lot of people. Just thinking of which organization to support is making my hangover worse. I swear I would never drink again. On the other hand, Cole took care of me and he seems really concerned. I am hopeless. Here I am still holding to my dream that one day he would see me and we can be together as a couple. Now for my present dilemma. How do they expect me to choose which charity to support? I had no idea that these organizations even existed. I looked at the list and grabbed my laptop. I started checking them but ended up sleeping on the sofa. I
Seeing her~ Cole’s POV ~I was really surprised that Blair was able to convince Andrea to update her wardrobe. I totally agree with the idea. Andrea seems to have forgotten what her size is. I actually like the way she looked with her new hairstyle. I got to give it to Blair, she knows what she is doing. I honestly don’t care how much Andrea would be spending. I perfectly know that it would be a lot especially if it involves Blair and Mia.I was really glad that Andrea was able to choose the organization for Leo’s birthday. I can see that she was taking it seriously. I would really be busy the entire week for Leo’s birthday. We hired an event organizer for the ball but I still need t
~ 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
