Anastasia's POV “ Can't we come with you? Pretty please, momma,” Chloe and Claude pulled at either side of my baggy trousers begging me while I stood with a pissed face. I wasn't pissed off at them, I was annoyed at the fact that this has been going on since they woke up. “ A no is a no. Besides, I'm pretty sure that your dad wouldn't want that,” talk about tactic for escape. “ Why won't you take us with you!?” Chloe cried. “ Are you ashamed of us?” Claude took me unawares with his question. “ Why would you even think of something like that?” I searched his eyes for answers. I felt a bit hurt that he felt that way.“ I didn't mean it that way but you never take us out. You keep us at home nearly always except we're going to school,” Claude sat in a corner sulking. I've never seen him sulk before, was I being too protective? “ Nobody even knows who your kids are because you rarely take us anywhere,” Chloe frowned. Maybe I was overdoing thi
A week laterSebastian’s POVI banged my head against my office desk in frustration as Liam talked away. He had been talking since the moment we got here but that was the least of my problems right now.“ Geez, if you didn't want to listen you could just have said so instead of banging your head against the poor desk,”“ My parents will kill me if they find out,” I continued to bang my head against the desk not paying an ear to a word he just said.“ What are you talking about exactly?” Liam stared at me in confusion.“ I'm referring to Anastasia. Why in the world does she have kids!???” I groaned in frustration. “ If my parents learn that she has kids, not only will she be rejected, I'll get an ear full from them,” I finally lay my head to rest instead of banging it.“ Why does it really matter? I mean, she's just supposed to be a fake isn't she?” He shrugged as he stared at me in confusion.“ You're talking like we've even told her about it yet,” I mumbled.“ I still don't get you,
Two days laterSebastian’s POV “ The more I think of your idea, the more stupid it sounds,” I sighed as I stood in front of the dressing mirror as Liam helped me with my fur coat. “ You don't always have to be so blunt,” he said through grit teeth as he clenched my coat. He helped me put it on. “ Sometimes, I wonder why I ever decided to take your idea,” I complained. “ Well, you still have the chance to turn back. After all, you've been postponing this meeting for days now,” he reminded. “ And the more I postpone it, the more realization I achieve,” I spoke. “ You're such a pessimist and ingrate,” he pouted. “ But then again, I don't have much of a choice either,” I sighed. “ You've confirmed that she's not in any relationship right?” “ Yup, she's not married and nothing about her relationship life is known but from what I see, she's not in a relationship,” he confirmed to me once more. “ I don't know ab
Sebastian’s POV We sat down in the lounge of the hotel, everyone made sure that the chairs were properly spaced and also properly cleaned before I arrived. I didn't like the thought of being among so many people. “ It's not surprising to see you doing so well in business, after all you are the young master of the Corleone family,” a drunk guy who was also an alumni laughed. “ I didn't think you'd come, I'm so thrilled to be sitting down close to you,” a girl admired. “ It's so nice to see you and Liam again. You guys have been best friends since forever and I don't know how you both kept the flame burning. You're still as close as ever,” one said but why did it sound weird? “ Exactly, my thoughts. Most people won't ever get the chance of sitting with someone of your status, talk about perks of being an old school mate,” another said. They were all a bit tipsy honestly. “ So who's the lucky girl you brought along?” One of
Kasper's POVAnastasia is so going to kill me when she finds out I said I was her boyfriend back in the hotel but well, I'll handle it when the time comes buy Sebastian is wise, he wouldn't easily confront her directly. “ If he had the IQ of Steve then there'd have been no remedy for my case,” I voiced. “ Hey!” Steve frowned. “ Just shut it and focus on the road,” I told him off. Thinking of the fact that Anastasia had personally texted me to come and pick her up, I sort of feel giddy inside. Not only had she texted me her location, she also let me know that she might be drunk so I should come get her. Does this mean she kinda likes me? No, I shouldn't get ahead of myself.“ Let me just watch you sleep,” I smiled to myself as I looked down on her. She was still safely in arms and I knew I couldn't resist the urge to kiss her. I planted a soft, sweet kiss on her forehead.Getting to the mansion, I took her upstairs to my room to sleep. Placing her on the bed quietly, I went on
Anastasia's POVI let the water from the shower pour all over me as I the thought of had happened between I and Kasper last night haunted me. “ Eiish! What's wrong with me? How could I ask him for it?” I felt my face redden. The scene of me kissing Kasper replayed in my head, before going over to the hickeys all over his body which I had seen this morning. My heart beat faster and faster and I felt like banging my head against the glass wall of the shower.How was I going to face him with a straight face after I had sort of taken advantage of him last night? “ You just have to do this, Anna,” I self-motivated. “ You're going to head to the dining room and pretend like nothing happened,” I took in deep breaths to calm myself down.Stepping out of the bathroom, I took my time to apply some cream and basic make-up before putting on a light blue jean trouser and a white top. It was Saturday after all so going casual was far from odd.I walked in on the kids talking about a million thing
Anastasia’s POVI walked out of my room and down the stairs after finally picking out a dress to wear. I had tried over ten dresses to see which one was the best.“ You look pwetty, mommy,” Chloe looked at me dazzled.“ You look amazing but why did you change your clothes to begin with?” Kasper looked at me with twisted brows. “ Oh, you're talking about the jeans and the tee?” I laughed awkwardly. “ Yeah, so I felt it was a bit casual to wear to visit your granddad,” I toyed with my hair, looking bashful.“ I didn't really think it would matter,” he shrugged. “ Besides, I'm surprised that you're going very modest, at least since you came back you've been rather flashy,” he emphasized as he reclined.“ Well, I can't be dressing like a domineering CEO when I want to meet your granddad,” I said making the flare part of my floral dress twirl. I had worn a long white floral dress which had a dash of pink and I crowned it up with a sun hat. This definitely wasn't my style as Anna the fashi
Anastasia's POV“ I prepared this room specially for my cutest great-grandkids,” he was absolutely smitten by Claude and Chloe. He showed them their room which was massive and surreal. Chloe dashed into the room with Claude and jumped into her princess castle bed - it was indeed a bed in the shape of a princess castle while Claude’s bed was a pirate ship. Mr. Bourne had really gone all out.“ Hey, old man. Are you still being frugal with rooms as well? You could have just given them separate rooms,” Kasper looked at his granddad who stared at the twins who were busy accessing the place. “ Has too much working made your brain go rotten?” He knocked on Kasper's head. “ Everyone knows that twins should always stay together,” he stated. “ What the hell was that?” Kasper looked at him with twisted brows. Mr. Bourne and Kasper had a rather weird buy unique relationship. It was obvious they were close but at the same time detached, I couldn't fully understand what was going on between th
