บททั้งหมดของ Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

Cora's POV I stood in front of Kasper's mansion, I had rung the doorbell over a million times probably but no one seemed to respond. I had come to check on him since he had not been coming to work steadily. “ I'm Cora Vanderburg, the daughter of...” “ I never asked you to introduce yourself. I know who you are so what are you doing here?” The maid spoke through the gate intercom. She was bloody rude for a maid, how in the world did Kasper let his maids be this sharp tongued? “ I'm here to visit Kasper. He hasn't been coming to work lately so I wanted to check up on him,” I forced a smile knowing fully well that she could see me. “ I'm not sure CEO Kasper would ever want to see you so you shouldn't have bothered to come in the first place. If that's all, I'll be leaving first,” she said sternly. Before I could riot and cuss, she had turned off the intercom. “ Argh!!! I swear I'll rip her hair from her head if I get the chance to,” I fumed as I continued to tap t

Anastasia’s POV I stood in the kitchen stir frying some veggies but my mind was distracted. Lately even with all Sebastian’s effort to make me happy, nothing seemed to work. I have been unnecessarily emotional, depressed and I think I'm even starting to lose my mind. Tears came rolling down my cheeks, thankfully the kids were in their room and Mom was out. Remembering Claude’s words back at the kindergarten weakened me whenever I thought about it. I flashed back to what had happened a few days back. “ Your mom was worried that you wouldn't be happy about the news so we decided to keep it a secret,” Sebastian spoke up in my stead. “ Whatever,” Claude shrugged and without batting an eye at me, he pulled Chloe's hand gently as he made to walk out on us. “ Claude, Chloe, I wanted to tell you two because I needed to know how you'd feel,” I stopped him, holding on gently to both of his shoulders. “ There was no need to tell us if you were going to do what you wanted

Anastasia’s POV Ms. Athena froze for a couple of seconds after I revealed to her who my ex-husband was. Did it come as a shocker to her that I was married to Kasper previously? Maybe I shouldn't have told her who he was. “ Maybe I shouldn't have said anything about his identity,” I looked down at my hands. “ You really seem taken aback by my revelation,” “ Uh, it's not like that. I just sort of didn't see it coming,” she forced a smile. “ Well, I guess it's sorta hard to believe it since you already have an idea of I and my mom's background,” I let out a sigh. “ You're misinterpreting this. I have never one day looked down on you or your mom not even when she used to work for me talk more of now that she has a successful daughter,” she defended. “ I'm sorry if I gave off the wrong emotions and reactions,” her apology sounded sincere. “ It's fine, I didn't really take much offense. I'm used to worse, ” I kicked my legs as I inhaled. “ Urm...” “ L

Claude’s POV My neck felt sore and my head hurt, I tried to open my eyes but everything was still black. “ Where am I?” I muttered trying to remember what had happened as I still felt a bit groggy. Then it all came to me, I had been taken into a black van with... “ Chloe! Chloe!!” I screamed for her, my heart pounding harder and harder. Thoughts of terrible things flooded my mind and I found myself blaming everything that had happened on my very self. If I hadn't shown my emotions and kept it ... “ I'm fine, Claude. I'm sitting right besides you,” Chloe's voice interrupted my terrible thoughts. She was okay which was more than enough to make me relax even though I had no idea where we were and why we were kidnapped. What was I saying? We were the children of the richest man in the world so it wouldn't be surprising if someone wanted to kidnap us. “ Show yourself, cowards! You really have no guts to not show your face. Are you new to the job?” I taunted. “ Clau

A day laterClaude’s POV I can't believe it has been a day since we got kidnapped. For dad not to have found us yet, this can only mean the people who kidnapped us are working for someone really powerful and influential if not daddy would have found us nearly immediately. Who could have gotten these goons to kidnap us? “ Claude, Claude,” Chloe called softly but in a demanding way. I looked at her - her eyes were desperately searching for answers as if they were written on me. “ Daddy hasn't found us yet. Didn't you say you were working on a plan?” She whispered. “ Yes, I am indeed working on a plan but I didn't think we'd have much use of it before because I thought daddy might find us in time,” I sighed. “ So what are we going to do? Why hasn't daddy found us yet?” Chloe panicked. “ Chloe, one question at a time, okay?” I was stressed as it is. “ Sorry,” she apologized. “ Daddy would have easily found us given his connection and eyes everywhere but this case is a lot more com
