Bella’s Pov I couldn’t stop the huff that left me as I looked around the hotel living room that I had destroyed. I knew that Monica would most likely be upset that I had thrown everything on the floor but I couldn’t help it. I had spent a long time look for her wallet and couldn’t find it no matter how much I looked so I started to just throw everything onto the living room floor so that I didn’t miss it. “What is the meaning of this?” Someone asked causing me to spin around with wide eyes. My chest tightened and fear welled in my chest as I stared at Dr. Hickory and Lucas. Lucas’s gaze caught mine and I couldn’t help but panic as a sly smile formed. “What happened here?” My uncle Theodore asked as he walked in behind them along with Danny. The frustration I felt as I realized I had spent hours looking and still couldn’t find Monica’s wallet had me looking around in frustration. “It seems like Monica had some fun while we were out.” Danny sang as he walked over all of the mess
Bethany’s Pov (2 days later) I took a deep breath as I dialed the hotel number that Adams had gave me when he left. We had hardly spoke to each other for the last two days and I couldn’t wait to talk to him. The ring of the phone had me smiling and leaning more into the window. I knew he was always tired when I called but he had promised me that he would not be busy today and we could talk all day if I wanted. So I had purposely slept the whole day away just so I would be fully energized for when I called him. “Hello.” Adams grumbled in a groggy tone when the phone was finally picked up. I looked out at the dark sky over the sea with furrowed brows. “Did I wake you?” I asked as I I heard movement on the other line telling me that he had answered the phone half asleep. He said he would be up early today but now I was wondering if he said that to please me. “Did you want me to call you back another time?” I asked softly when all that came on the other line was movement from him
Lucas’s Pov “Did you already get the documents we needed?” I asked Robert as I took a bite of my shrimp Alfredo. “Yes, they will be delivered by Monday.” He said lowly. I gave a slight nod as I looked over at the documents that still needed Bella’s signature. Thanks to Monica we would be having to wait even longer for certain changes in the company. “Aren’t you worried that we will get them mixed up?” Theodore asked as he slurped some of his soup. I looked over at him and scrunched up my face as he drank from his bowl. “Just get some more.” I mumbled as I grabbed my napkin and wiped my face. I didn’t have to look around to know that mostly everyone was watching us right now and he was just making it worse. Robert looked at me and rolled his eyes as he grabbed a bread stick. “Relax, anyways Monica will have a tattoo on her shoulder and Bella will have a few hearts and butterflies.” He said as he bite into his breadstick like a savage. My brows furrowed because we didn’t agree
Lucas’s Pov “A felony?” I couldn’t help but ask. She pulled out more paperwork and pushed it towards me. “Yes, a few countries have made it where people will actually lose their citizenship if they post or speak anything about the truth.” She said as I grabbed the paperwork. I was even more surprised as I looked at all of the laws that were waiting for approval. Every one in a different country. “So than we shouldn’t have to worry.” Robert stated lowly. “Of course there will still be people that won’t care about the consequences. But as long as Lucas is smart we have nothing to worry about.” Janet stated confidently. I gave a slight nod of understanding as I skimmed through each law carefully. “Most people know that Bella’s happiness is important and won’t make problems for us.” Robert stated in a dismissive tone. “You mean like your sister?” I couldn’t help but ask as I looked at him with a raised brow. The scowl he turned my way only had me chuckling as I shook my head and
Bethany’s Pov I couldn’t contain my smile as I looked around the resort. It was nothing like our small hut and I couldn’t help but be gleeful knowing that I would get to stay here for the next few weeks. “I love it.” I murmured as I sat down on the brown sofa that had a huge tv in front of it. “I knew you would.” Adams murmured lowly. I looked over at him and couldn’t help but notice the bags under his eyes. “Maybe you should get some sleep.” I said softly. He only smiled at me as he sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around me. “How can I do that when my wife is here?” He asked lowly. My lips pursed as I looked at him with a stern gaze. “How do you plan on us enjoying ourselves when you are tired?” I couldn’t help but ask. “I don’t need sleep as long as you are here.” He declared in a groggy voice. Even though I wanted to argue I knew it would be pointless since all it would lead to us stress and Adams being even more stubborn. I would allow him to stay up and wait un
Lucas’s Pov (2 days later)“Are you sure this time will be the last?” I couldn’t help but ask Robert as I grabbed my toasted roast beef sandwich and took a bite of it. He chuckled as he stayed silent. I glanced up at him as I chewed slowly and of course he was paying more attention to his food than me. We had went over what was needed for hours yesterday and still I didn’t trust that this would work. It seemed like even when I was happy with Bella someone else had to ruin it. So either she wanted to go and explore the world or someone else wanted to cause me problems. I just couldn’t catch a break. “You need to relax.” Danny mumbled in annoyance. I narrowed my eyes as I looked at him in irritation. “It’s hard to relax when my wife’s memories have been erased numerous amounts of times.” I grumbled as I took another big bite of my sandwich. “We said relax, this time will be different.” Robert finally stated with a clipped tone. I groaned internally as I rubbed my face from irr
Penelope’s Pov “How is the world okay with this?” I asked as I threw the paper onto the living room couch next to my father. My father looked up from his laptop and over at the paper that had been delivered to my house. He only took a glance at it before sighing as he looked away from it like I was being ridiculous. “Sweetheart you need to let this go already, please.” He said in frustration. “Let it go?” I asked in frustration not understanding how my father was okay with this. “Yes Bella is Lucas’s wife, so I need you to get over this before we lose everything.” He said in exasperation. “But he keeps erasing her memories and that’s not fair. She doesn’t even want him.” I cried in frustration. How was it bad for me to be in love with him to the point where I drugged him but okay for him to continuously erase Bella’s memories? My father slowly looked up at me with a hard gaze that had me narrowing my eyes at him. “You can’t be okay with this, it’s not right.” I stated stubborn
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?”
