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 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.

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

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

(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
