Bella’s Pov Lucas hadn’t ran after me like I had thought he would. He had decided to stay at the restaurant longer and I only knew this because my driver had taken forever to come and get me. Lucas had chosen his friends over me. Had he came outside and done something romantic than I would’ve accepted his apology but he hadn’t even bothered to try. That’s how I knew this relationship was not worth it. I was meant to have a loving husband who made my life amazing. Not a husband who couldn’t even come and grovel. “We are here miss.” My driver stated as he pulled up towards the newly renovated steps. My father had decided to minimize the walk to his car and had replaced the long walkway with what looked like a shorter red clay walk way and red clay steps that lead up to our too big house. My father called it a mansion but that was just a fancy word for house with too many rooms. The driver got out of the car and went around to open up my door. I gave a tight smile as the door opened
Bella’s PovThe room felt like it got smaller as I made my way towards the door. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes but I refused to wipe them. I didn’t want Lucas to know that he had made my heart hurt. I didn’t want him to pretend anymore. I had thought my life was amazing and had loved all the attention I was receiving, never realizing that it was all just for show. I had assumed Lucas was just busy and that’s why we hardly spent any time together. I didn’t realize that this was a true loveless marriage. I was tricked and I didn’t want to think about how I had pranced around like a love sick puppy that was too happy to receive love and attention. “If you walk out of this office you will regret it.” My father warned me. My chest tightened as I looked down at the brown door knob. He would chose this exact moment to say that. I was basically out of the office already, in spirit at least. “I just want to go to my room.” I stated softly trying my hardest not to have my vo
Lucas’s PovI leaned back into my plush chair in annoyance. I had to be up for breakfast before Bella woke up but my father and Victor had to have called an emergency meeting at 2am in the morning. There was no way this meeting would end before five, my father would make sure of it. So I would have to go to breakfast with no sleep and try to pacify Bella the best I could. “How long until everyone gets here?” I asked as I looked around at the nearly empty board room? Only 3 other people had gotten here. One being Bethany’s father and the other two being random board members. There were at least 15 people missing. “They will be here soon, relax.” My father demanded in frustration. I grit my teeth as I pushed down what I wanted to say. The last thing I wanted was to start an argument with my father, it never ended well. “You will tell Bella that you couldn’t sleep because of nightmares.” Victor stated nonchalantly. My face fell as I looked at him in disbelief. “Nightmares?” I dead
Lucas’s Pov“So why did you call us here at this time of night?” Cameron’s father asked in annoyance. My father nor Victor said anything, they both skimmed through papers like this was an actual board meeting for the company. I lowered my eyes and bit the side of my bottom lip as I turned my focus to Cameron who was relaxing like he would rather be anywhere else. He was leaned back in his chair and looking around with disinterest. Disinterest that was only a cloak to prevent anyone from seeing that he was really observing them. He was more deceiving than a thief in the night. His whole personality was a fake persona and it was only to make people let their guard down. I had let my guard down in the past but I wouldn’t do it again. Every fiber in my body wanted to destroy him and his family business but the rational part of me knew that I couldn’t. If his father wasn’t the CEO of biggest shipping and receiving company in the world I would’ve done it with no problem. Unfortunately
Bella’s Pov A small peaceful smile was plastered on my lips as I gently rubbed the stubble around Lucas’s mouth. I loved the way it prickled my finger and the way he was so deep in sleep that he didn’t stir when I examined his face. I hadn’t even noticed how perfect his skin was until today. It wasn’t to shiny but it was smooth. His lips were full and every so often he would lick them. I had to stop myself from wiping off his lips because it just made him lick them again. His eye lashes were full and seemed to be the best feature on his face and I hadn’t even noticed it until today. If not for him being in a deep sleep I wouldn’t have been able to count them either. I had found out that his left eye had more eyelashes than his right one, so to help him out I plucked a few to make sure they were even. His eyebrows were impossible to count so instead I rubbed them around with my finger until I was satisfied with how they looked. I would have to remember to tell him that I liked hi
Bella’s Pov My chest tightened as I stared at the screen that no longer gave me joy. Instead it brought fear and paranoia. I had went from sunshine to darkness all because my mother wanted to try something different tonight. I had went from having an amazing morning and afternoon to this. “When will this movie get happy?” I asked as I watched the main characters husband pack his suitcase without even folding any of the clothes. “Not all movies have happy endings sweetheart. That’s not how life works.” My mom stated softly. I pressed my lips together as the wife barged in and took in the mess that had become of their room. Her husband hadn’t even bothered to be gentle with their things. He had thrown everything out of the drawers and had destroyed their closet. ‘What are you doing?’ The wife asked as she tried to grab his arm. The husband shrugged his arm away from her grip and zipped up both suit cases. “Leaving.” He mumbled as he grabbed the handles and walked out of their
Bella’s Pov (1 month later)I frowned as I looked at the fluffy red dress in the mirror. Red should’ve made my body look amazing but all it did was make me look younger than I was. I looked like I should be at the kids table and not the adults table with this dress on. When my father told me we would be going to a party today I couldn’t help but be gleeful. I just didn’t think that he would dress me like I was 8. I sometimes felt like since I lost my memories that he forgot that I would be 17 in less than a month. “This thing can’t be tamed.” I mumbled to my stylist as I tried to push the ball gown down. The forced smile she gave me told me that she could not help me. She had done an amazing job with my hair but that didn’t matter when my dress outshined it. “The bodice fits you perfectly at least.” She pointed out sounding more apologetic than anything. I could only huff as I took two steps back. I lifted up the soft material and did a bow to see how I would look. “Beautiful.”
Bella’s PovI had to be glowing right now because I felt like I was. The smile that was plastered on my face started to hurt a little but no matter how hard I tried to get it to go away I couldn’t. The night was just too amazing for me to not smile. Lucas’s arms made me feel as safe as my warm covers at night and I couldn’t help but stay relaxed in his embrace. Even as I had my head on his chest he still moved Iike he was one with his mind and body. He twirled us around and had everyone looking at us in awe. Everyone most likely thought I was an excellent dancer thanks to the long dress and I loved it. How he was able to dance with me on his feet made no sense but I wouldn’t question it because I felt like this brought us closer than if he was to teach me how to dance. “We should have a party every weekend.” I murmured gleefully as I looked into Lucas’s hooded eyes. His movements slowed down as he smirked a little causing me to blush. “Every weekend?” He asked seeming more surpr
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?”
