Bella’s Pov The way Danny was just staring at me like I had taken away his will to breath had me shaking my head. “You can send Monica away because you already destroyed me so there’s no point in pretending like you care.” I stated as I turned to leave and ran straight into the burly man that had man handled me earlier. I looked up at him and felt flustered that instead of moving he turned and closed the door. A scream wanted to leave me as I turned back around and looked at Danny who was on the phone like we weren’t having a heated discussion. “I want to go to my room.” I demanded as I looked at Lucas instead in frustration. Lucas ignored me and looked at his thug and nodded like he was gesturing something with his head. Before I could react I was picked up by huge arms and carried to the chair to the left. “Let me go.” I screamed in anger as the thug walked up to it and forced me to sit down effortlessly. I had no time to prepare as he grabbed my hand and zip tied it to
Bella’s Pov “Are you sure it’s okay, I’m scared?” Monica asked dramatically. A smile formed as I looked over at the fluid that was almost gone. “Relax, she’s clearly trying to scare you.” Danny stated confidently. He probably still thought he was my grandfathers best friend and he couldn’t be any more wrong. A small beep from the heart monitor had me smiling to myself. The liquid was slowly attacking her heart and since she wasn’t an elite she wouldn’t be able to survive it. The heart monitor started to get louder and the commotion of everyone in the room was music to my ears. My grandfather was the most powerful man to live and they really thought they could out smart him and hurt me? The long beep indicating that her heart had stopped which had me looking back over at them in disinterest. Monica’s face was pale and she was completely unresponsive. It felt like looking at myself in the mirror and I hated it. They lifted her up and set her on the floor and started to do he
Bella’s PovI was exhausted and couldn’t keep my head up no matter how hard I tried. I was suppose to do the physical with a full stomach but they had put me through every single test without even a bite of food to hold me over. “Okay last one.” The man next to me said as my head was lifted up causing me to open up my eyes. The device he was holding tried to scan my eyes but because I had blinked it restarted. I furrowed my brows as I realized I forgot about this test. Even as my mind begged for me to let it rest I knew that this was the only opportunity to fight back. Each test had a time limit and the eye scan only gave me 3 minutes. My grandfather had purposely did it last because all the other tests could be forced while this one was the hardest because I had to willingly open up my eyes for it to work right. If I fought to close my eyes it wouldn’t scan but If I opened my eyes by choice it scanned within seconds. “Hurry up she only has 3 minutes from the time you start it.
(Unknown Pov) I grit my teeth as I watched as Danny opened up the office door and multiple elite doctors and scientists walked in. Danny wanted access to every single thing that Matt and I had created which only Bella could access and she didn’t even know it. I had done everything I could to make sure that what happened to Matt never happened to her. If Danny didn’t have so many connections I would’ve been able to take him out easily but because he had a good amount of elites backing him I had to stay hidden until I could get Bella out of there safely. The original plan was for Bella to marry Lucas as soon as she turned of age without any hiccups. I was to give her the part of the Will that Matt left me and the safety deposit key. Once she had watched the video her grandfather left her we would go into hiding and since I was the creator of the test I could give it to her every year with no problems. That way she was safe and never had to worry about anyone using her. Unfortu
Lucas’s Pov (1 day later) As I walked into my office I casually glance at Monica. Her meek expression as she crossed her exposed legs had me internally groaning. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to know that she wanted me. Every lust filled glance didn’t go unnoticed. Not to mention the things she said to Bella when she thought that she could replace her. ‘I had known that there was no way they could trick the test and that’s why I was staring at Bella the whole time. Her humorous gaze as she stared at Monica had me holding in my smirk. I was actually surprised that she had been willing to allow Monica to die. Even more surprised that she was going to allow all power to go out. When she had smirked wryly as she looked away as they continued even though Monica almost died I instantly knew that something was going to happen. So I wrote Danny and told him to not rush it just in case because Bella’s grandfather might have made precautions. The anger in his eyes as he looked ove
Lucas’s Pov “Rule number one, if you touch me too much I’m divorcing Bella.” I stated as I walked past her and grabbed my suit jacket from my butler. I shook it out a little before I put it on. “Lucas.” Danny hissed in anger. I ignored him and continued. “Rule number two, if you try to kiss me I’ll divorce Bella.” I declared as I smoothed out my tie. “You have to kiss her, how will it look if you don’t?” Danny roared angrily. I narrowed my eyes as I looked at him. “You can go with her instead.” I suggested. He took a deep breath as his face brightened from anger. When he said nothing I continued. “Rule number three, if you try to drug me, Ill divorce Bella.” Her silence told me she was listening and if she wasn’t she would regret it. “Rule number four, if I drink and you try anything I’ll divorce Bella.” I stated as I turned towards her and looked at her black hair that she had cut and curled. Her blue contacts seemed to match Bella’s eyes but the one problem was her nose. Hers
Lucas’s Pov Every single Elite needed me to stay with Bella and they all knew that. I didn’t need to stay with Bella and I definitely didn’t want to if it meant that I was to be controlled. I had finally got Victor and my father off my back and I refused to go back to being treated like a child. I was a CEO and a man who had a wife. I was the one that made orders not the other way around. I turned my attention towards Monica who was talking to Danny frantically as she rapidly looked back and forth to me and back to Danny again. I ignored the way they were looking at me and turned towards everyone. As I grabbed the microphone I knew that this would be it and I hated it but I had no choice. I couldn’t allow myself to become like Bella because than our lives would be unbearable. I brought the mic closer and cleared my throat as I started to speak. “I want to thank everyone that is here for coming tonight.” I said earning the attention of everyone. Danny started to walk over towar
Bella’s Pov Pain in my head had me whimpering and rolling over into something solid. I slowly opened my eyes and my heart got heavy as I looked at Lucas’s relaxed face. My brows furrowed as I touched the stumble on his face. I blinked a few times as I stared at my hand and twirled it around. As I slowly sat up I instantly went wide. I looked around at all the pink balloons and the huge banner that said happy birthday Bella and furrowed my brows. I didn’t remember any of this. I thought back to yesterday but all I remembered was waking up today. My face paled as I furrowed my brows as I concentrated. No matter how hard I tried to remember yesterday I couldn’t. I looked around and seen no door. How did I get here? I looked back at Lucas in confusion. Without much thought I was quickly shaking him. “Lucas, Lucas.” I pleaded but he didn’t move. His peaceful face stayed relaxed even as I shook him hard. It was like he had been given something that forced him into a deep slumbe
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?”
