Bella's Pov

Who would've thought that being locked in my room would be this peaceful. My father thought I would cave and be a good and obedient daughter. How horribly wrong he was because I planned to stay here until it was my yearly checkup.

I would tell my lawyer that they locked me in my room even though I did my part by marrying Lucas. Than I would see if I could get the marriage annulled while still having access to my money.

I would watch my grandfathers company burn to the ground because of my mother and father. I couldn't deny that if my mother would've listened to my grandfather and not have married my father, our lives would be better.

Yes I did have my grandfather to blame for me having to get married but that was besides the point. I knew he was trying to keep me safe and he never meant for this to happen. He would've protected me if he could’ve.

A knock on the door had me covering up my face with my covers and pretending to be asleep. The sound of the lock

  • Memories undone    To sleep

    Bella's Pov I knew that I would've been smarter had I went to a normal school. I always begged my mother to let me be normal. I had deserved to have friends but she refused. I was required to be homeschooled. She insisted that I could not trust anyone because all they would want is the power that I held. She never missed a moment to tell me how easy someone could deceive me. "You know it's never too late to take back your life. Fix what your mother broke." Lucas whispered near my ear causing me to shiver from the way his breath tickled the back of my ear. "What, what are you doing?" I stuttered as my waist was grabbed and I was pulled back into his firm chest. "Talking to you." He whispered near my ear. The intoxicating scent of his cologne almost had me relaxing into him. Luckily my resolve was stronger than his seduction. "I don't want to talk. You need to leave now." I demanded sternly. "You can go to school and experience all of the moments your mother stole from you."

  • Memories undone    By her 18th birthday

    Third person Pov The dimly lit conference room was silent except for the man who was typing away on his laptop. Minutes had went by as the short man looked over the results, making sure to double check everything so that he didn't make a mistake. He kept looking down at his note book and back towards his laptop with furrowed brows. "So?" Someone asked finally breaking the silence that had became deafening in this room full of powerful men. The man quickly fixed his glasses and looked up from his laptop with a pale expression on his face. All eyes were on him and he couldn't help but pull at his collar out of nervousness and fear. For over 8 years he had worked countless hours to find a way to be able to attack the brain of someone whose body would protect them. After thousands of failed attempts and countless sleepless nights he finally succeeded. He had assumed it would only be a one time thing but he had realized too late that the men he had worked for were on a mission.

  • Memories undone    Door

    Bella's Pov (5 months later) Tears streamed down my face as I stared at the door that was stuck. No matter what I did I couldn't figure out how to open it. I had pulled on what I assumed was the door handle but it did nothing even though I had pulled on it with all of my strength. I was starting to question if it was actually a door. I had woken up without any memories and if not for me somehow knowing words I would've been lost. I had spent a long time saying words out loud and putting them together. Now I was questioning if I was even saying the right words. I sat back down on the bed and stared at the door. It had to be a door. I looked over at what I assumed was the bathroom and furrowed my brows. "Knock." I whispered as I tried to remember what that word meant. "Knock on the door." I whispered as a sniffle left me. How did I knock? I knew how to walk because it required moving my legs. So walking was what I did to move. My chest tightened as confusion clouded my mind aga

  • Memories undone    Color

    Bella's Pov "It seems like Bella's accident has taken away all of her past memories ." The doctor stated as he held something in his hands. "I can remember words." I blurted out loud. All eyes turned towards me and I could only look away. Having others look at me wasn't pleasant. "Sweetheart knowing words doesn't help if you can't remember anything." The man who was supposedly my father stated. "Why can I remember how to talk but nothing else?" I asked as I turned to the man who's hair was a color I didn't remember. My eyes watered as I realized that I was more confused than earlier. "It seems like only certain parts of her brain didn't get affected. That being said we'll have to get her into therapy so she can relearn everything that she’s forgotten." The doctor stated confidently. "But I remember words. Shouldn't my memories come back?" I asked with what I could only assume was hope. The doctor stared at me with sad eyes that didn't help the fear “It’s not that simple.” He

