What am I doing wrong?
~ Cole’s POV ~
I am a fucking asshole. I know that Andrea had it bad for me and I took advantage of it. I fucked her repeatedly. She was so damn responsive and tight that it drove me crazy. We both enjoyed it. I haven't really had sex with anyone else after the last time I fucked her. I looked at her sleeping next to me exhausted. I can get used to this. Perhaps my friends are right. I should give us a chance.
I kissed her forehead and she snuggled close to me. I embraced her and smiled. Then I remember Roxy. She left me and I suddenly miss her. I got out of bed and got dressed. If I want to give me and Andrea a chance I shouldn't be thinking of her. She is long gone. She shouldn't be on my mind at all.
Leo isn't still going back home tonight. He would be sleeping over at Jake's house. Jake has a nanny for Simone so it wasn't
Proposalannouncement~ Andrea’s POV ~Everything felt strange after I admitted to Cole that I love him. I know he knows that I had feelings for him. It wasn't something that I kept hidden but me admitting to him made me feel anxious about what would happen next.We went to the hospital for Leo to be admitted. He needs a general checkup before the transplant and some procedure needs to be conducted before the transplant. Cole and I haven't had a chance to talk about my proposal. He said he would think about it and I don't know how long he would take before he makes up his mind.I know that I am being irrational. I care about Leo's transplant but I can't help but think about the arrangement I offered Cole. I never imagined myself to be the one proposing to the man I love and to top it off I even put divorce on the table. What the hell is wrong with me? I was clouded with lust
Unorthodox arrangement~ Cole’s POV ~I have made up my mind. I am going to marry Andrea. I reminded her about therisk that she will be taking and she seemed pretty determined that she can make me fall in love with her. I need to get over Roxy. It is time that I put her out of my system. I just need to tell Andrea my terms while we are married.Leo's transplant was a success and after two days he was discharged from the hospital. He was given some medication and was advised to have a follow up check up after two weeks. He was a strong kid. It was as if nothing happened and he insisted on going back to school. Andrea told him that he can go back to school the following week since it was already Friday the next day."So, shall we discuss our terms for our wedding?" I asked her after Leo went to sleep."Okay. What are your terms?" She asked as we were in his home office.
Prenup and Wedding Planning~ Andrea’s POV ~I can’t believe that my dream is coming to reality. I just woke up and Cole was still sound asleep. Last night we went over to Charlotte’s place for the engagement dinner she arranged. Everyone seems to be happy for us. They seem to be supporting us.“Why are you smiling?” Cole cut off my train of thoughts.“I am just happy.” I blushed when I saw him staring at me.“I am going to miss waking up next to you.” He stated.“What?” I looked at him confused.“You are headed to Canada today to make arrangements for our wedding. Did you forget?” He replied playfully as he got up from bed.“Oh right. I totally forgot.” I admitted.“Let’s shower.” He suddenly picked me up and I squealed.“Put me down, Cole.&rdq
Say you love me (part 1)~ Cole’s POV ~I headed back to New York and arranged the flights for my friends and family that would be attending our wedding. I honestly feel a bit anxious about getting married. I know that Andrea is a good person, she is the mother of my child and she is a great person to spend time with. She is perfect and the only problem is I may not be the best fit for her.Six days before the wedding my friends showed up in Canada. Nicholai, Cassie and Nicola were the first ones to arrive. Jake said he would be arriving with Sheila and Simone before lunch while Blair will be arriving with Dan, Dani and David in the evening.“So what’s the plan?” Cassie asked while we were seated in the living room.“Well tomorrow we will be having a small party. I have invited a few of my friends that would be attending the wedding.” Andrea stated.&ldqu
Say you love me (part 2)~ Andrea’s POV ~Cole can really be insensitive sometimes. I hate that he just says what he wants to say without considering what others actually feel. I perfectly understand why he refuses to say ‘I love you.’ I knew what I got myself into when I signed the divorce papers and the prenup. I can’t have cold feet because of this.I couldn’t sleep after our conversation. Cole was fast asleep so I made my way out of the room. I headed to the garden and looked at the set up for our wedding. I started to walk heading to the wedding arch and imagined Cole was waiting for me as I walked. I am getting married to the man I love and now I am feeling scared as fuck. What if I can’t make him fall in love with me?I sat under the wedding arch and started crying. I don’t know what to do. I thought that I had everything figured out. I thought that I coul
Honeymoonstage~ Cole’s POV ~The wedding ceremony was over. We are now married. During the ceremony I was distracted. When the entourage walked down the aisle I can't help but remember Roxy. I remember the first time I imagined her walking towards me to be my wife. I saw Andrea walking down the aisle and I smiled at her. She was here and I shouldn't be thinking of someone else but her.I couldn't make a weddingvowforAndrea. It would be a lie for me to vow forever to her so we just repeat the traditional wedding vow the priest stated. I need to be present for her. I owe her this much. I captured her lips after the priest asked me to kiss the bride. I am fucking losing my mind. We had our pictures taken and everyone congratulated us. I smiled and made sure to thank them. But every time I look at Andrea, I see Roxy in the white dress I got for her. Roxy was smiling at me sweetl
Married life~ Andrea’s POV ~I was really surprised that Cole bought a mansion for us. He has been really sweet and caring. The article about our wedding was published a month after our wedding. I didn't care much about it since I was busy decorating and buying appliances and furniture with Cole. The interior designer helped us and everything went great. Our house was perfect and so was our relationship.Cole worked regularly but made sure he eats breakfast and dinner with us. He was a perfect husband. He always makes time for me and Leo. On weekends, he makes sure that he doesn't work and spends quality time with us. He makes time to have a romantic dinner with me at least once a week and I can't help falling more in love with him.I can't believe that we have been married for several weeks now. Everything seems to be so fast. I cooked dinner for us. I wanted to do something special f
Who comes first~ Cole’s POV ~My relationship with Andrea is working out fine. I really wanted things to work between the two of us. I tried my best to give her the attention and the time she deserves. She is my wife and she deserves to be treated as my queen. Unfortunately, when my best friends have problems they become my top priority.Blair found out about the rumors regarding Jake and Sheila and just pulled a gun on them. We went inside the house and left Jake, Sheila, Evgeni and Blair to discuss at the poolside. Andrea and Cassie were freaking out. This is not how I imagined seeing Blair again after several weeks."Sweetheart, you can't just drop the bomb and leave as if nothing happened." Jake stated following Blair."You can't just fuck your secretary and pretend it never happened." She countered."Sweetheart, please calm down. It's not good for the baby. I don't want you stre
~ 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
