Monalisa's POV

I blinked my eyes in confusion as my mother in-law kept on staring at me as if I was a stranger whom she just saw for the first time.

This is strange.

Could it be that I have done something wrong?.. but that is not possible. I can't remember doing anything against her wishes.

"Mum? You're making me uncomfortable, have I done anything wrong?" I stuttered.

"Are you truly married to my son?" She dropped the bombshell causing me to flinch in shock.

" What? " I exclaimed with widened eyes, hoping and praying that I didn't hear right.

" Are you legally married to my son?" She repeated.

What the heck is going on? How did she managed to find out?. Oh my goodness! What will happen next? I'm definitely done for.

" Why are you quiet? Have you suddenly gone dumb? Huh?"

"I...I.." I opened my mouth to say but no words was forthcoming.

She rushed to me and grabbed me by my arms. "No.. no.. don't tell me it's true. You are married to my son right? Your marriage isn't fake right?.. Tel

It is simple but before I continue, do you love my son?" I asked with furrowed brows." What? " She exclaimed with widened eyes.I am sure she wasn't expecting the question.

    Alex's POVI had a really stressful day, today. I had to complete all the works I left yesterday. Well maybe it wasn't really a bad decision. At least, I got to spend time with Lena, I have really missed her. I let out a deep sigh and pushed open the door. I dragged my already tired legs inside and to my surprise, Monalisa was sleeping on the couch.What the heck is she doing there? Is she tired of sleeping on the bed? Who does she think she is to suddenly wake up and make a decision without asking for my approval. First, she wanted the bed and when I decided to let her have it; she now wants the couch- I thought.I hissed and angrily walked up to where she laid but suddenly stopped when I heard a sniff. She is crying?I dropped my briefcase on the table and turned to her. "Mona. Are you alright? What is wrong?" I softly asked. She sat up on the couch and her eyes were already soaked with tears. At that moment, all the anger I had in me vanished and was replaced with worry and pity.

Isn't he supposed to be at work by now? It's almost late."Come in son" I offered.The door pushed open to reveal Alex with a big frown on his face."Get out. I want to have a word with my mum" He ordered the young lady, rudely. She took a slight bow before running out. "Hey son. What's wrong? You didn't even greet your mother. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" I asked, worried."What is going on with you mum? Huh?" He blinked his eyes in anger. Why does he look so angry? I don't remember doing anything wrong. Or could it be that Monalisa told her about what transpired between us yesterday? Oh my goodness!" Talk to me mum? Why are you keeping quiet? " " What exactly do you want me to reply? I don't even understand what you are saying" I chuckled nervously." Why did you ask Monalisa not to eat anything from th

    Alex's POVI turned restlessly on the swivel chair as many thoughts ran through my head. I still don't understand why the thought of Anna keeps troubling me. I really don't care if she stays hungry all day but why do I keep on feeling restless?."Sir. Sir. Are you listening to us sir?" I heard one of my managers say, bringing me out of my thoughts.This is the third time that I am blanking out like this. I looked around to see everyone staring at me with worried and confused looks. I am not the type that loses focus during meetings."Is everything alright sir?" Steven, my personal assistant whispered to me.I nooded positively, adjusting my tie."This meeting is adjourned till further notice." I announced."Yes sir" They chorused. I let out a deep sigh of relief as soon as they left. I fished out my phone and dialed my best friend's number but changed my mind. If I call him, I am sure he would seize the opportunity to tease me and I'm not in the mood for that so I settled for a text

    Monalisa's POV I raised my eyebrows. "Alex is worried about me?""Yes. He asked me to get you some food from the eatery since aunt would not let you leave the house" Felix explained, showing me the bag in his hand. "But I guess you don't need it anymore because you look fine to me" I quickly snatched the bag away from him. "What do you mean by that? Because I haven't eaten doesn't mean I should look like someone who is mourning. I'm from a middle class family remember? So I'm used to staying hungry"He studied me for a moment probably thinking if he could trust my words. Finally, when he seemed to be satisfied- he let out a deep breath. " Take care of yourself, I will be leaving now "He said standing up but I stopped him. " How can you just leave like that without thinking of a way to help me out of my predicament. I thought we're friends? " I pouted my lip.He gave me a surprised look. I'm sure he must be wondering why I'm so dramatic. He lets out a deep breath and sat back on the

At least not tonight" I pleaded. Gosh. What is wrong with me?He paused and looked up at me. "Wait. Are you jealous?" Alex asked with furrowed brows.I scoffed. "Why would I be jealous? I don't even like you" I challenged. I hope he believed it because that sounded false even to my own ears." Really?" He replied and slowly started walking towards me while I moved backwards, still wondering what had gotten into him.The more I walked backwards, the closer he came to me. My head snapped back to bravely glare at him. He seemed unfazed and amused with the corner of his mouth lifted up. I hated how he could make my stomach flip even with the sli

    Monalisa's POV I tossed and turned in bed, tired of hearing the chirping of the birds. As i turned to lay on my side, the blinding rays of the sun shot through the shades, hitting me right on the eye. Squinting, I stretched before pulling the duvet off my body. Next, I slipped my feet into my flops beside the bed, walked towards the window and pulled the shades open, taking in the sweet fragrance of the breeze that blew across. At that moment, my phone suddenly beeped. I hurried up to my dressing table and picked up my phone. It was from Kate;"It's been a while we had lunch together. Let's meet up at our favorite spot by 2"" Yeah. Okay " I replied. I was somewhat excited because at least now I got plans for the weekend and not sit around missing Alex.I had woken up to an empty bed this morning which wasn't unusual.

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.

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

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

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

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.
