Monalisa's POVMum's hug felt so warm. And that moment, all the memories I have spent with her began running back and It struck me so hard that I am not going to see her every day nor hug her until my heart's content."What is wrong Lisa? Why are you crying?" Mum asked and broke the hug. " I have missed you so much, mum" I cracked." I missed you too my child. It's so good to see you again" She smiled and used her hand to wipe my tears. I couldn't help but to smile."But why are you in the kitchen? I thought the doctor said you should take some rest" I scolded and made to call the maids but she stopped me."Why are you acting as if you care?" Mum snarled." Huh?" I exclaimed and turned to her shocked."You this spoilt brat! How could you not pay your sick mum a visit for almost a month. For a moment, I was scared that you have forgotten me and has run away with a rich man" " What? How could you think of such a thing mum?.. I didn't mean.. "" How could you be so good with predicting
Monalisa's POVWe both glanced at each other as we awaited mum's response. Alex looked so relaxed and I am sure he must be hoping for mum to say No to our marriage and probably, he would take advantage of the situation to push for a divorce.Or maybe he is not as bad as I think he is. I mean if he didn't come to my aid, I wouldn't have known how to tell mum about us. I might have even ended up hurting her but from the look of things, mum is still calm and it's all thanks to Alex."Do you love my daughter?" Mum suddenly asked."What?" I and Alex chorused."Alex, do you love my daughter?" Mum asked again, staring keenly at Alex.Alex glanced at me as I swallowed hard. What would his reply be?"I am deeply in love with your daughter and I don't think I will be able to live without her" Alex replied with his eyes still fixed on mine. I felt my heart beat increase. Why does his words sound so real? "It is so nice to hear this coming from your mouth". Mum said. "I and my daughter has a ver
Monalisa's POVI stepped down from the cab and paid the driver as he zoomed wearing a confused look. I am sure he must be wondering why someone who is visiting such an affluent family would go with a cab. This is all Alex fault.After we left mum's house, I thought we were going home but all of a sudden he brought the car to a halt. He asked me to get down and use a cab because he had an important meeting to attend to.All my protestations fell on deaf ears as he was adamant to watch me go home on cab while he goes to attend his stupid meeting in his car.I am sure the important meeting is that of Lisa because she kept on calling and texting him. Maybe she is angry that Alex spent almost the whole day with me and that jerk decided to Leave me stranded to go appease his girlfriend.Ugh. I can't believe he did this to me. I hate the both of them."One moment he is kind and the other moment he is acting like a devil." I murmured as I angrily stomped into the foyer. I already know the pas
Monalisa's POVI picked up my phone and walked downstairs for a stroll. I have been lying down on the bed and chatting with Kate all morning. I was about leaving the house when I noticed that Anita was in the kitchen. What could she be doing there? She was supposed to be at work. She owns some companies and shopping complex. I walked up to the kitchen. As soon as she heard approaching footsteps, she turned back."Hi. Good afternoon mum" "Good afternoon dear." She smiled at me and continued with what she was doing. There were some stains of flour on the apron she was putting on, looks like she is baking."What are you doing mum?" I asked."Oh! I'm trying to bake some cup cakes for your husband and his father" she replied, scooping a liquid from one bowl into a pan.What? Is that not supposed to be the work of the cooks. I thought."I do this once in a while. Since we are always busy and hardly spends time together, this is my way of strengthening our bond" She added." Oh. That's co
Alex's POVI sat backwards on the whirling chair and took off my already tired hand from the keyboard which was connected to the large monitor on my table. I have been busy trying to type in some important documents which I can't trust with the secretary.Just then, the door cracked open. I looked up to see who had the guts to barge into my office without knocking and to my surprise, it was Monalisa."Hi hubby" She giggled as she shashayed towards me. She was dressed in a strapless blue gown which barely got to her knees and a pair of sandals. The light make up on my face made her look so different. She is beautiful.I didn't know I have been staring all this while, when Monalisa suddenly snap her fingers bringing me out of my thoughts.I cleared my throat."What are you doing here?" I asked."What kind of a funny question is that? Why? Am I forbidden to come pay you a visit or were you expecting someone else? " She fired.I let out a sigh and rested back on the chair. I am not in the
Monalisa's POVI can't believe Lena had the guts to bring cupcakes for Alex after knowing I was also going to his office with pancakes. Does she think I am in a competition with her? How many times will I explain to her that I don't care about Alex and I don't give a damn about their relationship.I hissed and walked out of the office. I am sure this is what that jerk wanted; to get rid of me and spend time with his girlfriend. Poor Lena! I wonder what she sees in that Alex. From the way she looks at him, I am definitely sure she is in love with him. But Alex told me that they both don't believe in forever and marriage. I was still lost in my thoughts when I collided into a huge figure causing some documents to spill out on the floor."What the heck! Are you blind or something?" A man roared."I am so sorry. I am sorry" I apologized and quickly bent to pick them up.Some men tried to assist me but he stopped them. "Don't aid her. She made a mistake, let her bear the consequences alon
