Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 92 - Plans To Usurp
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
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 93 - Hurting Everyday Without You
Anastasia’s POV I stood in the kitchen stir frying some veggies but my mind was distracted. Lately even with all Sebastian’s effort to make me happy, nothing seemed to work. I have been unnecessarily emotional, depressed and I think I'm even starting to lose my mind. Tears came rolling down my cheeks, thankfully the kids were in their room and Mom was out. Remembering Claude’s words back at the kindergarten weakened me whenever I thought about it. I flashed back to what had happened a few days back. “ Your mom was worried that you wouldn't be happy about the news so we decided to keep it a secret,” Sebastian spoke up in my stead. “ Whatever,” Claude shrugged and without batting an eye at me, he pulled Chloe's hand gently as he made to walk out on us. “ Claude, Chloe, I wanted to tell you two because I needed to know how you'd feel,” I stopped him, holding on gently to both of his shoulders. “ There was no need to tell us if you were going to do what you wanted
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 94 - Meeting You
Anastasia’s POV I stood by cash desk as I waited patiently for the the cashier to check out the things I had bought. The twins have been in a better mood after seeing their dad last week, I should have let them meet him sooner. “ Everything will be alright,” I patted my chest and let out a sigh. “ Oh my goodness, aren't you Audrey's daughter, Anastasia?” A voice belonging to an older woman which reeked of Italian accent came from behind me. I turned behind to see who it was, it was Athena, my mom's old time friend. “ Ms. Athena?” I called. I hadn't taken note of her surname so I was going to make do with what I knew about her to address her. “ You actually do remember me, I thought you wouldn't since we only met once and you're a busy person,” she gestured as she approached me. I wasn't sure if I had noticed just how pretty she was even in her old age, I mean at first glance you wouldn't be able to tell that she's in her fifties. “ I could never forget my m

Anastasia’s POV Ms. Athena froze for a couple of seconds after I revealed to her who my ex-husband was. Did it come as a shocker to her that I was married to Kasper previously? Maybe I shouldn't have told her who he was. “ Maybe I shouldn't have said anything about his identity,” I looked down at my hands. “ You really seem taken aback by my revelation,” “ Uh, it's not like that. I just sort of didn't see it coming,” she forced a smile. “ Well, I guess it's sorta hard to believe it since you already have an idea of I and my mom's background,” I let out a sigh. “ You're misinterpreting this. I have never one day looked down on you or your mom not even when she used to work for me talk more of now that she has a successful daughter,” she defended. “ I'm sorry if I gave off the wrong emotions and reactions,” her apology sounded sincere. “ It's fine, I didn't really take much offense. I'm used to worse, ” I kicked my legs as I inhaled. “ Urm...” “ L

Claude’s POV We got down from mom's car as she stopped in front of our kindergarten. Mom had decided we attend today's school event, it was an event we're both parents and children will be present. “ I still say we sit at home and do something more beneficial,” I complained with folded arms. “ I still think this is going to be fun so why the complaints? Besides, it's been a while since we interacted with other children,” Chloe was excited about all this. “ Pfft, why would you want to talk to those balloon heads? It's like talking to an actual baby,” I scoffed. Most of the children here were too dull or regular for me to have a tangible conversation with. “ Just because they aren't as smart as you are doesn't make them dull,” Chloe corrected. “ Whatever. This still sucks,” I frowned. “ Claude are you alright? You don't look too happy to be here,” mom's face highlighted in worry. “ Oh, Claude? Nah, he's totally okay with coming here. He told me he sor
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 97 - Kidnap 2
Claude’s POV My neck felt sore and my head hurt, I tried to open my eyes but everything was still black. “ Where am I?” I muttered trying to remember what had happened as I still felt a bit groggy. Then it all came to me, I had been taken into a black van with... “ Chloe! Chloe!!” I screamed for her, my heart pounding harder and harder. Thoughts of terrible things flooded my mind and I found myself blaming everything that had happened on my very self. If I hadn't shown my emotions and kept it ... “ I'm fine, Claude. I'm sitting right besides you,” Chloe's voice interrupted my terrible thoughts. She was okay which was more than enough to make me relax even though I had no idea where we were and why we were kidnapped. What was I saying? We were the children of the richest man in the world so it wouldn't be surprising if someone wanted to kidnap us. “ Show yourself, cowards! You really have no guts to not show your face. Are you new to the job?” I taunted. “ Clau
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 98 - It's All My Fault
Anastasia’s POV My heart shattered into a million pieces as Claude and Chloe left. Chloe's words rang in my head. “ You really just had to keep pushing him on us, didn't you?” Her eyes were sad contrary to jow bright they always were. I had thought and believed that Claude was overreacting because he was always so critical of things but Chloe's words made me understand how wrong I was all along. “ Are you alright?” Sebastian shook me slightly to snap me out. “ No, how could I be alright?” I looked at him with teary eyes. “ My kids must hate and resent me so much right now,” I wanted to scream and cry. “ They don't hate you, Anna. They might not like and understand everything that's going on but I'm sure they don't hate you,” he did his very best to comfort me. “ You have no idea how precious my babies are to me and how their pains hurt me. They look up to me to make the right decision for us as a family and they always have without complaints. This is the firs

A day laterClaude’s POV I can't believe it has been a day since we got kidnapped. For dad not to have found us yet, this can only mean the people who kidnapped us are working for someone really powerful and influential if not daddy would have found us nearly immediately. Who could have gotten these goons to kidnap us? “ Claude, Claude,” Chloe called softly but in a demanding way. I looked at her - her eyes were desperately searching for answers as if they were written on me. “ Daddy hasn't found us yet. Didn't you say you were working on a plan?” She whispered. “ Yes, I am indeed working on a plan but I didn't think we'd have much use of it before because I thought daddy might find us in time,” I sighed. “ So what are we going to do? Why hasn't daddy found us yet?” Chloe panicked. “ Chloe, one question at a time, okay?” I was stressed as it is. “ Sorry,” she apologized. “ Daddy would have easily found us given his connection and eyes everywhere but this case is a lot more com
