My name is Colton Emmanuel Sinclair Jr. To everyone I am Cole, a young philanthropist that helps various organizations. You can see me in various magazines, newspapers, TV shows and billboards. I am famous. And I love the attention I get from the media. It made it easier for me to enjoy life. Everywhere I go people know me and so they treat me well. I'm a womanizer but I never slept with anyone younger than twenty one. I want someone that would be able to have a conversation with. Someone I can have a connection with. Someone that would make me see my life's purpose.
Being born with a golden spoon on my mouth is a privilege that I always enjoyed. I have never done any hard labour in my entire life. When my mother passed away after giving birth to me I was the sole heir of all the money she had. Everything passed down to me. My father, Colton Emmanuel Sr., was also filthy rich so he put all my inheritance in my name. Imagine a baby who is worth billions, that was me. My father didn't tap on that money, instead he spoiled me at his own expense. I grew up with my father getting married almost every single year. There was always something wrong with the women he married. Always end up in a divorce. He taught me that marriage is one way to put a woman in your bed without complications. Once you're fed up with it, get a divorce. Well, I never really agree with him on that. I just do hook ups and no serious relationships. Believe it or not I consider marriage a serious commitment, something that should not be taken lightly. And I hate commitment, the only commitment I have is with my best friends and my regular appearance at charity events for the sake of a publicity stunt.
People think I'm a saint, a label that I hated but can't move away from. People just see what they want to see. The only people who know me for real are my best friends, Nicholai and Jake and my dad. And of course Blair and Cassie who can see past my bullshits. They can see what a fuck up person I really am. My father died after she married Charlotte. She was a lovely woman and she loved my father. They were together for two years before my father married her. She was an escort and my father was her client. She married him after he got a divorce. Unfortunately, my father died from a plane crash on his way home for my 17th birthday. We were both devastated by it. Charlotte is the mother figure I was longing for. She was there for me. She wasn't just after the fame and the money my father had. She loved him. She refused the inheritance my father left for him. She insisted that she could survive without it. She wanted me to have it. But I had money of my own so I insisted she keeps it. Besides, it would help her raise her son, Jonathan. His son was a douche bag and never once did we get along. I didn't want to stay with them in the same house so I moved out and lived on my own when I turned eighteen. Jonathan dated Cassie which didn’t end up well. Now Cassie is with Nicholai and they are a great couple that I really admire.
Since I started to live on my own I lived my life to the fullest. I did everything I wanted. No one could say no to me. I always hear people saying I’m better than my best friends but now they think otherwise. My best friends are both happily married. Three weeks ago we had the grandest triple wedding held. A week ago I finalized my divorce with Andrea. I had enough of all the bullshit. I can’t believe that I tried to mock marriage. My family and friends were all mad at me. They don’t understand what the hell is really going on. Yes, I cheated on my wife after we got married for the second time. The problem was they had no idea what really happened. The divorce was long planned. The wedding was a sham. Everything was a fake.
Three weeks ago…
“I can’t believe it. We’re getting married again.” Nicholai stated happily.
“I remember that time that we vow not to have a girlfriend now we are practically getting married together.” Jake stated.
“It’s just for a show.” I replied. “Don’t get me wrong guys but come on, we have all these people and paparazzi around. They don’t really care about us. They just want to be part of this wedding of the century.”
“Who cares? All I know is that I’m marrying the woman I love again and she is pregnant with our second child.” Jake stated.
“Time flies.” Nicholai stated. “We all have truly changed. Imagine we all have our kids and serious careers.”
“Yeah I guess.” I replied. “I need some air. I’ll be back before you know it.”
I went out and scope the area. Everything was all set. I can’t believe that I’m doing this again. Mocking marriage like my father did. I should have cut the crap out and just went separate ways with Andrea but no I just had to web lies. Pretend that I love my wife and not the woman I long to see again. I know how stupid it might seem to marry my wife again when I should be running after the woman I love. Roxanne Henson captured my heart and I thought I captured hers but she left and never looked back. And now here she was standing in front of me four hours before my wedding.
“Wow. You look as handsome as I remembered.” She stated.
“You look good yourself.” I looked at her from head to foot.
“I guess I’m a bit late.” She stated as tears flowed on her cheeks. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be here, I know. I didn’t expect to see you here. I just needed some fresh air.”
“You fucking left without saying goodbye and what do you expect me to just welcome you back with open arms.” I stated angrily.
