Andrianne met with her lawyer, David, in a quiet restaurant in downtown. The walls were decorated with various paintings and the dim lights created a serene atmosphere. They ordered some drinks and food before settling down to business.David listened attentively as Andrianne narrated everything that had happened leading up to Steve's death. She explained how she had walked into the room and found Steve attacking her husband. She described in detail how she had tried to pull Steve off Lucas, but he had turned on her and had started choking her. She recounted how she had grabbed the gun and had fired in self-defense.David nodded as Andrianne spoke. "I see," he said after she had finished. "That is certainly a case of self-defense. However, we need to be careful with the evidence against your husband. If we don't handle this well, he could end up facing charges for the murder of Steve."Andrianne nodded, her face grim. "I know," she said. "That's why I need you to help me. I don't want

David sat across from Andrianne in her luxurious living room, his eyes scanning the documents in front of him. Andrianne sat on the edge of her seat, anxiously waiting for his verdict. Finally, David looked up and gave a small nod."I think I have a plan," he said slowly, his eyes meeting Andrianne's. "But it's risky."Andrianne leaned in, her heart pounding in her chest. "What is it? I'll do anything to help Lucas."David took a deep breath. "We're going to use your pregnancy as leverage."Andrianne's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"David explained his plan in detail. They would use Andrianne's pregnancy as a bargaining chip to get the FBI off Lucas's back. They would tell the FBI that if they didn't drop the charges against Lucas, they would go public with the fact that Andrianne was pregnant with Lucas's child, and that the stress and anxiety caused by the charges could harm the baby.Andrianne looked skeptical. "But what if they don't believe us?"David smiled wryly. "They will.

The sun slowly peeked through the window as Andrianne woke up to a beautiful morning. She stretched her arms and yawned, feeling content and at peace. As she looked around the room, her eyes fell on a picture of her and Lucas on their wedding day. Her heart swelled with love and pride for her husband, who was soon to be acquitted of all charges.She got out of bed, feeling a sense of purpose and determination. She walked over to the window and pulled back the curtains, letting the warm morning sun filter in. The birds outside were singing a beautiful melody that filled the air. Andrianne took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh morning air, and smiled to herself. Today was going to be a good day.As she made her way to the kitchen to make breakfast, her phone rang. It was Lucas. He sounded ecstatic, telling her that his lawyer had just called him with good news. The evidence they had been waiting for had finally come in, and it proved his innocence beyond a doubt. He was going to be acq

Andrianne and Lucas held hands tightly as they drove back home. They were both overwhelmed with emotions and gratefulness that Lucas had been acquitted. The tension of the past few weeks had lifted and they were finally able to breathe easy again.Andrianne couldn't help but steal glances at Lucas while driving. He looked so handsome and at peace, like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. She was so grateful to have him by her side, especially after everything they had been through.As they drove, they talked about everything that had happened since Lucas was arrested. Andrianne told him about how she had been followed by Emily's men and how David had helped them come up with a plan to exonerate him. Lucas was amazed by her bravery and how she had stood by him through it all."I can't believe how lucky I am to have you in my life, Andrianne," Lucas said, squeezing her hand. "You are the strongest person I know."Andrianne blushed at his words, feeling a wave of happiness w

As the morning light broke through the curtains, Andrianne woke up to a realization that it was Lucas' birthday. She jumped out of bed and went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him. She whipped up his favorite breakfast, pancakes with crispy bacon and eggs, a cup of coffee, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.She lit up candles on the pancakes and sang the birthday song as she made her way to their bedroom. She placed the tray on the bed, and Lucas woke up to the aroma of the delicious breakfast and Andrianne's beautiful voice."Happy birthday, my love," Andrianne said, planting a soft kiss on his cheek.Lucas was taken aback by the surprise and smiled at her. "Thank you, baby. This is so sweet of you."They enjoyed their breakfast in bed, savoring every bite and talking about their plans for the day. Lucas mentioned he had to go to work but promised to make it up to her in the evening."I have a surprise for you tonight, my love," Andrianne said, her eyes sp

CH 77Emily knew that the party celebrating Lucas's birthday was the perfect opportunity to try to make amends. She had been feeling guilty about the way she had acted towards Lucas since the breakup and was determined to apologize and make things right. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was willing to try.As soon as she arrived at the party, Emily spotted Lucas talking with a group of his colleagues. She took a deep breath and made her way over to him, her heart racing. When she got closer, Lucas looked up and saw her."Emily," he said, surprised. "What are you doing here?""I came to apologize," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "I know I acted badly towards you, and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have tried to push the relationship when it was clear that it was over between us."Lucas looked at her for a long moment, his expression unreadable. Emily felt a knot forming in her stomach. She had expected him to be angry, or at least cold towards her, but his silence was worse.F

CH 78.Andrianne sat nervously on the edge of the bed, dressed in a stunning blue dress that hugged her curves perfectly. Her hair was styled into loose waves that cascaded down her shoulders and back, and she wore simple diamond stud earrings that sparkled in the dim light of the bedroom.She checked her phone once again, feeling a pang of anxiety as she saw that Lucas had still not returned her calls. She had planned the perfect birthday surprise for him, but now she couldn't even get a hold of him to let him know where to meet her.As she waited, her mind began to wander and she couldn't help but think about the worst-case scenarios. Had something happened to him on his way home? Was he okay? She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of her stomach.She stood up and walked to the window, gazing out into the dark night sky. The moon was full, casting a soft glow over the gardens and the swimming pool. She longed for Lucas to be there with her, to share in

CH 79.Andrianne woke up with a start as the butler, Johnson gently nudged her. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking disoriented."Good morning, Madam. I'm sorry to wake you up so early. I hope you slept well?" Johnson said, with a concerned expression.Andrianne blinked a few times to get her bearings, and then responded, "No, Johnson. I didn't sleep well. Lucas didn't come home last night."The butler's expression turned sympathetic. "I'm sorry to hear that, Madam. Would you like me to bring you some breakfast?"Andrianne shook her head. "No, thank you, Johnson. I'm not hungry." She paused for a moment before asking, "Did he call? Or leave a message?"Johnson shook his head. "I'm afraid not, Madam."Andrianne's heart sank. She had stayed up all night waiting for Lucas to come home, and he hadn't even bothered to call or leave a message. She felt a lump form in her throat and tears started to well up in her eyes. She got up from the couch and walked to her room, her head hung low.

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. Tears streamed down her face as she clung onto her father's hand, unwilling to let go. 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
