Memories undone Set up
Bella's Pov "Why do I need a microphone?" I asked with my now raspy voice. A good nights rest did not help cure my sore throat nor did all the soup I was given. It only got worse and I had my uncle to blame for this. "It's just standard procedure." My fathers assistant said as she pushed the wires down my dress. I narrowed my eyes because I didn't believe that my father would put a microphone on me unless he planned on forcing me to talk. "Mr. Connery will be doing all the talking. You have nothing to worry about." She stated with what I could only assume was a lie. I pressed my lips together as I stood perfectly still. My father was most likely hoping that I wouldn't be prepared. Fortunately he would be highly disappointed because I was born prepared. My mother had raised me to be in situations like this, so I wasn’t worried. His assistant smoothed down my white floral dress and spun me around. I narrowed my eyes at her instantly. "Enough." I snapped when she started
Memories undone I know
Bella's Pov 45 minutes into the press conference and we were no closer to being done than we were when we first got here. I assumed it would take no more than a half hour but with how Lucas's answers were dragging on it didn't seem like we would be leaving any time soon. I looked at the flower I had drawn and cursed internally. For 45 minutes Lucas talked about the stock market and what his plans were to help it flourish. I understood nothing that he was talking about and I probably could thank my mother for that. She had told me that I would have people to help when it involved the stock market. That my only concern was the company and that seemed to be a lie. Had I known the truth I would’ve paid more attention when she had turned on the stock news. After half heartedly listening to lucas go on for 45 minutes about the stock market, I realized that the stock market had a lot to do with our company. It seemed like I would have to worry about the stock market just as much
Memories undone Can’t take over
Bella's Pov "So you would punish the people that help run the company?" The reporter asked with a raised eye brow. My cheeks heated up at his words and at the fact that he didn't let me finish. "I, I didn't finish." I quickly blurted out. The reporter pressed his lips but still gave a slight nod indicated that I could continue. "Now as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. I would cut the pay of management, than I would go over all the contracts that we have with different companies and renegotiate the contracts." I stated confidently. I tweaked a few things my mother said but it was still the same. My mother only wanted to bump the amount we received by 5%. I wanted to up it by 50% or get rid of the middle man all together. Why couldn’t we open up our own stores? Why were we only the distributors? "Can you explain ‘renegotiate contracts’?" The reporter asked. A small smile formed because this was my time to shine. "Well I meant that I would consider if we woul
Memories undone Never enough
Bella's Pov I looked down at the ring on my finger and twirled it around. Usually marriage was suppose to bring joy and excitement but all I felt was sadness. I guess that was the irony of a marriage of convenience. "At least it's pretty." I sang through a sigh. The light blue diamonds sparked every time they hit the light and the vine like design had it looking anything but what it was. It was perfect and I could only sigh. "Once we get home we will plan a big wedding and your honeymoon." My father absentmindedly stated as he clicked away on the keyboard of the laptop. I looked up at him and gave him a sad smile that he didn't see. He was too busy going through the formalities of making Lucas the new CEO, I could only assume. "We don't need it." I whispered before looking back down at the ring. He had had us get on our jet, fly across the world just so he could marry me off to Lucas. I did not feel like a wedding would be necessary. Had he tried that a week ago, I would've
Memories undone Isn’t fair
Bella's Pov The softness of what felt like a thick cover had me internally sighing. I snuggled more into my blanket, enjoying how my back no longer hurt. My brows furrowed as I realized I actually had room and my body was no longer cramped. My hand rubbed what felt like silk sheets causing me to force my eyes open. I rubbed my eyes, forcing myself to keep them open even though they were still heavy. I had been fighting a losing battle for hours I could only assume. Every time I had tried to wake up, my eyes would fail me and I would fall right back to sleep. This was the first time I was able to keep them open for more than a few seconds. I groggily pushed the covers away that wanted to take me back under and sat up. "Why am I so sleepy?" I groaned. I didn't have to look around to know that I was in my room. My silky black sheets and black blanket told me that much. I looked towards the window at the light that was trying to break through the pink and black curtains and narr
Memories undone A little brighter
Bella's Pov Who would've thought that being locked in my room would be this peaceful. My father thought I would cave and be a good and obedient daughter. How horribly wrong he was because I planned to stay here until it was my yearly checkup. I would tell my lawyer that they locked me in my room even though I did my part by marrying Lucas. Than I would see if I could get the marriage annulled while still having access to my money. I would watch my grandfathers company burn to the ground because of my mother and father. I couldn't deny that if my mother would've listened to my grandfather and not have married my father, our lives would be better. Yes I did have my grandfather to blame for me having to get married but that was besides the point. I knew he was trying to keep me safe and he never meant for this to happen. He would've protected me if he could’ve. A knock on the door had me covering up my face with my covers and pretending to be asleep. The sound of the lock
Memories undone To sleep
Bella's Pov I knew that I would've been smarter had I went to a normal school. I always begged my mother to let me be normal. I had deserved to have friends but she refused. I was required to be homeschooled. She insisted that I could not trust anyone because all they would want is the power that I held. She never missed a moment to tell me how easy someone could deceive me. "You know it's never too late to take back your life. Fix what your mother broke." Lucas whispered near my ear causing me to shiver from the way his breath tickled the back of my ear. "What, what are you doing?" I stuttered as my waist was grabbed and I was pulled back into his firm chest. "Talking to you." He whispered near my ear. The intoxicating scent of his cologne almost had me relaxing into him. Luckily my resolve was stronger than his seduction. "I don't want to talk. You need to leave now." I demanded sternly. "You can go to school and experience all of the moments your mother stole from you."
Memories undone By her 18th birthday
Third person Pov The dimly lit conference room was silent except for the man who was typing away on his laptop. Minutes had went by as the short man looked over the results, making sure to double check everything so that he didn't make a mistake. He kept looking down at his note book and back towards his laptop with furrowed brows. "So?" Someone asked finally breaking the silence that had became deafening in this room full of powerful men. The man quickly fixed his glasses and looked up from his laptop with a pale expression on his face. All eyes were on him and he couldn't help but pull at his collar out of nervousness and fear. For over 8 years he had worked countless hours to find a way to be able to attack the brain of someone whose body would protect them. After thousands of failed attempts and countless sleepless nights he finally succeeded. He had assumed it would only be a one time thing but he had realized too late that the men he had worked for were on a mission.
