Bethany’s Pov (3 days later) “This was sudden.” I whispered as I watched Adams pack up a suit case. He looked up at me with a forced smile. I knew that he wanted to stay and it was killing him to leave me but we needed the money. “It will only be a little over a week.” He stated with a soft smile. A sigh left me as I plopped down on the bed. “I just wanted to spend some time with you.” I mumbled as I leaned against his suit case and looked up at him in awe. He looked at me with a smile that could light up the darkest part of the world and leaned in and gave me a kiss. “I’ll be back soon, the client that I work for just asked me to come earlier.” He whispered against my lips. A hint of bananas hit my lips making me subconsciously lick them. He chuckled as he pulled back. “What time are you leaving?” I asked as I grabbed one of his shirts and helped to fold it. I set the shirt on top of his neatly folded clothes and looked up at him in expectation. He ignored my question and
Bella’s Pov A soft sigh left me as I watched as Lucas talked on the phone as he wrote down whatever was being said to him. He had been on the phone for awhile now and I couldn’t help but groan internally. He stared down at the notepad as his brows furrowed because of whatever was said to him. Had it been someone else’s phone I would’ve probably been able hear what the person on the phone was saying since I had become accustomed to listening in when the maids made calls for me. Unfortunately his phone seemed to not go far as the maids. “Mhm, I understand but I will be out of the office for the next two weeks.” He stated as he wrote something else down. I leaned forward and looked at whatever he had wrote not really understanding the numbers and random letters. I could only assume they were either time or places. A loud ticking noise had me looked over with furrowed brows. Multiple ticking sounds had me scowling as I look at the little trinket that seemed to actually be a clock.
Lucas’s Pov “You know she’s going to still want you fired?” I asked as I looked at Robert with a raised brow. He had erased her memories like he was getting a new hair style and it had me a little worried that that would be his go to every time she did something that he didn’t like. “I know that. I just needed to even out her hormones.” He stated in annoyance. “Her hormones?” I inquired with a raised brow. “Yes. I took a blood sample when she first came to my office and the results just came back.” He explained as he rubbed his face. “That explains her attitude.” Danny mumbled. “She’s always had an attitude.” Theodore stated as he moved the hair from her face. “She should be without an attitude when she wakes up.” Robert explained as he reached over and opened up her mouth. “Won’t she realize something is off?” I asked. “If she does you’ll just wave it off and pretend like it’s normal behavior.” Robert replied as he put something in her mouth. “I don’t see how this will work
Bella’s Pov “Why didn’t you wake me up?” I mumbled as I stared out of the jet window in awe. I had never seen anything as beautiful as everything that I was looking at right now. The vibrant green grass that looked like it stretched far away was mesmerizing and what looked like a river that was off to the side had me pushing my face more into the window. “You should’ve waked me.” I continued as I watched us fly over the river. “We didn’t want to disturb your slumber.” Danny stated in a clipped tone. I pursed my lips as reluctantly I looked over at him and the doctor. “I thought I fired you this morning?” I asked in instantly. Either I fired Dr. Hickory in my mind or he assumed that I wouldn’t speak to Lucas about getting a better doctor. I reached into my pocket and stiffened at the empty contents. I looked down and opened up my pockets just to confirm that it was empty. “The card.” I mumbled as I pushed my hand back into my pocket like it would magically reappear if I tried
Bella’s Pov “Stop.” I cried as I tried to move my head away from Lucas’s hand that wouldn’t stop rubbing my hair. For some reason after he had kissed me like he needed me to breath he had nudged my head against his chest. His continuous stroke of my hair had me feeling flustered. It didn’t hurt but it made it impossible for me to look around the jet because whenever I tried to lift my head he was pushing it back down and rubbing my hair more. “Relax.” He whispered against my hair. I furrowed my brows as I stared at the window that I could no longer look out. “I want to look outside.” I complained as I tried to wiggle away from him. “Once we get there you can explore, now relax.” He ordered sternly.“Actually once we land you have to go straight to the resort for multiple conference calls.” Janet stated from my side. My eyes narrowed as I looked at Lucas in frustration. A small smirk formed as he licked his lips and causing glanced at Janet. I wanted to reach up and rub the stub
Bella’s Pov A small smile formed as I climbed out of the car. “It’s beautiful.” I whispered as I looked at the huge beach resort that we would be staying at for the next two weeks. The resort was bigger than any building I had ever seen before. It was like 10 times as long as our company. The pearly white and black trimming of the building almost seemed out of place if not for the clouds and the mountain that were in the distance. “How is there snow on that mountain but not here?” I asked. I furrowed my brows and looked at the mountain that clearly had a lot of snow on it. I looked up at the sky and stared at all the blue that should’ve had at least a few clouds blocking it. I didn’t have to look behind me to know that the sky was clear above the ocean. The beach was what I paid attention to as we drove down the curvy road that lead the the resort. My arm was grabbed and Lucas was guiding me forward not answering my question which was okay. I would find out everything I nee
