Bella’s Pov “Let me go.” I cried as I tried to wiggle out of Lucas’s tight hold. His told tightened even more making it nearly impossible to move. He refused to listen to reason and leave when they clearly were blaming him for what they did. He wanted me to sit here while every single person tried to deceive us. “Relax.” He demanded in a deep and deadly voice that had me faltering. I stared at him with wide eyes as the anger that should’ve been focused at everyone else was focused at me. A small smile formed on his lips as he forced my chin up with his free hand. I tried to force my face out of his grip but all that did was force him to tighten his hold on me. “I don’t want to be here anymore.” I mumbled defiantly. He leaned in and gave me a bruising kiss that stole my breath away and had my heart fluttering. When he pulled back he looked at me with clouded eyes that had me flushing. “They can’t hurt us because we are more powerful than them, so you will relax and let me tak

Bella’s Pov I looked up at the huge building in front of me and took in all the glass. “Is the whole building made of glass?” I asked as Lucas closed the car door for me. It couldn’t take my eyes of the massive building. It would be impossible to have any privacy for the lower levels of the building because I could literally see every single person that was moving around or sitting at their desks. Was privacy not a thing here? “Your grandfather found a way to make weather resistant glass that can withstand anything. That’s what this building is made of.” Lucas stated as he grabbed my hand tightly and started to walk forward. “Oh.” I mumbled as I looked at the big glass double doors that had security guards on both sides. Anyone that walked up to the building had to show them something before being let in. I could only assume that it was a key card or name badge. I looked at Lucas and down at his suit jacket. There was no badge clipped onto it. I looked down at his pants and r

Bella’s Pov I stiffened as I took in the anger that was in my lawyers eyes. It was like he flipped a switch that had his emotions going hay wire because not even a second ago was he looking at me with soft and loving eyes.Any argument I had left within an instant because I could tell just by the way he was looking at me that he would not accept my defiance. I forced myself to look away from him and reluctantly looked back at the man that was now staring at me with pity. My eyes watered as the reality of the situation set in. I would never be able to travel and live my life to the fullest. I was destined to be nothing but Lucas’s wife. “I wish you would’ve contacted me earlier.” Danny said with a sigh after awhile of silence. “I assumed her father told you.” Lucas stated as he kissed my head. “He clearly didn’t otherwise I would’ve came and checked on her. It makes me think that something else happened.” Danny stated. My eyes narrowed as I realized that Lucas had done this t

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 “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