  • Memories undone    Emotions

    Bella’s Pov (2 weeks later) “Bella are you listening?” The doctor that my father hired asked. I looked over at the card that he was holding and frowned. “That’s a car.” I mumbled as I looked at the picture that looked exactly like the black car my father drove us around in. The doctor gave a slight nod as he set the card down and pulled out another one. My chest tightened as a picture of some type of animal came up. Why were there so many animals? “It’s a raccoon.” I stated not really sure if I was right. I mean it looked like it could be a big raccoon. He narrowed his eyes at me as he reached over to the alphabetical picture box he had. He skimmed through it until he pulled out a card and turned it towards me. “This is a raccoon Bella.” He said through a sigh. I looked at the little animal that looked like it had black glasses on its eyes and frowned. He was grey and white and black. I looked over at the card of the animal that looked like a big dark brown raccoon and narrowed

  • Memories undone    Made me feel

    Bella’s Pov (three weeks later)! “We should’ve came here as soon as the doctor told us to.” I sighed as I ran my fingers over all of the colorful acrylic paints that were in one of the aisles of the art supply store. “It’s been a busy last few weeks, sweet heart.” My father stated behind me. I had become accustomed to my father and husband always having work to do. So I was grateful for the days we got to do things together I grabbed a green colored paint and threw it into the cart that my father was pushing, not bothering to ask if it was okay since I was told I could get whatever I wanted. “I know you have a lot of work to do.” I said as I grabbed a burgundy color and threw it into the cart. “We both do my love.” Lucas whispered near my ear. I was prepared for him to pull me back into his chest but when he didn’t I felt a little disappointed. I had became used to him always wanting to touch and kiss on me. Even without my memories he didn’t seem to care. I could tell he

  • Memories undone    Date

    Bella’s POV (one month later)“I don’t think I’m dressed for this.” I said lightly as we walked through the dimly lit restaurant. The simple pink dress that Lucas picked out for me to wear didn’t seem like it was appropriate. It was lose fitting and had big white buttons going up the front of it. It looked more like something I would wear to the mall maybe, not a fancy restaurant. “I think you look ravishing.” Lucas said as he pulled out my chair. I tried to give a smile but I could only assume it looked more like a grimace. These last few weeks I had hardly seen him and when I did the day never went how I thought it would. “If you say so.” I said as I sat down and put my hands on my lap. Even with just a black button down sweater, Lucas still looked like he belonged here. His dark jeans could pass for dress pants if you didn’t look close enough. All while I looked like my mother had dressed me. My chair was pushed in and Lucas walked around the table that seemed to be too long

  • Memories undone    Lost my appetite

    Bella’s Pov Lucas looked at me with hooded eyes. The annoyance in his gaze had me looking towards the window that was too far away. This was probably the worst spot to be at in this restaurant. Anything that could hold my attention was too far away. I had no where to lay my head at and nothing to look at unless I wanted to be nosy and stare at all the guests as they actually enjoyed their meals. “Next time we will go alone.” Lucas stated in a low tone that held a hint of anger in it. Why was he angry when they lied to me? “I don’t want to.” I stated as I turned back towards him. “You don’t want to?” He asked seeming surprised. “No.” I mumbled. I had held a lot of hope out for our marriage but every day made me a little bit more and more disappointed and now I didn’t think there was any redeeming it. It seemed like the night had turned awkward instantly because of my words. It wasn’t my fault that they lied to me and said this was a date and now I was starting to be in a su

  • Memories undone    sleep

    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

  • Memories undone    Movie

    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

  • Memories undone    You can’t do that

    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.”

  • Memories undone    Speak up

    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

  • Memories undone    Kind of ridiculous

    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

  • Memories undone    What my uncle said

    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

  • Memories undone    Questioning everything

    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

  • Memories undone    Win Lucas over

    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?”
