The truth
~ Cole’s POV ~
I was still not sure why I agreed to have my accounts frozen but I think it’s for the better. Luckily for me a hot doctor was keeping me busy. I had flowers sent to her every day in her office. I see her walking down the hall of the hospital regularly for three days since I’ve been watching over Charlotte in the morning while Jonathan went to the office.
I see her and it makes me wonder why she is attracted to a married man? Did she know that he was married? Why was I scared to approach her? Why do I not have the balls to talk to her? I have never been intimidated by a woman but she intimidates me. She has this authority in her. She seems to have her life right on tra
Seattle ~ Cole’s POV ~ It’s been more than a week since I saw Dr. Henson. Charlotte just got discharged and I had no reason to be hanging around the hospital. So I headed to her office and found that it was locked. I had to see her. I miss seeing her. But where is she? Is she sick or something? Did something bad happen to her? “Oh hi, Mr. Sinclair, it's great to see you again.” She stated excitedly. “Hello. I’m sorry but I don’t remember your name. I am looking for Dr. Henson.” I stated apologetically. “I am Claire, Roxy’s best friend. She is not here.” She replied. “Oh, Claire right, I’m sorry I’m not good with names but I remember your pretty face anywhere I se
Neighbours!!! ~ Cole’s POV ~ I didn’t have it in me to see Roxy. How the hell can I go see her and disappoint Claire? She thinks that I would be good for her. I’m not good for anyone. I can’t have her best friend hope that I’m the right man for her. I’m just trouble. I don’t even know why I’m running after her. Luckily, I have my friends to keep me entertained while I try to figure out my date for Jake’s wedding. “Hey, guys.” Cassie arrived at Jake’s and Gabby’s place. “So what’s our agenda for today?” “We are going skydiving.” Jake replied excitedly. “I don’t think I want to do that.” Cassie stated. “Don’t worry it’s going to be fun. You can jump with a profess
The auction ~ Roxy’s POV ~ I lost a bet with Claire and now I had to attend a charity auction on her behalf. I know that she was just trying to challenge me since I told her I am not getting involved with anyone for now. I hurriedly went to the hotel where the orientation was being held for the auction. This is the first time I am attending by myself. The last two times we attended together. “Hey, is this seat taken.” I asked. “No, it isn’t.” She replied. “So what did I miss?” I asked. “Nothing much, she is just giving a run down on how the fundraising would work.” She replied nicely. “Oh okay. I am Dr. Roxanne Henson by the way. You can call me Roxy.”
First Date??? ~ Cole’s POV ~ I felt nervous as I looked at Roxy sitting across from me at the gazebo. This is the first time I’m having a candlelit dinner with someone. I do have dinners with the women I go out with but not in a romantic setting. Come to think of it, most of the women I go out with are the ones that I meet at parties or the club. And this romantic dinner was not even something I usually do. This is Nicholai’s style. This was a reservation he made. “So you finally agreed to have dinner with me at last.” I stated as we were having dinner. “Well you did pay $12000.00 just to eat with me. So basically I had no choice but to comply.” She replied, smiling at me.
Second base ~ Cole’s POV ~ I met the woman of my dreams. I enjoyed talking with her. She was different from any other woman I’ve been with. We were flirting at her front door and all I wanted to do was drag her to my apartment and have my ways with her. But she made it clear all night that she would not be sleeping with me. I never expected that she would do the first move. The moment I tasted her lips I abandoned my common sense. She was kissing me hungrily and I let her be in charge. She pushed me against her apartment door. We were practically trying to rip each other's clothes by the time she stopped kissing me. “Cole…” She stated while trying to even her breathing. “
Being in control ~ Cole’s POV ~ I know I was being dumb. But I can’t find myself going back home after I walk Roxy to the hospital. So instead of going home, I stayed at the waiting area for her. Even after she told me to leave I didn’t. I can see that she was really sad and I wanted to be here for her. She’s acting all tough but I can see in her eyes that she was feeling lost. “Cole, what are you still doing here?” She stated as she sat next to me. “Hey, I was waiting for you.” I replied sleepily. “Did I fall asleep?” “You’re crazy. I told you to go home.” She smiled at me sweetly. “I am waiting for you. And I am not going anywhere. You can’t just push me away a
Taking it slow ~Cole’s POV~ I wanted things to work between Roxy and me. If it means taking it slow then I would take it slow. I wouldn’t try to seduce her to sleep with me. I think I just need to wait for things to turn on its own. I know that she felt the chemistry that we have but I am more interested in our compatibility. I want to get to know her and see where we are in terms of compatibility. “Hello.” She greeted me as she peeked on the door. “Hi. Are you busy?” I asked, smiling at her. “It is five o’clock in the morning.” She replied sleepily. “What do you want?” “I have been trying to check if you were home for the past two days.” I admitted. “I
Meeting Cole’s friends ~ Cole’s POV ~ I walked out of her bedroom before I lost whatever self-control I have left in me. How can she remain in complete composure after the kiss we shared? How can she remain unfazed being naked in front of me? I need to be careful with this woman. She is not like anyone I have been with. We met Jake and Gabby for lunch before the party. “Hey Cole, sorry we’re a bit late. Jake had to drop by his office.” Gabby stated. “It’s okay.” I kissed her on the cheeks and pulled a chair for her. “My date is just in the restroom. I am really excited for you guys to meet her.” “Where is your new girl from this time?” Jake stated. “You would be surprised.” I replied proudly. “Here she is.” I stood up and pulled a chair for Roxy. “Wow, you are so gorgeous.” Gabby stated, smiling at us. “Thanks. You’
~ 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
