I am thrown into a cold cell, loosing my landing and falling on the cold floor.
"You would sleep here for a while." Veronica, Richard's wife sneered at me, the gate banging shut and getting locked.
No, I can't be here. Who would take care of my father?
"I can't stay here. You have to let me out. I didn't do it. Please believe me." I screamed, running to the jail bars to try and convince them to open it.
They can't do this to me, they know I didn't do it. I only helped to bring him here. Then why are they doing this to me.
"Oh, we know honey that you didn't try to kill him. Someone just has to take the blame for me, and that someone is you." Veronica smiled wickedly at me, turning around to walk away, my chance of being set free gone along with her.
I shouldn't have helped him. I should have just let him be when I saw the car crash. Then this wouldn't have happened.
If i had just minded my business, I wouldn't be locked up.
Just in one night, I found out Shane is cheating on me, I 'helped' the son of the man that killed my mother and now I'm locked up.
I was supposed to go see father today, he would be really worried if I don't come see him as usual.
If I had just ignored and let someone else help this wouldn't have happened.
I'm so stupid.
I don't even know when they would decide to let me go, if they would that is.
The mosquitos and cold weather kept me up all night, by morning a piece of stale bread was thrown at me to eat.
None of the police men bothering to find out if what they were told was true.
My hatred for the Tamer family intensified that very second.
_Avery Tamer POV_
I groaned, slowly openiny eyes, shutting them once more when the sunrays threaten to blind me. My head hurting really badly.
"Avery. Oh Avery." A strange woman rushes to me saying my name. I stare at her confused on who she was, why was she acting like she had a close relationship with me?
She lays on my chest as she sobs, speaking incoherent sentences, her tears and makeup staining my clothes.
"Who are you?" I growl, pushing her off me, she looked at me shocked as she tries to balance herself.
I look at Veronica, my step mother and Luke standing behind her, they were both looking at me strangely, like something was odd with me but I don't think too much about it.
How could they let a stranger into my room and allow her behave this way with me.
Wait, where am I? In a hospital room? Why don't I remember getting here? Oh right, I got into an accident.
I groaned softly holding my head when I start to feel dizzy. Soon enough it cleared and I looked at the woman in disgust, she looked at my mother confused on what to do. She walks to me slowly, reaching for me.
"Avery. It's me Ava. Your girlfriend." She lies trying to touch me and I push her away.
She's my girlfriend? That's an obvious lie. Who would believe her? I might have gotten unto an accident but I'm not stupid.
"Where's Bella? Where's my girlfriend Bella?" I ask when I don't see her around. She should be here shouldn't she?
Luke stares at me confused, then opens his mouth in an 'o' like he understood something.
"Doctor, what's wrong with him? Why can't he remember her? Why is he calling that girl his girlfriend. What's wrong doctor." I hear Veronica ask the doctor and I scowl.
Why is she referring to My Bella like she's trash. They did something to her, I can tell. That's why she's not here.
"It seems he lost a bit of his memories, but they should be back soon enough. Don't stress him or try to force him to remember. Apart from that he's in good condition." Doctor left after saying this.
Veronica smiles at me, sitting beside my bed.
"Avery. How are you feeling? You really don't remember Ava? I know you two had your fights but still…" She starts touching my forehead trying to feel my temperature, I don't know where she's going with this but I don't like it .
"I just got into an accident. That's all." I say, moving my head away from her touch.
She reeked of expensive perfumes and it made me feel nauseated. Bella never used such thick perfumes. She always smells nice.
"Avery, Avery my love. How do you feel now?" The unknown woman reaches for me again and I glare at her in annoyance. Doesn't she understand simple words?
Why did they just let anyone inside. Where are my bodyguards?
"Who is she? Why is she here? Get her out of here." I snapped and she backs away a bit.
"But Avery-" She starts but Luke stops her, whispering something into her ears.
Grumbling she stomped away from my room, banging the door in the process. I would never date someone like that.
"Where's Bella? Why isn't she here yet?" I ask, my eyes darting between Veronica and Luke. Father and my half brother Henry were not here yet but that wasn't really my concern.
"We thought she was the one that caused your accident, so we locked her up." Veronica said and I give her an icy glare. She takes a step back subconscious
"You locked her up?" I asked. I was confused on why she would decide that Bella was the cause of my accident.
"She was the only one with you and she didn't get hurt but you did. What was I supposed to think?" She cried out and Luke rolls his eyes behind her.
"I want her out of there. Take me to her." I ordered immediately, standing up from the bed.
