Bella’s Pov I could only lazily look at the short black dress that Janet had brought up for me before I was closing my eyes and burying my head back into my pillow. How could Lucas think I would go to this party after everything he had done to me? I was basically useless right now and unless he planned on carrying me everywhere he would have to go alone. He had ordered me to get dressed since I didn’t want take a shower with him but what he didn’t realize was that I didn’t plan on going. I may have hummed in a fake agreement but that didn’t mean I would really do it. I glance at the bathroom and pursed my lips. I didn’t even have to see inside the bathroom to know that he would soon be coming out. The shower had been turned off for awhile so I could only assume that he was putting on the clean outfit that Janet had brought him. I was surprised when she had handed him a black long sleeved button up and some simple jeans. I had assumed because of the elegant short black dress I w
Bella’s Pov The dress I had on felt too short and tight but Lucas had brushed it off and insisted that I looked amazing. So with reluctance I accepted his arm and allowed him to walk us down the narrow stairs. The loud chattering as we descended the stairs had me frowning instantly. I didn’t feel like talking, my body was tired and I preferred to stay in bed over going to a party. I wanted to complain that I didn’t want to be around people right now but I went against it knowing that Lucas had not been himself today. He had been controlling and uncaring about my feelings all day and I knew that if I even made the smallest of a complaint that he would not react how I wanted him to. The last thing I needed was for him to embarrass me or try to take me back upstairs. I internally showed my annoyance as the cold steps had me wanting to run back to the bed. Unfortunately Lucas’s threat had me obediently walking with him. “Mr. Connery and Mrs. Connery.” Someone at the bottom of th
Lucas’s PovI looked over at Bella right as she looked at the chip she was holding and shoved it into her mouth. A small smirk formed on my face as I leaned over. “Was the chip good?” I asked in a low and seductive tone. She glanced over at me with her rosy cheeks and wide eyes causing the beast within me to stir. Her eyes fluttered a few times as she looked down at her bowl meekly. “They are good.” She murmured as she grabbed another chip and dipped it into the taco meat and cheese I set up for her. “I can tell.” I replied as I leaned in and gave her a kiss on the head. Her personality was all over the place and I could only blame all the times we erased her memories. At that thought I reluctantly looked over at Robert and Danny who just so happened to join the party even though they were told not to not come. Bella disliked them and the last thing I needed was for her to overreact again. “So how has marriage life been so far?” A female that I forgot name asked. Her rosy cheeks
Lucas’s Pov I sighed as I glanced over at Bella and watched as she looked at her cards and hummed loudly. Clearly she had drank too much and the alcohol was slowly starting to pull her into a drunken state She slowly rocked side to side as she watched as they made side bets for the next turn. Thousands of dollars on whether or not sally would have a card to play. Bella kept looking at her cards than looking up like she was concentrating or trying to create a strategy. If not for her horrible game play I would actually think that she was coming up with the perfect strategy. Unfortunately she was clueless on what to do. “Okay the bets are over.” Lenny said as he pushed the money to the side. Bella’s eyes went wide as she looked down at her hand and grabbed a card. “I’m going to win this time.” Bella screamed as she lifted up her arm and threw a king on the table. My brows furrowed because it was clearly not her turn and she couldn’t play a king of hearts. Everyone froze fro
Bella’s Pov Everyone was chatting away and seemed extremely excited and I could only smile brightly as I looked at all the crazy foods that were on the table. Everything from pizza with what looked like fish and olives on it to a bowl of dark red sauce with a black chip in it. The food combinations were endless and so was the different types of drinks and I loved it. “This is going to be fun.” I whispered as I looked over at the waiters that were bringing in different colored crates that had hundreds of different colored envelopes in them. “Let’s hope the dares are good.” A guy grumbled loudly. I glanced at the guy but instantly looked away when he leaned in and kissed the girl that was on his lap. “Are they all food dares?” The girl on the guys lap ask with a high pitched voice that had my brows furrowing. What other type of dares could there be? “They have all types of dares. My assistant helped set it up.” Lucas stated as he grabbed one of the crates and brought it closer.
Bella’s Pov “Dr. Hickory.” Lucas mumbled causing me to furrow my brows. “It doesn’t say that.” I knew what Dr. Hickory’s name looked like and it definitely wasn’t this. “His first name is Rupert.” Lucas explained lowly. I paled even more as I looked over at Dr. Hickory who was now smirking at me like this was somehow funny. “Why is he even here?” I couldn’t help but ask in frustration. I clearly wasn’t going to kiss him. Why was this even a dare? “Because he’s my guest.” Lucas stated sternly. “But he’s old and my doctor.” I mumbled in anger. “You have to kiss your doctor.” Someone blurted out causing dread to fill me. I didn’t care that Dr. hickory was looking at me with a murderous gaze, I refused to kiss him ever. “I don’t want to.” I stated in defiance. I refused to ever kiss Dr. Hickory even if he wasn’t ugly. I couldn’t stand him, especially because even after I fired him he was still here. “Bella if you don’t do this than you’ll have to do a punishment.” Danny explained
Lucas’s Pov The anger radiating off of Bella was tangible and I could only groan internally because I knew the punishment that we came up with would have her acting up. I just didn’t have time to deal with Robert and his never ending problems. So instead of arguing with them I let it play out and now I had to deal with my immature wife. “Baby it’s not how you think, I don’t care about Monica.” I stated in exhaustion. “Let me go now.” She demanded forcefully refusing to listen to reason. She kept twisting and turning every way possible with no luck in breaking free of my hold. “Baby you aren’t stronger then me.” I deadpanned. Instead of stopping she grabbed ahold of my hands and scratched them. “Relax now.” I gnashed out as she dug her nails into my hands. It seemed like I would have to have Janet take her to get them trimmed. “Not until you let me go.” She exclaimed forcefully. “I’m not letting you go until you calm down.” I declared. “We are no longer married. So let me lea
Bella’s Pov I knew everyone was looking at my bright face and that only helped to fuel my nervousness. Why did they have all these ridiculous dares and why did everyone have to watch? Still I refused to miss out on the fun just because of my husband having to kiss me. “I don’t get why I can’t just eat the ice cream without kissing you.” I mumbled as I shimmied off of Lucas who had conveniently let go of my waist. “They would be no fun.” He murmured as I stood up. I tried not to allow myself to be shy as I awkwardly reached for the ice cream. I didn’t have it in me to walk and grab the ice cream. “Here.” A guy said as he grabbed the bowl and handed it towards me. My brows furrowed as the heat from the bowl brought warmth to my arms nearly instantly. I hadn’t even realized I was cold until now. “Let me help you.” Lucas’s deep and hypnotic voice sounded right as my waist was grabbed and I was pulled back into his lap. The warmth of his body hit me instantly but it wasn’t enough t
