Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 29 - Inviting Lucas For Dinner
Anastasia's POV I drove my black sedan car to the hotel as quickly as I could, I hoped nothing had happened to Kendrick. It was my job to keep him safe and here I was, in a state of panic because I neglected my duty of staying close to him when I should always be at his disposal. Getting down from the car, I hurried into the hotel and once I got down from the elevator, I went to his suite. My heart beat faster and faster as I approached. “ Kendrick!” I screamed for him as I swung the door open. Walking into the room, I scanned the suite for him but he wasn't here but he was the one who called me. “ Harry?” I heard a faint voice, similar to that of Kendrick. I had nearly forgotten that I was bearing the name Harry for the time being. Kendrick held on to the leg of a stool close to him in an attempt to get to his feet. His suger level had dropped, that I was sure of. “ Your meds? Where are your meds?” I asked him but couldn't wait for him to mouth his reply. He looked like he would

Kasper's POV“ What news do you have for me?” I was a bit nervous yet curious to know. I needed to know how close Anna and Lucas were now. “ Well, your suspicions were right. Your brother, Lucas went out tonight and turns out Anna invited him over for dinner,” Steve poured out.“ Are they really that close now? Do you think there's a tendency she can fall for him?” I questioned him. I couldn't lose out to my brother, besides, this was my wife we were fighting over.“ I'm not sure I can answer your second question though since the human emotion is a bit messed up,” he scratched his head awkwardly.“ So that means there's still a tendency that she can fall in love with him?” “ Well... I suppose. After all, she's yet to know that Lucas is your brother,” he chirped in the last part.“ How do you think she feels about me as it stands? I have a feeling that she hates me sometimes,” I reclined on my swivel chair.“ You think? That much is obvious,” I heard him mumble.“ Do residual feeling

Anastasia's POV I stood backstage in Kendrick’s dressing room as he got ready for a concert. I wore a velvet black fashionable suit. I watched with a serious face as the make-up artists made finishing touches to his face. I preferred him without the make-up though but of course, as usual, everything he wore suited him. “ Come over here,” he ordered. “ Why should I?” I snapped. Ever since the day he found out that I was indeed a girl and we kissed or rather he kissed me after, I had been finding it difficult to face him. I wanted to run away but then again, I had a job that was signed. I couldn't leave now. The artists and wardrobe designers stared at us as we went head on against each other. “ I want you to help me button up and properly arrange my shirt,” he said getting to his feet. He had on a lightweight black sequin shirt which was designed in a fashionable manner which I found hard to describe. “ You have people attending to you already,

Kasper's POV “ Yes, so we are already working on the new product line. The rate of success is rather high and I'm more than confident about it. You can check out the files in front of each and everyone of you for more details,” I said and all the members of the board nodded their head.After the meeting, I stayed behind to talk briefly with some of the members of the board. I felt a light tap on my back. “ Sir, you need to see something,” Steve whispered.“ Not now, Steve. I'm still have formalities to go through,” I continued to talk and shake the members. “ I don't think it's something you'd like to miss. It's about Anastasia,” my ears stiffened as I heard her name.“ Excuse me for a bit, Mr. Higgins,” I excused myself from their company and went with Steve to my office. If it was about Anastasia, I needed to see it in private.Getting to the office, Steve tapped on my PC and brought out a clip which looked like it was from a movie. “ Don't tell me you made me come here to

Claude’s POV We sat at the backseat quietly, safely strapped behind the seatbelts. Chloe was glued to her teddy she called Blue which was in reality pink. I still couldn't wrap my head around the reason for the name, maybe she named it when she had no idea what colors were. “ I might be getting off work late, my loves so I might take a while to pick you up,” mom informed us. “ Are we going to wait for long?” Chloe questioned. “ Definitely not, honey,” mom reassured. “ If your mom can't pick you up, that's exactly why you have your godmother at call,” Aunty Stella said with pride. Our car finally came to a halt as we parked in front of the school gate, mom got down from the car and helped us out. Our homeroom teacher stood outside to welcome us. “ Be good at school, okay?” Mom patted our heads as she handed us over to our teacher. “ We will,” we chorused. “ And don't cause trouble, okay?” “ We won't,” we echoed this time in a more frustrated manner. “ Claude please try not to

Kasper's POV I sat in a meeting which for the first time I considered boring, maybe it's because Anna was on my mind? After we went out for dinner, she is still yet to say a thing about the kids or us. Just then my phone vibrated as I had put it on silent for the meeting. I answered, the meeting was boring either way so it didn't matter.“ Hello? Is this Claude and Chloe's dad?” A female voice inquired from over the phone. I took a good look at who had called me and it turned out to be an unknown number - strange. “ Yes, who is speaking?” I questioned.“ I'm Ms. Amanda, the homeroom teacher of the twins,” she introduced herself.“ Is there a problem?” “ The twins are in a bit of a pickle and we'll need you to come over,” she sounded urgent. Where the kids in trouble? Could they have injured? “ Alright, I'm on my way,” I said before hanging up. I got up from my seat making everyone stare at me more. “ Sir?” Steve looked at me puzzled. “ Get the cars ready, we're going somew

Anastasia's POVI stretched my body in search of relief, shoot for today was finally over and I could go home and sleep, finally! “ Stella must have picked up the kids,” I muttered to myself as I looked at the time. It was already past seven. I went in to my private room to change out of my clothes and get my makeup taken off. “ Nanny, have the kids eaten?” I picked up my phone to call Nanny. “ The kids? My, they are not back from school yet. I thought you would do that after your shoot,” she seemed taken aback by my question. “ How about Stella, is she back yet?” I inquired. “ No, not at all. Not a singy word from her,” she exclaimed. Something was odd but I couldn't make Nanny worried when I wasn't even sure of any of my suspicions.“ Is there a problem?” She sounded worried.” Of course not, don't get yourself worried for nothing. Everything's fine,” I assured before hanging up on her. I picked up my phone to call Stella,her phone rang but there was no answer. I began to h

Anastasia's POV “ Lucas, you know him?” I turned to look at Lucas who quickly avoided my gaze. “ Let me elucidate you, Anna,” Kasper walked towards me. “ Lucas over here is my little rascal brother,” he revealed and my eyes widened in shock. He was lying, wasn't he? “ You're joking right? Is this true Lucas?” I switched from questioning Kasper to questioning Lucas. “ I should have told you when I found out that you were my brother's ex-wife but I couldn't get myself to. I didn't want you to hate me because I was related to him,” he looked wounded but that wasn't still a reason to lie or deceive me.“ Lucas can you leave us alone,” I tried my best to keep my cool as I clenched my fist. I knew he wanted to say something but chose that it was best not to. He quietly left the living room for us.“ Who gave you the right to pick up my kids?” I pointed fingers at him accusatorily.“ Can we not argue in front of the kids?” He pleaded with me to use reason.“ I have every right and

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
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 122 - A Counter
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. For

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
