Together
~ Cole’s POV ~
I kept trying to call Roxy but she didn’t pick up again. I decided to head back to my wife. I don’t know what the hell I am doing. Roxy’s right I should be with my wife. I was on the elevator when I got a text, ‘Somerset suite.’ I stared at my phone and had no idea what to do.
She wanted me to go to her. She wanted to see me. I had no idea if it was because I said that I wanted to hear what she was going to tell me or she just wanted to talk to me. Well, I just have to find out for myself.
“Come in.” Roxy stated when I got to her suite.
“Thanks.” I smiled at her. “What are you doing still up at this
Lucky me~ Roxy’s POV ~I know that telling Cole where I was staying would not be good. I have been reckless about my decisions in the past and I remain to be that person. I know that it was wrong and yet I couldn't stop myself from having sex with Cole. We both wanted it. We both needed it. I wanted to be a better person and not be the cause of breaking a happy family but I can't help it. I love Cole.I told him about the reason why I left but I didn't have the courage to tell him why I chose to stay away. This is not something that would last. I would leave and he would need to go back to his wife and son. I wanted to make the most out of this situation I got myself into."Calm down. It'
Suspicious and jealous~ Andrea’s POV ~I felt really strange when I woke up and Cole was gone. I look at the time it was only six in the morning. We just got married and my husband is nowhere to be found. I had a bad feeling about this and I can't seem to figure it out. He decided to sleep than make love to me last night and he left so early this morning. Something's not right and I need to figure it out.I got a text message from Cole apologizing. 'Babe, I had to leave early for the office when something very important came up. I didn't want to wake you up. Sorry. Enjoy your day with Leo.' I tried calling him but I wasn't able to reach him. Maybe I was just being paranoid for nothing. He was really s
Let's keep it a secret~ Cole’s POV ~I can’t really be with Andrea after the scene she caused with Roxy earlier. I know that it was awkward for her to see Roxy again. I totally understand why she was reacting that way. My best friends were all happy to see Roxy. It was as if she never left and she fits right back in with the group. Blair and Cassie love her and Nicholai and Jake like her a lot. Andrea was threatened by her presence and she felt she didn't belong so she had to use the wife card.I had to pretend that I was mad with her so I have an excuse to leave. The truth was I felt guilty. I was unfaithful to her and I might admit to her that I spent the night with Roxy. For the past months t
Beyond Redemption~ Roxy’s POV ~I was playing with fire and I let it consume me. I know that this is not a great position that I am putting myself in. I don’t want to hurt anyone but I am never able to stay away from the forbidden fruit. The only way I can stay away from Cole is once we sort out the problem.I went back to the hotel to have dinner with Cassie and Blair. I texted Claire and told her that I would call her the following day to give her updates. We decided to just eat at the hotel's restaurant."So, what has been keeping you busy aside from the medical missions?" Blair asked."Nothing much really. We usually are always moving from one place to another so no tim
Breaking up~ Cole’s POV ~I don’t know how to face Andrea but I had to. I got back to the hotel and found her with the others waiting for me in the lobby. We were all heading back to Long Island. We got to our house and Leo was fast asleep. Andrea followed me to the study where I planned to hide the entire night.“Cole, I’m sorry.” She stated as she entered.“Andrea, I am busy. I have important things to do.” I replied.“We were doing fine before Roxy came back. Why are you acting on me?” She started crying. “I am your wife, talk to me.”“I am the one who’s acting out. You are the one who’s been trying
Easier said than done~ Roxy’s POV ~I wanted to end things with Cole. I promised myself that I wouldn't be the same person that I used to be. I can’t ruin another family because I am in love with a married man. I had to look at the biggerpicture. I have a life that I can live without him. He has a family that he should be with. I shouldn't mess it up. I had to be a bigger person. I can't be selfish even if I wanted to. I have to focus on the real reason why I am here and stop fantasizing about what my life would have been if I am with Cole.In life though I discovered that we don't always get what we want. We can't always be the person we want to be. We tried to do the right thing but en
Is it just in my head~ Andrea’s POV ~I can’t be losing Cole. We had a perfect set up. But now I am losing him and I can’t do anything about it. I have to do something. I have to convince him to stay. We have come this far. Cole, Leo and I were happy. We were happy as a family. So I followed Cole to his study room once we got back to our house. I had to talk to him. I have to know the truth even if it hurts.“Cole, I’m sorry.” I entered the study and started the conversation.“Andrea, I am busy. I have important things to do.” He replied.“We were doing fine before Roxy came back. Why are you acting out on me?” I started crying sinc
Out of control~ Roxy’s POV ~I smiled at Andrea as she was staring at the pool. Being alone with me was making her nervous. I know that she seemed suspicious of me and Cole. She isn't stupid. I was scared of what she would say to me. I never got caught before when I had affairs in the past. I never had the chance to be confronted by the wives of the men I slept with. Now here I am alone with the wife of the man I fucked in the shower this morning. How the hell did I get myself into this shit?"Did you fuck my husband?" Andrea asked and Ijust stared ather. "That's what I wanted to ask you from the moment you arrived. But I don't think I am ready to hear the answer." She smiled at me. "So
~ 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
