All Chapters of Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Anastasia ’s POV I winced in pain that came from soreness as I adjusted myself on the bed, was it day already ? I didn't want to get up yet. I slowly opened my eyes. “ You were sleeping so peaceful, I didn't think you'd want to get up so soon, ” the first thing my eyes met was Kasper's dazzling blue eyes. His hair fell onto his face, it was rare to see his hair disheveled even if it was in the morning but I guess, one couldn't exactly style his hair or keep his hair so perfectly aligned when making love. “ How long have you been staring at me like that? ” I asked a bit flustered. “ Well for up to thirty minutes or more, ” he shrugged. “ Did I do anything weird or disgusting? Like, did I snore? Drool? ” I bombarded him with questions as I hid under the duvet.“ Why are you asking this all of a sudden? ” He laughed. “ Wouldn't I already know a long time ago if you did any of that? Besides, I wouldn't mind even if you do that, ” he patted my head and I slowly

WeekendClaude's POV I laid on the beach bed or rather pool bed since we were by the pool side. I picked up the orange juice on the table besides me and sipped from it through the straw.“ So our mission was successful? ” Chloe lifted her pink shades to her hair and looked at me. She was right next to my bed. “ Yup, as expected. Our plans never fail, ” I smirked as I swirled the orange juice around in my cup. “ But there was this one time when you came up with a... ” “ Not now, Chloe. Besides, that was just once, ” I adjusted myself on the bed, placing my hands behind my head. “ It was actually four times, ” she reminded. “ Okay, I get the point but what matters now is this one and all other of my plans excluding those four have been a success, ” I broke it down for her. “ Ohhhh, I get it, ” she finally understood my point. “ If you're done processing, let's have a little toast, ” I picked up my glass and raised it in the air. “ Here, ” she raised hers too. “

Anastasia’s POV We sat in the car rather quietly after the incident of his memories. I was glad the kids were in a different car from us, the tension would have been too much. I nervously tapped my fingers on my thighs as I bit my lower lips, the more I thought about it, the sadder I became. As much as I know I might have overstepped my boundaries and pried a little too much, I couldn't handle his silent treatment. I felt like bursting up in tears but then, I would be playing the victim card if I did so. It would only make it look like he was the one at fault. I felt his warm hand clasp my hands which rested on my thighs as he supported his head with the other hand while looking out the window. “ I'm not mad at you,“ he spoke in a calm and tender tone. “ But I-I crossed the line,“ I stuttered. “ You didn't. You're my wife, you have the right to know about my past so I'm sorry for not keeping my temper in check,“ he looked at me as he apologized. His dee

Sebastian’s POV I couldn't help but glance over every now and then as the auction sales went on. I was sitting adjacent Anna and Kasper ’s seats. “ I hate to be the one to remind you but if you keep staring at her like that, you'll give her the creeps,” Liam leaned closer as he whispered. “ Sorry,” I muttered. I would have denied but that would only make things worse since I had stared a little bit too long. “ Now let's move on to the next item in our collection,” the host signalled for the attendants to bring it onto the stage and gasps alongside murmurs erupted. “ This, my beloved aristocrats is the Daughter Of Pearl. Of course this necklace isn't made of a pearl but a rare purple diamond enclosed in the purest of onyx,” the host informed us and everyone seemed bewildered by it. “ Woah, this is definitely the best item they've brought out today for auction,” Liam muttered. “ Starting price is ten million dollars!” He announced and everyone began to

Anastasia’s POV I looked through the multiple documents on my desk, signing them and reviewing some. It was barely eleven in the morning but yet I was already tired. “ Ma'am, you called for me?” One of the workers walked in. She greeted. “ Yes, I need you to go through this and make corrections. I've already emailed you the corrections you are to make,” I handed her a file. “ Alright, I'll get on it,” she took it from my hand. The moment she stepped out of the office, I banged my head against the desk. “ I'm no doctor but I'm not exactly sure how banging your head against the desk is gonna relieve you of your headaches,” Stella filed her nails. “ When did you get here?” I raised my head to look at her. “ I've been here all along, you didn't just notice me,” she gave me an obvious look. “ Don't you have other things to be doing?” I questioned. “ I'm just like you at this point. I've hit my road block,” she sighed. “ Just say you don't wan
