Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 40 - CEO Sebastian?
Sebastian’s POV I stood in front of the full body mirror getting dressed, I put on an extra layer of carton brown fur coat which suited my sandy blonde hair. I put on my golden spectacles and white gloves. “ You're going out, Sir?” Liam asked the moment I got to the main living room of my mansion. “ We're at home, Liam. No need to address me so formally,” I reminded. Liam was my personal assistant but more importantly, he was my childhood best friend. He came from an average family whereas I was born with what I would call a platinum spoon but it never affected our friendship for once. We didn't care about that. ” Oh, right. I nearly forgot. But on a serious note, are you really going out?” He inquired in surprise. “ Yes,” “ Seb, you just came back from Germany. Don't tell me you're headed to the company?” He looked fed up of me. “ I am and you're surely tagging along,” I informed him. “ Can't we just give a day or two off before resuming? Don't you even rest

Sebastian’s POV ••••My Mansion•••• I had left the company building because of Liam constant nagging and bugging. I knew he didn't just want to go to work. “ Hmmm... Anastasia,” I said looking at her resume. My memory of her was rather hazy, everything seemed so unclear. As much as it struck a bell, I still couldn't remember. “ Maybe I should get our yearbook,” I thought to myself as I got to my feet. I searched the shelves for the long forgotten yearbook - I doubt I had ever looked at it after graduation. I never cared about it or the people in it. In the top rack of one of the shelves, I pulled out the yearbook I was beginning to doubt I still had. It would have been dusty if I wasn't particular about my cleaning preference. One spec of dust could land me in the hospital and it's all because of that fool called Liam. Sitting down on my swivel chair, I flipped through the yearbook in search of Anastasia’s profile and to see if she really did attend the same school as I did. Flip

Sebastian’s POV “ We are going to be having a boat riding competition!” The health instructor announced. He was a lot more excited than the students. “ You're all going in groups of twos, meaning two people to a canoe,” another teacher stated the protocols. “ The finish line has been drawn and is just ahead if you keep going straight,” she added. “ I'm excited about this,” Liam rubbed his palms together in excitement. I was kin of excited as well. I took off my jacket, leaving only my white long sleeve shirt. The squeals of girls I hadn't known were watching me shocked me. “ Now don't forget that your juniors are here as well so don't forget to look after each other, okay?” The teacher instructed as we all got into our canoes. Highschool freshmen and the ones who were in their final year were here together on a field trip. “ Are you scared of water?” Liam asked as he sat inside the canoe. “ No,” I frowned as I got in. “ Now do note that this is a field trip and hence we are in

Anastasia's POV I sipped on my cranberry juice as the make-up artist touched up my makeup. We had just one scene to go for today. I could feel Lucas gaze on me, I hadn't exactly talked to him ever since I found out he was Kasper's younger brother and as much as I knew it hurt him that I was snobbing him, I needed time to process all this. For the first time I was grateful for Kasper's impulsive behaviour, who would have thought he had cancelled most of the kiss scenes and even got a stunt double for the necessary scenes just so he could prevent I and Lucas from doing... I don't even want to think about it. “ You're avoiding me, aren't you?” I flinched at the sound of Lucas' voice. I didn't know when he had walked up besides me. “ We're done, ma'am,” one of the make-up artist informed. “ Alright, you can leave,” I dismissed her and her assistant, leaving I and Lucas alone. How I prayed this day wouldn't come. I didn't want to talk to him now, at l

Anastasia's POV I stared at him in shock trying to understand what he meant by what he said and why he was talking like that.“ Can you at least talk normally? Now, look what you've done,” his secretary frowned at him. They were a rather close pair for a secretary and boss. “ You've put her in a state of shock, who in the world speaks like that?” He asked in confusion. “ My bad then,” he cleared his throat. “ Let me reintroduce myself then,” he said stretching out his hand to me. Didn't they say he didn't like getting touched or touching people? Whispers and mutters flew through the air, everyone was watching in anticipation even I who he was talking to was yet to understand a thing of what was going on.“ I'm Sebastian Corleone, CEO of MooBi entertainment. It's nice to finally meet you again,” what was with the emphasis on ‘ finally ’ and ‘ again ’. I didn't even know who he was talk more of meeting him again.Not wanting to be rude, I stretched out my hands to shake him but j

Kasper's POV I looked around my room as I adjusted my tie, it had just been two days since Anna and the kids left yet I was missing them. I missed the twins nuisance and rascally behaviour but primarily, I missed Anna. Of course we would see at work but she wasn't so welcoming there. “ The car is ready, sir,” Steve knocked on the door and announced. “ Give me a minute, I'll be out,” I answered. I should probably find a way to convince Anna to bring the kids over again. I walked out of my room and down the flight of stairs leading to the main living room, just then my phone rang. “ Mr. Vandenberg?” I answered. “ CEO Kasper, it's been a while since we met,” he laughed in his usual manner. “ If by a while you mean like six months ago, then okay,” I joked. “ It's still a bit of a while as long as it's over a month, don't you think?” “ I can't argue with you, Mr. Vandenberg,” I bent to his opinions. “ But I'm curious as to why you called me so unexpectedly,” I said a half question,

Anastasia's POV It had been just a few days since I left Kasper's house and met Sebastian but yet I was having so much difficulty sleeping. Maybe it was because Sebastian brought up the name I wanted to forget most at this point. It was a complicated feeling though, I wanted to always remember her but at the same time, I didn't want to be reminded of her. Was I just avoiding reminiscing about when she was alive and being reminded of her death over and over again? I rolled on the bed, flipping like a sausage in a saucepan. What if I just succumbed to it and let my mind replay what had happened? Stella told me it would help me overcome my guilt since facing my fears was what I needed most right now. Closing my eyes, I let my mind drift to what had been haunting it so bad, maybe this was the only way to get rid of the guilt I felt.FLASHBACK “ This is strange, your parents and brother by now would have celebrated your birthday but they're not even around,” I noticed. “ M

Anastasia's POV I woke up to the banging sound against my door, who could it be knocking by this time? I sat up in bed lazily, checking the time. It wasn't so early after all, it was exactly 8:00 AM. I jumped out of bed and headed towards the front door half awake. “ Yes?” I swung the door open, rubbing my eyes. “ You really should learn to be security conscious,” there was no way I was mistaken Aurelia’s voice especially when she nags me. “ Aurey? What are you doing here by this time?” I was more aware now than before. “ I should be the one asking you,” she let herself in and her bodyguard followed her in as well. “ Earth to Aurey,” I waved my hand as she sat on the couch, making herself at home. “ Last time I checked, this is my apartment,” I reminded. “ I know that dummy. It's eight in the morning, what are you supposed to be doing?” She tried to jog my memory and only then did it come to me - Work. “ Shit!” I cussed as I dashed into my bedroom. How could I forget that I

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.

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