“No, of course not. I just got off my plane last night and I really need to talk to you. I didn’t know you were getting married again. You should have told me when I asked to meet you.” She stated.
“It’s all over the news. We are renewing our vows.” I replied, pissed. “Where have you been to Antarctica? Everyone knows, the world knows.”
“I’m sorry. I had no idea you’re renewing your vows.”
“What do you expect that I would wait for you and make a fool out of myself? I know you were beyond my league when I dated you. You were successful and mature and I was nothing but an immature rich jerk. But you had no right to break my heart. You had no fucking right to just leave me in the dark.”
“Yeah right, you are so heartbroken that you’re renewing your wedding vows. This is an awful idea. I’m sorry. Best wishes and I hope that you will be happy. I really have something important to tell you but I don’t think now is the right time. When you’re ready just call me. You know how to reach me.”
She left and I wanted to run after her and tell her I love her. I didn’t hate her, instead I missed her. I love her so much that I am incapable of falling in love with another. Instead of running after her I went back to the hotel and renewed my wedding vows to Andrea. I’m being selfish, marrying her and pretending to love her but this is the right thing to do. I should be with her for our son Leo. However hard it might seem I need to do this for my son. The moment Andrea walked down the aisle; it wasn’t her that I saw but Roxy. I wanted to walk out and leave my wife at the altar. But I can’t bear to embarrass her in front of the entire crowd. I have to think things through. The whole time I flustered a fake smile and gave the crowd what they went to see. I gave them a show. As my wife was sleeping I stared at the ceiling and remembered the woman that I crave more than anything else.
The first time we met ~ Cole’s POV ~ I hated being told what I should do with my life. I always do things the way I want them to be. But Uncle Stan made sure that he does it anyway. He was the father figure that assisted me. He is the one who is taking care of my finances and all the family businesses. He lectures me almost every time he sees me so I made sure to avoid him. He insisted that I attend one of the charity events for cancer patients that is being conducted every six months. It was in continuation of my mother’s pride and joy. So I attended and saw one of the keynote speakers that caught my eyes. I didn’t believe in love at first sight. I know that love is just an illusion but I fe
Second time is a charm ~ Cole’s POV~ I received a call that Charlotte was rushed to the hospital and I immediately rushed to see her. Jonathan was already there waiting for me. We may not meet eye to eye but we both love Charlotte. After Cassie and Jonathan broke up I hated his guts more. We tried to get along to please Charlotte but it was difficult so we just decided to mind our own business and stay out of each other’s life. “What happened?” I asked Jonathan the moment I got to the hospital. “I came to her room to check on her and I found her on the floor. She wasn’t feeling well before she went to bed last night. They said she was lucky that she was bought immediately here or el
Mr. P or Mr. S ~ Cole’s POV ~ I couldn’t figure out what they were talking about since they were speaking in low voices. Then I saw them kissing each other. Looks like the hot doctor has a boyfriend but that didn’t stop me before and it wouldn’t stop me now from pursuing her. I like her and I need to get to know her. So instead of trying to have Uncle Stan removed from his job I went straight to the information area after taking a picture of the hot doctor. “Hi, miss beautiful.” I greeted the girl at the reception area. “Oh hi… you’re talking to me.” She started blushing. “Yes and by the looks of it you know who I am.” I stated smiling at her. “Of course I do Mr.
Getting over him ~ Cole’s POV ~ I’ve never been rejected by anyone before. It’s the first time someone rejected my invitation. She told me that the guy in the parking lot wasn’t her boyfriend but he can’t be her patient. They were practically ready to get naked with the way they made out in the parking lot. I have to know who he is. Knowing my competition would be interesting. I usually don’t care about my competition. I don’t even recall having to chase someone. This is the first time that I’m running after someone. There’s just something about her that I can’t seem to ignore. I want her. I had to cancel going out with Jessa since Charlotte was already awake and in her room. There
Diversion ~ Cole’s POV ~ I needed to talk to Uncle Stan in person so I went over to his office. It’s about time that we had a discussion about my finances. I don’t want to upset Charlotte and I really want her to recover faster. I am so scared of the idea of losing her. I need to take life seriously. I could’ve lost her if Jonathan wasn’t able to bring her to the hospital immediately. “Cole, what are you doing here?” Stacey greeted me when I entered her father’s office. “Hey, smartass, it's nice to see you.” I hugged her. “What are you doing here?” “I just came to visit for a few days. I’d be back in Canada before you know it.” “Oh that’s nice. You want to spend
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
