All Chapters of Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Anastasia's POV I stood backstage in Kendrick’s dressing room as he got ready for a concert. I wore a velvet black fashionable suit. I watched with a serious face as the make-up artists made finishing touches to his face. I preferred him without the make-up though but of course, as usual, everything he wore suited him. “ Come over here,” he ordered. “ Why should I?” I snapped. Ever since the day he found out that I was indeed a girl and we kissed or rather he kissed me after, I had been finding it difficult to face him. I wanted to run away but then again, I had a job that was signed. I couldn't leave now. The artists and wardrobe designers stared at us as we went head on against each other. “ I want you to help me button up and properly arrange my shirt,” he said getting to his feet. He had on a lightweight black sequin shirt which was designed in a fashionable manner which I found hard to describe. “ You have people attending to you already,

Claude’s POV We sat at the backseat quietly, safely strapped behind the seatbelts. Chloe was glued to her teddy she called Blue which was in reality pink. I still couldn't wrap my head around the reason for the name, maybe she named it when she had no idea what colors were. “ I might be getting off work late, my loves so I might take a while to pick you up,” mom informed us. “ Are we going to wait for long?” Chloe questioned. “ Definitely not, honey,” mom reassured. “ If your mom can't pick you up, that's exactly why you have your godmother at call,” Aunty Stella said with pride. Our car finally came to a halt as we parked in front of the school gate, mom got down from the car and helped us out. Our homeroom teacher stood outside to welcome us. “ Be good at school, okay?” Mom patted our heads as she handed us over to our teacher. “ We will,” we chorused. “ And don't cause trouble, okay?” “ We won't,” we echoed this time in a more frustrated manner. “ Claude please try not to

Anastasia's POVI stretched my body in search of relief, shoot for today was finally over and I could go home and sleep, finally! “ Stella must have picked up the kids,” I muttered to myself as I looked at the time. It was already past seven. I went in to my private room to change out of my clothes and get my makeup taken off. “ Nanny, have the kids eaten?” I picked up my phone to call Nanny. “ The kids? My, they are not back from school yet. I thought you would do that after your shoot,” she seemed taken aback by my question. “ How about Stella, is she back yet?” I inquired. “ No, not at all. Not a singy word from her,” she exclaimed. Something was odd but I couldn't make Nanny worried when I wasn't even sure of any of my suspicions.“ Is there a problem?” She sounded worried.” Of course not, don't get yourself worried for nothing. Everything's fine,” I assured before hanging up on her. I picked up my phone to call Stella,her phone rang but there was no answer. I began to h

Anastasia's POV I felt his hand slither up my thighs as we clung to each other kissing. I knew I shouldn't be doing this but at the same time, I found it hard to resist him. He was like my Eros in a way I didn't like.“ I'm madly in love with you, Anna,” he muttered still buried in the wetness of my lips. Every word of what he said sounded as sincere as sincerity could get but I had to fight my urges and his sweet words. I didn't know when I placed one of my hands on his belt. Honestly, I missed him, I missed his every touch and maybe deep down I wanted to rekindle that flame. He didn't hesitate to grope my breasts, I could feel my nipple go erect from pleasure, followed by a wetness between my legs. As he pressed harder against me, I could feel his bulge against my body. I moaned.“ Kasper, let's stop,” I tried to break free from the force of passion that was pulling me to him. I put my arms between us to create a distance between us, I pushed him away gently.“ What happened

Claude’ POV “ Yesterday's plan went on well. We were able to successfully get mom to stay behind,” I sighed as I announced to Chloe who sat quietly on the floor listening to me talk. “ So what's next? What happens after this?” She raised her hands and questioned. “ Well, we need to find a way to bring dad and mom together. Mom is the major trouble we have,” I pondered out loud as I too sat on the floor. “ We could get them to do things together,” Chloe suggested with a shrug. “ I kinda already know that but my issue is what exactly can we get them to do?” I asked. “ Ooh, how about cooking?!” She threw her suggestions excitedly. “ That's a brilliant idea!” I snapped my fingers. Why didn't I think about that? “ How about we convince them to take us on a picnic? ” I smirked. I was loving my idea. “ That's perfect but then again, isn't mom gonna be busy today?” She tilted her head. “ When everyone was asleep last night, I kinda stole mom's tab and checked out her schedule. She's
