Lucas’s Pov I didn’t bother caring because I had warned Danny but he had said that her being mad was no big deal. So instead of overreacting I ate my steak and eggs like nothing had happened. I mean it’s not like she could really burn down our house if she really wanted to. I doubt any of the kitchen staff would even let her near the kitchen now. Unlike the maids the kitchen staff wouldn’t accept Bella’s anger and would kick her out without another thought. A small chuckle left me as I looked at the maid that was standing still like she had been struck by lightening. Had the chef been out here he would’ve sent Bella to bed in a rage. “You can go home if you want.” I stated nonchalantly. The maid slowly looked at me with fear filled eyes that told me she wouldn’t make it here for a week. At least not while Bella was having a jealousy filled rampage. Instead of leaving like I thought she would she bent down and started to pick up the pancakes that Bella had smashed to the
Bella’s Pov I walked into the dining hall and everyone turned towards me in surprise. I ignored them as sat down at the other side of the table away from everyone. “I’m glad you decided to join us.” Danny stated causing me to involuntarily look at him. He smiled softly at me like me being here made his day. I ignored him and instead looked down at the white table cloth. I may have cooled down but that only was because I had locked myself away all day. I had time to meditate and think about my life in a way that I never had before. If not for my stomach pain that indicated that I needed to eat I would’ve never came down here. They didn’t realize the damage they caused and by the time they did it would be too late. Dishes were set in front of each of us and a few maids made their way around the table with tonight’s supper. My brows furrowed as they each carried a pot around instead of just setting the already made dish down like they always did. A maid walked up to me and set
Bella’s Pov The sound of birds chirping had me groaning as I stretched my arms in the air. My body felt sore and I didn’t have to open my eyes to know why. I had fallen asleep outside and it seemed like nobody brought me to bed like they usually did. I didn’t dwell on that and instead slowly opened my eyes and looked around at the morning sky. I would’ve loved to stay outside if not for the morning breeze that brought me goosebumps. I quickly stood up and instantly regretted it as a cramp in my leg had me nearly falling over. A huge breeze hit me that had me cursing as I stretched my leg out the best I could. As another strong breeze hit me I turned and ran towards the front door. How was it colder in the morning than at night? As I got closer to the front door I slowed down as I took all the black cars in that were in the yard and parked in the driveway. I slowly walked past each car that was in the grass and looked inside them. They didn’t have much in it and seemed clean a
Bella’s Pov The way Danny was just staring at me like I had taken away his will to breath had me shaking my head. “You can send Monica away because you already destroyed me so there’s no point in pretending like you care.” I stated as I turned to leave and ran straight into the burly man that had man handled me earlier. I looked up at him and felt flustered that instead of moving he turned and closed the door. A scream wanted to leave me as I turned back around and looked at Danny who was on the phone like we weren’t having a heated discussion. “I want to go to my room.” I demanded as I looked at Lucas instead in frustration. Lucas ignored me and looked at his thug and nodded like he was gesturing something with his head. Before I could react I was picked up by huge arms and carried to the chair to the left. “Let me go.” I screamed in anger as the thug walked up to it and forced me to sit down effortlessly. I had no time to prepare as he grabbed my hand and zip tied it to
Bella’s Pov “Are you sure it’s okay, I’m scared?” Monica asked dramatically. A smile formed as I looked over at the fluid that was almost gone. “Relax, she’s clearly trying to scare you.” Danny stated confidently. He probably still thought he was my grandfathers best friend and he couldn’t be any more wrong. A small beep from the heart monitor had me smiling to myself. The liquid was slowly attacking her heart and since she wasn’t an elite she wouldn’t be able to survive it. The heart monitor started to get louder and the commotion of everyone in the room was music to my ears. My grandfather was the most powerful man to live and they really thought they could out smart him and hurt me? The long beep indicating that her heart had stopped which had me looking back over at them in disinterest. Monica’s face was pale and she was completely unresponsive. It felt like looking at myself in the mirror and I hated it. They lifted her up and set her on the floor and started to do he
Bella’s PovI was exhausted and couldn’t keep my head up no matter how hard I tried. I was suppose to do the physical with a full stomach but they had put me through every single test without even a bite of food to hold me over. “Okay last one.” The man next to me said as my head was lifted up causing me to open up my eyes. The device he was holding tried to scan my eyes but because I had blinked it restarted. I furrowed my brows as I realized I forgot about this test. Even as my mind begged for me to let it rest I knew that this was the only opportunity to fight back. Each test had a time limit and the eye scan only gave me 3 minutes. My grandfather had purposely did it last because all the other tests could be forced while this one was the hardest because I had to willingly open up my eyes for it to work right. If I fought to close my eyes it wouldn’t scan but If I opened my eyes by choice it scanned within seconds. “Hurry up she only has 3 minutes from the time you start it.
(Unknown Pov) I grit my teeth as I watched as Danny opened up the office door and multiple elite doctors and scientists walked in. Danny wanted access to every single thing that Matt and I had created which only Bella could access and she didn’t even know it. I had done everything I could to make sure that what happened to Matt never happened to her. If Danny didn’t have so many connections I would’ve been able to take him out easily but because he had a good amount of elites backing him I had to stay hidden until I could get Bella out of there safely. The original plan was for Bella to marry Lucas as soon as she turned of age without any hiccups. I was to give her the part of the Will that Matt left me and the safety deposit key. Once she had watched the video her grandfather left her we would go into hiding and since I was the creator of the test I could give it to her every year with no problems. That way she was safe and never had to worry about anyone using her. Unfortu
Lucas’s Pov (1 day later) As I walked into my office I casually glance at Monica. Her meek expression as she crossed her exposed legs had me internally groaning. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to know that she wanted me. Every lust filled glance didn’t go unnoticed. Not to mention the things she said to Bella when she thought that she could replace her. ‘I had known that there was no way they could trick the test and that’s why I was staring at Bella the whole time. Her humorous gaze as she stared at Monica had me holding in my smirk. I was actually surprised that she had been willing to allow Monica to die. Even more surprised that she was going to allow all power to go out. When she had smirked wryly as she looked away as they continued even though Monica almost died I instantly knew that something was going to happen. So I wrote Danny and told him to not rush it just in case because Bella’s grandfather might have made precautions. The anger in his eyes as he looked ove
