Bella’s Pov Danny looked at me with a small smile that didn’t help relieve my anger. They were talking about me like I was not sitting right here and like I didn’t have a mind of my own. “You guys will not talk about me like I’m not here.” I stated before anyone could say another bad thing about me. The crazy stalker of mine looked at me with eyes that blazed with unadulterated anger that was uncalled for. I turned my attention away from him and looked down at the paper work that was in front of Lucas. I grabbed the packet and flipped through the pages not really bothering to read any of it since it was not really my cup of tea. My stalker seemed to think that I was actually taking interest in the documents because he was quick to throw his two cents at me like I was some business woman. “The modifications they are making goes against your grandfathers beliefs and against your own.” Before I could tell him I didn’t care he was standing up and walking to the white board that I
Bella’s Pov I tried to ignore the way Danny was looking at me and instead reluctantly listened to Liam talk about how deadly the device my grandfather created would become if I didn’t reverse my signature. “Millions of animals will die.” He stated as he started to draw little scribbles around each section. I pursed my lips together as I stared at what looked like two circles and a snake. “First the feline species will go extinct, along with polar bears and penguins.” He stated as he quickly drew around each section. I stared at what I could only assume was his version of a cat and frowned. It looked more like a snowman than anything. “That is theoretical, you have no substantial facts to back this up.” The man next to Cameron stated with narrowed eyes. Liam looked at him with a scowl that could kill and spoke gravelly. “Even with the facts in your face you still deny it.” I looked at the board that was just writing and over towards the man that had spoke. “Can you prove hi
Bethany’s Pov “Lily please come back inside, it’s getting cold.” My husband pleaded from the door of our small shack. Even though I wanted to ignore him I knew that he would come lay next to me until I decided to come back inside if I did. “Give me five more minutes.” I sighed as I blissfully looked at the stars in the midnight sky. Even though our small hut had the bare minimum in the inside the beach made up for what it lacked. “I’ll be back out with a blanket for us.” He stated as the screen door slammed against the rickety siding. I looked back at the brown screen in frustration. He hadn’t even waited to see if I wanted him to join me. All I seen was his receding broad back. I ignored the way his tanned skin looked shirtless and turned my attention back towards the sky. Adams may have been perfect in every aspect but that didn’t mean he wasn’t unbearable at times. Every time I decided I wanted to lay out on the sand alone or do anything alone he would try to join me. He w
Bethany’s Pov I smiled as Adams sleep peacefully, loving how warm he was. His arm was wrapped around me and his soft snores as he slept brought a weird sense of comfort to me that I never knew I needed. For over a year I slept alone in our queen size bed. I would always stay awake for hours listening to the howling of the wind at night or the way the window flaps would bang against our bedroom window. I would stay outside for as long as I could so I would be able to have a little peace. Peace I didn’t realize would come if I just had my husband sleep next to me. It was like as soon as he wrapped his arms around me all the weird noise’s disappeared and in return came the best sleep I’ve had since I came home. A knock on the door told me that our morning milk and fresh eggs had just arrived. Another knock followed when I didn’t answer causing me to grumble as I moved Adams arm from around my waist. I usually would’ve gotten up already to mend to the house before he cooked bre
Bella’s Pov (1 day earlier)The ride back home was silent and I appreciated it. I wanted to think and come up with what I would say to Lucas when we got home because he had to fix this because this wasn’t my problem. Liam had caused me a lot of stress and I wasn’t even the CEO of the company. I had been brought in on topics that I knew nothing about when all I wanted to do was see what Lucas was doing. “Did you want me to come in?” Lucas asked as we drove in front of our house. My head snapped towards him as I narrowed my eyes. “Why wouldn’t you come in?” I asked instantly. He looked at me in exasperation as he sighed and tightened his hands on the steering wheel. “I have to go back to the meeting to settle things.” He reluctantly explained like I should’ve known this already. I squinted my eyes at him as I tried to figure him out. He had hardly spoken at the meeting when he could’ve just settled it than. Did he not want to talk because of me? “So you didn’t want to talk b
Bella’s PovI gently dipped my thin paint brush into the orange and brought it up to the sunset I had created. I gently made light strokes so that the sky looked perfect and the color was just right. “You are making me look bad.” Lucas mumbled forcing my eyes back towards his drawing that looked like a colorful potato. Compared to Lucas’s painting mine was a masterpiece that could make millions. I looked over at him and a small giggle left my lips as I looked at all the paint that he got all over himself. He looked at me with a scowl that only made me smile. I pointed towards his eyebrow that had purple on it. “How did you get paint on your face?” I asked as I shook my head in disbelief. His brows knitted as he turned to the side and grabbed the soft towel that was suppose to be for our hands not our face and wiped his face. “Maybe you should stick to being a CEO.” I stated as I looked back towards my own painting again. A small content smile formed as my body relaxed completely
Bella’s Pov I crossed my arms as I stood next to Lucas with an attitude as I stared at the maid that was now taking multiple pictures of both paintings. Lucas had messed up my painting and instead of admitting his wrong he had forced his helpers to put both of our paintings on an auction site. “Did you have her post about it on social media?” He asked as his arm brought me closer to him. She looked back at him and nodded her head. She had an ear piece in her ear and was talking to Janet through the line. I don’t get why Lucas didn’t just do this himself. “I’ve sent them.” The maid stated I think to Janet and not Lucas but still he replied like she was talking to her. “Good. Once everything is set up I want to watch it.” The maid nodded as she turned around and took a picture of us. Every time she took a picture I had an angry expression which had more anger coursing through me. “Tell me next time you take a picture.” I screamed right as she took another picture of me while m
Bella’s Pov A groan left me as I looked at the names of candidates that Lucas’s assistant had given me. Multiple names were crossed off and still we had three sheets of people to go though. “You know you can go home anytime.” Lucas stated from the side of me causing me to turn and narrow my eyes at him. “I am the one doing the interviews.” I stated as I confidently lifted my chin up a little bit. “I know.” He stated wryly. I grit my teeth wishing I could kick him out but I knew I needed him. He had proven it when he had talked over me during the first interview and the lady had turned towards him like I had not just asked her a question. After I had dismissed her I knew I couldn’t kick him out even though he was angering me with every comment. “You know if you could just accept that they see me as the man of the house we wouldn’t be here all day.” He stated nonchalantly. I grit my teeth but still said nothing. He had enough maids that turned to him when I needed somethin
