Chapter 41 - Shower Scene

Sebastian’s POV ••••My Mansion•••• I had left the company building because of Liam constant nagging and bugging. I knew he didn't just want to go to work. “ Hmmm... Anastasia,” I said looking at her resume. My memory of her was rather hazy, everything seemed so unclear. As much as it struck a bell, I still couldn't remember. “ Maybe I should get our yearbook,” I thought to myself as I got to my feet. I searched the shelves for the long forgotten yearbook - I doubt I had ever looked at it after graduation. I never cared about it or the people in it. In the top rack of one of the shelves, I pulled out the yearbook I was beginning to doubt I still had. It would have been dusty if I wasn't particular about my cleaning preference. One spec of dust could land me in the hospital and it's all because of that fool called Liam. Sitting down on my swivel chair, I flipped through the yearbook in search of Anastasia’s profile and to see if she really did attend the same school as I did. Flip

Chapter 42 - Mudslide Of Memories

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

Chapter 43 - We Meet Again?

Anastasia's POV I sipped on my cranberry juice as the make-up artist touched up my makeup. We had just one scene to go for today. I could feel Lucas gaze on me, I hadn't exactly talked to him ever since I found out he was Kasper's younger brother and as much as I knew it hurt him that I was snobbing him, I needed time to process all this. For the first time I was grateful for Kasper's impulsive behaviour, who would have thought he had cancelled most of the kiss scenes and even got a stunt double for the necessary scenes just so he could prevent I and Lucas from doing... I don't even want to think about it. “ You're avoiding me, aren't you?” I flinched at the sound of Lucas' voice. I didn't know when he had walked up besides me. “ We're done, ma'am,” one of the make-up artist informed. “ Alright, you can leave,” I dismissed her and her assistant, leaving I and Lucas alone. How I prayed this day wouldn't come. I didn't want to talk to him now, at l

Chapter 44 - Old School Friend

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

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,

Chapter 46 - Reminiscing 1

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

Chapter 47 - Reminiscing 2

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

Chapter 48 - Reminiscing 3

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

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

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.“
