Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 109 - Rekindle The Spark 2
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

Lucas's POV~"What am I supposed to say?" I racked my head for ideas. The car was hella silent as we drove around, getting a view of the city's night scenary. It was awkward. I had literally gotten into a fight back at the club and we were kicked out along with the other asshole. I took occasional glances at Cora, who by the way looked rather depressed. "Still don't wanna talk about it? I can tell something's bugging you" I said as my eyes faced the road ahead. She didn't give any response and just kept looking out the window. Why was she making this difficult? Here I was trying to have a conversation and it's almost like she's not even here. "You know, talking about it might help relieve you of some stress, if you know what I mean" I added with a shrug as I took a turn. "Look Lucas, I get that you're worried but I'm okay." She suddenly responded calmly. "Besides, I forgot to thank you for what happened back at the club." She added."Oh that? That's nothing. I could never let a guy

Cora's POV~"Grounded?!" I yelled back in surprise, "You can't ground me. I'm not a kid" I revolted. "Yes I can and starting from today, you are gonna be put under twenty-four hour surveillance and you will no longer be allowed to leave the house" he said. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists in anger as I watched him speak. How could he? I'm a fucking adult for Pete's sake!"You can't do this dad. I'm an adult. It's not fair!" I rioted, stomping my foot on the floor as I finished my sentence. "You're an adult?" He asked rhetorically as he took off his glasses, "You call yourself an adult? You must be delusional" he said. What?! What was he? Senile? I'm fucking twenty seven!"An adult is someone who reasons rationally and takes responsibility for their actions" he said, "You do neither! Hell you even kidnapped two kids and tried to burn them alive! Did you even think about the consequences of such an action before taking it?" He asked. What did that have to do with anything? I w

Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 128 - The End
Two weeks laterAnastasia’s POV Abel had been sentenced to what I would call a lifetime worth of jail term on various charges like murder, attempted murder, embezzlement, bribery, threats and so on. He kept yelling at us without a single form of remorse but I'm glad that case is closed. Meanwhile Bourne Groups and MooBi entertainment have began their collaboration deal and Bourne Groups stock prices have gone up just from the anticipation of such a huge collaboration ongoing. “ Anna, are you paying any attention?” Stella nudged me in the arm. “ Sorry,” I muttered. We were at a court procession, it was that of Cora's. Cora had turned herself in to the police and had agreed to take responsibility for her actions but she was yet to know that I and the others had decided that she wouldn't go to prison. I didn't like her but I wanted to understand her since she was somehow like a sister to me, with our identities switched at birth, I feel the need to be there for
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 127 - Board Meeting
Kasper's POV~"Yeah, I'll get back to you on that......*noise in the background*.....". "What's with all the fuss?" I thought as I walked over to the end of my office where the wall is totally made of glass. Looking through, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Hordes of paparazzi flooded into the company building following someone in a black suit. "Is that.....Uncle Abel?" I thought as I squinted to look clearly. I couldn't see the face from so high up but the figure and mannerisms certainly were his."....ello? Sir? Are you there sir?" The voice from the other end of the phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I had totally forgotten that I was on a call. "Oh I apologise. I got caught up with something" I explained, "Perhaps I'll call you back later and we'll talk about it thoroughly. How's that?" "Sure thing sir?""Alright....beep!" I hung up and continued to analyze the situation. If that really was uncle Abel, he would probably be headed to my office. I had been expecting him act
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 126 - Rightfully Mine
Athena's POV~Sitting on the bench along the lobby in the hospital, I felt hollow. Everything felt like a dream. I couldn't believe it at all. "Audrey switched our babies? Audrey?" I thought. How could somebody I trusted so much betray me like that? She was my best friend. I trusted her like she was my sister. How could she do this?! "Oh mo....Please stop crying" Cora said to me as she offered me a tissue. I turned to the side and took a look at her. It was awkward and heartbreaking. This girl for whom I did everything wasn't even mine? I felt chills run down my spine as I thought about it. "Yeah, it's just gonna make it worse" Anna who sat beside me too on the other end said. I looked at her too. How was I supposed to feel now? My actual daughter....in front of me and I never knew all this time. "Just relax, okay?" Cora said as she gave me the tissue. I took it and wiped the tears off my face.Clip! Clop! Clip! Clop!"The doctor!" I sprung up in anxiety. I had been waiting. I still

