MONALISA Adam locked eyes with me for a brief moment and smiled, revealing his dimples before letting go of my hand.He turned to Clay and they engaged in a conversation while Mia flashed me a sweet smile and I smiled back.At this time, Clay suddenly gasped, "Mia?" He acted as though he had only just seen her.Mia flashed him a smile, "Hi, Clay."Adam was about to speak when Clay asked, "Are you two dating?"Adam nodded and Clay exclaimed, "Wow! What a small world! Mia and I have known each other for years but we lost contact months ago. Who would have known that she would become your girlfriend?Mia's a very nice girl, Adam. Just like my Lisa. I approve of her completely. All the best."Mia did not make any move to shake hands with Clay like Adam had done with me. Meanwhile, Adam sighed in relief and hugged Clay, "Thank you so much, Clay. Since you guys just arrived, you should go freshen up while I get the cooks to make dinner."It was easy to see that Adam loved Mia, especially
MONALISA The four of us sat around the dining table an hour later while the servants served our meal.Clay kept staring at me with a smile on his face but only I knew what was really going on in his mind at that time.Meanwhile, Adam and Mia kept stealing glances at each other. The more I watched them, the more I felt that separating them was going to be cruel.Nevertheless, it wasn't my place. If Mia genuinely loved Adam like I believed she did, Clay's plans would be utterly useless.We began to eat in silence until Adam asked Clay, "How's your company doing?"Clay sighed and shook his head, "I really don't know what's going wrong. I think someone is sabotaging me. There's a problem with my factory and it keeps affecting the taste of my goods.Consumers are complaining and boycotting my company. I've gotten some very good engineers, I was told that everything was fine but just as I got here, I got a call about the factory again. Goods worth millions of dollars are going to be thrown
MONALISA I furrowed my brows, "What? But I just got here and I don't know the area well. Wouldn't it be better for me to go to bed?"He held my shoulders, "Please, Lisa. I'm not asking you to go very far. Just go a little over the bridge and I'll call you once I've gotten what I want.I know the way Mia thinks. If she knows you are in this house, it would be a turn-off for her. I plan to seduce her and no matter what, I will make her give in to me.Don't forget you promised to help me with this. Moreover, once I have Mia in the palm of my hands, I will make it up to you and pleasure you so hard that you will not stop screaming my name."I sighed, "Fine, I'll do it. You can keep your short-term benefits to yourself."He excitedly kissed me before disappearing from my sight. As I watched him walk away, I wondered why I had agreed to work with him in the first place.I began to slowly walk out of the villa until I was outside the gate. I spotted the bridge from there and began walking t
MIAI entered the bathroom and began to shower. My mind briefly recalled the scene of Clay and his girlfriend kissing outside their room but I shook the memory off.I no longer cared about Clay in that sense so there was no reason to be bothered by such things, yet it lingered in my mind, making me recall the good times when I was the only thing Clay's eyes could see.I had no regrets about leaving Clay and falling for Adam. Clay was too conceited, possessive, and unnecessarily jealous. I just couldn't deal with it anymore.Yes, Adam was lacking in a few areas but it was something I could live with. He was perfect for me and I loved him just the way he was.I came out of the bathroom after wiping my body. I had to get dressed and make Lisa my friend since it was something Adam wanted. Before that, I needed to speak to Adam and remind him to drive slowly because I had earlier seen in the news that it was going to rain.I picked up my phone and was about to dial Adam's number when I hea
MIAI heaved a sigh of relief when Clay got off the bed but it did not last for long.The sudden sounds of thunder and lightning told me that it was about to start raining. I had yet to call Adam and I was worried about him.I quickly took advantage of the opportunity and picked up my phone. I dialed Adam's number but it didn't go through.I tried a few more times without success and angrily tossed the phone onto the chair. I picked up my dress and wanted to quickly wear it but Clay suddenly turned.I had to discard him but I didn't know how I was going to do that. The fact that he was confident I was going to give him my consent made me feel so much better. No matter what, I would never do that.He suddenly began to take off his clothes and my eyes widened in shock, "What are you doing? Didn't you say you wouldn't force me?""How is this forcing you? I'd like to know," he replied.I gulped and he finally took everything off and was now standing in his birthday suit. His length was ha
MIAI turned and stared at Clay who began to approach me again, leaving the towel on the bed. I ran toward the bed and picked up the towel while he locked the door and shook his head before making his way back to the bed.I quickly covered my body with the towel again and got up while he chortled, "You seem to be enjoying this, baby. Now, where were we?Since you broke the unspoken rule and tried to run away, I'll just have to punish you."I began to back up until there was no longer room for me to move. With my back touching the wall and my heart beating so fast, I closed my eyes, refusing to look at Clay.He held the knot of my towel and pulled it off my body. I gasped and covered my breasts with both hands as I cried, "Please, let me go, Clay.""Didn't I tell you that I won't touch you without your consent?" He asked. He moved his lips toward my ear and whispered, "Do you remember the last time we were together in Paris?It was your birthday that night and I spent it pleasuring yo
ADAMAs I drove downtown, I felt very happy. Things seemed to be going the way I wanted.Perhaps the time we spent apart had made Clay realize that I meant him no harm and just wanted us to be at peace with each other.I knew Mia really wanted to come with me but making Lisa her friend seemed to me like a nice idea. Lisa looked calm but a little uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because Clay had a history with Mia. Once they became friends, everyone would be happy and at ease. These thoughts filled my mind as I continued to drive. However, I received a call from a friend who had with him a document I needed.He informed me that there was going to be a heavy downpour and everyone was advised to remain indoors until it was no longer raining.After hearing from him, I recalled that Mia had said something similar but I was working on my computer at the time and didn't pay much attention to her.I was closer to my destination but safety was always paramount to me. So, I stopped my car by the
MONALISAI didn't know why I ended up crying. It wasn't something someone like me would usually do in such a situation.Perhaps because my situation was pathetic or I had almost lost my life, I felt very emotional. Adam held my hands and lifted me up, pulling me into his arms.Our clothes were both wet but in his arms, I felt warmth.""Shh, it's okay. You are safe," he whispered.When I finally became quiet, his arms left my body and I moved back a little.He remained quiet as the minutes ticked by. Perhaps he was waiting for me to be comfortable enough to speak. Yet I could not look up at him.I felt ashamed and wondered what he would think of me when he got to find out the reason I had arrived with Clay.The sound of a tree falling right in front of his jeep, made me cry out in fright. He got out of the car, closed the door, and inspected the damage the tree had caused to the car.I was shivering both from cold and fear but I could not say a word about it. The mere fact that I was w
