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
Sebastian’s POV I couldn't help but glance over every now and then as the auction sales went on. I was sitting adjacent Anna and Kasper ’s seats. “ I hate to be the one to remind you but if you keep staring at her like that, you'll give her the creeps,” Liam leaned closer as he whispered. “ Sorry,” I muttered. I would have denied but that would only make things worse since I had stared a little bit too long. “ Now let's move on to the next item in our collection,” the host signalled for the attendants to bring it onto the stage and gasps alongside murmurs erupted. “ This, my beloved aristocrats is the Daughter Of Pearl. Of course this necklace isn't made of a pearl but a rare purple diamond enclosed in the purest of onyx,” the host informed us and everyone seemed bewildered by it. “ Woah, this is definitely the best item they've brought out today for auction,” Liam muttered. “ Starting price is ten million dollars!” He announced and everyone began to
Ezra’s POV I let the shower run on the bathroom floor even though I was done using it. I was still trying to get over it but it was proving difficult, I hadn't experienced it in years so why was it coming now? Turning off the shower, I walked out of the bathroom, I needed to get changed and head to work. “ You look pale, it's unlike you,” Athena noticed. She sat in front of the vanity mirror doing her makeup. “ I saw it again,” I said to her in a quiet voice. Her attention was fully on me now, she dropped her lipstick and got up. She approached me. “ You're having those nightmares again, aren't you?” She touched my face softly. “ Yes, I keep seeing her. A baby girl with a mix of blue and grey eyes or was it hazel, I'm not exactly sure,” I held on to my head. “ And?” She urged. “ The baby was reaching out to me and crying as it was being taken away and for some reason it felt like I lost a part of me,” I placed a hand on my chest. I had understoo
Anastasia’s POV I looked through the multiple documents on my desk, signing them and reviewing some. It was barely eleven in the morning but yet I was already tired. “ Ma'am, you called for me?” One of the workers walked in. She greeted. “ Yes, I need you to go through this and make corrections. I've already emailed you the corrections you are to make,” I handed her a file. “ Alright, I'll get on it,” she took it from my hand. The moment she stepped out of the office, I banged my head against the desk. “ I'm no doctor but I'm not exactly sure how banging your head against the desk is gonna relieve you of your headaches,” Stella filed her nails. “ When did you get here?” I raised my head to look at her. “ I've been here all along, you didn't just notice me,” she gave me an obvious look. “ Don't you have other things to be doing?” I questioned. “ I'm just like you at this point. I've hit my road block,” she sighed. “ Just say you don't wan
Audrey's POV I got up early in the morning ready for a new day in Riverdale, it's been long since I've been here. “ I should probably call Anna,” I thought aloud as I made breakfast. Her phone rang. “ Mom,” she picked. “ Yes, I know I shouldn't be disturbing your sleep,” I apologized. “ Mom, I'm no longer the teenager you knew. I have a job and I'm a renowned designer now so I'm really busy. I'm already at work by the way,” she informed. “ Sometimes I forget how quickly kids grow up,” I always saw her as a child no matter how big she was and sometimes I wish she wouldn't grow up so fast. “ That's how I feel right now with the twins,” she sighed. “ They still have a long way to go besides you and Kasper are still young so you can still have as many children as you want,” our cases were obviously different. “ Don't let Kasper hear this, you'd give him the go-ahead to be keeping me up all night if you know what I mean,” she humoured.
Months laterCora's POV “ Wait, where are you headed and dressed like that?” Lily asked the moment I walked past her on black booty shorts with black net socks and a black corset topping it up with black boots and gothic makeup. “ Can't you take a guess?” I said twirling so she could have a closer look. “ Hmmm... Nope, don't see nothing,” she said after a while of peering. “ I'm out to a club to grab some drinks and party? Well, I guess that's the plan,” I shrugged. “ You can't be serious,” she scoffed. “ You rarely ever party or go to places like that, so why now?” “ It's Kasper of course. You know I got dad to get me into Bourne Groups right?” I sat down on the papasan chair next to Lily's as I narrated. “ What happened to him? Because I sure as hell know that he ain't meeting up with you any time soon,” she waved her index finger confidently, letting her head follow the movement. “ I will pretend I didn't hear that,” I rolled my eyeballs.
A week laterCora's POV I picked up my phone and dialed a number I had previously thought I hadn't taken. It was about time we meet up. “ Yes, hello,” I greeted the moment Lucas answered. “ I'm surprised you called me so suddenly,” he laughed awkwardly. “ Well, I nearly forgot that I took your number,” I admitted. “ Ohhhh, I'm not surprised,” he remarked. “ No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was I had nearly forgotten that we had exchanged numbers because I was tipsy when it happened,” I confessed. “ It's alright, ” he dismissed and unlike me, I actually felt a bit guilty. “ So....” I hesitated. “ So?” He urged. “ I'm getting off work soon. Would you like to meet up?” I asked. “ Sure, I mean it's not like I have anything doing tonight,” he accepted. “ Where are we meeting?” He inquired. “ Same place where we met,” it was perfect for a second meeting and perfect for what I needed to discuss with him. “ Kk, see you there in a
Cora's POV I stretched out on the king-sized bed which has layers of white sheets. It was still very early and I knew I probably missed Lily's cue but it was worth it. All I had to do was come up with an an excuse or beat the time and the second option was still possible. I could make it home before dawn if I left soon enough. “ You weren't as bad as I thought you would be. I guess I underestimated you,” I smirked as I stared at Lucas who was fast asleep. I propped my head up with my arm. He looked even more innocent when he slept, it made me wonder if this was the same passionate guy of last night. I touched his face, caressing his jawline and paying attention to the details of his face. The more I looked at him, the more handsome he appeared. “ I can't believe I gave my first to you. I've been saving it for Kasper but then again, I might have grown old waiting for that to happen so I believe it's safe to say you were the perfect choice for an option,” I ran my h
