Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 69 - Love Under The Moonlight
Anastasia’s POV“ Wow... You look stunning, ” he complimented the moment I walked up to him at the balcony where our table was set. He had on casual beach clothes which consisted of a white shirt and a matching white pair of shorts. The more I saw him on other clothings other than suit and stay-at-home clothes, the more I realized that he looked just as hot in anything. His blue eyes sparkled under the moonlight.“ Thank you, ” I replied bashfully.“ Come on, have a seat, ” he opened a chair for me to sit in, before sitting down on his. The waiters and waitresses went to work immediately, starting off with good old sparkling red wine.“ Thank you for tonight, ” I said after my first sip.“ Why are you thanking me? ” He looked at me puzzled. “ Well, for everything. I guess, ” I looked away shyly. Why was I acting like a complete moron in front of him?“ No, I should be the one thanking you for giving me a chance to be a dad and a good one at that, ” he sounded as sincere as sincerity

Anastasia ’s POV“ I indeed thought they had gone home, but when we got to the yacht and you went in to get changed, I caught little Claude and Chloe over here snooping around. They had come here before us to watch everything that was going to happen, ” he shrugged in defeat as he explained. “ I always had a feeling that you still had residual feelings for Kasper and boy was I right, ” Stella was excited. “ Uhh, why do they have to be here tonight? ” I mumbled feeling the need to slam my head against the table. I didn't think there was an actual reason to be embarrassed but I still was.“ No need to feel shy, Anna. We'll be out of your hair in a bit, ” Stella reassured. She wasn't helping at this point. “ Ahem... Can we focus on the reason we came out from our hiding places to begin with? ” Claude cleared his throat. “ Congratulations, daddy and mummy, ” Chloe beamed as she interrupted.“ Thank you, Chloe, ” Claude patted her head. “ Now back to the topic of remarriage, ” he wore

Anastasia ’s POV I winced in pain that came from soreness as I adjusted myself on the bed, was it day already ? I didn't want to get up yet. I slowly opened my eyes. “ You were sleeping so peaceful, I didn't think you'd want to get up so soon, ” the first thing my eyes met was Kasper's dazzling blue eyes. His hair fell onto his face, it was rare to see his hair disheveled even if it was in the morning but I guess, one couldn't exactly style his hair or keep his hair so perfectly aligned when making love. “ How long have you been staring at me like that? ” I asked a bit flustered. “ Well for up to thirty minutes or more, ” he shrugged. “ Did I do anything weird or disgusting? Like, did I snore? Drool? ” I bombarded him with questions as I hid under the duvet.“ Why are you asking this all of a sudden? ” He laughed. “ Wouldn't I already know a long time ago if you did any of that? Besides, I wouldn't mind even if you do that, ” he patted my head and I slowly

Anastasia’s POV“ Everything has been moved to Kasper's place, right? ” I turned to face Stella who sat besides me in the car as the driver drove down the road. “ The last set is already on it's way to Kasper's mansion, ” Stella said scrolling through her tab. “ Alright, thanks, ” I said glancing at my phone.“ I can't believe you're finally leaving me, ” she hugged me as she sniffled.“ And there I thought you were engrossed in whatever you were looking at on your tab, ” I said letting her hug me for a while as she dramatically narrated her feelings. I simply rolled my eyeballs as I watched her perform. “ If you're done with the drama now, can you please let go of me?” She was hugging me a little bit too tight, not to mention she was acting a little too dramatic. “ I can't believe you feel nothing even though we're going to be living separately from now on,” she pouted and sulked. “ Of course I'll feel your absence but you're making it seem like we're not gonna be meeting

WeekendClaude's POV I laid on the beach bed or rather pool bed since we were by the pool side. I picked up the orange juice on the table besides me and sipped from it through the straw.“ So our mission was successful? ” Chloe lifted her pink shades to her hair and looked at me. She was right next to my bed. “ Yup, as expected. Our plans never fail, ” I smirked as I swirled the orange juice around in my cup. “ But there was this one time when you came up with a... ” “ Not now, Chloe. Besides, that was just once, ” I adjusted myself on the bed, placing my hands behind my head. “ It was actually four times, ” she reminded. “ Okay, I get the point but what matters now is this one and all other of my plans excluding those four have been a success, ” I broke it down for her. “ Ohhhh, I get it, ” she finally understood my point. “ If you're done processing, let's have a little toast, ” I picked up my glass and raised it in the air. “ Here, ” she raised hers too. “

The next dayAnastasia’s POV “ Wait, you're what? You're coming to Riverdale? ” I sprung to my feet from Kasper's thighs and paced. We were in the second living room relaxing when mom called.“ Yes, what's the fuss all about? Or don't you want me to come? ” Mom used her pitiable voice, it was her secret weapon. It always worked. “ Of course, I want you to come but like you should have told me ahead of time. Maybe a week or three days earlier, ” I explained. Of course I wanted her to come. I mean, I miss her real bad. “ I wasn't sure you would want me to come after all, you've been hiding a lot from me, ” she poked at something which I had a bad feeling about. What had she heard?“ What are you... What are you talking about? ” I stuttered.“ Wasn't it only recently you told me that you had kids? I mean, you kept the existence of my grandkids away from me, ” she felt offended. “ I didn't mean to, ” I sighed. “ Then, I was scared, okay? First of, I didn't want you tangled up
Last Updated : 2024-02-19Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 75 - Getting On Mom's Good Side
Anastasia’s POV We sat in the car rather quietly after the incident of his memories. I was glad the kids were in a different car from us, the tension would have been too much. I nervously tapped my fingers on my thighs as I bit my lower lips, the more I thought about it, the sadder I became. As much as I know I might have overstepped my boundaries and pried a little too much, I couldn't handle his silent treatment. I felt like bursting up in tears but then, I would be playing the victim card if I did so. It would only make it look like he was the one at fault. I felt his warm hand clasp my hands which rested on my thighs as he supported his head with the other hand while looking out the window. “ I'm not mad at you,“ he spoke in a calm and tender tone. “ But I-I crossed the line,“ I stuttered. “ You didn't. You're my wife, you have the right to know about my past so I'm sorry for not keeping my temper in check,“ he looked at me as he apologized. His dee

Sebastian’s POV “ Sir, the car is ready,” Liam informed me the moment he walked into the office. “ Alright,” I answered. Where Anna and Kasper really a thing? So he hadn't lied when he claimed he was Anna's boyfriend. No, what's wrong with me? This shouldn't be my concern. “ You're yet to wish or send your congratulations to Anna after the award show,” Liam hinted. It was like he knew I was thinking of her. “ She is dating Kasper, I wouldn't want to cause problems by sending her my congratulations,” I excused. “ How does your sending her congratulations have anything to do with her relationship with Kasper? You're just jealous aren't you?” He grinned. “ No, I'm not. I'm just trying to be sensitive,” I evaded. “ Or rather trying to deny yourself the luxury of feeling your own emotions,” he corrected. “ And what is that supposed to mean?” I frowned. “ You like Anna but now that you realize that she's with someone else, you feel hurt but in

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
