All Chapters of The CEO's Stepdaughter: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Niccola FairchildI place both my hands on Cole’s chest and push him with all my strength, but it's like nothing happened. Cole stayed planted where he was before with his hand around my neck and his eyes on mine. “Does he?” He asks me again, and I swallow hard, keeping my mouth shut. Cole tilts his head slightly, letting go of me, and walks out of my room. I immediately follow him and slam the bedroom door closed. I press my back against the door, breathing heavily and moving my hand around my neck. I can still feel his fingers around it, his warmth, feels like it's lingering, betraying my body. I walk to the vanity table and look at my neck in the mirror. He didn’t leave any marks. Of course, he didn’t; his grip wasn’t tight enough to leave a mark. But looking in the mirror, I can imagine his hand around my neck and how fucking horny it made me.I shake my head, pushing those images away from my head, and grab my cellphone and press the call button when Phillip’s name appears. “Hey

Niccola FairchildI have never been so bored in my entire life. Phillip decided to bring me to a Michelin restaurant where the food portions are bird-sized, the alcohol is nonexistent, and everything is vegan. How can anyone enjoy this? Without realising, I let out a yawn and immediately cover my mouth with my hand, and Phillip looks at me wide-eyed. “I am sorry, this is boring, isn't it?” He says, and I look around the restaurant and nod slightly. “Everyone here is more than a hundred, they smell, and the food… well… I wouldn’t call this food,” I say, and Phillip laughs, and the couple at the table next to us looks at us, and we both offer them a small apologetic smile.“Okay, let’s get out of here,” he says, offering me his hand, and I take it. Phillip places my jacket over my shoulder and guides me out of the Jurassic restaurant, guiding me to the town car waiting for us. “What do you want to do?” He asks, pulling on his tie and loosening it. I shrug at the same time my stomach

Cole SutcliffeI haven’t seen Niccola since she stormed out of the kitchen. She has been avoiding me like the fucking plague, and with Monica home, I feel like I don’t have any freedom to go make Niccola realise she is mine and no one else’s. I never imagined she would be a brat, but I will make sure she drops that fucking act quickly. “Mr Sutcliffe,” I hear someone say as they knock on the door. I raise my eyes from my laptop and curse under my breath before I stand and open the door. In front of me is one of the nurses, her eyes widen as she looks up at me. “I am sorry for bothering you, sir, but my shift is over, and Mrs Sutcliffe is reading. The night-shift nurse should be here in one hour,” she says, and I nod, offering her a small smile.“Thank you,” I say, and she smiles as she walks away. When she is gone, I walk into the corridor and stop in front of Niccola’s room. The door is slightly open, and I knock, but no answer. I step inside and notice she’s changed some stuff. I wa

Niccola Fairchild“You’re playing a very dangerous game,” Cole says, and I offer him a smile before I push him away from me. Cole moves, and I turn around, walking into the elevator and waving my fingers saying goodbye. Once the doors close, I lean back against the wall, breathing heavily. Shit. I can’t be near Cole. I need to move out of that house. I can’t be flipping him off one second and having sex with him next. This is wrong in so many levels, I can’t even begin to understand how I am going to stay away from him.Once I reach the entrance, Phillip is waiting for me with two helmets, and I smile excitedly. “I thought you could show me why you like bikes so much,” Phillip says, and I nod, grabbing the helmet he’s passing me. We walk back to the elevator, and I press the garage button. “You are not going to regret this,” I say, and Phillip laughs, pressing a small kiss to my lips, but I quickly pull away from him. I can still feel Cole’s lips on me, and kissing Phillip right aft

Niccola Fairchild“I want to see Phillip,” I say to the officer standing before me. They have me in this room with a two-way mirror and haven’t told me anything since Cole left me alone. The officer offers me a small smile but ignores my plea. “Hey, I know my rights,” I let out at the same time the door opens, and another man walks in. He’s not wearing a uniform, and I recognise his face from somewhere. “My name is Sawyer Thorpe, Cole’s friend and lawyer,” he says, and I can’t help but laugh loudly.“So he’s sending you to do his dirty work now?” I ask, and he smiles, sitting in front of me. “Can you please remove the cuffs?” Sawyer says to the officer, who immediately takes the cuffs off me. I wrap my hand around my wrists and twist slightly, trying to soothe the soreness. “Can we please have a minute?” Sawyer says, and the officer nods, leaving us alone. He hasn’t said a word since he was here. I roll my eyes and sit back in the chair. Sawyer offers me another smile, and I feel b
