He Wants Me Back Chapter 12
Cole’s POVThere’s a moment just before you do something irreversible, a moment when the air stills, when the world slows, and you ask yourself if you’re sure.Standing there on the balcony, watching Laura in that green dress, her hair swaying gently with the night breeze, I felt that moment crackling in the space between us. And the answer came easily. Yes. I was sure.She wasn’t like the others. And this wasn’t a game.“I’m starting to care about you,” I said, my voice quieter than usual, but heavier with truth.Her breath caught, not visibly, but I felt it, like a subtle shift in pressure. She looked up at me with those wide, uncertain eyes. No pretense. No calculated move. Just raw emotion.I wanted to close the space between us. To feel the warmth of her skin under my fingers, to see if her lips tasted like the champagne she'd sipped earlier. But I held back.Because I knew what this meant.And once I crossed that line, there’d be no going back.We didn’t speak much during the r

Laura’s POVThe next few days flew by like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.Each morning, I arrived early. Each night, I stayed late, not because I had to, but because I wanted to. I was starting to love my job, not just because of the respect or the routine, but because I was finally doing something that mattered. I was useful. I was growing.Cole had become a different person with me.He wasn’t just my boss anymore, he was… something else.More relaxed. More approachable. More present.He started trusting me with bigger responsibilities. I wasn’t just handling his schedule anymore. I was sitting in on vendor meetings, reviewing contracts, giving input during presentations. One afternoon, he asked me to draft a client proposal, and when I handed it over, he reviewed it and said, “Impressive. I barely had to change anything.”I blushed at the praise, though I tried to hide it.But that wasn’t even the most surprising thing that happened that week. It was Friday.The sky was d

Laura’s POVThe boardroom was nothing like I had imagined. The ceiling stretched high with recessed lighting, casting a soft glow over the long oval table made of polished mahogany. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the city, and the skyline sparkled like a sea of diamonds against the morning light.Twelve men and women sat around the table, department heads, stakeholders, legal advisors. Power radiated from every corner of the room.And then there was me. The assistant.I clutched the folder to my chest and quietly took the seat Cole gestured toward, directly beside him. His presence was calm but commanding, and having him close gave me a strange sense of comfort. I reminded myself to breathe.“Let’s get started,” he said, breaking the silence. “There’s been a critical correction made to the FenixTech proposal. I want to acknowledge the person who caught it before we go any further.”The room shifted. Curious glances. A few raised brows.Cole looked at me.“This is

Laura’s POVThe rest of the afternoon passed like a blur. After lunch with Nora, I returned to my office with renewed energy, determined to keep up the momentum. There was still so much to prove, not just to Cole, but to myself.I was halfway through drafting a client follow-up letter when my office phone rang.I reached for the receiver quickly. “Hello, this is Laura.”“Come to my office,” Cole’s voice said , calm, direct, and, as always, with no room for negotiation.“Yes, sir.”I stood up, smoothed down my top, took the notebook I had been jotting down in all day, and headed straight for his office. My heels clicked lightly across the polished floor, but it wasn’t the sound that echoed in my head. It was that same tiny voice whispering: Don’t mess this up.I knocked twice.“Come in.”I opened the door to find him seated behind his massive desk, brows furrowed in concentration. His jacket was off this time, sleeves rolled just enough to show strong forearms. He looked… less like a C

Chapter 7Laura’s POVThe way Mr. Cole kept staring at me made me uncomfortable. My heart raced as I waited for him to say something — anything. But he just sat there, eyes fixed on me, like he was trying to figure something out.I cleared my throat softly and held out the documents."Sir, these are the documents you asked me to go through. I discovered a few errors and thought it best to bring them to your attention before filing them."He blinked once, then slowly reached for the documents.“You made corrections?” he finally asked, voice calm but with a trace of surprise.“Yes, sir. I made notes beside the errors and suggested corrections in the margins,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady.He flipped through the pages silently. With each turn, I watched his expression, looking for any sign of disappointment or approval. A tense minute passed before he looked up again, this time with a slight smile playing on his lips.“Well done, Laura. I appreciate your attention to detail,

COLE’S POV SEVEN YEARS AGO It was 7 pm and I was bored, so I decided to go see my friend, Antonio, so that we could play some games and probably go out to chill later. Although I had called him several times, his number was not reachable. I was worried because we spoke on the phone earlier and now I couldn't reach him. Somehow, I felt something wasn't right. I made up my mind to go to his house to find out what could be wrong. His house was just five miles away. So, it was walkable from my house. In no time, I was already at his house. I strolled up the stairs. I noticed the sitting room door was not locked. I opened the door and entered. As I walked, I saw clothes scattered everywhere in the passageway; bras, boxers, shirts, etc. I got to his room door and came to a halt as the sound of moans filled the atmosphere. It was a feminine voice. “Omg! Fuck me harder baby. Go deeper baby." "Don't stop fucking me. Continue hitting me on the spot till I cum…" I heard it when I op

Laura’s POV “I am late for work, I'm going to get sacked,” I thought.I jumped out of bed as soon as my alarm beeped. It was so loud that I turned it off immediately. I checked the time and it was already 7:30 am. I quickly entered the bathroom. After taking my bath, I dressed in corporate attire; a well-ironed tailored black suit and pants with an off-white chiffon top inside. I put on wine-colored heels because I didn't want to go out all black, and that complimented my looks. I applied a little makeup just to complete my looks and at least look presentable. Satisfied, I grabbed my bag which contained my phone and other things I needed, and dashed out of the house to the bus stop. Cole had rented a well-furnished apartment for me after listening to my story that afternoon. He even helped me retrieve my stuff from the hotel where I lodged previously saying I didn't belong in such a place.I teared up as soon as I heard those words. I never thought anyone would be kind to me or
He Wants Me Back CHAPTER 5
LAURA’S POVI took the first flight I found out of Chicago. The flight was bound for Las Vegas and luckily, there was one unbooked seat for it. I immediately paid for it with the last of my money. I suddenly regretted not making my own money during my marriage. I wouldn't have been stranded now if I had been smart enough to get a job or something. I had had stars in my eyes and had thought Antonio and I would last forever. He was a wealthy man, the kind of wealth that he could retire today and still have enough money to ensure up to his fourth generation never had to lift their fingers to work. When I'd recently met him, I had been terrified by his obvious wealth. I'd had to get used to just being able to get whatever I wanted. I didn't have wishlists anymore, because as soon as something caught my eye, Antonio had gotten it for me. It was a mistake I'd never make again in my life, allowing myself to become so consumed in a man that I didn't have my own money. That is, if I would ev
He Wants Me Back CHAPTER 4
ANTONIO’S POV"I really think you should reconsider this whole divorce thing." Zayn, my best friend said to me. I scoffed. "Laura is worthless to me. She can't give me a child and neither is my marriage with her gaining me any business deals. Helen's father is well connected and what's more, she's stunning." "Laura is stunning too." He argued. "Even more stunning if I'm being honest. Helen just looks like hundreds of other rich, spoiled girls." I shot him a warning look and he raised his hand in surrender. I didn't like hearing him say that Laura was stunning. It felt like he had been looking at my wife and I didn't like it. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that about Helen." It suddenly struck me that I had been more pissed about him saying my wife was beautiful than saying the woman I was about to marry was a rich, spoiled girl. What did that mean for my pending marriage? I pushed the thought away, focusing on packing up my things to go home. "Look, it doesn't matt
