The rest of the day passed in a blur of files and quiet focus., I was trying my best not to think about him.

I managed to finish reviewing two full reports and even sent a few notes to Sarah about potential adjustments in the European markets. My mind kept drifting back to the kiss in the kitchen, to Aaron’s words, to the way his hand had felt on my back. I pushed those thoughts away each time, but they kept returning, stubborn and persistent.

  • Steal My Heart, Mr Cole    Chapter 51

    Aaron Cole*It’s just sex.*Her words hit me like a punch to the gut.I kept my face calm, my arms still wrapped around her, but inside, something twisted painfully. I had just laid myself bare... told her I wanted more, that I hoped she would love me back....and she had thrown it back at me like it meant nothing.*But to her it's just sex. Or is there something she's afraid of that I keep missing?*I held her tighter, inhaled her sweet perfume that always drove me crazy, my hand still stroking her hair, but my jaw was clenched so hard it ached. My chest felt heavy. This wasn’t how I imagined this moment. I had waited years for her. Watched her from the shadows while my brother destroyed her. Planned everything so I could have her. And now, when she was finally in my arms, she was still keeping me at a distance. And there were only a few more months remaining till the contract expires and she'd be gone from my arms forever.*She’s scared,* I told myself. *Derick broke her. She doesn

  • Steal My Heart, Mr Cole    Chapter 50

    Laura SterlingAaron held me close in the gazebo, his arms wrapped around me like he wasn’t ready to let go yet. My body was still buzzing from the orgasm, my legs weak and trembling even more than usual. I could feel his heart beating fast against my cheek, his breathing a little uneven.He kissed the top of my head softly, his hand rubbing slow circles on my back.“You okay?” he asked, his voice low and rough.I nodded against his chest, my fingers still clutching his shirt. “Yeah. That was… intense.”He chuckled softly, the sound vibrating through his chest. “Good intense?”“Very good,” I admitted, my voice quiet.We stayed like that for a while, just breathing together. The night air was cool on my skin, but his body heat kept me warm. His hand moved lower, resting on my hip, thumb stroking the skin there in lazy circles. It wasn’t rushed. It felt like he was giving me time to come down.After a few minutes, he pulled back just enough to look at me. His eyes were dark, still hungr

  • Steal My Heart, Mr Cole    Chapter 49

    Laura Sterling“You’re not fragile,” Aaron said again, his voice low as he pulled me closer on the garden bench. His hand was still on my waist, warm through the thin fabric of my dress. “You’re fighting every single day. That’s not weakness.”I looked up at him, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it was trying to escape my chest. The lanterns around us cast soft light on his face, highlighting the sharp line of his jaw and the intensity in his eyes. He was so close. Too close. I could smell his cologne, feel the heat of his body, and it was making my head spin in a way I couldn’t control.“I still don’t know if I can trust this,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. My hands were on his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart under my palms. “Every time I let myself get close, I remember who you are. Who your brother is. What this all started as.”Aaron’s grip on my waist tightened just a fraction. Not painful. Possessive. His other hand came up to cup my cheek, his thumb br

    Laura SterlingThe rest of the day passed in a blur of files and quiet focus., I was trying my best not to think about him.I managed to finish reviewing two full reports and even sent a few notes to Sarah about potential adjustments in the European markets. My mind kept drifting back to the kiss in the kitchen, to Aaron’s words, to the way his hand had felt on my back. I pushed those thoughts away each time, but they kept returning, stubborn and persistent.By 5:30 PM, my eyes were burning from the screen. I closed the laptop and rubbed my temples. My body was exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster of the day from everything I had encountered.Then the door opened slightly.Aaron stepped in, jacket off, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He looked tired but focused.“Ready to go home?” he asked calmly, with a small smile on his lips.I nodded. “Yes. I’m done for today.”He walked over and helped me into the wheelchair without a word. His hands were careful, almost gentle. As he pus

  • Steal My Heart, Mr Cole    Chapter 47

    Laura SterlingThe afternoon dragged on slower than I expected.I tried to focus on the files, but Amelia’s words kept slipping back into my thoughts like poison. I pushed them away each time, forcing myself to read line after line, making notes with a pen that felt heavier than it should.My stomach growled loudly around 1 PM. I hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast, and the stress had drained me more than I wanted to admit.The door opened without a knock.Aaron walked in carrying a tray with two covered plates and two glasses of water. He looked calm, but his eyes scanned me carefully as he set the tray on the small meeting table in the corner of my office.“You haven’t eaten,” he said simply. It wasn’t a question.I leaned back in my wheelchair, watching him. “I was working.”He pulled out a chair for himself and sat down, uncovering the plates. Grilled chicken, vegetables, rice ... simple but smelled incredible.“Eat with me,” he said. His tone left little room for argument.I

  • Steal My Heart, Mr Cole    Chapter 46

    Laura SterlingAaron stayed with me for almost twenty minutes after my panic attack. He didn’t say much more about Amelia, but he kept one hand on my back, rubbing slow circles until my breathing finally evened out. When I finally sat up straight again, he crouched in front of my wheelchair, studying my face.“You sure you’re okay to stay?” he asked.I nodded, wiping the last traces of tears from my cheeks. “I didn’t come here to hide in your arms all day. I came to work.”He gave a small nod, but I could see the worry in his eyes. He stood up and adjusted his suit jacket.“I’ll be next door if you need me. Door’s open.”As soon as he left, I tried to throw myself into the files. For the next hour, I managed to review market reports and even made a few notes. It felt good — normal, almost. Like I was slowly getting pieces of myself back.Then my office door opened again.Amelia stepped inside, this time carrying a small box of pastries and wearing an innocent smile.“I brought peace

    Laura Sterling“Security! Someone get in here now!”My voice cracked as I shouted toward the door, still shaking from Derick’s sudden appearance. I gripped the wheels of my chair so hard my knuckles turned white. My heart wouldn’t slow down. Just hearing his voice again had brought everything rush

    Aaron Cole“Make sure it’s the blue diamond necklace. Wrap it nicely.”I stood by the large window in my study, phone pressed to my ear while Marcus nodded quickly, already preparing the box on the table. The necklace had cost a small fortune, but I didn’t care. After watching that physiotherapist

    Aaron ColeI watched from the balcony as that smiling bastard crouched in front of her, touching her leg, making her smile.My blood boiled.Laura hadn’t smiled like that for me. Not once. Not even when I told her she would walk again. But this physiotherapist shows up and she’s already looking at

  • Steal My Heart, Mr Cole    Chapter 28

    Laura SterlingI looked up at Aaron through blurry, tear-filled eyes, my voice barely holding together.“Did she give me something that can be fixed?” I asked, terrified. “Or am I going to stay like this… forever?”Aaron stayed silent for a moment, watching me cry. Then he reached out and gently wi
