Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 45 - Go Out With My Daughter
Kasper's POV I looked around my room as I adjusted my tie, it had just been two days since Anna and the kids left yet I was missing them. I missed the twins nuisance and rascally behaviour but primarily, I missed Anna. Of course we would see at work but she wasn't so welcoming there. “ The car is ready, sir,” Steve knocked on the door and announced. “ Give me a minute, I'll be out,” I answered. I should probably find a way to convince Anna to bring the kids over again. I walked out of my room and down the flight of stairs leading to the main living room, just then my phone rang. “ Mr. Vandenberg?” I answered. “ CEO Kasper, it's been a while since we met,” he laughed in his usual manner. “ If by a while you mean like six months ago, then okay,” I joked. “ It's still a bit of a while as long as it's over a month, don't you think?” “ I can't argue with you, Mr. Vandenberg,” I bent to his opinions. “ But I'm curious as to why you called me so unexpectedly,” I said a half question,

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 woke up to the banging sound against my door, who could it be knocking by this time? I sat up in bed lazily, checking the time. It wasn't so early after all, it was exactly 8:00 AM. I jumped out of bed and headed towards the front door half awake. “ Yes?” I swung the door open, rubbing my eyes. “ You really should learn to be security conscious,” there was no way I was mistaken Aurelia’s voice especially when she nags me. “ Aurey? What are you doing here by this time?” I was more aware now than before. “ I should be the one asking you,” she let herself in and her bodyguard followed her in as well. “ Earth to Aurey,” I waved my hand as she sat on the couch, making herself at home. “ Last time I checked, this is my apartment,” I reminded. “ I know that dummy. It's eight in the morning, what are you supposed to be doing?” She tried to jog my memory and only then did it come to me - Work. “ Shit!” I cussed as I dashed into my bedroom. How could I forget that I

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
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 49 - Is it alright if we meet up?
Anastasia's POV I sat with my legs crossed as I opened the magazine that lay in front of me. I was done with my shoot but I didn't mind watching others either, though right now, I was occupied by the magazine in my hands but the persistent mutters kept interrupting the flow of things. I clenched my fist in annoyance trying to focus but it was like the more I focused, the louder the gossips and the mumbles got. “ I heard that CEO Sebastian personally came to see Anna,” the major gossip whispered to a group of jobless girls like her. Why am I not surprised that everyone is talking about it?“ No way,” some gasped in surprise.“ I was there too, it's no rumor,” one chirped in.“ And let's not forget that CEO Kasper changed most of her romantic scenes and even came here himself,” she said in pride of perceived knowledge - her nose was probably sticking out in confidence as the other girls marveled and believed every word she said. Not that her accounts weren't true
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 50 - Cake Fight
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.“
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 51 - You Should Get Married
Sebastian’s POVIt was about an hour drive to my parents place. I had been avoiding here since I came back because I know how my parents are. “ We're home,” I announced as I walked into the mansion. My mom's frowning face met mine but it didn't last long. “ Oh, my baby,” she was about to hug me but I took a step back. “ Don't worry, I just disinfected myself before you came,” she knew what was on my mind. She pulled me into a hug and I simply went with the flow.“ I never thought you'd come home so soon,” I heard my dad's voice. He acted like I hadn't been threatened by his wife to come over.“ Someone might think I came here of my own accord. From what I remember your wife coerced me,” I smiled at dad and our silent war began.“ Your mom,” he corrected with a smile as he shifted the blame.“ She was your wife before she became my mom,” I smiled as I retorted.“ Oho, why the confidence? She might have been your mom before she became my wife,” dad dropped a counter
Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend Chapter 52 - You are married?
Anastasia's POV “ Can't we come with you? Pretty please, momma,” Chloe and Claude pulled at either side of my baggy trousers begging me while I stood with a pissed face. I wasn't pissed off at them, I was annoyed at the fact that this has been going on since they woke up. “ A no is a no. Besides, I'm pretty sure that your dad wouldn't want that,” talk about tactic for escape. “ Why won't you take us with you!?” Chloe cried. “ Are you ashamed of us?” Claude took me unawares with his question. “ Why would you even think of something like that?” I searched his eyes for answers. I felt a bit hurt that he felt that way.“ I didn't mean it that way but you never take us out. You keep us at home nearly always except we're going to school,” Claude sat in a corner sulking. I've never seen him sulk before, was I being too protective? “ Nobody even knows who your kids are because you rarely take us anywhere,” Chloe frowned. Maybe I was overdoing thi
