Sebastian’s POV

It was about an hour drive to my parents place. I had been avoiding here since I came back because I know how my parents are.

“ We're home,” I announced as I walked into the mansion. My mom's frowning face met mine but it didn't last long.

“ Oh, my baby,” she was about to hug me but I took a step back. “ Don't worry, I just disinfected myself before you came,” she knew what was on my mind. She pulled me into a hug and I simply went with the flow.

“ I never thought you'd come home so soon,” I heard my dad's voice. He acted like I hadn't been threatened by his wife to come over.

“ Someone might think I came here of my own accord. From what I remember your wife coerced me,” I smiled at dad and our silent war began.

“ Your mom,” he corrected with a smile as he shifted the blame.

“ She was your wife before she became my mom,” I smiled as I retorted.

“ Oho, why the confidence? She might have been your mom before she became my wife,” dad dropped a counter

    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,

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

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.

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

    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.

    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
