Elevator. Chapter 15
Chapter 15The morning was gloomy, as if the weight of the world was bearing down on Adrianne's shoulders. The sky was a dull, slate grey, and a persistent drizzle fell from the heavens, drenching the streets and sidewalks.The air was heavy with the scent of wet earth and leaves, and the sound of raindrops pattering against the windows was a constant, soothing background hum. But for Adrianne, it only served to amplify the weight of her grief, to remind her that the world was still moving forward, even though her world had come to a standstill.As she stood at the window, watching the rain fall, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disconnection from the world around her. It was as if she was trapped in a bubble, a world apart from everyone else, where her pain and sorrow were the only things that mattered.The trees outside were bare, their branches skeletal and reaching towards the sky. The grass was a dull brown, flattened by the weight of the rain. The houses across the street w

Chapter 16.Adrianne stared at her father in disbelief. "What are you talking about, dad? How could you say that about mom?"Her father's eyes grew cold as he replied, "Your mother was always a roadblock to my goals, Adrianne. She was never supportive of me or the decisions I made.""What decisions? What are you talking about?" Adrianne demanded.Her father hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering with an emotion Adrianne couldn't quite place. "I made a deal with Lucas's father, Adrianne. He's promised us financial security if you agree to marry Lucas."Adrianne's mouth dropped open. "What? You made a deal behind my back? How could you do that, Dad?""It was for the good of our family, Adrianne," her father said sternly. "You know how hard times have been for us. This was an opportunity we couldn't pass up.""But what about love, Dad? What about happiness? I can't marry someone I don't love," Adrianne said, tears welling up in her eyes."You'll learn to love him, Adrianne. And besi

Chapter 17.Adrianne drove down the winding road, her mind still reeling from the bombshell her father had just dropped on her. She couldn't believe that her mother was gone, and the knowledge that her father had been involved in her death was too much to bear. The tears flowed freely down her cheeks, and her heart ached with pain.As she pulled up to the house she shared with Lucas, Adrianne couldn't bring herself to get out of the car. She sat there for what felt like hours, lost in thought and consumed by grief. She thought about her mother, about all the memories they had shared, and about the cruel twist of fate that had taken her away.Eventually, Adrianne mustered the strength to get out of the car. As she made her way up the path to the front door, she felt like she was walking in a dream. Everything seemed surreal, like she was watching herself from a distance.When Lucas opened the door, he saw the pain and sadness in Adrianne's eyes, and he knew that something was terribly

Chapter 18.Lucas’ room was a sight to behold. The spacious room was adorned with the finest of furniture and luxurious fixtures. The walls were painted in a warm shade of cream, which added to the feeling of grandeur in the room. The wooden floorboards were polished to a gleaming shine and covered with a plush rug that ran the length of the room.The centerpiece of the room was a massive four-poster bed with soft, fluffy pillows and a matching duvet. The bedding was a soft shade of beige and contrasted beautifully with the deep blue accent pillows. The room was lit by a combination of natural light from the large windows that overlooked the city and the soft glow of strategically placed lamps.Lucas' closet was a room within itself. It was filled with designer clothes, neatly arranged on hangers and shelves. The section for suits and formal wear was particularly impressive. They were arranged according to color and style, and every piece looked to be of the finest quality. The shoes

Emily strutted into Lucas's office,She had put on her signature bright red lipstick and her hair was styled to perfection. As soon as Lucas saw her, he knew what she wanted, but he was not in the mood for her games."Hello, Lucas," she purred, leaning over his desk and giving him a sultry smile.Lucas barely looked up from his work. "What do you want, Emily?" he asked, his tone curt."I was hoping we could celebrate the end of the day," she said, sauntering towards him.But as Emily leaned in to kiss him, Lucas pulled away. "Not tonight, Emily. I have a lot of work to do."Emily's expression turned from seductive to angry in an instant. "What's wrong with you, Lucas? You used to be all over me. Now you act like I'm nothing."Lucas sighed heavily. "Emily, I'm just not in the mood tonight. Can we please talk about this another time?""No, we can't!" Emily raised her voice, frustration evident in her voice. "You've been avoiding me for weeks. What's going on?"Lucas leaned back in his ch

Andrianne lay on her bed staring at the ceiling, her thoughts consumed by the events of the past few days. The revelation that her own father was responsible for her mother's death had left her feeling lost and betrayed. But even more than that, she felt like a pawn in his game, a tool to be used for his own selfish purposes.As she thought about her future, she knew that she couldn't continue to stay married to Lucas. Their marriage had been arranged by her father, and while Lucas had been kind to her, she couldn't keep up the pretense any longer. She knew that she had to file for divorce.Later that evening, Andrianne walked up to her father's house feeling anxious and conflicted. She had made up her mind to leave Lucas, but the thought of facing her father with this decision made her nervous. She knocked on the door and waited as one of the servants opened it."Good evening, miss Andrianne," the servant greeted her with a smile."Good evening, Maria. Is my father around?""He's in

Chapter 21.Andrianne's phone rang just as she pulled into the driveway of her new apartment. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was her father calling. She hesitated for a moment before answering, her heart racing in her chest."Hello?" she said, her voice shaky."Hello, Andrianne," her father's voice came through the phone, cold and unfeeling."Dad," Andrianne said, trying to keep her voice steady. "What do you want?""I want to talk to you," her father said. "About your marriage."Andrianne's heart sank. She had been dreading this conversation ever since she had decided to file for divorce. "What about it?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper."I understand that you're having some doubts," her father said, his voice dripping with condescension. "But you need to understand that this marriage is important for our family. It's important for our business."Andrianne's jaw tightened. She had always known that her father had only arranged the marriage to further his own inte

The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the city, as Andrianne drove through the winding roads towards the cemetery where her mother was buried. The wind was not too heavy, but it was enough to rustle the leaves on the trees and make the car shake a little. As she drove, she could see the tall buildings of the city in the distance, their windows reflecting the beautiful sunset.The air was cool and crisp, and Andrianne couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy wash over her as she thought about her mother. She could remember her mother's smile and the way she used to laugh, and it made her heart ache to know that she was gone.The road to the cemetery was quiet, with only a few cars passing by. Andrianne could hear the sound of the wind as it whipped through the trees and the leaves rustling underfoot. As she pulled into the cemetery, she could see the rows of graves and headstones stretching out before her, a silent testament to the passage of time.The sky was now pa

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
