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
Anastasia's POV “ Don't think I didn't notice how that red hair dude acted towards you that day,” Stella said munching on the strawberries. “ He's just nice, that's all,” I shrugged acting like I had no idea what she was talking about. The thought of the kiss we nearly had on set flashed through my mind and I turned a cherry tomato red.“ Aha! Gotcha!” She pointed at my red face.“ There's nothing really going on between the both of us,” I tried my best to convince. “ We met there at MooBi entertainment and we clicked and ended up acting a scene to...,” I paused when I realized that I might have said more than what was necessary.“ The both of you acted? Isn't it a single audition? Like a one at a time thing?” She inquired, her brows raised and her ears inclined to hear any form of gossip.“ It was at least but the judges wanted us to improvise and see us act together and there you have it,” I explained.“ There's no way on Earth that the both of you didn't act a romantic sc
Anastasia's POVA week later“ Oh my gosh, is that Anna?” I heard a voice from a group of people huddled up as I walked past. “ Of course, it's her. I literally follow her everywhere,” another squealed. “ I heard she's now collaborating with B&B fashion. It's so hard to get her to work with a company,” one muttered. “ Bourne Groups must have paid a fortune,” one exclaimed. “ It's not just about the money, Anna is very critical of the labels she works with. She values her name more than the amount a company is willing to pay,” another informed. “ Why did you think I joined the crew for this movie. The moment I heard she was going to be the lead actress in this film, I quickly switched films to work with,” the head cameraman said.“ Lucky you, we were just lucky enough to be picked to join the crew team for this film,” a girl in her early twenties sighed. “ Are you listened to every single thing that is being said?” Stella nudged me back into reality. “ Huh? Oh, sort of.
Anastasia’s POV I sat down quietly in Lucas' car, it was already past ten. What had we really done tonight that time had flown? I rested my head back on the passenger seat and thought back on tonight’s events. After dinner, Lucas had suggested we go to a park for a stroll and then we headed to a carnival that had recently opened. Honestly, it has been so long since I had fun like this. Aurelia came to mind, we used to have fun like this when she was still alive. We probably would have been the same now if she was still alive. “ Are you awake?” Lucas asked, looking away from the road for about a second before focusing again. “ Mhmm,” I hummed softly as I opened my eyes. “ I just wanted to know if you had fallen asleep,” he said scratching his neck awkwardly. “ I'm sorry for stressing you out today, it was originally planned out to be just dinner but well, maybe I got carried away a bit,” he said in a low voice. “ I don't mind it at all, actually. It was fun,” I admitted. “ Let's
Lucas' POVI drove back home with the feeling of adrenaline rushing through my body. I could feel my face heat up - she had opened up to me. That should normally spell that she's comfortable around me, right?“ I should most likely find a way to bond with the kids. If her kids like me, there's a chance she'd start liking me too,” I bit my lower lips as I muttered to myself.“ I should seek out relationship advice from someone. Would Kasper even want to help out?” He was the first person that came to mind but he was so uncooperative. Besides, his love life was nothing to write home about so what could he possibly advise me? Greg was the next option in line.Getting into the massive premises of the mansion, I turned off my headlights to avoid drawing attention. Kasper would chew me out for coming home this late. I parked the car before quietly getting out and sneaking into the house.“ You're late,” a stern voice came from the darkness as I walked into the main living room. The lights w
Kasper's POVI sat down on the dining chair watching as Lucas walked out of the house with his luggage. He really was proving stubborn this time around, he has never being this stubborn before. Did he really like Anastasia? I clenched my fist at the thought of him liking Anastasia.“ Sir, are you really going to do nothing?” Steve asked. I could see the worried expression on both Butler Luke and Mrs. Margaret’s face. Even Steve was bothered by our argument, it was the first time it had gone overboard of course.“ Yes, I'm not going to chase after that brat,” I said getting up. “ And none of you should either,” I clearly stated. I didn't want anyone attempting to him out of his decision to leave, if someone did, he would think I wasn't serious with what I had said.“ You really shouldn't take what he said to heart,” Butler Luke muttered, not sure if he wanted to say it out. “ Like I care,” I scoffed. “ The feeling was mutual, I hated dad as much as he hated me,” I said walking out of
Cora's POV “ It's a lot more comfortable to be in your own personal house than a hotel no matter how expensive,” Lily fell flat on the large pink bed. It was mine by the way. “ You're only saying that because you can't be crazy freely in a hotel,” I raised my brows. “ It doesn't matter what makes me hate them, I just hate them,” she ruled out. “ Mom and Dad said they'd be coming in today,” I informed her as I tapped my phone. “ For real? What for though? Didn't they say you could handle the affairs of the company here?” She sat up and crawled to meet me on the other end of the bed.“ Does it look like my parents trust me to handle something that big for so long? Dad still looks at me as too young,” I sighed. “ Well, he'll see the change in you when he gets back after all, you learnt from the very best,” she bragged.“ Best indeed,” I remarked sarcastically.“ Anyway, what's the new plan?” She whispered curiously into my ears.“ What plan?” I
Anastasia's POV“ Chloe! Stop running around like this!” I yelled as Chloe jumped and hopped around like a little rabbit she was. “ You're going to get yourself injured at this rate,” I sighed. I glanced over at Claude who was sitting down quietly in the living room, holding a book in his hands.“ Don't look at me,” he snapped the moment our eyes met. “ She's your daughter, not mine. So handle her without getting me involved in her exuberance,” he ended dramatically, rolling his eye balls. Where did he even learn that word from?“ She doesn't want to listen to me,” I sighed in frustration as I reported to Claude.“ Then what makes you think she'll listen to me??” He frowned. “ Just talk to her. You're her twin after all,” I blurted.“ You do know what you said has no relationship to what we were discussing right?” He just had to correct me. “ Just go!” I exclaimed. Hesitantly, he got up and approached Chloe who was excited over nothing this morning.“ Chloe, if you don't stop I'll t
