Later that evening>>>>>>>*** At the hotel lounge ***Lucas's POV~"Where is he?" I thought as I took a sip from my drink. He usually isn't the type to show up late, so I was quite surprised at this point. "Perhaps I should call him again" I decided as I dug my hand into my pocket and brought out my phone. I was just about dialing him when suddenly......."There you are. I was looking all over for you" I heard Casper's voice as he walked up behind me. "Oh, same here. I was just about to give you a call" I said with a feigned smile as he sat down. He looked around the place and back at me with a smile. We smiled at each other for about five seconds of silence before bursting out in laughter. It had really been a while since we met up like this and had it not been for the fact that I still loved Anna, I wouldn't trade this for the world. But what was a man consumed by love supposed to do? I had to pick between my love for Anna and the bond I shared with my brother, and frankly, I was a
*** Cora's bedroom, at the Vanderburgh's Mansion***Cora's POV~"Badum! Badum! Badum!...." My heart kept thumping within my chest. I was extremely nervous. Why hadn't Lucas called yet? I could rest. I was all over the place. One moment I was the bed, the next thing I know, I'm sitting on the chair in my room. Tonight after all these years, I would finally get to be with Casper, even if it wasn't participate going to be his choice. I couldn't care less at this point. The idiot wouldn't know true love even if it was shoved in his face. I was not only going to spend the night with him, I was going to make him mine forever and the first step to achieving that would be to remove that bitch from the picture. She was literally all that stood between Casper and I and I was going to make sure she was removed from his life, even if it would mean getting my hands dirty. I was hella sick and tired of being the ignored one. I mean what did she have that I didn't? If anything, I had a lot more than
Cora's POV I walked into the mansion in fury, I wanted to break everything in my path. “ Woah, chill there hotman,” Lily noticed my mood the moment I walked in. “ How the f*ck am I supposed to stay calm?!” I tugged at my hair. “ Okay... From your mood, I'll be right to guess that your plans failed... Again?” She emphasized the ‘ again ’ which wasn't helping. “ You have to be specific about the failure you're asking about,” I huffed. “ So now there are categories? Ugh! Fine, did you somehow snake your way between them?” She inquired after throwing a fit of frustration. “ Well, I caused the misunderstanding and Anna took the bait. She left him,” I answered with folded arms. “ So why are you mad?” Lily twisted her brows. “ Kasper hates me,” I spat. “ Erm... Is that supposed to be new?” She stared at me confused. “ You don't have to rub it in my face, you know?!” I screamed at her. I didn't know when I began to cry. “ One minute you're
Anastasia’s POV I sat down on my bed crying thinking about all that had happened in just a week. Kasper had given me up to a million calls and a trillion text which I ignored without a second thought. “ How could he?” I sobbed. All I ever did was love and trust him again after our initial misunderstanding. I thought everything was going to be fine and never did I think that one day he would cheat on me. This was more infuriating than I thought. “ Can I come in?” A knock followed by mom's voice came from outside my room door. I had moved in with the twins to mom's place, there was no way I could still keep on living with Kasper and I'd probably run mad staying in that glass house of mine. She walked in with a tray of strawberries. “ You should have some,” she offered placing the tray on her thighs as she sat on the bed facing me. “ I don't have an appetite,” I muttered. “ Honey, you haven't eaten properly in days now. I'm getting worried,” mom expressed her con
A month laterSebastian's POV~ "Beep! Beep!... Beep! Beep!" My G-Shock watch beeped distracting me from my paperwork. I took a quick glance at it and my eyes widened in surprise."Geez, I almost forgot." I muttered. I was supposed to meet Anna in the next ten minutes. I felt a bit jiggy inside, almost like there were butterflies fluttering in my stomach. These past few weeks had been nothing short of heavenly for me. I literally get to see her everyday. I mean, what more could I ask for? " *Beep!*..... Hey Liam, get in here now...*beep!*...." I called out to my PA via the intercom on my desk. I had to delegate the paperwork to someone else. And besides, he was always better suited for this kind of stuff than I was. "Knock! Knock! Knock!" I soon heard a knock on my door. "Must be Liam" I thought as I sorted out some of the files. "Come in" I answered and he immediately walked in. He had this look on his face that meant that he already knew why I was calling. He didn't really lik
*** Street bench by the riverbank ***Sebastian's POV~"Bwubwubrrr!" I shivered as sea breeze blew inland. It was sorta chilly tonight. I took a look at my watch and look up at the night sky. It was rather star-studded and I could clearly see the milky way spread out across the sky. "She's quite late tonight" I muttered as I looked around for her. It's a good thing I brought my coat. I didn't expect that it would be this chilly. Why did she even pick this place? "Hooooonnnkkk!" I heard a ship honk from a distance. I couldn't quite make it out in the darkness but I could see it's lights as it floated across. "Hey" Anna's voice suddenly reached my ears as she walked up beside me. I turned around only to see her. I didn't even realize when I subconsciously smiled."Oh you're here. I was beginning to think I had the wrong location" I said with a chuckle as she say down beside me. She laughed too."Nah, something came up" she said, "So how was work today?" She asked. "Well, you know?,
Cora's POV I stood in front of Kasper's mansion, I had rung the doorbell over a million times probably but no one seemed to respond. I had come to check on him since he had not been coming to work steadily. “ I'm Cora Vanderburg, the daughter of...” “ I never asked you to introduce yourself. I know who you are so what are you doing here?” The maid spoke through the gate intercom. She was bloody rude for a maid, how in the world did Kasper let his maids be this sharp tongued? “ I'm here to visit Kasper. He hasn't been coming to work lately so I wanted to check up on him,” I forced a smile knowing fully well that she could see me. “ I'm not sure CEO Kasper would ever want to see you so you shouldn't have bothered to come in the first place. If that's all, I'll be leaving first,” she said sternly. Before I could riot and cuss, she had turned off the intercom. “ Argh!!! I swear I'll rip her hair from her head if I get the chance to,” I fumed as I continued to tap t
Abel’s POV I sat across the table from Ezra, it had been a while since we had met. I had gotten so accustomed to phone calls and texts that I nearly felt like a phantom that has been ignored for a while now. “ How are you enjoying your stay here in the US?” Mr. Vanderburg asked. “ It brings back an intense feeling of nostalgia. I nearly feel like a dinosaur,” I had a serious tone but my words reeked of humor. My deep, whisper-like voice which some people describe as psychotic and similar to that of Joker came naturally with sarcasm. “ You don't say,” Mr. Vanderburg wheezed. “ Sometimes, I forget you're American,” he commented. “ True, even I too forget about my very own origin. I'm already in my early sixties and yet it feels like I've been lost for a little too long,” I frowned thinking about the past. A waiter came over to our table and refilled our wine cups. “ I've always been curious as to why you never returned for so long,” Mr. Vanderburg didn't h
