CH 54."Andrianne, are you okay?" Lucas asked weakly."I'm fine, but you're hurt. Let me call an ambulance," Andrianne said as she reached for her phone."No, don't," Lucas said, grabbing her hand. "We can't involve the police. Remember what that caller said? We have to find a way to handle this on our own."Andrianne hesitated. She knew that Lucas was right. If they involved the police, they could risk losing Lucas forever. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down."Okay, but we have to get you some medical attention. Let me get a first aid kit," Andrianne said, getting up from the ground.As she rummaged through the kit, she couldn't help but feel guilty about what had just happened. She had just killed a man, even if it was in self-defense. She knew that she would have to live with that for the rest of her life.When she turned back to Lucas, she saw that he had passed out. She panicked and tried to wake him up, but he didn't respond. She felt for his pulse and breathe

CH 55.Andrianne sat in the hospital waiting room with her head in her hands, trying to keep her composure. She couldn't believe what had happened, and she was scared for Lucas. Suddenly, a doctor walked towards her and she looked up."Mrs. Ross?" the doctor asked kindly."Yes, that's me," Andrianne replied, standing up nervously."I'm Dr. Johnson. Lucas has just come out of surgery and is in recovery. He's stable now, but it was a close call."Andrianne felt a wave of relief wash over her. "Thank you, doctor. Can I see him?""Yes, of course. But you need to understand that he's still very weak and will need a lot of rest.""I understand. Thank you so much," Andrianne said gratefully.The doctor led her to Lucas's room and Andrianne couldn't believe how pale he looked. She took his hand in hers and felt tears prick at her eyes."Hey, you," she said softly.Lucas slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. "Hey," he said weakly.Andrianne squeezed his hand. "How are you feeling?""Like I

Andrianne's father sat in his big study, surrounded by expensive furniture and artwork. He was a powerful man, a wealthy businessman who had made a fortune through his connections and ruthlessness. He had built an empire through his criminal activities, and he was feared and respected by many.Suddenly, his phone rang. It was one of his most trusted men, Steve's right-hand man."What is it?" he barked into the phone."Boss, it's Steve," the man said, his voice trembling. "He's been shot."Andrianne's father felt a jolt of shock run through him. Steve was his most trusted enforcer, the man he relied on to handle the dirty work."Where is he?" he demanded."He's at the old warehouse on the edge of town. We found him there this morning."Andrianne's father hung up the phone and stood up, his mind racing. He knew he had to go to the scene and find out what had happened. He quickly grabbed his coat and headed out the door.When he arrived at the warehouse, he saw a group of his men gathere

CH 57.Lucas slowly stirred and his eyelids fluttered open. He blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the bright light in the hospital room.

He opened his eyes again and looked back at Andrianne. She looked peaceful in her sleep, her breathing slow and steady.He cleared his throat, trying to get her attention without startling her. "Hey," he said in a low voice.Andrianne's eyes slowly opened, and she looked at him with a mix of surprise and relief. "Hey, you're awake," she said softly, sitting up straigh

CH 58.As Andrianne entered Lucas's hospital room, she noticed that he was sitting up in bed and looking at the cards and flowers that had been delivered to him. He looked up as she walked in, and she couldn't help but notice how handsome he looked with his dark hair tousled and his blue eyes sparkling."Hey," he said, smiling at her. "You're back."Andrianne smiled back, feeling a warmth spread through her chest. "Yeah, I couldn't stay away for long."Lucas chuckled. "I don't blame you. This place is pretty boring without you around."Andrianne rolled her eyes playfully. "I highly doubt that. You're probably enjoying all the attention you're getting from your adoring fans."Lucas grinned. "Yeah, but they're not as pretty as you."Andrianne felt her cheeks flush at the compliment. She sat down in the chair next to his bed and they chatted for a while, catching up on what had happened while she was away. Lucas told her about the surgery he had undergone and how he was feeling better al

CH 59.Just then, the door opened and the doctor walked in. He smiled when he saw Lucas up and about, and quickly got to work checking his vital signs and making sure he was ready to be discharged."Well, Mr. Smith, it looks like you're ready to go home," the doctor said with a smile. "I've written you a prescription for some medication to take at home, and I want you to come back for a follow-up appointment in a week."Lucas nodded his understanding as Andrianne packed up his belongings. He was relieved to be leaving the hospital, eager to get back to his own bed and start the process of healing.As they walked out of the hospital, Lucas took a deep breath of fresh air and let out a contented sigh. Andrianne looked over at him with concern, wondering if he was feeling okay."I'm just so glad to be out of there," Lucas explained. "I'm feeling much better, and I can't wait to get home."Andrianne smiled at him, happy to see him in better spirits. She knew that he had been through a lot