Monalisa's POVI yawned and slowly opened my bleary eyes to behold Alex seated on a chair beside the bed and staring at me. I screamed and quickly sat up in shock."Hey! What are you doing? You almost startled me" I almost yelled, breathing heavily. He didn't say anything rather he kept on glaring at me without even blinking.Okay! This is getting more scarier and uncomfortable."Alex? Are you okay? Why are you staring at me like that?" I slowly asked, confused." How do you feel after ruining my yesterday and today?" He snarled with furrowed brows." What do you mean by.." I paused as yesterday's event replayed in my head. I can't believe I cried on his shoulders. I don't have to ask about his clothes, I am sure he is never going to wear them again."I.. I'm really sorry about yesterday, I didn't mean to stop your activities but I couldn't help it" I slowly spoke, pouting my lip. He let out a brief laughter. " Sorry? Is sorry going to solve everything? Do you know how many contract
Kate's POVI stepped out of the cab and paid the driver. I hope Monalisa is fine? Or could it be that her husband has done something terrible to her?I turned to see the huge mansion standing before me."Oh my gosh! Monalisa lives in a palace" I gasped, admiring the building.I shook off my silly thoughts. I have to be focused. If I find out that Alex did anything to Lisa, I will forget that he was once my crush and won't hesitate to give him a taste of my fist. I charged towards the building and pressed the door bell but there was no response. I pressed it again and the door cracked open to reveal a young lady. She was putting on a blue uniform, looks like she is a helper. This is the way the maids of rich people in television dress."Hi.. I am here to see Monalisa, she is my friend""Oh.. you are Kate? She told me that you will be coming, please do come inside" The lady said with a warm smile. I returned the smile and walked into the large foyer. The interior deco was out of this w
AlexI dragged my feet into my room and slumped on the floor. Monalisa is gone. Isn't this what I have always wanted?. To be a free man. Completely free from the annoying entanglement called marriage. But then, why do I feel sad that she is gone. Why does my heart hurt. Ugh. I hate this feeling.I ran my hand through my head, struggling to keep my loose emotions together. I heard a knock on the door. "Come in" I quickly replied and the door cracked open to reveal exactly what I needed at this moment - alcohol. With the tray which contained the bottle and glass cup in her hands, Nanny Dora headed towards the side table at the end of the bed."Bring it here" I stopped her.She hesitated as she turned to glance at me, probably wondering if it was right for me to be seated on the floor. I don't care right now. I just want to get rid of the emptiness. I let out a sigh as she placed the tray before me, on the floor. "Thank you." She made to leave but paused and turned to me. "Just got a
AlexI exhaled deeply as I finally brought the car before my huge mansion. I stepped down and rushed towards the main door, hoping that monalisa doesn't hurt herself . Jeez. What just happened. The automatic door pulled open and I rushed in, I was quick enough to halt or I would have collided with Lisa who was hurrying towards the door, rolling her pink travelling bag along."What is going on Lisa?. Why are you with a bag?" I asked, confused. "I'm obviously leaving your life so that you can have all the freedom to go back into the arms of your most beloved Lena " She growled and made to leave but I blocked her." What are you saying Mona?. You can't leave me just like that " I countered. " I know you are angry right now but it would be better we talk it over than making such a haste decision to leave "" Talk over?. Look Alex. There is nothing to discuss here. You have chosen who you want to be with and I'm sick and tired of being a sideline. I'm sick and tired of hoping for a relat
AlexI was trying to get clothes for Mona when I got a text message from Lena. She has arranged an apology surprise package for Lisa and would want me to check it out before inviting Mona over. Mona has been moody since their fight, I just hope this surprise will lighten up her mood again and probably, they will become friends.It was a few minutes drive and I finally got to Silverado's hotel. I got out of my car and walked into the large building. The moment I stepped in, the receptionist seemed to be waiting for my arrival as she quickly got to me and escorted me to the room."Come in." Lena's voice came as the young lady knocked on the door.I muttered a thank you to the receptionist before stepping in. I closed the door and turned to see Lena seated on the bed with no sight of any surprise package. "Hi, Alex" Lena chuckled as she stood up from the bed and walked towards me. She was dressed in a red gown which had a side slit, revealing her laps."I thought you said you prepared a
