Lucas’s Pov (a few days later) The conference room as I walked in was eerie silent. I didn’t have to look around to know that Victor had not yet arrived. Even though I wasn’t the one that called the meeting somehow my father and everyone else still acted like they were looking at a ghost. Whenever I looked at someone they quickly looked down and were busing themself with either their phone or some paperwork. It seemed like I had instilled feel in everyone here. When I got to my father he looked up at me with a forced smile. “How is everything going for you?” He asked as he looked back down towards his paperwork. I was silent as I sat down in my seat and turned my attention towards everyone that was sitting around the table. It seemed like everyone besides Victor and Bethany’s father were here yet. I already knew that Victor would be throwing his anger and resentment towards me as soon as he got here. He most likely regretted choosing me instead of someone else to marry Bella.
Bella’s Pov My brows furrowed as I shook the steel bars of the gate that was preventing me from being able to leave. After multiple attempts I looked over at the Guard that had his head hanging out of the guard shack. If not for the small light that was illuminating the gate I might have not been able to see him. “Open it now.” I screamed to him. All he did was just stare at me as he leaned back. The humor in his eyes didn’t go unnoticed and I would make sure that he was fired. “Miss can you please come back inside, I don’t want you to get a cold.” My butler begged again. I ignored him and instead tightened my hold on the bars as I looked at the guard with a deadly stare. “You will open up this gate right now if you want to be able to feed your family again.” I ordered him with my most stern and deadly tone I had inside of me. Even if I didn’t have that type of power I knew that he didn’t know that. He actually smiled at me like what I said was funny. Lucas most likely made him
Bella’s Pov “Tell the guard to open up the gate now.” I ordered my lawyer as I crossed my arms over my chest and narrowed my eyes. The anger I felt was only increasing because I had ordered our guard to open up the gate for over an hour just for him to completely ignore me. My lawyer wasn’t the one that paid them my husband was and that meant that he would listen to me. “I can’t do that.” Danny stated as he glared at me with a stern gaze. I returned the glare as a wry smile formed on my lips. “Than he is to be fired unless Lucas wants me to break up with him.” I stated confidently. Danny’s angry glare slowly went away as an actually smile formed on his lips as he looked into my eyes. His humorous smirk had the anger inside of me exploding and me yelling. “Do you want me to fire you too?” I had not thought about it until now but he was my lawyer which meant that I could fire him. “Actually scratch that you are fired.” I stated confidently.His smile only grew as he took a step
Bella’s Pov I narrowed my eyes as Danny put a home made tortilla into his mouth that my chef had made. He had really went to the kitchen and requested tortillas and home made salsa like he couldn’t just go to a restaurant and have someone else make them. His loud chomping as he smiled and stared at the tv had me about ready to explode. He had no manners, First he came into my house and ordered my staff around and than he chose a movie that I didn’t like like this was his house. “You know this is one of my favorite movies.” He stated as he threw another chip into my mouth. “I can tell.” I mumbled as I looked back at tv screen and cursed a few times. “Action movies are always my go to after a rough night at work.” He stated gleefully. I stayed silent because I knew he most likely knew that I preferred romances. I had hundreds of movies that were already paid for but still he decided to buy a movie that I would never watch again. “Do you and Lucas usually have movie nights?” He as
Bella’s Pov My maid ignored me completely and looked down at Lucas like he was the one that was paying her bills and not me. “What did I say?” I exclaimed in frustration. She looked at me with sympathetic eyes and back down at Lucas in fear. “You are dismissed.” Lucas declared as he slowly stood back up. His narrowed eyes and pursed lip had the maid paling. The frustration I felt as the maid scurried out of the theater had me screaming in anger. “Aaaaaa I want to break up.” The anger on his face slowly morphed to one of shock. “Break up?” He asked with a raised brow. My face got red as I looked away not wanting to look at his handsome face anymore. “Yes, you should leave.” I mumbled even though my heart was begging me to not be dumb. Danny sighed as he stood up and walked in front of me. He looked down at me with a disapproving gaze that had me more flustered than I already was. I looked away from him and towards the black wall that looked like it was made of velvet. I h
Lucas’s Pov I stared at the hole in the meeting room wall with a grim expression on my face. I could almost guarantee that if Danny wasn’t in the room that I would’ve had to defend myself. “How could you do this to us?” Penelope asked through a fake sob that had me turning towards her and narrowing my eyes. “I didn’t do anything to you.” I stated nonchalantly. “You ended our partnership.” She screamed at me in frustration. “You refused to take no for an answer.” I exclaimed with my own frustration. She blinked a few times as she stared at me through her watery eyes. “So you do this to us?” She asked hysterically. I leaned forward with narrowed eyes making sure that my words got through to her. “You make money off of me, I don’t make money off of you and it seemed like your father forgot that, I thought I would remind him.” She looked at me in shock as she took in my words. “We will lose billions.” She mumbled as she looked down at the table. “If I remember correctly your
Bella’s Pov The smile Lucas gave me as I walked towards him made this so much more worth it. Not even all the eyes that were watching me intently could ruin this moment. Lucas looked up at me with a smirk that had me blushing and looking down at the bag I was holding. “I got shrimp and pasta.” I stated meekly as I set it down on the table. “Shrimp and pasta?” He asked as he opened up the bag and pulled out the black to go box. I grabbed the seat next to him and pulled it closer. “Yea, there’s a place right around the corner.” I stated with a small smile as I sat down and scooted closer to the table. Lucas looked at me with furrowed brows as he opened up the box. “Is it fresh?” I grabbed my own box and pulled it out not bothering with the silverware since I had shrimp and chicken. “They gave us someone else’s order.” I mumbled as I opened up the lid and smiled bright. The chicken had a nice golden brown and seemed to be the crispiest chicken I’ve ever seen. “We should have o
Liam’s Pov I should’ve hated that they made Bella into a spoiled brat but I couldn’t. The only hope I had was Bella’s attitude because without her memories she was the perfect wife. “Bella relax, Lucas thought you meant you took someone’s food that they were eating, he didn’t realize that you got the food from the kitchen.” Danny sighed in exasperation. I could instantly tell by his fatherly gaze as he rolled his eyes at her that he would be no help. Lucas would never betray her unless he was tricked, and with Danny by his side I didn’t see that happening with ease. Danny most likely seen what I seen, the perfect husband that would make sure Bella didn’t turn out like Bethany. Bella gaze snapped towards Danny and what looked like confusion and embarrassment crossed her face as her cheeks tinted pink and her eyes glossed over. She took the back of her hand and wiped her eyes gently as she sniffled a little. “Why would I take the food someone was eating?” She asked as she looked