CH 60.As the days went by, Andrianne and Lucas's fears of the police investigation into Steve's death intensified. They had been living in fear, waiting for the inevitable to happen. They both knew that they had to be careful, especially Andrianne, as she was Steve's last known contact before his untimely demise.One day, as they were sitting in the living room, Andrianne finally broke the silence, "Lucas, what if the police come knocking on our door? What are we going to do?"Lucas looked at her with a worried expression on his face, "I don't know, Andrianne. I wish there was something we could do, but we can't change what's already happened."Andrianne nodded slowly, "I know, but what if they find out that I had something to do with Steve's death? I don't know how I'm going to live with myself if that happens."Lucas reached over and took her hand, "Hey, don't worry about it. We'll figure something out. We can't change the past, but we can control the present and the future. We jus

CH 61.Lucas was finally feeling better and more like himself. He had been cooped up in the house for what felt like forever, and he was eager to get back to work. He missed the routine of it all, the sense of purpose it gave him. And of course, the paycheck wasn't bad either.He dressed in his best suit, wanting to make a good impression on his first day back. Andrianne was there to see him off, a smile on her face as she gave him a kiss on the cheek."Good luck today," she said. "I'll be thinking of you."Lucas grinned. "Thanks, I'll need it."As his chauffeur maneuvered through the uptown road to work, Lucas couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. He missed the hustle and bustle of the city, the sound of traffic, the energy of the people. He pulled into the parking garage and took a deep breath. It felt good to be back.The day was a blur of meetings and paperwork, but Lucas was glad to be busy. It helped keep his mind off of things, off of the fear that always lingered in th

CH 110Andrianne's heart was racing as she approached Lucas's room with his medication. It had been two weeks since she decided to stay with him until he regained his memory, and every day had been a struggle. Seeing him every day, yet him not remembering anything about their past together, had been heartbreaking for Andrianne.As she entered his room, she saw Lucas sitting on the bed, looking out of the window. He turned his head as she entered and gave her a small smile."Good morning, Andrianne," he said softly."Good morning, Lucas," she replied, trying to keep her voice steady.Andrianne walked over to his bedside and placed the medication on the table next to his bed."How are you feeling this morning?" she asked, hoping to make small talk."I'm feeling okay, thanks for asking," he replied.There was a moment of silence between them before Lucas spoke up again."Andrianne, can I ask you something?" he said hesitantly."Of course," she replied, turning to face him."Have we ever

CH 109Andrianne felt a pang of anxiety in her chest as she drove up the long, winding driveway to Lucas's mansion. It had been several days since she had left, and the fear of the unknown had been gnawing at her ever since. She needed to see Lucas, to know that he was okay, and to check on Emily as well. However, as she pulled up to the house, she noticed that Emily's car was nowhere to be found.Her heart began to race as she parked her car and made her way up to the front door. She hesitated for a moment before finally knocking. She waited anxiously, but no one answered. She tried the doorknob, and to her surprise, the door was unlocked. She pushed it open slowly, calling out Lucas's name as she stepped inside.The house was quiet, and Andrianne felt a chill run down her spine. She made her way through the foyer and into the living room, but there was no one there. She searched the rest of the first floor, but it was empty. She then climbed the stairs, calling out Lucas's name once

CH 108Andrianne was about to leave her father's study, feeling overwhelmed by emotions when something caught her attention. At the far end of the room, on top of a pile of books, was a piece of paper that seemed to have fallen off a desk. She walked towards it, her eyes fixated on the paper. As she got closer, she realized it was a note. Her heart skipped a beat, wondering what it could be. She picked up the note and looked at it closely, her hands trembling slightly. It was a handwritten note from her father.The note was written on a piece of plain white paper, in her father's elegant cursive handwriting. It was dated about two months ago, and it started with "My dear Andrianne". As she read on, Andrianne's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. Her father had written about how he regretted all the pain he had caused her over the years, and how he was sorry for forcing her into a marriage she didn't want. He wrote about how he was happy to see that Lucas had been able to make her hap

CH 107Andrianne sat next to her father's hospital bed, holding his hand tightly as she watched the machines beep rhythmically. Her heart was heavy as she knew that her father's time was running out. She had spent the past few days praying for a miracle, but it seemed that fate had other plans.Suddenly, the machines beeped faster, and Andrianne's father let out a gasp. Andrianne's heart raced as she saw the doctor and nurses rushing into the room. They tried everything they could to save him, but it was too late. Andrianne's father had passed away.Andrianne felt like her world had come crashing down. She had lost her mother to cancer, and now her father was gone too.