Bella’s Pov I couldn’t help but feel like a pampered prisoner as I gently moved my legs through the water. I held the railing on the side of the indoor pool that was somehow in our suite and allowed my body to float out a little.“This is unfair.” I mumbled as I pushed myself away from the edge. I floated forward as I kicked my feet a little not really remembering how to swim. I was at least lucky that Lucas had taken the time to give me floaties to keep me from sinking to the bottom. He had at first tried to give me a tour but the stubborn part inside of me had refused. If not for him listing off what I could do during my time locked away I would’ve never known about the pool. “I think this is totally fair.” A super sweet voice sang from the side causing me to look behind me. Monica was standing by the pool with her hand on her hip as she stared down at me with a sly smile. “Why are you here?” I couldn’t help but ask as I narrowed my eyes at her. This was our suite and she was w
Bella’s PovA small smile was plastered on my lips as I allowed my feet to wiggle in the sand. The coolness of it as I pushed my feet deeper brought a sense of comfort to my body. The constant swish of the waves brought a sense of peace that had me loving this moment. I looked across the wooden table at Lucas and couldn’t help but blush as he leaned forward a little. “You aren’t eating.” He pointed out as he pointed his fork that had a piece of meat on it towards me. I couldn’t remember for the life of me the name of the meat that he had ordered. “I am not really hungry.” I murmured as I pulled my feet out of the sand with a sigh. “Eat.” He ordered even though I clearly stated I wasn’t hungry. “Now.” He added when I made no move to eat. A scowl formed as I looked down at the fruit salad that he had picked out for me. It had everything from mangos to grapes all covered with Carmel drizzle. Had I not been so memorized by everything around me than maybe I would’ve had a bigger appe
Lucas's pov "Is she finally asleep?" Theodore asked as soon as I walked into the pool room. "Yes." I said as I sat down on a chair next to Robert. "It took long enough." Theodore complained in a clipped tone. " She just wanted to watch another movie." I said as I stood up and walked over to the mini fridge that was next to a mini bar. "You could've said no." Theodore muttered. I ignored him and grabbed myself a sprite. "As long as she's without her memories, Lucas will be the perfect husband." Robert said or more like threatened. His deadly tone reminded me that this wasn't a fun vacation. "Get me a coke." Robert said as I sat down. I groaned internally and gave a tight-lipped smile as I stood back up. I was quick to grab a coke and turned towards Theodore. "Did you want something? "Yea, get me a water." He said. "Okay. I mumbled as I grabbed the water. I walked up to Robert and handed him his drink. "Thanks." Robert said, which was surprising. "No problem." I sa
Bella’s Pov My eyes narrowed as I looked at my doctor who had clearly lied about my sister going home. She had told him that she would stop being different for Lucas and me and now she could stay for some reason. “Did you already pick the movie?” He asked when he noticed me staring. “Lucas did.” I murmured as I looked over at Lucas and narrowed my eyes even more because he was suppose to be watching a movie with me but instead he was on his laptop doing work. “Are we not watching a movie?” I asked as my brows furrowed. “After I’m done.” He murmured as he continued to type away on his laptop. “You have been working for hours.” I stated as I glanced at the screen that had all kinds of documents spread around. He clicked on one of the screens and it switched places with another causing me to become confused. I didn’t understand anything he was doing so I could only look back at him in frustration.“Can’t you do that later?” I asked as he stared intently at the screen. “Relax.” H
Lucas’s Pov The irritation I felt as I glanced at Theodore was tangible. We had decided that we would keep it simple and make sure that Monica was pacified along with Bella but for some reason Theodore had seemed to have forgotten. “Don’t you guys have a prenup?” Robert added to the conversion. My brows furrowed as I looked at him with a questioning gaze. If not for Bella and Monica I would’ve asked both of them what they were doing because it seemed like they were trying to sabotage my marriage again. We had clearly agreed to make it seem like Monica didn’t get hardly any inheritance and that’s why she married Theodore but for some reason they were both being reckless. “No we don’t have a prenup.” Theodore stated confidently. I internally chuckled as I forced myself to look at Bella. “Didn’t I say to eat?” I asked as I grabbed one of the deviled egg with the fork and brought it up to her lips. She looked down at the egg and over at me with a meek expression on her face. I
Bella’s Pov “You can sit next to me.” My doctor said nearly instantly. The way my sisters face morphed to one of pure anger had me confused and annoyed. “But I want to sit here.” She said as she looked back at Lucas. “Why do you keep looking at my husband?” I couldn’t help but ask as I narrowed my own eyes. She clearly had her own husband but acted like she didn’t. She didn’t even treat him like he was her husband. Lucas told me it’s because she didn’t remember him but that didn’t matter because I didn’t remember Lucas and I didn’t act like her. Monica looked at me and frowned clearly not liking that I asked her that question. “I can look at him.” She retorted with an attitude that had me pursing my lips together.“I said eat.” Lucas murmured as he leaned in closer to me. I looked at him through my lashes and blushed a little as he stared at me with a stern gaze. “But she keeps looking at you.” I couldn’t help but say. “Is her looking at me hurting you?” He asked lowly. “Yes.”
