Niccola Fairchild

“No, no, we can’t do this,” I say as I place my hands on Cole’s chest and push him away from me, but, opposed to what you see in the movies, he doesn’t budge. His entire body stays in place, against mine as his eyes scan my face, his eyes moving from my eyes to my lips and back to my eyes.

“No, what we can’t do is stay away from each other; you feel it. I know you do,” he says, and I almost give in. It’s like his voice has mind-controlling power or some shit. I shake my head, trying to clear my head as Cole’s hand rests on my face. Slowly, he moves his fingers, resting them under my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

“Fucking look at me, Niccola,” Cole says, and I snap my eyes open to meet his blue ones, and I can’t help but smile slightly. “I can’t stay away from you, I don’t know what kind of spell you put on me, but I just can’t,” he says, and I nod slightly before his lips meet mine again.

His kiss tastes like hell and heaven at the same time. I don’t know how

    Niccola FairchildThe way his voice affects my entire body is something that should be studied. Without another word, I nod and sit next to Cole. I placed both my hands on my legs, trying to keep them steady as my heart jumped in my chest, almost giving me a heart attack. As soon as everyone is seated, the food is served, and I keep my head down and my eyes on my plate. Opposite what I thought, I am not hungry, and the fact that food is being put in front of me is making me feel nauseous. Between courses, I feel Cole’s hand on my knees, and I shake my head, trying to move his hand, but his grip tightens, and I notice my mother is in the middle of the room talking to someone, and I dare look at Cole, who is staring at me. “Who the fuck is that guy?” Cole finally asks. His voice is low to avoid people hearing, and I frown and shake my head slightly. “Were you sleeping with him while we…” he says, but stops talking, and I can’t help but laugh lightly. “Asks the guy that has been scre

    Niccola Fairchild“Lead the way, my queen,” he says, and I can’t help but smile as I watch Cole walking towards us, but being stopped by my mother, before he has a chance to get to us. His eyes on my hand holding Phillip’s as we walked out of the room. I feel my stomach twist as we walk outside and the cool air hits my skin, sending a chill down my spine. “Here,” Phillip says, placing his jacket over my shoulders. I smile as I cross my arms, trying to pull the jacket as close as possible. “Are you going to tell me why you’re avoiding your mother?” Phillip finally asks, ending the silence between us as we walk in the garden. I stop and look at him as he places both his hands in his pockets. “I just never had a relationship with my mother,” I say, shrugging, trying to sound more casual than I actually sound. “I see, and Cole?” He asks as we start walking again. “What about Cole?” I ask back, trying not to sound too uncomfortable, “I don’t really know him,” I let out. “It didn’t re

    Niccola Fairchild“I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride,” I hear, and I keep my eyes on the floor. I can’t watch Cole kiss my mother. Everyone starts cheering, and I close my eyes slightly. My heart is broken, and I feel like my head is spinning out of control. I realise people are moving, but I stand still. I stay where I am, unable to move. Slowly, I bend and keep my head between my hands as my elbows rest on my knees. I try to control my breathing, but I fail miserably. Getting myself together, I walk into the ballroom where my mother and Cole are dancing some soppy slow song, and I watch as she moves her hand up and down his back while he keeps his hands on her waist. I feel like my stomach has just dropped as I walk around the room, watching everyone watching the couple.“They look so good together,” I hear a woman say, and I can’t help but scoff, and when her eyes meet mine, I offer her a fake smile and walk away towards the bar. I know drinking might no

    Niccola Fairchild“We are all ready,” I hear Steph say behind me. My mother looks at me and smiles. Her smile is as fake as the rest of her. I close my eyes for a few seconds, trying to convince myself my mother is happy. She is doing this not just for money. She finally has found happiness, and with that happiness has come my misery. I watch as my mother smooths her dress and walks to stand next to me. I raise my head slightly and open the door, walking out of the room that seems to be suffocating me. “I need a minute,” I say as I walk down the corridor, away from my mother.“Niccola, this is not the time for your tantrums,” my mother says, but I ignore her, opening the door at the end of the corridor and entering, closing the door behind me. I rest my head back and press my shaking hand to my chest, feeling my heart beat fast. I hear someone clearing their throat, and I immediately open my eyes and see a man standing in front of me. “May I help you?” He asks as he stands in front

    Niccola FairchildToday is the day I have been dreading for weeks now. Today is the day I am going to watch my mother marry the man I have fallen for. As I look in the mirror, I feel my stomach turn, and I shake my head lightly, trying to stop the tears from rolling down my cheeks. Cole stopped all contact a while ago, and I lost all hope as no one stopped the wedding arrangements. He lied to me. He told me he would end this. He said he would make it stop, he would end the wedding, he would be with me.“Hey,” Steph says, appearing behind me and wrapping her arms over my shoulders, hugging me tightly. “It’s going to be okay, you don’t have to be there, you know, you’re a grown ass woman, you’re independent, and I can deal with this,” she adds, and I shake my head. “I am not allowing my mother to belittle me anymore. I am done. She always wins; she takes everything she wants without worrying about anyone else. So I will be there and I will have a smile on my face and I will do my job,”

  • The CEO's Stepdaughter   Chapter 11 - Cole Sutcliffe

    Cole SutcliffeMy mood has been worse than usual. I can’t stand being around people, and all I can think about is Niccola. This is the reason I never got involved with anyone. The distractions, the time spent thinking about one woman instead of thinking about the thousands of people I employ. My mistakes cost a lot of money and could cost people’s jobs if I am not careful. “You need to focus on this. I can’t end the deal.” Sawyer says, and I shake my head, pinching the bridge of my nose as my entire world collapses in front of me. “It would cost you your company,” Sawyer adds, knowing what popped into my mind straight away. “She played you well.”“Fuck,” I groan in frustration, closing my laptop with more strength than necessary. “I need to stop this,” I let out. “Cole, how bad could it be? Be married for a couple of years, get everything the way you want, then divorce her ass and give her half of everything and done, right now… You would lose everything, she would take everything f
