Bella’s Pov I jolted awake as someone screamed loudly. “It’s burning my mouth.” A familiar voice cried dramatically causing my brows to furrow and me to slowly peel my eyes open. I had tried to ignore the noise because in my dream I had heard someone yelling and instead of waking up I stared at Lucas as he slowly took his shirt off as I laid out on the beach. Of course the screaming only got louder and had to ruin my dream. I had looked away from Lucas and before I knew it I was jolted awake. “Please help, I need water.” The female cried again. I eyed were a little crusty and seemed to be just as blurry from the slumber I was woken up from. I blinked my eyes and wiped off the crust as looked around the room at everyone that was staring at the same spot. I rubbed my eyes again and blinked a few times to help clear up the fog. “Next time keep your mouth shut.” Dr. Hickory ordered. A turned my attention towards him and furrowed my brows as Janet stared up at him in desperation
Bella’s Pov My eye went wide as I stared at Dr. Hickory as he put 4 spoons into the sauce without a care in the world. Were they actually eating the sauce with spoons? It took over 30 minutes just for my mouth to stop burning and that was with the help of Dr. Hickory and Lucas. The milk they gave me was far from enough because as the time went on it got worse. They had to give me everything from ice to lemons just for my mouth to slowly cool down.So I could only pity everyone that had to do this dare. Clearly the spoons that Dr. Hickory had provided told me that it was not going to just be a small taste. It was going to be so much worse and I was glad I didn’t have to be involved. “Are we really allowing this?” I asked Lucas as I looked at Janet who had collapsed against the wall and was now panting like she was a dog. She didn’t get any help from anyone and had to deal with the heat on her own. “Yes.” Lucas said lowly. I pursed my lips as Janet rubbed a towel over her face.
Bella’s Pov So as I looked at Lucas I decided it was best to speak my mind with all of the confidence that I could muster up. “If everyone wouldn’t cause so many problems in my life I would be happy all the time.” I stated confidently. A small smirk formed on his lips as he raised a brow. “Is that so?” He asked lowly. I don’t know whether he thought I was joking or not but I didn’t care. “Yes.” I stated confidently. “Than how about we go upstairs so I can make your life a little more enjoyable.” He murmured seductively. My face went slack as I stared into his smothered eyes that didn’t hold an ounce of humor in them. “Im still sore from earlier.” I mumbled in annoyance as I lifted my nose in a sigh of defiance. His brows jumped and a few chuckles and giggles went around the room that I ignored. “Anyways I want to watch them complete their dare.” I added as I looked at Dillion and Katy who had yet to eat their chip. They were just staring at the bowl of sauce like it would kill
Bellas Pov The emerald green dress that Lucas’s assistant left out for me was extremely elegant and had me feeling flustered. It showed a generous amount of cleavage and my upper back was showing. Lucas’s assistant had said that it was an Asymmetrical Neck, Backless Split Thigh Sequin Formal Dress that Lucas had custom made for me. I understood nothing she had said. I doubt that was even the way she said it. All I knew was that the full length dress had a split that started at my thigh and I couldn’t help but look in the mirror at my body and feel flustered.Lucas was nowhere in sight so I couldn’t ask him why I had to wear something so elegant and why we had to go to this cocktail party. I had thought that this would be a fun vacation but it seemed like Lucas would be working a lot and I would have to attend fancy dinners and parties instead of enjoying my time on the beach. He had promised me that I would enjoy myself on this vacation but it was starting to seem like that was
Bella’s Pov “We could’ve just stayed at the hotel.” I murmured as we walked into the party that was not indoors but outdoors. The cool breeze that occasionally swept through had me wanting to go back to the hotel even more. “Relax.” Lucas demanded in irritation as we walked past a few people dressed in suits that were quick to turn towards Lucas and greet him. “Mr. Connery it’s an honor to finally meet you in person.” A man said as he basically grabbed Lucas’s arm and tried to shake it off. “I am happy to make your acquaintance.” Lucas murmured lowly. I looked away from them and looked around at all of the people. We had spent two hours driving to this party that looked boring. The decorations were beautiful but other than that all it seemed like we could do here was talk and drink. There was a huge wooded platform that stretched far out but there was really no room to dance or play game. It had wooden tables set out perfectly and bright lights that shined the whole plat
Bella’s Pov I wasn’t surprised when silence filled the area around us. That’s why I had said what I said so loudly. I wanted to embarrass Lucas the same way he always did me. “But at least he feeds me and makes sure my needs are met. Who really needs happiness when they have a rich and controlling husband who could care less about anything but themselves?” I asked. “Your your food Mrs. Connery.” A waiter stuttered as they set my food down. “Look at that just on time.” I said as I looked over at Lucas mockingly l. “See he always makes sure I’m fed even when I would rather starve than eat.” I sang as I looked back at the food. I forced a huge smile on my face as I grabbed a small piece of sushi. Without paying anyone any mind I put the sushi into my mouth and smiled as I chewed it. I could only hold in the moan of satisfaction as all the flavors hit me at once. A loud bang had me furrowed my brows. “I’m so sick of having to hold my tongue for someone as ungrateful as you.” Mo
Bella’s Pov I had remained silent and could only force a smile on my face as a waiter brought me a new plate of food. This time Lucas had personally went and told them what to get me and it seemed like they got everything that he said. I silently looked down at the food hating that I felt like I was being held at gun point right now. Technically I was being held with the threat of losing my memories so I would say it was about the same. I looked at everyone who was now eating and couldn’t help but look away in frustration. There were multiple people that heard Lucas threaten me and nobody seemed to care. It was like they were all in on it which was insane. “Here try this.” Lucas murmured near my ear. I glanced over at his chop sticks that had some type of weird shaped white thing and reluctantly opened my mouth. “It’s a dumpling.” He whispered as he pushed it into my mouth. I didn’t complain when it overstuffed my mouth. Instead I looked away as I chewed. My cheeks were beyo
Lucas’s Pov “So did they make it home yet?” I asked with a raised brow as Robert set his phone on the table. The driver had left over two hours ago and I could only assume that the call Robert received was confirmation that the driver made it back to the hotel. Robert chuckled as he reached into his suit pocket. “Yes, she’s looking for the wallet right now.” He said as he pulled out the red wallet that he had stuffed into his inside pocket. A small smirk formed on my lips as I grabbed the wine glass I was given and took a small sip. “You know she’s going to be furious.” Danny grumbled lowly. “She’ll be looking for it all night.” I said as I smirked against the the glass. “Yea, she’s destroying the hotel room looking for it right now.” Robert mumbled as he rubbed his face. “Why, why did you take her wallet and not tell her?” A soft voice asked that had me looking over and smirking. I licked my lips as I leaned over and spoke for Robert. “Because we can’t have my wife running o