Bella’s Pov I watched as Lucas put different kinds of food on my plate. “What’s that?” I asked as he grabbed what looked like a boiled age but cut in half. I had had boiled eyes with my soup yesterday and I couldn’t lie and say that it wasn’t delicious. “A deviled egg.” Lucas stated as he put it next to the cut up pieces of steak and bread. “A deviled egg.” I murmured to myself. “Yes.” He murmured as he grabbed some rice. “Is it good?” I couldn’t help but ask as I leaned closer into him. “Yes.” He stated confidently. “What are you guys doing?” A female asked from behind me before I could ask more questions. I looked over my shoulder and narrowed my eyes as Monica and my uncle walked up to us. My uncle Theodore was walking causally next to my sister which had me furrowing my brows. “Why are you here?” I asked in annoyance. My uncle gave a smile while my sister only rolled her eyes. “I decided to take your sister down for something to eat.” My uncle Theodore stated. I gave
Bella’s Pov (3 days later) I tightened my hold on Lucas’s hand and stared at all the people that were walking around in pretty dresses. Lucas had told me that there would be no more than a couple of people but from what I could see there was at least 100 people walking around. I used my free hand to tug on the black dress that Lucas had me wear. He told me that black was my favorite color dress but after looking at all of the colorful dresses that scattered the room I could almost guarantee he was lying. “Next time I want to wear a yellow and purple dress.” I stated as I realized that my two favorite colors were them. “Yellow and purple?” He asked sounding surprised. “Yes. I like them colors and nobody seems to be wearing one of them colors.” I said as I looked around one more time. “That’s because then colors don’t go well together.” He stated in a matter of fact tone. Had I had my memories I would’ve argued with him but since I wasn’t sure if he was lying I could only pur
Bella’s Pov I stared at Lucas in confusion not understanding how even though he could make me blush I didn’t remember him at all. I couldn’t lie and say that he wasn’t handsome. He had a charm to him that I thought was perfect and I could only assume that’s why we married. When he looked up at me from his food a small smirk formed on his lips. He gently wiped his mouth off with his napkin and smirked as he licked his lips. “So do you like your food?” He asked as he looked down at my chicken lettuce wrap and back up at me with a raised brow and a smile. My cheeks brightened as I looked back down at my plate that I had forgotten about. I hadn’t even realized that I was staring at him for so long. He was the definition of perfect and I could only grab my food quickly and take a big bite. Eating was better than talking. Especially since he caused butterflies to attack me every time he talked or looked at me. How had I ended up with someone so perfect? “So I take it that it’s good
Lucas’s Pov I tried not to react as Bella looked at me from across the table. She was suppose to still be sleep but somehow she was awake and now staring at me with a questioning gaze. “Why, why don’t I remember anything again?” She asked as she grabbed her iced tea and slowly drank it. I gave a forced smile as I looked at Robert for the answer because I wanted to know the same thing. She was suppose to know who I was but for some reason she woke up and remembered nothing. Robert who had been silent the whole time bared his teeth as he looked down at the papers that one of his workers brought to him when she had woke up. “It seems like the accident you got into has given you amnesia.” He forced out through the anger that seemed to be brewing slowly. “Amnesia?” She asked in confusion as she set her glass down delicately. “Yes, it seems like you lost all your memories because of the accident.” He ground out. I didn’t have to ask him if he was upset because it was clear as day t
Penelope’s Pov “Enough.” He yelled loudly. The shock that my mother had was quickly replaced by anger. “Don’t tell at our daughter.” She screamed back at him. “Shut up, I am done with Penelope’s obsession over Lucas. Lucas is married and what he does with Bella is his business and if she can’t understand that than I will disown her.” He said with so much aggression that I knew he wasn’t joking. His words had me paling as they slowly settled it. “You’ll disown me because of Lucas?” I couldn’t help but ask as I took a deep breath and grabbed at my chest. My father was suppose to love me but instead he planned on disowning me for Lucas. “No, I’ll disown you because of your obsession that is ruining this family not because of Lucas.” He exclaimed with narrowed eyes. “I am not obsessed.” I stated defensively. Even though I knew that the love I had for Lucas had passed being normal I refused to admit that I was wrong. “Really than why do you care about what he does with his wife?”
