Two days laterCora's POV"Thud!" I shut the door as I walked in. I could barely walk straight. I think I had too much to drink. Walking into the living room, I was surprised to see my dad sitting on his chair and staring at me. He looked a bit angry, which was weird. He rarely ever gets mad at me. "Geez, you almost gave me a heart attack" I said as I placed my hand on my chest."Where are you coming from?" He asked. That was weird. I'm an adult for Pete's sake. What did he mean 'where was I coming from'?"Went out with my friends" I said, "Any problem?" I asked, feeling skeptical about his odd behavior today. "Come with me" he said as he stood up and walked off. Urrghh! I was hella tired. Why couldn't it wait? Angrily, I followed him. We arrived at his study where he took a seat on his swivel chair behind the desk. "What's the matter dad?" I asked impatiently, "I'm really tired" I complained. "Why wouldn't you be?" He asked angrily as he took of his glasses. What did he mean by t
A week laterAnastasia’s POV I packed my things up and prepared to head out. My glass house felt empty without Claude and Chloe in it - I missed them. “ Stop acting like they're gone for good or something. What's with the melodramatic gazing back when they're just in Kasper's house?” Stella interrupted my thoughts as she walked into the living room where I was. “ You really can't read the room, can you?” I clenched my fist as I tried my best to not to cuss at her. “ Well, maybe... maybe not but the point is, it's better to know that they're safe and it's not like Kasper would disappear with them,” she sighed, patting my back softly. “ Yes, I know but they hate me don't they?” I sighed, sadness evident in my voice. “ Who knows?” Stella shrugged. “ Not helping,” “ But honestly, I don't think they hate you or Claude hates you. Maybe they want you to realize something,” Stella looked at me as if waiting for my response. “ Something like?” I tilted my
Anastasia's POVKasper lay over me, his strong arms propping his body. My hands wrapped securely around his neck as we kissed.My body lay still on the bed as Kasper looked over me, his massive presence casting a shadow over the room's bright lights.He suddenly pulled away, his gaze meeting mine as we took in deep breaths. I saw the look of longing in his eyes, one that I always yearned for day and night."Are you sure about this?" He suddenly asked, his index finger tracing my jawline.Now I think of it, was i ready for this?I mean he wanted me and I wanted him, there should be no harm in doing this, right?"Yes," I blurted out before coming to a conclusion and Kasper smiled thinly."You won't regret this?" He asked again, making sure I was approving of this willingly.I nodded again, suddenly unable to find my voice as his hand went under my dress.I closed my eyes, letting the familiar feeling I had craved each time take over once more.I opened my eyes when I felt Kasper pause,
Sebastian’s POV “ Where are you headed?” Dad questioned as I walked into the living room. “ A stroll,” I shrugged as I took my jacket. “ At night?” Dad twisted his brows as he sceptically looked at me. “ Evening breeze,” I countered. “ You've been acting pretty off lately. Are you alright?” Liam who kept stuffing himself with noodles asked. “ First of, what are you doing here? Secondly, why are you even eating by this time??” I stopped to properly interrogate him. “ Chill out. Besides, that's no way to treat your best friend. You're so heartless and cruel,” he ended dramatically. “ Agreed so answer my questions,” I frowned. “ Pfft, such a kill joy,” he pouted. “ Your mom invited me for dinner so I came but you didn't know since you didn't have dinner tonight. Secondly, I'm hungry,” he answered before heading back to eating. “ Even if you weren't invited for dinner, you'd still be here,” I sighed. “ Bingo! So there's actually no reason to ask,
Sebastian’s POV “ You should be fine now,” I said placing the last bandaid on her knee cap. I took off the disposable gloves, sanitized my hand before putting on my regular black gloves. “ T-thank you,” she stuttered. “ Welcome,” I said taking a bottle of alcoholic wine and turning into both glasses. “ You're really a germophobe,” I heard her mutter. “ Yes, I am but it's gotten a lot better now. You could say I'm getting more used to touching things,” I expressed. she gave me a puzzled look. “ That's good to know,” she smiled. “ Here, let's drink,” I handed her a wine glass and we began drinking. It was oddly quiet with both of us just drinking and unable to make the first move. “ I know I'm not in the position to pry but I'm a bit curious as to why you're here drinking when you're in a relationship,” she avoided my eyes as she spoke. “ Did anyone ever say one couldn't drink if he or she was in a relationship?” I chuckled, it was genuinely amusing.
Cora's POV~"Beep! Beep!" "Come on pick up dammit!" I cussed as I sped down the freeway. Did he really think I would stay quiet? He hadn't made a move in weeks. I had called him multiple times and he wasn't picking up. I sure hoped he wasn't avoiding me 'cause there'd be telling what I would do. "Buzzz!" The vibration of my phone alerted me. I quickly picked it up as I drove steered with one hand. Looking at the screen, it was him."Hello?" I answered brashly. I wasn't in the mood for any pleasantries or unnecessary greetings."Good afternoon Cora. You wanted to speak to me?" He asked in his usual calm voice. It usually pissed me off as he always sounded like he was sure of everything. "Are you at home now? 'cause I'm coming over to your place now" I said. I needed to speak to him in person. "Yes I am. I'll be expecting you then" he said as he hung up. I placed the phone down and hit the gas. I certainly couldn't wait to give him a piece of my mind. A few minutes later>>>>>>>>I
*** Nighttime, Bourne Groups ***Cora's POV~The creaking sound of the booth door pervaded the silence of the ladies room as I gently pushed the door open, taking a peek. As expected, it was empty, afterall, who would be here by this time anyway? (other than the janitor maybe). I snuck out of the ladies room and walked over to the CEO's floor, which apparently was the top floor. I was exhausted from climbing up the unimaginable flight of stairs that led up there"Oh man, hwweewww!" I exhaled from my mouth as I crouched with my hands on my knees, "God, I hate stairs!" I cussed. I finally appreciated elevators. Anyway, getting up there, it was pitch black so much so that all my eyes could see was eigengrau. I buried my hand into my back pocket and brought out my smartphone. Then I turned on the flashlight and looked around, you know? in case of any security guards. "Coast is clear" I muttered and walked straight over to Kasper's office door. I had been pretty mad at Kasper since the i
Cora's POV~"Thud!" I slammed the door shut as I barged into Dad's study. He looked up at me, removing his eyes from the paperwork on his desk. He looked kinda surprised. "Cora?" He muttered as he took off his glasses, "What's the matter?" He asked. I didn't answer initially as I was still trying to stop panting. I was breathing as if I was about to fight a long-time nemesis. "You don't look so good. Come on, have a seat. Is there any problem?" He asked further after the awkward silence. "What did you do?" I asked as calmly as I could, still breathing heavily but trying my best not to let my emotions run haywire. "Baby I don't understand. Please come and sit do...""What the hell did you do dammit!" I yelled at him at the top of my voice. The expression on his face was priceless. Was he really acting surprised? Like he didn't know what I was talking about. "Baby?" He muttered."What deal did you make with Abel dad? Tell me" I demanded. A look of realization suddenly appeared on hi
