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
Monalisa's POVI and Kate stood watching as my mother in-law entered into her car and drove away. "Good bye mum" I said, waving my hand.In few seconds, the car was out of sight. I let out a deep breath and walked back into the shopping mall with Kate following suit.I had just launched my first large supermarket and I couldn't help but feel fulfilled. I just hope things go well, I would like to launch more shopping malls and boutiques in different parts of America and beyond.I looked at the flowers in my hand and smiled, my mum in law had given it to me as a gift during the opening ceremony which was co ordinated by her. Mum was here too but she had left earlier because I made her to. It was time to take her drugs and Injections and I wouldn't want her to miss any of the dose of the drugs because of me. Alex was supposed to be here too but I suddenly received a message from him saying that he was busy and couldn't attend.I'm sure he must be spending time with his girlfriend. Today
Monalisa's POVI sat on the chair discussing with my friend, Kate. She wouldn't stop screaming and staring in awe at the gifts given by some dignitaries to my father-in-law. We were both amazed when a man presented to him the key to a customized Lamborghini car. Why does the rich prefer gifting themselves when they can actually give it to those who don't have any nor can afford it.Well, it's his birthday and I guess he deserves it. "Oh my gosh! How could they be so shameless?" Kate suddenly exclaimed. I looked up to see her staring towards the bar stand with furrowed brows. I followed the direction of her eyes and my eyes fell on Alex and a lady. That area looked a bit darker than other part of the foyer but I don't need a prophet to tell me who the lady was. They both seemed so happy. "Why is that Lena always acting like a dog which cannot live without his master?" I said through gritted teeth." I feel like dragging out all her hair" Kate added.I sighed and tried to take off my
Alex's POVI came out of the bathroom with my white towel wrapped around my waist. Jeez! I am late for work. I can't believe I wasted so much time in the shower. I sauntered over to my wardrobe and was about selecting a dress when I heard a noise behind.I whirled around to see Monalisa. She was staring at me and grinning while shaking some keys in her hand. "What is it?" I asked, giving her a suspicious look."Nothing" She grinned, still shaking the key in her hand. I furrowed my brows at her before turning back to the wardrobe. After much deliberation, i ended up choosing a gray suit. I walked back into the bathroom and changed into it before returning back into the room.As soon as I returned, she resumed making noise with the key and whistling. I tried to overlook it again but she wouldn't stop. I angrily walked up to her and snatched the key from her hand."Hey! Give me back the keys" She half yelled trying to get the keys but I raised my hand up. "No. I won't" "Give the keys
Lena's POVI knocked on the door and without waiting for any reply, I walked into Tina's office and sat down on the couch. She was having a meeting with her workers or should I say managers because there were just three of them. Tina owns a large beauty company which produces jewelries, eye pencils, lipstick and other beauty products.She gave me a "seriously?" Look, I'm sure she must be admiring my boldness but who cares? I have got something very important to tell her, moreover this is not my first time. She is supposed to get used to it already.Without uttering a word to me, she continued with her meeting. I looked at my wristwatch consistently, tapping my feet on the floor and impatiently waiting for the meeting to come to an end. What in the world are they discussing? After a while, Tina discharged them. As soon as they left, she slumped into her whirling chair and heaved a loud sigh before turning to me. I gave her a broad smile."You can speak up already, I just hope I can he
Alex's POVI was speaking with Monalisa when my phone suddenly rang, I quickly glanced at the screen, it was Lena.I pressed the green button."Hello baby" Her voice came from the other end."Hey""What are you doing now?" "Why? When did I become obligated to tell you whatever I am doing? " I fired." That is not what I meant darling. I am just trying to find out if you missed me as much as I missed you. We haven't seen today and it feels as if it's ages already"" You're really good with words. Don't be silly" I chuckled." I have prepared something really nice for you this evening. I ordered some sexy and hot lingeries and i would like to try them out before you. So what do you think?" She whispered softly into the phone.Jeez! She is so good with words. I am so stressed out and this is definitely the best thing I need right now."This is the reason why i prefer you among other ladies. Give me some time, I will be there soon" I said, licking my lips." Okay baby. See you soon" She g
Monalisa's POVI chuckled as I got off the phone with my mum-in-law. Alex thought he is smart but he doesn't know that I am also good in playing games. I know his weakness and I will always use it to win against him. Thank goodness, his mum loves me. I'm sure that jerk and his aunt would have frustrated me to an early grave."Not bad Mona. You're getting better with your drama skills, I am totally impressed." Kate grinned. " Thank you darling. I am sure that jerk will be here anytime soon." I boasted. "What do you think Lena would do when she finds out that her boyfriend didn't come to see her because he wanted to safely send his wife home? " I smirked." Well, she would be jealous and then heartbroken before bursting out into tears" Kate said with pouted lip.We both burst out laughing.Just then, my eyes fell on one of my computers which was connected to the CCTV at the entrance of the mall. I saw Alex hurrying towards my office. Although he was masked, I knew it was him."He is h
Anita's POVI sat down on the couch as today's event ran through my mind. I had a get together with some clique of friends yesterday earlier today. I got myself heavily decorated with my expensive gold jewelleries because I knew that I was bound to meet her.Gina. My opponent.Gina is a show off who likes making everyone feel that she is better than them. She would purposely dress up with customized expensive wears to our get togethers and this time, I was prepared to beat her to her games.During the course of our meeting, we discussed about petty things like the fashion world, business, family and women's stuff. I was sipping my drink when one of the ladies suddenly called me."Anita, I heard that your son got married. Congratulations" Jane said."Thank you" I smiled, feeling proud." Tsh. Don't be so happy, do you really think that your son of all people is truly married? " Gina interrupted.I shot her a hard stare. "What do you mean by that?""Tsh. Don't be so naive Anita. Everyo
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