Bella Davis POV_The sound of keys rattling makes me look up, the dimness of the cell making it hard for me to really see who was coming in."You're free to go." The police officer throws the door open, waiting for me to leave.I stare at him confused, unsure of what to do. Was he being serious or was this some kind of joke."What are you waiting for? Leave. Or did you form a bond with the mice here and now you can't leave your friends behind.", He mocks laughing along with his friends.With a scowl on my face, I leave that place without hesitation. Ignoring the mocking gazes of the police menThe moment i step out of the police station I am enveloped in a hug, the smell of mint and wood wafting into my nostrils.My first thought was to scream assault, but the voice that follows through makes me pause."Are you alright?" Avery asked me still holding me closely. Isn't he supposed to be in the hospital right now?Wait. Hold on. Did he just ask if i was alright? Did he hit his head so ha
_Bella Davis' POV_I stared at the multiple papers that were sent to me this morning from West Tech industry (that was the name of Avery's company). I thought Luke was actually joking when he was talking about me pretending to be Avery's girlfriend yesterday, seems he was actually quite serious.I flip through the papers i was expected to read and sign by this twelve noon, and I was expected to memorize at least some basic things in Avery's life because I would be going to see him by twelve noon as well.Today is going to be a long day.I looked at the wall clock by my left, the time is currently fifteen minutes past nine so i had barely three hours to read and memorize everything I could about the obnoxious egotistical billionaire Avery Tamer.Just great.Grabbing the cup of coffee I just made and moving over to my tiny table by the wall side, careful not to hit anything in my cramped up apartment which was really just a single room.I set the papers down, taking a sip frombmy cup an
_Veronica Tamer POV_"I can't believe he survived the car crash" Henry, my first son cussed, his hand on his waist and a bottle of liquor on his other hand.Yes, I can't believe he survived too. He was supposed to have died then. But then that girl, she had to go and save him, if she ignored him like everyone one else did then he would have been dead now. It made all my efforts go to waste."But he's still alive and he also lost his memory so we should use that to out advantage. We need to take the company from him and kill him too. We need to do it fast. Use his memory lose and make him seem incompetent in front of the shareholders."But that girl Bella might be a problem. When did they both start dating? I haven't seen her with him before except that one time. Something doesn't seem right._Bella Davis POV_I am immediately pulled into a hug the moment i step into the apartment. The familiar smell of Avery Davis filling my nostrils for the second time this week. I want to push his a
_Bella Davis POV_I stared up at the hospital building for a few minutes before walking in. My father was recently admitted here and I came to check up on him again."Hey, Bella." Mark, one of the doctors here who knows me greeted me, I smiled and waved at him. Almost everyone knew me here, I was here because of my father all the time. I jogged up the staircase, walking into his room just to find him sleeping, he slept a lot these days, he was too weak to stay awake, according to the doctor.My father was diagnosed with heart disease a few years ago. And without money to treat it, his health condition has gotten worse."Hi, dad." I greet not expecting any reply.He needed surgery done soon but we didn't have any money to pay for it. That's why I had to take Luke's offer.After sitting beside him for a while, I stand up to leave."Bella? Is that you?" He asks weakly and I turn to him, sitting once more. "Yes, Dad.""How are you doing, my angel?" He asks, his voice barely audible."I'
_Bella Davis POV_"I asked a question. What is going on here?" He repeats his question, staring between Veronica and me.I had to act before she did."Avery." I cry running to him. Running into his arms, I hold him sniffling. It was fake tears but they didn't have to know that."Why are you here?" Avery asks Veronica holding me tightly. Veronica looks at me and smiles, probably seeing through my act, she was already suspicious of me. I just have to make sure she never exposes me in front of Avery.I needed to do something to throw this all in my favor." She was already inside our home when I got home and she asked how much you paid me to be with you, she thinks you paid me to pretend to be your girlfriend. She doesn't believe that I love you. She said I'm faking it." I cried holding Avery tighter.Well, that should do it, I just needed to get out of this, just this once, and then I'd be good. The temperature in the room drops immediately, getting colder all of a sudden."You are do
_Avery Tamer POV_I look at a sleeping Bella who is on the sofa, snoring lightly. She begged to watch a movie with me and then she fell asleep immediately after the movie started. She's cute. I can't even remember where we met or when we started dating, but I know she is mine and it's going to stay that way, I wasn't ready to let go of her.For a moment there when it seemed she couldn't remember where we met I got suspicious of her. I thought that maybe she was indeed using me and toying with the fact I couldn't remember much about her just like Veronica said.And then there was that woman Ava, who came to meet me today claiming to be my actual girlfriend.But I remembered bits and pieces of what happened when we met but not the whole thing so I believe her. I have memories of meeting little Ava as a child, and I have memories of her spilling coffee on me when we met at the Cafe she worked at. But that was it. Every other thing about her came in bits and pieces. I was aware her fathe
_Bella Davis' POV_"They did what?" I exclaimed staring at Avery in shock."My parents asked for dinner with you at their place," Avery repeats, his hand around my waist on the sofa.Why would Veronica suddenly request a dinner if she is not planning anything new?She must have a new plan to try and expose me in front of Avery, and that's why she is requesting dinner now.What should I do? Luke didn't tell me anything about this."If you don't want to go then it's completely fine. We could cancel it, whatever makes you happy we would do that" He assures me pulling me closer to him.But what should I do? Should I accept this invitation which seems more of a challenge? Or should I play safe and chicken out? I want to see what they have planned though. What should I do? Maybe I shouldn't go-"Of course, she is going." Luke walks in carrying a bag that looks like it belongs to an expensive boutique. When did he get here?"Jesus Christ Luke! Learn to knock before you enter my house." Aver
_Bella Davis POV_Avery looked at us both, then decided to let go."So would you be going for dinner then?" Avery asked and I nodded. I have no choice but to go, it seems."Alright then. Since it has been decided, let's get you ready for it. We have to glam you up and everything." Luke says, picking up his phone to call someone but I instantly refuse."I'm going to go my way to this. I don't feel like doing make-up or anything and I want to be comfortable in my clothes. Since it's just dinner with his parents. How bad can it go?*Few hours later*I looked around the dinner table awkwardly feeling out of place here.Veronica and Richard were dressed in expensive clothes, which I guess was the normal thing for them to do. Henry, Avery's stepbrother was dressed in a suit, his black hair gelled back to look perfect. Avery too was wearing a suit as usual but without the suit jacket, his tie was not on his neck, and his first two buttons were undone, showing off his gold necklace and perf
