Chapter 1 - Cole Sutcliffe

Cole POVI’m sorting through my email when I stumble upon the email that can change everything for me. Fairchild Enterprises are for sale, and I can’t help but sit back in my chair as I read Sawyer’s email. He knows how much I want to buy them out of the business. They are my most significant competitor, and I am not twenty anymore; I don’t have time to destroy them slowly. I want them out of circulation. “Faith,” I say as I place the phone in my ear. “Yes, boss,” Faith replies through the intercom between my office and her reception desk. Faith is probably the only person I trust with every detail of my life. Besides being my secretary, PA, or whatever you want to call her, she is a dear friend and married to Sawyer. “Get Sawyer on the line and schedule a meeting with Fairchild’s CEO,” I let out, and the laughter on the other side forces me to raise an eyebrow while she laughs uncontrollably. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” I ask, and when she stops laughing with a snort, and s

Chapter 2 - Niccola Fairchild

Niccola Fairchild POVBreakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I know people might think it’s stupid, and some people even believe you can live without breakfast, but not me. This is my happy place, my happy time. Sitting in my kitchen with my coffee and my Greek yoghurt full of fruit and granola. Humans are creatures of habit, and I am no better than anyone else. I love my routine, and having breakfast is where it all begins. I open my laptop to read the world's news and almost choke on my first sip of coffee, reading the headline in front of me. “Fairchild Enterprises Roaming for closure.” My eyes widen, and I shake my head, trying to push away the memories I had running through those corridors every time I would go see my father as a child. I shouldn’t be surprised; after all, everything my mother touches gets destroyed. Closing my laptop, I take a deep breath before finishing my breakfast without reading another word of the news. Surely the day can’t get any worse than it alre

Chapter 3 - Niccola Fairchild

Niccola Fairchild POV“That fucking weasel,” I say as I enter my office, followed by Steph. I shake my head, allowing a single tear to roll down my cheek. I immediately clean it with the sleeve of my blouse as I pace my office from side to side, not being able to think or process what just happened. “I don’t understand. What is she getting out of this?” Steph asks as she leans against the door with her arms crossed in front of her chest, and I shake my head, way too angry to speak. I haven’t seen my mother for over ten years, and suddenly she appears out of thin fucking air demanding that I work for her? Hell no. I am not going to allow this to happen. “Control,” I let out through gritted teeth. “What?” Steph asks as she frowns, moving from the door and standing in front of me with her arms crossed in front of her chest. “Control, she thinks she can control me,” I say, and Steph lets out the loudest laugh I have ever heard coming out of her mouth. “Has she even met you?” She says

Chapter 4 - Niccola Fairchild

Niccola Fairchild“Let’s get out of here,” he whispers in my ear in the most sensual tone I have ever heard in my life. The way his words travel down my body makes me realise this man can have any woman he wants, and he is freaking choosing me. I nod as I hold on to his tie, pulling him close to me one more time, erasing the distance between us. His hands move to my ass, pressing my front to his, and I can feel his erection against my body. I was never one for one-night stands. Although all my relationships ended with me being cheated on… I am probably what people call a serial monogamist. I hate being alone, and according to Steph, that is my only flaw. Obviously, that’s not true, but I really don’t know how to be alone, and maybe the fact that I haven’t been in a relationship for more than four months is now making me a one-night stand slut. “Yes,” I whisper against his lips. Immediately, he pulls away, retrieving his wallet from the inside pocket of his suit jacket that was hangi

Chapter 5 - Cole Sutcliffe

Cole Sutcliffe POV“I really don’t care,” I let out without lifting my eyes from my laptop. I can’t believe this is happening to me. Why did I agree to this? I pinch the bridge of my nose as a headache starts to make its way to torment me. “But it is your wedding day too,” Monica says, and I let out a breath, trying to control my mood. This woman has the ability to make me lose my shit so easily. “I told you I don’t fucking care, now leave, and let me work,” I bark at her, and she clicks her tongue as she looks at me, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Her eyes meet mine as a sinister smile appears on her lips. “Okay, now don’t forget we have dinner booked tonight at eight, don’t be late, please, and wear a blue tie so you can match my dress,” Monica adds, and I wave my hand trying to dismiss her. Acquiring Fairchild Enterprises is becoming harder than I thought it was going to be, and it’s not even for the actual work; it’s for dealing with the woman attached to the company

Chapter 6 - Niccola Fairchild

Niccola Fairchild I still can’t believe my eyes as I look over my shoulder to find Cole here. His name is Cole, of course, it is, a name as beautiful as he is. Why didn’t I do my homework when it came to my mother? In my defense, how could I have known my mother would marry someone like him? Her usual targets are older men, almost dying men, men who will leave their fortune to her because they think she will take care of them. What a joke. “What is going on?” Steph asks, and I snap my head around, looking at her, trying to pretend everything is okay, but I can feel his eye on me. “Do you know him?” She asks, lifting her chin slightly, pointing at Cole.“Shhhh,” I say, pulling her by her wrist to the corner of the room away from prying eyes and ears. “Hey, you’re hurting me. What the hell is going on, Nicci? You have been on edge since your mother introduced you to her husband.” She says, and I close my eyes for a second, and when I open them, it’s like Steph can read my mind. “BAR

Chapter 7 - Niccola Fairchild

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

Chapter 8 - Cole Sutcliffe

Cole SutcliffeWatching Niccola leave is one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. I had to watch her leave me one more time, and this time for good. I sit back down as Monica’s hand rests on my arm, and I move it with one swift movement. I can’t stand her touch, especially after feeling Niccola’s once more. I have dreamt about that moment for days. And now I know I can’t have her. I don’t have a way out of this. I thought I could. “Smile, darling, people are starting to notice,” Monica says, and I stare at her in disbelief. “I am not going to entertain this any longer,” I say, and her eyes meet mine as her eyebrows raise and she offers me a cold smile. “That’s where you’re wrong, darling, the contract is very clear, you either marry me, or you lose everything,” Monica says, and I close my eyes for a split second. I need to get this contract overturned, but right now I can’t do anything. I can’t risk losing my company, my money, everything I have worked so hard to buil
