Lucas’s Pov Every single Elite needed me to stay with Bella and they all knew that. I didn’t need to stay with Bella and I definitely didn’t want to if it meant that I was to be controlled. I had finally got Victor and my father off my back and I refused to go back to being treated like a child. I was a CEO and a man who had a wife. I was the one that made orders not the other way around. I turned my attention towards Monica who was talking to Danny frantically as she rapidly looked back and forth to me and back to Danny again. I ignored the way they were looking at me and turned towards everyone. As I grabbed the microphone I knew that this would be it and I hated it but I had no choice. I couldn’t allow myself to become like Bella because than our lives would be unbearable. I brought the mic closer and cleared my throat as I started to speak. “I want to thank everyone that is here for coming tonight.” I said earning the attention of everyone. Danny started to walk over towar
Bella’s Pov Pain in my head had me whimpering and rolling over into something solid. I slowly opened my eyes and my heart got heavy as I looked at Lucas’s relaxed face. My brows furrowed as I touched the stumble on his face. I blinked a few times as I stared at my hand and twirled it around. As I slowly sat up I instantly went wide. I looked around at all the pink balloons and the huge banner that said happy birthday Bella and furrowed my brows. I didn’t remember any of this. I thought back to yesterday but all I remembered was waking up today. My face paled as I furrowed my brows as I concentrated. No matter how hard I tried to remember yesterday I couldn’t. I looked around and seen no door. How did I get here? I looked back at Lucas in confusion. Without much thought I was quickly shaking him. “Lucas, Lucas.” I pleaded but he didn’t move. His peaceful face stayed relaxed even as I shook him hard. It was like he had been given something that forced him into a deep slumbe
(Unknown Pov) It hadn’t even been a full 48 hours and Bella was already awake which told me her mind was still fragile form the last time and couldn’t fight off the operation like last time. Whatever they had created was advanced because it knew which part of the brain to attack. Which meant that they had kept this one at a hidden location because it was nothing like any of the other ones I seen. My brows furrowed as I hacked into Danny’s phone with ease and created a copy of his phone. I clicked on the video and fast forward through it not needing to watch it all since I had watched it all happen live. As soon as I got to the end I paled. Bella would think that Lucas divorced her because she was controlling and didn’t support him. His divorce speech was at the end and that alone would cause problems for them. Bella wouldn’t be able to survive this time around because they had found a way to make her love Lucas without having any memories which should’ve been impossible. I l
Bella’s Pov I stared blankly at Lucas’s dead body not being able to comprehend how this happened. “You killed him?” I whispered as I grabbed his shoulders and shook him one more time. “He is not dead.” My father lied with ease. I opened up his eye lid stared at his eyeball. I closed my eyes as he didn’t move at all.f “He’s just sleep Bella, he’ll be sleep for a few days.” Danny stated softly. I took a deep breath as I moved my hand. I realized that I may never see my husband again. They most likely had accidentally killed him and now they were just playing stupid until I went home. “How could you do this?” I whispered as I collapsed into him and held him like my life depended on it. “Bella you are going to have to let us carry him home, so you are going to have to get up.” Danny stated. “I’ll go with him.” I mumbled because if they thought they could throw him in the ocean they were wrong. I wouldn’t allow it. “Bella you are.” My fathers words were cut off as a loud blari
Bella’s Pov Lucas looked into my glazed eyes with a possessiveness that had me trying to look away from embarrassment. His hand went to my cheek and gently forced me to look back at him. “So beautiful.” He whispered as he dipped down and kissed me deeply. His already swollen lips from all the kissing had me gasping as they took me by surprise. As he pulled back a small smirk formed. “I love how shy and innocent you are.” He purred. My cheeks brightened as my already rosy cheeks got hotter from the way his deep and seductive tone made me feel. “I love how good you make me feel.” I whispered meekly as I basked in the warmth that was coming off of his body. What looked like regret flashed through his eyes as he stared at me causing my chest to tighten. When he closed his eyes with a sigh I knew what he was thinking instantly. “Please don’t leave me.” I pleaded as I looked at him in desperation. I didn’t want him to divorce me, I needed him. He took a deep breath as he opened hi
Bella’s Pov A grumble left me as I looked over at Lucas as he relaxed in the examination chair. He reached forward and tapped the monitor that was in front of him with ease. “I didn’t get my own monitor.” I mumbled to myself. I had someone that held any equipment that I had to touch and none of it looked like a computer screen. His test seemed to be longer than mine because we both started at the same time and he was still doing it even though I had been done awhile ago. When they said a physical I assumed it would be at a doctors office where we would have to see a doctor. Not at the company where we would have to do a whole bunch of painful tests that would take away all my energy. “Here.” Danny mumbled from the chair next to me. I looked over at him with narrowed eyes that I couldn’t hide now that I was annoyed because of being drained by a stupid test. He gestured with his eyes to his hand. I lazily looked down at the turkey sandwich he was holding and furrowed my brows n
Bella’s Pov The constant grumble of my stomach had Lucas’s gaze turning deadly. I couldn’t deny that he was angry because he had yet to look away from me which had me feeling flushed. He had went from occasionally glancing at me from time to time to not looking away once. “I didn’t do anything wrong, Danny did.” I mumbled in defiance as I looked back at the door. Danny nor the technician had came back which was refreshing and horrifying at the same time. I was scared that he was out preparing to erase my memories again. “You can’t trust Danny.” I stated as I looked back at him. I knew this was the only time I could talk to him and since he had no choice but to listen to me it was best that I warned him before they came back. “If that alarm had not went off they wouldn’t have woken you up.” I stated confidently not getting the reaction out of him that I wanted. He was just staring at me with a blank face that had me feeling frustrated. “I tried to wake up, I had shaken you l
Bella’s PovI looked at the door and huffed in annoyance. “It’s going to be night time by the time they come.” I complained as I stood up and walked to the phone again. I didn’t bother looking at Lucas’s scowl as I picked up the phone. I had had enough from him and his assistant. So I pushed the number 1 and waited for Janet to pick back up for the fifth time today. “You definitely need to fire her.” I mumbled as I listened for her. “Yes Bella?” Janet asked in exasperation right as the call connected. “I’m hungry.” I stated irritably. I didn’t bother asking her when the police were coming because I had finally realized that they weren’t coming. Lucas had used her to pacify me and it had worked for awhile. That’s why Lucas didn’t seem worried and had smiled wryly at me. He was mocking me for believing that his assistant would help me. “Oh, okay, what would you like to eat?” She asked in an instance. Her voice had a chirpiness that it had lacked when she first spoke. “Something
