Elevator. 32
Andrianne sat on her bed, still in a daze from the shocking revelation that Steve was working for her father. She couldn't believe it. The man she had trusted and confided in had been lying to her all along. Her thoughts drifted to her mother, who had died mysteriously years ago. Could Steve have had a hand in her death? Andrianne shook her head, trying to dispel the thought. She couldn't jump to conclusions without any evidence.Andrianne heard the knock on her door and knew it was Lucas. She took a deep breath and opened the door. "Hey," he said with a smile. "How was your day?"Andrianne forced a smile. "It was fine, just a little busy with work."Lucas nodded. "I understand. How are you feeling?"Andrianne hesitated for a moment before answering. "I'm okay," she said, trying to sound convincing.Lucas could sense something was wrong, but he didn't push it. "Okay, well let's go downstairs and have dinner. I'm starving."Andrianne followed him down the stairs to the dining room. The

CHAPTER 33.As Lucas excused himself to answer the call, Andrianne's mind raced with all sorts of possibilities. Could it be work-related or something else entirely? She tried not to worry too much as she sipped on her wine and waited for Lucas to return.Lucas listened intently to the person on the other end of the line, his expression growing more and more serious with each passing moment. Andrianne watched him curiously from the couch, wondering what could have possibly made him so tense.After a few minutes, Lucas hung up the phone and turned to Andrianne. "That was my business partner," he said, his voice grim. "There's been a break-in at our warehouse. A lot of our inventory has been stolen."Andrianne's eyes widened in shock. "Oh my god, that's terrible. What are you going to do?"Lucas rubbed his forehead wearily. "I don't know. We're still trying to figure out the full extent of the damage. But this is going to set us back a lot. We might even have to shut down for a while un

CHAPTER 34.Steve entered his room and closed the door behind him. The room was dimly lit, with a soft glow emanating from a small lamp on the bedside table. He walked over to his bed and sat down on the edge, taking a deep breath as he tried to shake off the thoughts of Andrianne that were still lingering in his mind.The room was spacious, with a king-sized bed taking up most of the space. The walls were painted in a soothing shade of blue, and there were a few black and white photographs hanging on the walls. A small wooden dresser was placed against the wall, and a closet stood in the corner.Steve looked around the room, taking in the familiar sights and sounds. He had been living in this room for a few months now, but it still felt foreign to him. He missed his old life, the one he had before he started working for Andrianne's father. He missed his friends, his family, and most of all, he missed Andrianne.He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind of a

CHAPTER 35.Meanwhile, Adrianne was in her bedroom, feeling frustrated and trapped. She knew she had no choice but to accept the bodyguard, but the thought of having someone following her around all day made her uneasy. She sighed, knowing she couldn't fight her father's decision.As she sat on her bed lost in thought, there was a knock on her door. "Adrianne, it's me," Lucas called out."Come in," she replied, straightening up.Lucas entered the room, a serious expression on his face. "We need to talk," he said, taking a seat beside her on the bed.Adrianne's heart started racing. "What is it?" she asked, her voice trembling.Lucas took a deep breath. "Your father is sending a bodyguard to keep you safe," he said, watching her closely for her reaction.Adrianne's eyes widened in shock. "What? Why?" she demanded.Lucas explained the situation, and despite her protests, Adrianne knew there was no way around it. "I understand," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "But I don't lik

CHAPTER 36.Andrianne followed Lucas back to their home, her mind still reeling from the revelation that Steve was now her bodyguard. She couldn't believe her father would send him, of all people, to protect her. As they entered the house, Steve greeted them with a warm smile, but Andrianne could see the twinkle in his eye as he exchanged a knowing look with her.Lucas seemed pleased with Steve's presence and even asked about his qualifications as a bodyguard. Andrianne sat in silence, unable to voice her thoughts or feelings about the situation. Steve explained that he had extensive training in martial arts and self-defense, as well as experience working in security.After the brief introduction, Steve escorted Andrianne to her room, assuring her that he would do everything in his power to protect her. As they walked, Andrianne couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She had so many questions for Steve, but she didn't know where to begin.When they arrived at her room, Steve stood

CHAPTER 37.Steve’s demeanor changed, and Andrianne could see the anger in his eyes as he glared at her. “You’re telling me that you’re married to that man? That you’re happy with him?” he asked, his voice low and menacing.Andrianne felt a twinge of fear in her chest but she held her ground. “I didn’t say I was happy,” she replied evenly. “But it’s not for you to question my life choices.”Steve took a step closer to her, towering over her small frame. “Andrianne, you can’t seriously expect me to believe that you’re happy in a loveless marriage. You deserve better than that.”Andrianne was taken aback by Steve’s words. She had never spoken to him about her marriage or her feelings towards Lucas. “How do you know it’s loveless?” she asked, trying to sound confident.Steve let out a bitter laugh. “It’s written all over your face. I know you, Andrianne. You can’t hide your emotions from me.”Andrianne felt a pang of sadness as she thought about the past. Steve had always been able to re

CHAPTER 38.The sun had set, and the sky was painted with hues of orange and pink, creating a serene and calming atmosphere. The cool breeze of the evening whispered gently against the leaves of the trees, creating a soft rustling sound. The night was young, and the world seemed to be at peace.In the midst of this tranquil environment, Andrianne found herself alone in her room, locked away from the world outside. She sat on her bed, staring blankly at the wall, lost in her thoughts.Her mind was in turmoil as she thought about what had happened earlier in the day. She couldn't believe that Steve had kissed her, and it had stirred up emotions within her that she thought were long buried. She was married to Lucas, and yet she couldn't help but feel conflicted about her feelings for Steve.Lucas returned home from the office with a bouquet of fresh flowers for Andrianne. As he got to the door, he saw Steve, Andrianne's new bodyguard, who was supposed to keep her safe while he was away.

CHAPTER 39.Andrianne's heart raced as she thought about the consequences of Steve being fired. She knew her father too well and his motives for hiring Steve in the first place. Her father was a powerful man, and she knew he had a lot of connections. She feared that if Steve was fired, her father would get someone else to replace him, someone who might not have her best interests at heart. Andrianne quickly came to her senses, realizing that having Steve as her bodyguard was her best chance at staying safe."Lucas, please don't fire Steve," Andrianne pleaded with him, her voice trembling slightly.Lucas looked at her with a mixture of concern and confusion. "Andrianne, I don't understand. You seemed so unhappy with Steve earlier. Why do you suddenly want him to stay?"Andrianne took a deep breath and tried to explain her fears to Lucas. "My father is a dangerous man. He hired Steve for a reason, and if he's fired, my father will just find someone else to replace him. I don't trust any

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
