Bella’s PovThe loud breakfast hall as I would have liked to call it was crowded with people dressed to perfection. You would think that they were here for a business meeting instead of lunch that consisted of breakfast. Most of the woman that were walking around had on the finest cocktail dresses and the men had on everything from suits to ironed dress shirts and pants. My bright yellow sundress kind of seemed out of place with all of the sophisticated outfits that everyone had on. It felt like I was the only one that was here for lunch while everyone else was here to mingle and talk. “Why didn’t you warn me there would be so many people.” I mumbled to Lucas as I leaned more into him. I couldn’t lie and say that I wasn’t horrified. The loud chatter going around and the people that were constantly coming up to us had me feeling flustered. “Mr. Connery what a pleasure to see you again.” A lady purred from the side of us. I looked over towards her and narrowed my eyes that her cl
Bella’s Pov“Don’t move or you will regret it.” Dr. Hickory declared as the man that was in front of me pulled out a needle. I would’ve never thought that Dr. Hickory was this shady. I knew he was not the best brain doctor but I didn’t see him as a thug. Threatening a woman with a big buff guy in a suit seemed below him. The man that had the needle in his hands seemed to be almost emotionless. His eyes seemed to be a black hole and his posture was a little of the rough side. He seemed like he should be a security guard somewhere shady. I looked at all the witnesses that were clearly watching this mess unfold and narrowed my eyes. “Is nobody going to help me with these thugs?” I asked in frustration. Clearly they were thugs and unless everyone in here was a thug someone should’ve already called for help. I knew I couldn’t ask Lucas for help because he had hired these thugs. The man that was holding the needle actually chuckled like being called a thug was the most hilarious thin
Lucas’s PovThe anger I felt as I walked back into the event hall was tangible. Everything was going perfect and of course something had to have happened. Maybe if I would’ve acted faster this wouldn’t have happened but I had been baffled and had reacted late. “Mr. Connery, I I am so sorry.” Pete cried in a pleading tone that had me chuckling. How could he think that I would accept his apology when my wife tried to leave me? “Please you have to understand that I wasn’t thinking clearly.” He continued when I walked towards Janet. “We will no longer be considering a partnership with Mr. Kali.” I stated sternly as I got towards her. Janet’s eyes went wide before she was instantly nodding her head vigorously. “Mr. Connery you have to understand that it was a simple mistake.” Pete insisted as he grabbed my hand. I looked over at him and took in his sweaty forehead and flushed face and pulled my hand away in anger and disgust. “A simple mistake?” I asked as I raised my brow and smi
Bella’s Pov Even though I was angry at Lucas I couldn’t deny that the eggs and pie were amazing. Lucas had done an amazing job at making my plate because I would’ve never grabbed the pie. The pancakes were the only thing that I had yet to try and I could only smile as I grabbed my fork and grabbed a few. “They are soft.” I whispered softly as my fork went through with ease. Lucas had cut them for me so I had yet to truly know how soft they were. “They are suppose to be.” Lucas mumbled lowly. I hummed as I took a bite. Instantly my eyes widened as I realized just how amazing they were. I wanted to voice how much I loved them but could only sigh as they basically melted in my mouth. “So how do you like them?” Beatrice asked from across the table a little too loudly. I slowed my chewing m as I looked at her with a blank stare. Instead of saying anything I looked back at my food like she had not talked. My leg was grabbed and squeezed slightly by Lucas’s hand. “Be respectful.” H
Bella’s Pov A sigh left me as I stretched my legs out in the sand as I rested on my elbows and stared at Lucas as he glanced at me. The small smirk he made as we made eye contact had me blushing and him licking his lips as he spoke into the Bluetooth in his ear. If not his the way his seductive gaze changed instantly I would’ve almost forgot that he had a lot to do. Even though he had changed into a suit for some reason he didn’t look out of place. I think that’s why I had forgot that he was busy because he looked like a perfect model right now. He looked extremely handsome as he looked at a few workers and pointed towards the Yacht. Had I not been so bored as he talked about what needed to be done than maybe I would’ve helped him with bossing people around but he had bored me in no more than 5 minutes. All of the things he had told his assistant Janet to do had made me run back to our room and put on a bathing suit because I refused to work during our vacation. He had a
Bella’s Pov The anger I felt as I climbed on her and grabbed her hair only amplified as I felt how soft it was. “Let me go.” She screamed as I twirled her hair in my hand and pulled. Her scream only got louder as I pulled tighter. “Stop.” She demanded when I used her hair to lift up her head. My brows furrowed as I stared at her with a stern look. “Apologize to me.” I demanded as I grabbed her face the way Lucas always grabbed mine but tighter. The anger in her eyes as she made eye contact with me only had me pinching her cheeks more. “Get off of me now.” She screamed as she tried to push my legs off of of her arms. I looked down at her pinned legs and back at her with a scowl. “I said apologize to me now.” I ordered a little louder. “I didn’t do anything to you.” She cried as her face flushed and her cheeks puffed out. “You did, you are trying to steal my husband.” I exclaimed as I released her hair and grabbed a hand full of sand. “You said you don’t want him.” She exclaim
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 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?”
