All Chapters of Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Sebastian’s POV “ We are going to be having a boat riding competition!” The health instructor announced. He was a lot more excited than the students. “ You're all going in groups of twos, meaning two people to a canoe,” another teacher stated the protocols. “ The finish line has been drawn and is just ahead if you keep going straight,” she added. “ I'm excited about this,” Liam rubbed his palms together in excitement. I was kin of excited as well. I took off my jacket, leaving only my white long sleeve shirt. The squeals of girls I hadn't known were watching me shocked me. “ Now don't forget that your juniors are here as well so don't forget to look after each other, okay?” The teacher instructed as we all got into our canoes. Highschool freshmen and the ones who were in their final year were here together on a field trip. “ Are you scared of water?” Liam asked as he sat inside the canoe. “ No,” I frowned as I got in. “ Now do note that this is a field trip and hence we are in

Anastasia's POV I stared at him in shock trying to understand what he meant by what he said and why he was talking like that.“ Can you at least talk normally? Now, look what you've done,” his secretary frowned at him. They were a rather close pair for a secretary and boss. “ You've put her in a state of shock, who in the world speaks like that?” He asked in confusion. “ My bad then,” he cleared his throat. “ Let me reintroduce myself then,” he said stretching out his hand to me. Didn't they say he didn't like getting touched or touching people? Whispers and mutters flew through the air, everyone was watching in anticipation even I who he was talking to was yet to understand a thing of what was going on.“ I'm Sebastian Corleone, CEO of MooBi entertainment. It's nice to finally meet you again,” what was with the emphasis on ‘ finally ’ and ‘ again ’. I didn't even know who he was talk more of meeting him again.Not wanting to be rude, I stretched out my hands to shake him but j

Anastasia's POV It had been just a few days since I left Kasper's house and met Sebastian but yet I was having so much difficulty sleeping. Maybe it was because Sebastian brought up the name I wanted to forget most at this point. It was a complicated feeling though, I wanted to always remember her but at the same time, I didn't want to be reminded of her. Was I just avoiding reminiscing about when she was alive and being reminded of her death over and over again? I rolled on the bed, flipping like a sausage in a saucepan. What if I just succumbed to it and let my mind replay what had happened? Stella told me it would help me overcome my guilt since facing my fears was what I needed most right now. Closing my eyes, I let my mind drift to what had been haunting it so bad, maybe this was the only way to get rid of the guilt I felt.FLASHBACK “ This is strange, your parents and brother by now would have celebrated your birthday but they're not even around,” I noticed. “ M

Anastasia's POV I stood and watch as Aurelia’s mom cried bitterly as the priest performed the final rites of Aurelia. Everything felt surreal. It had happened too fast for anyone to understand or fully grasp. My eyes were puffy from too much crying and my body hurts from self-inflicted pain.CEO Kasper had also come for the burial though not as early as I thought he would. I watched as the priest told family and friends to have one last look at her. Everyone stepped forward and put a flower in her casket except me. I felt too guilty to, I felt too hypocritical to. I was alive and the only thing I took home was a burn but Aurelia couldn't even take anything home, not even her life. It would have been okay if she was hurt but survived at least, I would have been there to see her through.I peeped from where I stood at Aurelia’s body in the coffin, she looked so peaceful like she was sleeping. But I know that beyond that peaceful look, she wanted to live so bad. I had taken everyth

Sebastian’s POVI dabbed the napkin on my lips as I finished having breakfast. My phone beeped, it was an update of the film's progress from Director Dennis.“ Why are you smiling? You're scaring me,” Liam stared at me in horror like he had seen a ghost.“ How is my smile scary?” I squinted my eyes.“ Not your smile but the fact that you're smiling. You rarely ever smile,” he shrugged. “ What did you see on your phone that's making you smile?” He pried.“ None of your business,” I shoot at him.“ Don't tell me it's related to Anastasia?” I decided it was best not to answer. “ See! You just blushed for a second right there!” He pointed at me in what I felt was unnecessary excitement. “ Don't create a mountain out of a molehill,” I cleared my throat. He was misunderstanding this.“ But I'm right about the news being about Anastasia?” He had a confident smirk on his face.“ No,” I lied with a straight face. “ It seems that you're a little too free recently,” I said getting to my feet.“