Audrey's POV~"They're not here yet?" I thought as I took a glance at my watch. She said she wanted to meet me here about fifteen minutes ago, Anastasia that is. I looked around the cafe to see if maybe she was sitting somewhere else but there was no sign of her. "Maybe I should call her" I muttered as I dug my hand into my purse to get my phone. Then suddenly, I heard the jingle of the small bells at the entrance and my eyes darted in that direction. It was her. "Anna" I called with a wave as a smile cropped up on my face. My daughter truly was gorgeous. She saw me and walked over to my table and sat down. "Geez, what happened? It's not like you to be running late" I said with a smile. " Sorry, I got caught up with something" she apologized. " Work huh? Have you managed to make a designs yet?" I asked. " I have actually but none of them are to my liking. I guess I've been on a bit of a block lately " she said. She didn't look too happy as she said it. "Was something bothering he

Mom’s House - The next dayAnastasia’s POV “ Are you going out?” I came out of the kitchen as my ears picked up the sound of footsteps moving towards the front door. “ Yes, you're ears are rather sensitive,” mom complimented. “ Nah, not really. Besides, why are you heading out? I mean, I just came not too long ago and I'm making lunch,” I pouted. “ By not coming too long ago, you mean coming in the morning before nine and staying till past noon?” She placed both hands on her waist arching her brows as she questioned rhetorically. “ Haha, guess I've been here for quite a while,” I scratched my head awkwardly. “ Mhmm, you have. Anyway, I'll be back soon enough. I want to get some things then drop them at the orphanage before coming back so don't wait for me before you have lunch as I might take a bit before coming,” she smiled before heading for the front door. “ But...” “ Bye!!” She yelled, banging the door behind her as she escaped from the house. She wa
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 123 - Suspicions
Anastasia’s POV Kasper and I sat on the chairs in the balcony and got a minute or two after we arrived, we didn't say a word. Maybe it was because we didn't want to talk about the night we came out to the balcony which ended up rather hot or we were simply unsure of how to react to the news of what truly happened to Aurelia. “ I don't know what to say to you,” he let the words escape his lips like air he had held in too long. “ What do...” “ I know we've already settled this issue of Aurelia’s death before and I regretted treating you the way I did but this is different. I feel guilty - guilty because I had made you suffer a lot for someone else's crimes,” he pushed his hair backwards with both hands. “ I couldn't exactly blame you, after all, I would have done the same thing if I were in your shoes,” I turned to look at him but contrary to his usual self, he wasn't staring back at me. “ Thinking about how I blamed you and forced you to get married to me just s

Anastasia's POV “ Can we all take a minute to calm down?!” Sebastian yelled for the first time which took not just me but Kasper by surprise. I had never heard him use a tone outside his regular calm tone. “ Even though I understand how you feel since she was once Kasper's fiancee and your best friend but I also know that the last thing we'd want to do is jeopardize our future because of the past,” Sebastian cleared his throat and went back to his calm nature. “ Do you expect me to just forgive her?!” I raised my voice at him. “ No one talked about forgiveness here, I said we need to focus on what matters first and that is getting Kasper out of this mess or should I be the one reminding me of your priorities?” He peered into my eyes. “ Sorry, I just let my emotions get the best of me,” I muttered. “ It's alright, I just needed you both to set your emotions aside, we'll deal with this later and trust me when I say she'll face her punishment due her once everything is settled.

Anastasia’s POV Cora walked through the glass doors which jingled as she stepped in. She quickly spotted us - yes, I hadn't come alone. I had informed Sebastian about it and he volunteered to follow me for safety sake. “ You came with company?” She asked rhetorically as she got seated. “ Yes, do you have a problem with it?” I retorted. “ No, I just wanted to sound normal and friendly but I was wrong assuming you'd take it as a friendly question,” she mumbled. “ Let's cut the chase and get straight to the point,” I was strict. “ Agreed. What did you say you have to tell her?” Sebastian backed. “ Where should I start? I've done a lot of horrible things really,” she clutched her head. “ You don't say,” I remarked sarcastically. “ Let me start in a progressive manner. So the first or rather my first confession to make is about what happened that night between I and Kasper,” I sighed and grabbed the glass of juice in front of me to cool my nerves down.

Lucas'POV I took a deep breath as I walked into the Bourne’s estate. I needed to cast all my insecurities and brace myself for the worst possible results - simply put, I needed to confront grandpa. “ I thought it was a prank when the guards said you were here but turns out it wasn't,” granddad was already seated. “ It's unusual for you to give me sudden visits. Hmmm, last time I checked you disliked me but I guess the feeling is a bit mutual so to say,” I clenched my fist at his words. Granddad was always so brutally honest which pissed me, sometimes it made me wonder how he managed to live this long with a mouth like this. “ That's exactly why I'm here. I need answers,” I stated my purpose. “ And what makes you think I will answer willingly?” He brushed the petals of one of his plants. “ Because I'll speak and you will listen. Not only would you listen, you will answer all the questions that have long be eaten me up,” it was now or never. “ Hmmm, quite the ch