She felt like a part of her had died with him.The doctor came over and placed a comforting hand on Andrianne's shoulder. "I'm so sorry for your loss," he said softly. "We did everything we could, but his heart just gave out."Andrian

CH 106Andrianne was pacing back and forth in the spacious living room of the mansion. The silence was deafening, and the loneliness was suffocating. She had been staying in the mansion for a week now, taking care of Lucas, but she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that Emily gave her.She missed her own home and the comfort of her own bed. She missed the routine she had built with Jackie over the past few weeks. Andrianne sighed, she knew she couldn't continue like this. She needed to leave the mansion.As she was packing her bags, Lucas walked in, but he still couldn't recognize her. Andrianne tried her best to hide her disappointment, but it was hard. "Where are you going?" Lucas asked, looking confused."I'm going back to Jackie's house for a while," Andrianne replied, trying to sound upbeat. "I just need some time for myself."Lucas looked at her, his eyes searching for something, but he couldn't find it. "Okay, I understand. Take care of yourself," he said with a smile.A

CH 105Andrianne was waiting at the hospital entrance for Lucas to be discharged. She was dressed in a simple white dress that hugged her pregnancy curves, with her hair tied in a neat bun. She couldn't help but feel nervous and excited at the same time. It had been a long two weeks since she had last seen Lucas, and she missed him dearly.Finally, she saw a nurse wheeling Lucas out in a wheelchair. He looked fragile and weak, but Andrianne's heart skipped a beat at the sight of him. She rushed over to him and gave him a gentle hug."Lucas, are you feeling better?" she asked him.Lucas looked up at her with a blank expression. He didn't seem to recognize her at all. Andrianne felt her heart sink, but she tried not to show it."Yes, I'm feeling better," he replied in a monotone voice.Andrianne felt a lump form in her throat. She knew that Lucas had lost his memory, but she didn't expect him to forget her completely."Come on, let's get you home," she said, trying to hide her disappoin
Elevator. 104
CH 104Andrianne's heart was pounding as she walked towards the entrance of the hospital. She couldn't believe that she was about to see Lucas after so long, but the thought of him not recognizing her was also terrifying. She had been on bed rest for two weeks, and her pregnancy had been giving her a hard time, but she couldn't wait any longer to see Lucas.As she approached the reception, she asked the nurse for Lucas' room number, and she was directed towards the elevator. Her legs felt weak as she stepped inside, and she kept praying that everything would be okay. The elevator ride felt like eternity, but finally, she arrived at Lucas' room.Andrianne gently opened the door and saw Lucas lying on the bed with his eyes closed. She walked closer and noticed how pale he looked, and her heart broke for him. She reached out and gently touched his hand, and his eyes fluttered open."Lucas?" Andrianne said, holding her breath.Lucas looked at her blankly and then turned his head away. And

CH 103.Emily walked into the hospital room, her eyes scanning the area until they landed on Lucas. He was sitting up in bed, staring into space, his expression blank. Emily felt a twinge of pity for him. He looked so lost, so vulnerable. But she quickly pushed those feelings aside. This was her chance to hatch her plan."Lucas," she said softly, approaching his bed.Lucas looked up at her, his eyes dull and lifeless. "Emily," he said, his voice barely above a whisper."How are you feeling?" she asked, pulling up a chair and sitting down beside him.Lucas shrugged. "I don't really know," he said, his eyes still fixed on some invisible point in the distance.Emily leaned in closer. "Do you remember what happened?" she asked, trying to sound concerned.Lucas shook his head slowly. "No," he said, his voice barely audible. "I don't remember anything."Emily's heart raced with excitement. This was it. This was her chance to start fresh with Lucas, without Andrianne in the picture. "That's
