Elevator. 109
CH 109Andrianne felt a pang of anxiety in her chest as she drove up the long, winding driveway to Lucas's mansion. It had been several days since she had left, and the fear of the unknown had been gnawing at her ever since. She needed to see Lucas, to know that he was okay, and to check on Emily as well. However, as she pulled up to the house, she noticed that Emily's car was nowhere to be found.Her heart began to race as she parked her car and made her way up to the front door. She hesitated for a moment before finally knocking. She waited anxiously, but no one answered. She tried the doorknob, and to her surprise, the door was unlocked. She pushed it open slowly, calling out Lucas's name as she stepped inside.The house was quiet, and Andrianne felt a chill run down her spine. She made her way through the foyer and into the living room, but there was no one there. She searched the rest of the first floor, but it was empty. She then climbed the stairs, calling out Lucas's name once

CH 110Andrianne's heart was racing as she approached Lucas's room with his medication. It had been two weeks since she decided to stay with him until he regained his memory, and every day had been a struggle. Seeing him every day, yet him not remembering anything about their past together, had been heartbreaking for Andrianne.As she entered his room, she saw Lucas sitting on the bed, looking out of the window. He turned his head as she entered and gave her a small smile."Good morning, Andrianne," he said softly."Good morning, Lucas," she replied, trying to keep her voice steady.Andrianne walked over to his bedside and placed the medication on the table next to his bed."How are you feeling this morning?" she asked, hoping to make small talk."I'm feeling okay, thanks for asking," he replied.There was a moment of silence between them before Lucas spoke up again."Andrianne, can I ask you something?" he said hesitantly."Of course," she replied, turning to face him."Have we ever

Elevator. Chapter 1.
CHAPTER ONE.It began as a whispering in the air, the rain. The day was beautiful and the sky was a dome of plasma blue, the clouds looked like airy anvils drifting under the gleaming disc of the sun. A petite lady with long blonde hair and a face that looked like beauty itself looked out the hospital window in the reception hall, star struck by the beauty of nature. The sky darkened as she watched and soon the tapping on the window was heard and then it became a pitter patter.People ran for cover outside and umbrellas were opened as the clouds spat out their beads of water. Puddles began forming as the rainfall became heavier. The Rain danced upon the roof of cars and she could hear the murmuring of the rain through the window. It sounded like the buzzing of angry bees.“Ma’am you can come in now,” someone said from behind, tapping her on the shoulder softly. She turned with a tight smile."Thank you."Clutching her bag, she followed the nurse into ward B."You have fifteen minutes
Elevator. Chapter 2.
A long leg clad in black trousers and a gleaming black shoe stopped the elevator from closing fully. A muscular toned man stepped in, clad in a white dress shirt that was tucked neatly in his trousers and matched with a black coat. His eyes met mine and I fought the urge to swallow nothing. His handsomeness was beyond this earth, no… he was beautiful. Beautiful was the perfect word to describe this enigma right in my presence.He moved to the other end of the elevator, his green eyes scrutinizing me. His hair seemed disheveled as if he had run his hand through it multiple times which made me wonder how it would feel if I ran my hands through them.I shook my head and looked away but I found myself stealing glances at him, multiple glances that became too obvious. We could both feel it, the tension. This strange man suddenly seemed to have piqued my interest and I guess I had also peaked his. He was so handsome and beautiful at the same time. His height was life threatening, he was 6’3
Elevator. Chapter 3.
“I think what he wanted to say was that he wants to marry you...” It felt like a loud ringing echoed in my head as my mother's words kept repeating themselves over and over. No, it can’t be true, it wasn’t possible. No man would want to marry a lady they met in an elevator for the first time. It just wasn’t possible.“Mum, that can’t be possible,” I said in disbelief, not wanting to think about it.“Nothing is impossible dear,” my mum said in a stern voice. Then laughed loudly, "that was a joke, Anna. Did you really fall for it? That's such a random conclusion!"She laughed even more. I frowned. Did I actually take her seriously?"I thought you were serious. I felt so scared," I muttered, not finding it funny.Her laughter receded, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up that sour topic.""It's okay, mum but… but mum, I don’t want to get married yet, especially to someone that I met in an elevator. I do not know anything about him in fact, I can’t accept it” I said panicking.“Is that
Elevator. Chapter 4.
“You are getting married…"Those words echoed in my head like a broken record, ringing in my ears as I stared at my father in shock. It felt like I was in a dream, a dream I wished to be woken up from. I was beyond shocked at my father’s words and even worse, he said it with so much ease like it wasn’t a big deal.“What do you mean I’m getting married?” I queried, fighting off annoyance.“Well, a very wealthy billionaire came for your hand in marriage and I couldn’t refuse,” he answered, focused on the files he was working on.“I mean, the offer was a hearty one," he looked up long enough to shoot me an irritating grin, "so technically, you are betrothed to him. Your opinions are not needed as you would be going on a dinner date with him tomorrow. Get to know him before the wedding preparation begins,” he said with a wide smile.“But dad I do not want to get married to anyone yet!” I cried out, tears pricking at the corner of my eyes.“I said your opinions are not needed, you are gett
Elevator. Chapter 5
The last thing on my mind was to marry someone I don't love. To marry someone I was not meant to be committed to. Lucas Shaul. That name sucks! It irritates me at its peak. Not to mention he is someone like my father. All my life, I had always dreamt to marry someone I love. Someone who won't act like a stranger to me but now, today, I would be meeting him. I knew my father was offered something in exchange for me to marry Lucas. I don't even know him. I have never seen him before. I don't even know what he looks like. Only the rumors heard about him. He is cold and ruthless and I am sure he'd be mean to me. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, my eyes were swollen. For the rest of the night, I cried my eyes out and screamed but that man I called my father wouldn't even hear me. And he is even using my mother as a threat to me. She would kill my mom if I don't accept marrying that so-called Lucas. Not for once had he ever cared for my mother and me. He only cared about his money