MonalisaAlex kept on picking different wears, I turned many down but accepted a few. I was just not in the mood. Particularly not in the mood to shop with him. Because each time I set my eyes on him, I was worried that Lena would do as she threatened. No matter how much I tried to look happy, deep down I was really sad and scared.No matter what I say, Alex is still adamant about being friends with Lena. He trusts her so much and doesn't want to listen to me. I'm so scared that history will repeat itself again. I'm not even close to him, so it would be really easy for Lena to take him away from me."Mona. " A familiar voice yelled, bringing me out of my thoughts. I raised my head to see Kate walking towards me with smiles plastered all over her face.I jumped up to my feet and ambled over, into her arms. "Thank goodness you are here. I'm so happy to see you" She giggled as we disengaged from the hug. "How are you? ""I'm fine. What are you doing here?" I asked." I asked her to com
Alex I furrowed my brows as Mona climbed down the stairs in a short gown, revealing her perfectly straight laps. It reminded me of the gown yesterday, I guess that stupid man got enticed by it and thought it cool to woo someone else's wife.Mona didn't even say a word to me as she joined me on the table. At that moment, I decided that it was time to go shopping and get her maternity gowns. All her clothes are getting shorter due to her bump. Her body belongs to me alone and exposing too much of it, is not cool at all."After breakfast, we are going shopping" I announced.She raised her eyebrows. "All of a sudden? Nah. I'm not in the mood. Some other day" She has been acting strange since we returned from the party yesterday. I don't know what transpired between her and Lena but I was surprised to see them fighting and to avoid giving the media something to gossip, I had to forcefully take her home. She should be grateful to me instead of acting all moody.Well, that wouldn't stop m
Monalisa"Hey, wifey. You're here?" Alex suddenly appeared and threw his arm over my shoulder. "And who is he?" He added with a death glare at Leonard. Ugh. Why does he have to show up now and ruin my beautiful moment with this hottie? "Wifey?. You're married?" Leonard asked with confusion written on his face."No..I.." I tried to say but Alex cut me off."Yes. She is my wife. Why? Do you have a problem with that?" He bit out."No. Not really. Sorry for the inconvenience." He apologized. " See you around Lisa" He turned to me with a warm smile before walking away."Bye," I giggled excitedly just to spite Alex.As soon as he was gone, Alex took his hand off my shoulders. "See you around Lisa" He mimicked. "How dare that bastard flirt with my wife before my face?".He looked at me with anger written on his face as I tried to hold in my laughter. He looks like a child whose portion of food was messed with."What do you think you are doing?" He snarled at me. "What do you mean? I was j
MonalisaI ran through my wardrobe, contemplating what to wear. I have to look as hot as my husband so that no lady would be able to snatch his eyes away from my body.Alex was invited to a ball party by one of his business partners. Although I wasn't in the mood to party, I had to agree to go with him to protect him from the evil eyes of women like Lena. I just have a feeling that she will be there.All my clothes were either short, too revealing, or too tight on me. While the remaining was so against my fashion taste. I guess my fashion sense has changed too.After a while, I settled for a red sleeveless flowing gown which was slit by the side, revealing my sexy legs. I put on a light makeup. I would have called Kate to help me get dressed up but she has tight schedules lately and I don't want to add to her stress.I wore a long gold earrings which shone brightly under the chandeliers. I slipped my feet into my black-heeled shoes and packed up my straightened hair in a ponytail.I t
MonalisaMy car finally came to a halt before the huge building. The Marvin's group of companies - My husband's property. It has been a while since I visited him in his office, I'm sure he will be surprised. I even made his favorite pancakes and strawberries toppings. This was the best way to repay him for the surprise outing yesterday.I got out of the car, put on my bold sunglasses, picked up the bag that contained the dish I made for Alex, and sashayed past the wide glass door which automatically opened as soon as I approached it.I was excitedly greeted by the surprised employees. I guess some of them had noticed my bump. I replied to those I could and waved at others with a forced smile. I got into the elevator but paused when I noticed a familiar figure walking past me.I hurried out to make sure I wasn't mistaken. My jaw dropped in disbelief when I confirmed that it was Lena."Lena" I exclaimed with gritted teeth. As soon as she heard her name, she turned behind immediately and
MonalisaAs days turned into weeks, my bulge began to become more visible and my mood swings and cravings became worse. I would wake up in the morning and the first thing I would think of doing is eating without even brushing my teeth. Sometimes I would lose interest in going to the office and other times, I would prefer to visit Alex.The young man has gotten tired of me but who cares? It's his child and he should get ready to bear all the cross attached to becoming a father. Today is one of those days that I don't feel like going out. I had taken my bath earlier and made to go out but suddenly lost interest in going to the office and having to see different kinds of food which might end up making me throw up. I sighed and fell back on the bed. No one ever told me that pregnancy could be this tiring. I closed my eyes as sleep suddenly took over me.I don't know how long I slept but I felt a peck on my forehead and that made me force my eyes open. I was surprised to see Alex staring
