All Chapters of Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Lucas's POVI woke up relatively early the next morning, I was going to cook something for Kasper. I didn't know how my cooking would taste but I don't mind trying.“ Young master, what are you doing here?” Mrs Margaret questioned.“ I'm cooking or at least I'm trying to,” I scratched the back of my head awkwardly.“ Why don't you leave the cooking to me?” She suggested.” No need, it's alright. I can handle things just fine,” I disagreed. I had made up my mind to do this so I would.“ Your cooking hasn't exactly been the best,” I heard her mutter.“ Hey!!!” I frowned. ” That was like when I was seventeen and it's been years, so you can't judge me by that. I'm twenty-nine now - an adult with lots of experience,” I emphasized the last part.“ I'll leave you to it then but don't poison yourself and master,” she advised? I couldn't even place it as that. It felt more like she was underestimating my cooking skills.“ I'll have you know that I cook alot better most maids and I guarantee th

Kasper's POV We drove for a few minutes before stopping over at a flower shop. I got down with Steve and my bodyguards. Everyone both customers and workers gasped and whispered as I walked in, it was expected, after all, it was a regular flower shop, nothing special. “ Erm... What would you like to get sir?” The attendant who was a lady in her mid twenties asked as she smiled at me from behind the counter as I approached. “ Flowers,” I stated. That much was obvious. “ Haha, I know it's flowers you want. What else would someone want in a flower shop?” She scratched the back of her head awkwardly. She was right, what the hell was with my response? “ I mean, do you have a specific request? Like a particular flower you would like to get?” She questioned more specifically.“ Yes, I do,” I said scanning the entire shop with my eyes. “ Do you have an azalea?” I asked.“ That's definitely a nice flower to pick, not everyone buys them. Do you have any idea what it means?” Sh

Anastasia's POV I sat in the main living room, my hands placed over my ears and my knees to my chest. I rocked on the sofa back and forth in deep thoughts. “ I think he knows who I am now,” I said to Stella who was sitting across from me.“ I would have dropped a word or two of comfort but even I feel the same way. Why did you even look back in the first place?” She slapped her forehead in frustration.“ I don't know. It was more or less reflex action. It's my name he called after all,” I sighed.“ I think we need to come up with something fast before he makes up his mind to look into your past,” Stella suggested.“ That makes sense. I thought I had gotten over my fear for him after so many years and I was confident about it seeing how I easily could withstand facing him during the collabo meeting but the moment he called out my name, my heart instantly froze. The fear that I once thought I had overcome suddenly came rushing back,” I shivered as I narrated.“ Anna, you need to get a

Few days laterAnastasia's POVI sat down on the dining chairs with my sketch book and pencil in my hands. I was finding it hard to come up with a theme for the new product line for B&B fashion which was the fashion industry of the Bourne Groups.“ Argh! I can't seem to think of anything,” I slammed my head on the table in frustration. “ I don't think I've ever been this uncreative before,” I whimpered. It was all Kasper's fault for throwing me off like that.“ Mommy, are you alright?” I heard Chloe's adorable little voice, making me lift my head from it's sulken position.“ She's been acting strangely for days,” Claude muttered to Chloe but kept looking at me suspiciously.“ I'm fine, honey. I'm just so stressed out,” I let out a sigh. ” I've been trying to figure out the theme I wanna use for the new product line I'm working on with B&B fashion but nothing seems to be coming,” I explained my situation to them like they could help me in anyway. “ Maybe if you're surrounded by people

Lucas' POV After acting and playing my role so emotionally and portraying mine in the best possible way, I stood aside backstage to watch Anna perform. My heart raced as I watched her, I think there was something off with the way my body reacted to her. This was my first time meeting her but I felt so connected and responsible for her. “ You can do this,” I whispered loud enough for her to hear as she performed on stage. Everything about her acting was mesmerizing, she was a natural - surprising she even felt nervous. Once she was done, the judges who were the strictest I had met so far actually clapped which intimidated the others who decided to watch from back stage. “ Anna, your skills are very professional. I'm surprised that this is your first time auditioning for a role,” one of the men among the judges commented. “ Not only are your skills so on point, you have the looks, the physique. Everything about you spells attention and I love it,” the young lady among the judge
