Bella’s Pov I could only lazily look at the short black dress that Janet had brought up for me before I was closing my eyes and burying my head back into my pillow. How could Lucas think I would go to this party after everything he had done to me? I was basically useless right now and unless he planned on carrying me everywhere he would have to go alone. He had ordered me to get dressed since I didn’t want take a shower with him but what he didn’t realize was that I didn’t plan on going. I may have hummed in a fake agreement but that didn’t mean I would really do it. I glance at the bathroom and pursed my lips. I didn’t even have to see inside the bathroom to know that he would soon be coming out. The shower had been turned off for awhile so I could only assume that he was putting on the clean outfit that Janet had brought him. I was surprised when she had handed him a black long sleeved button up and some simple jeans. I had assumed because of the elegant short black dress I w
Bella’s Pov The dress I had on felt too short and tight but Lucas had brushed it off and insisted that I looked amazing. So with reluctance I accepted his arm and allowed him to walk us down the narrow stairs. The loud chattering as we descended the stairs had me frowning instantly. I didn’t feel like talking, my body was tired and I preferred to stay in bed over going to a party. I wanted to complain that I didn’t want to be around people right now but I went against it knowing that Lucas had not been himself today. He had been controlling and uncaring about my feelings all day and I knew that if I even made the smallest of a complaint that he would not react how I wanted him to. The last thing I needed was for him to embarrass me or try to take me back upstairs. I internally showed my annoyance as the cold steps had me wanting to run back to the bed. Unfortunately Lucas’s threat had me obediently walking with him. “Mr. Connery and Mrs. Connery.” Someone at the bottom of th
Lucas’s PovI looked over at Bella right as she looked at the chip she was holding and shoved it into her mouth. A small smirk formed on my face as I leaned over. “Was the chip good?” I asked in a low and seductive tone. She glanced over at me with her rosy cheeks and wide eyes causing the beast within me to stir. Her eyes fluttered a few times as she looked down at her bowl meekly. “They are good.” She murmured as she grabbed another chip and dipped it into the taco meat and cheese I set up for her. “I can tell.” I replied as I leaned in and gave her a kiss on the head. Her personality was all over the place and I could only blame all the times we erased her memories. At that thought I reluctantly looked over at Robert and Danny who just so happened to join the party even though they were told not to not come. Bella disliked them and the last thing I needed was for her to overreact again. “So how has marriage life been so far?” A female that I forgot name asked. Her rosy cheeks
Lucas’s Pov I sighed as I glanced over at Bella and watched as she looked at her cards and hummed loudly. Clearly she had drank too much and the alcohol was slowly starting to pull her into a drunken state She slowly rocked side to side as she watched as they made side bets for the next turn. Thousands of dollars on whether or not sally would have a card to play. Bella kept looking at her cards than looking up like she was concentrating or trying to create a strategy. If not for her horrible game play I would actually think that she was coming up with the perfect strategy. Unfortunately she was clueless on what to do. “Okay the bets are over.” Lenny said as he pushed the money to the side. Bella’s eyes went wide as she looked down at her hand and grabbed a card. “I’m going to win this time.” Bella screamed as she lifted up her arm and threw a king on the table. My brows furrowed because it was clearly not her turn and she couldn’t play a king of hearts. Everyone froze fro
Bella’s Pov Everyone was chatting away and seemed extremely excited and I could only smile brightly as I looked at all the crazy foods that were on the table. Everything from pizza with what looked like fish and olives on it to a bowl of dark red sauce with a black chip in it. The food combinations were endless and so was the different types of drinks and I loved it. “This is going to be fun.” I whispered as I looked over at the waiters that were bringing in different colored crates that had hundreds of different colored envelopes in them. “Let’s hope the dares are good.” A guy grumbled loudly. I glanced at the guy but instantly looked away when he leaned in and kissed the girl that was on his lap. “Are they all food dares?” The girl on the guys lap ask with a high pitched voice that had my brows furrowing. What other type of dares could there be? “They have all types of dares. My assistant helped set it up.” Lucas stated as he grabbed one of the crates and brought it closer.
Bella’s Pov “Dr. Hickory.” Lucas mumbled causing me to furrow my brows. “It doesn’t say that.” I knew what Dr. Hickory’s name looked like and it definitely wasn’t this. “His first name is Rupert.” Lucas explained lowly. I paled even more as I looked over at Dr. Hickory who was now smirking at me like this was somehow funny. “Why is he even here?” I couldn’t help but ask in frustration. I clearly wasn’t going to kiss him. Why was this even a dare? “Because he’s my guest.” Lucas stated sternly. “But he’s old and my doctor.” I mumbled in anger. “You have to kiss your doctor.” Someone blurted out causing dread to fill me. I didn’t care that Dr. hickory was looking at me with a murderous gaze, I refused to kiss him ever. “I don’t want to.” I stated in defiance. I refused to ever kiss Dr. Hickory even if he wasn’t ugly. I couldn’t stand him, especially because even after I fired him he was still here. “Bella if you don’t do this than you’ll have to do a punishment.” Danny explained
Lucas’s Pov The anger radiating off of Bella was tangible and I could only groan internally because I knew the punishment that we came up with would have her acting up. I just didn’t have time to deal with Robert and his never ending problems. So instead of arguing with them I let it play out and now I had to deal with my immature wife. “Baby it’s not how you think, I don’t care about Monica.” I stated in exhaustion. “Let me go now.” She demanded forcefully refusing to listen to reason. She kept twisting and turning every way possible with no luck in breaking free of my hold. “Baby you aren’t stronger then me.” I deadpanned. Instead of stopping she grabbed ahold of my hands and scratched them. “Relax now.” I gnashed out as she dug her nails into my hands. It seemed like I would have to have Janet take her to get them trimmed. “Not until you let me go.” She exclaimed forcefully. “I’m not letting you go until you calm down.” I declared. “We are no longer married. So let me lea
Bella’s Pov I knew everyone was looking at my bright face and that only helped to fuel my nervousness. Why did they have all these ridiculous dares and why did everyone have to watch? Still I refused to miss out on the fun just because of my husband having to kiss me. “I don’t get why I can’t just eat the ice cream without kissing you.” I mumbled as I shimmied off of Lucas who had conveniently let go of my waist. “They would be no fun.” He murmured as I stood up. I tried not to allow myself to be shy as I awkwardly reached for the ice cream. I didn’t have it in me to walk and grab the ice cream. “Here.” A guy said as he grabbed the bowl and handed it towards me. My brows furrowed as the heat from the bowl brought warmth to my arms nearly instantly. I hadn’t even realized I was cold until now. “Let me help you.” Lucas’s deep and hypnotic voice sounded right as my waist was grabbed and I was pulled back into his lap. The warmth of his body hit me instantly but it wasn’t enough t
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?”
