Lucas’s Pov I reluctantly looked at Penelope and the way her eyes sparkled had me on the verge of walking out of this office. I refused to be with her and no contract would change that. “Of course.” She stated softly as her eyes never left me. “See. Penelope can marry Cameron while being Lucas’s mistress on the side.” Aaron stated confidently. “That would solidify our partnerships even more.” Russell added not seeming against the idea. I looked at Cameron and the smirk that he made towards me said it all. “I’m okay with that.” Cameron stated as he stared at me in a challenge. A huge smile formed on my face because he thought he had gotten what he wanted and had cornered me into a corner. “So what do you say?” My father asked me. I closed my eyes as I asked myself why I was even here. I was the most powerful one in this room and could just leave and accept a lose in revenue. I had everything but that’s right Victor had no common sense and because of that he had to erase Bella’s

Liam’s Pov “What do you mean she no longer has her memories?” My father asked as he looked up from the documents he was reading. I looked around the living room not really wanting to talk about it in here just in case prying ears were listening “Relax only the maids are here.” My father stated like that would make me feel any better. My mother looked up from her cup of tea with a glum expression on her face. She pulled her feet closer to my father who didn’t seem pleased that she had her feet on his custom made leather couch. Paying no attention to my father she delicately set the white piece of china down as she stared at me in pity. I already knew where this was going and all I could do was let her speak. “Liam hunny, you have to stop this and move on because it’s not healthy.” She pleaded gently. I narrowed my eyes as I sat down across from them in the brown leather chair. A maid came forward and set a cup of coffee down that I would not be indulging in. “I know what I

Lucas’s Pov A small smirk played on my lips as I raised an eyebrow at all of the colorful boxes and bags that had been brought into my office by my lovely wife. “I only have a few more.” Bella huffed as she brought another handful of bags into my office and set them down. I looked at the little walk way and chuckled. At least she made sure to left me a path to get out. She seemed like she was out of breath and looked flushed from all the running back and forth as she walked in with a huge box that had me furrowing my brows. “Did you buy the whole store?” I asked as I closed my laptop and set my elbow on my desk. She looked at me with a pout as she set it down. “I bought things from multiple stores.” She stated defiantly. A small smile formed as I stared into her eyes. She was too determined to show me all the clothes that she bought so instead of staying and entertaining me she was turning back around with a purpose. “You know you’ll have to take everything to our room?” I a

Bella’s Pov (3 days later) I gave a small pout as I set my fork down and looked over at Lucas. “Can you atleast tell me what’s wrong?” I asked in frustration. He looked at me with his glumly eyes before looking back down at his soup that he had not touched. A curse left me as I waved the made over. She was quick to scurry my way and bow her head. “Get him something else.” I ordered in frustration. She gave a slight nod and went towards the kitchen without a word. I looked at Lucas’s furrowed brows as he stirred his soup and felt flustered. I had thought that a vegetable soup would make him feel better but now instead of being silent, he was playing with his food and not touching it. “Can’t you at least tell me what’s wrong?” I asked in frustration. He had not spoken since the meeting he went to. I had assumed that something had happened so I allowed him his space but now that it had been three days and he hadn’t talked yet I couldn’t take it. When he still didn’t say anything I

Bella’s Pov My hold on Lucas’s hand got tighter as we walked past all of glass windows that had colorful writing all over them. The flickering lights didn’t help with my nerves that were ready to implode any second now. The soft click of my heels seemed to echo through the deserted building that I didn’t feel safe in. “Maybe I should’ve stayed home.” I whispered as my hands got clammy. If not for fear I would’ve wiped them off on my gorgeous dress that didn’t seem appropriate now that I seen where we were going. Had I known that we would be coming her I wouldn’t have picked the silver dress. I had been excited and couldn’t wait to come to a meeting just to lose all my excitement when I looked up at the abandoned building that we pulled up to. It looked like the building would fall over at any moment with all of the broken windows and missing pieces. I was surprised that Lucas even allowed me to come here. “What if we get robbed?” I whispered as I leaned more into Lucas. His
