Bella’s POV ‘Baby do you want me to stop?’ Lucas’s voice sounded through the head phones that they had forced me to wear. In return making my chest tighten even more as my resolve slowly slipped away. I had efficiently made it through every picture without speaking a word just for them to decide that it wasn’t enough and to add the second batch of pictures. Still even as I stared at him as he looked at another woman I didn’t speak. His soft smile as he looked at her with a flirtatious gaze from across the room may have made my chest tighten but that’s all it would do. When I made no move to react the screen changed again. “No.” I whispered as a small whimper left me as I stared into Lucas’s smothered green eyes that let me broken and at his soft smile that wasn’t directed towards me. “It’s suppose to be pictures. ” I mumbled as I watched him grab ahold of Monica and bring her into his chest. The way his gaze held her captive had my heart breaking. “We realized pictures weren’t w
Bella’s PovI gently kissed Lucas’s chest as he laid out naked on the bed. The feel of his smooth tanned skin was amazing. I couldn’t help but blush as his hand went to my hair and gently rubbed it. “See baby, that wasn’t so hard now was it?” He asked as he gently moved my hair from the side of my face. My brows furrowed as I looked up at him in confusion. “Was this suppose to be hard?” I asked not understanding why he would say that. His smile only got bigger as he leaned over and kissed me with his soft lips that felt amazing. When he pulled his lips away from mine I was quick to climb back on top of him causing him to furrow his brows as he looked at me. “Baby what are you doing?” He asked as he grabbed ahold of my back and pulled me in closer. I opened up my mouth to speak but any words I wanted to say got lost as I stared into his green eyes. “I see you can’t get enough of me.” He murmured as his hands went up my back causing a tingling sensation to consume me. When I staye
Lucas’s Pov I looked at the paper with a grim expression on my face as I slowly drank the coffee that Janet had brought me. “It seems like the world has taken part in pretending like Monica is Bella.” I stated wryly as I stared at the picture of Monica smiling as she shopped. “Yes it seems so.” He stated lowly. “It doesn’t seem like she’s taken me being Bella’s husband to heart.” I exclaimed in announce. “Relax, Bella is recovering now and once she wakes up everything will go back to normal.” Danny mumbled as he reached forward and grabbed a donut out of the box Janet brought in. He took a bite of it with no regard causing me to glance up at him with hooded eyes as a sigh left me as I closed the paper. “It only took a little under two weeks.” I stated as I rubbed my forehead. He gave me a pointed look as he grabbed the paper and brought it in front of him. “You are always over dramatic.” He stated as he looked down at the paper. “What it’s the truth.” I stated in annoyance
Lucas’s Pov “We have to order Bella’s dress today.” Danny stated after hours of there being nothing but silence. I was surprised that they even stayed in my office with how tangible the tension was after I made myself clear. “Here look at these.” Danny said. I figured he would want to get my mind elsewhere but I refused to pay any of them any mind. When I made no move to look up from my laptop that I was typing away on he pushed a tablet towards me. “It needs to be ordered now so that it can fit her perfectly.” He exclaimed in annoyance. A sigh left me as I lazily looked over at the tablet that had a yellow spaghetti strapped dress showing on the screen. One of my brows raised as i scrunched up my nose the hideous thing that looked more like something for the outdoors in the spring. Danny leaned forward and started to swipe over before I could voice my disapproval. A black dress that looked more like something for a club than a fundraiser came up causing me to slowly look at h
Bella’s Pov I lazily laid my head against Lucas’s chest as he typed away on his computer. “Do you want anything to eat?” Janet his assistant asked as she brought a cart of food towards the desk. I just looked at all the snacks and back up at her in silence. She gave me a smile as she stared at me intently. The attention had me fidgeting so I turned my attention towards her bleach blonde hair that had black or maybe brown showing at the roots. I lifted up my hand and gently grabbed some of my hair that was black and lifted it up so I could look at it better. It was really soft and shiny unlike hers. I wanted to ask if I could touch her hair but went against it. I slowly turned towards the female that looked like me and furrowed my brows. I didn’t know who she was but I could only assume that she was related to me since she was in my husband’s office. Even if for some reason I didn’t like her. The girl reached forward and grabbed a few sandwiches with a smile on her face as her
Lucas’s Pov As I observed Bella I knew that it worked. She knew how to function properly and knew who I was even without any of her past memories so that meant that everything that I had imbedded into her mind was stuck. I didn’t know for how long it would stay like this for but from the looks of it It wouldn’t be long since Robert couldn’t get ahold on Monica. The anger in Roberts eyes told me that he realized the same thing. It hadn’t even been a day and his sister was causing problems because of her jealousy. “I want to go to the fundraiser too.” Monica complained from the side. I raised a brow at Robert as he took a deep breath. His gaze locked onto me and the anger that swirled in them had me shaking my head in exasperation. “I told you.” I grumbled as I gave him a knowing look. His eyes narrowed as he looked at me with a deadly gaze that should’ve been turned towards his sister. “Did you not here me?” Monica asked in frustration. Roberts jaw locked as he took a deep br
Bethany’s Pov (3 days later) “This was sudden.” I whispered as I watched Adams pack up a suit case. He looked up at me with a forced smile. I knew that he wanted to stay and it was killing him to leave me but we needed the money. “It will only be a little over a week.” He stated with a soft smile. A sigh left me as I plopped down on the bed. “I just wanted to spend some time with you.” I mumbled as I leaned against his suit case and looked up at him in awe. He looked at me with a smile that could light up the darkest part of the world and leaned in and gave me a kiss. “I’ll be back soon, the client that I work for just asked me to come earlier.” He whispered against my lips. A hint of bananas hit my lips making me subconsciously lick them. He chuckled as he pulled back. “What time are you leaving?” I asked as I grabbed one of his shirts and helped to fold it. I set the shirt on top of his neatly folded clothes and looked up at him in expectation. He ignored my question and
Bella’s Pov A soft sigh left me as I watched as Lucas talked on the phone as he wrote down whatever was being said to him. He had been on the phone for awhile now and I couldn’t help but groan internally. He stared down at the notepad as his brows furrowed because of whatever was said to him. Had it been someone else’s phone I would’ve probably been able hear what the person on the phone was saying since I had become accustomed to listening in when the maids made calls for me. Unfortunately his phone seemed to not go far as the maids. “Mhm, I understand but I will be out of the office for the next two weeks.” He stated as he wrote something else down. I leaned forward and looked at whatever he had wrote not really understanding the numbers and random letters. I could only assume they were either time or places. A loud ticking noise had me looked over with furrowed brows. Multiple ticking sounds had me scowling as I look at the little trinket that seemed to actually be a clock.
