Alex's POV

I 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.

    Anita's POVI was busy enjoying a good massage from one of the helpers when we suddenly heard a knock on the door."Who is there?" I asked."It's me mum" Alex? 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

    Monalisa's POVI looked at his phone screen and to my disappoinment, it was Lena calling. Why does this witch always interfere during my happy moments with my husband and always end up ruining it.Before I could do anything, Alex snatched the phone away from me and was about dialing the green button when I stopped him."Please don't pick the call. 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. However, I was quite disappointed at not being able to see him before he left. It's two months now since my relationship with Alex got better. We have gone from ene

It's been almost a year since I left for Dubai to spend some time with my mum who lives there and also manage one of dad's company over there.He had handed over the immature company to me and requested that I grow it and prove that I can manage his properties.

    Alex's POV I turned restlessly on the swivel chair as the thought of Louis being Monalisa's ex boyfriend ran through my mind. As much as I tried to shake away the thought, I kept on imagining what might happen when those two are left alone in such a big house. I sighed exasperatedly and closed my eyes as I ran my hand through my hair. Why does it have to be Louis of all people? . I know Monalisa claims not to have feelings for Louis but what if Louis still do? What if he decides to woo her again and she ends up falling in love with him again. And probably, they will get married and she will become my sister in law. Ugh. This is crazy. I shook off the scary thoughts. Just then, the door cracked open to reveal Lena. I sat up from my chair as my heart raced with joy. She is definitely a cure to my troubled mind right now. I chuckled and walked up to her with an outstretched hand, expecting her into hug me tightly as usual but to my surprise, she shot me a disapproving frown and wal

    LisaThe soft hum of the city outside was drowned by the rhythmic breathing of my sleeping angel. With a cup of milkshake in hand, I tiptoed into the nursery, where the golden morning light painted warm hues across the walls. My little prince lay peacefully in his crib, his tiny fingers curled into loose fists, his delicate lashes fanning over his rosy cheeks. It had only been a few minutes since I left him to make my drink, yet it felt like I had been away for hours.A soft smile stretched across my lips as I leaned over, my heart swelling with indescribable love. Gently, I ran a finger down his velvety cheek, memorizing every inch of his perfect face, his button nose, the tiny lips that occasionally puckered in his sleep. He had his father’s sharp features, but his deep brown eyes were unmistakably mine.The nursery, adorned with plush animals and a celestial-themed mobile, carried the faint scent of baby powder and lavender, creating a cocoon of warmth and tranquility. Alex had gon

    LisaDays blurred into weeks, and weeks melted into months. My mother had returned to her hotel in California, the one Alex had set up for her, and transformed it into a thriving five-star establishment. She had always been a force to reckon with, turning every opportunity into something grand. My father, on the other hand, had vanished from my life. A part of me wanted to care, but every time that feeling surfaced, I quickly buried it under a mountain of reasons why he didn’t deserve my concern. Maybe pregnancy had softened my heart, but not enough to forgive a man who had only ever brought me pain.A warm arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me from my storm of thoughts. Gentle fingers caressed my swollen belly, sending waves of warmth through me. I inhaled deeply, recognizing the intoxicating scent of Alex’s cologne before his lips brushed against my ear."What’s troubling my beautiful wife?" His deep voice sent a delicious shiver down my spine.Even after all this time, he still h

    LisaA sharp vibration in my palm pulled me from my thoughts. My phone had beeped. A message from Alex."They're here."A slow smirk curved my lips before I quickly wiped it away, returning to my somber expression. The real show was about to begin.Donald’s eyes pleaded with me, his voice shaking under the weight of regret. "I'm really sorry, dear. I didn’t mean to hurt you and your mother."I let out a bitter chuckle, folding my arms. "You didn’t mean to hurt us?" I repeated, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "That’s the best you can come up with? You knew we had nothing. You knew how helpless we were, yet you still left. You abandoned my mother—the woman who stood by you when you had nothing—just to chase after another woman’s wealth. Tell me, Donald, did you hate us that much?"His eyes widened in panic. "No, I don’t! I never did! I love you and your mother. I just...""To hell with your love." My voice rose, my breath shaky as emotions surged through me. "If you cared about us like

    LisaMy heels clicked against the polished marble floor as I stepped into the grand hotel lobby. The air was crisp with the scent of expensive cologne and freshly brewed coffee, but even that couldn’t calm the storm raging inside me. I had agreed to meet Mr. Donald, yet with every step toward the room, my heart pounded harder against my ribcage.I had seen him countless times on television, and every time, all I felt was raw, unfiltered hatred. So why was today different? Was it because I would finally see him in person, just the two of us, no cameras, no distractions?I swallowed hard. God, I wish Alex was here. If only he could hold my hand, tell me I’d be alright. But no, I needed to do this alone.A poised young woman in a crisp uniform approached me, her smile polished and professional."Mrs. Marvins, I presume?" Her voice was smooth, almost too welcoming.I nodded."Welcome, ma'am. Please come with me. Mr. Donald has been waiting for you." She gestured toward the stairs, leading

    AlexThe tension in the room was suffocating. Monalisa paced back and forth across my study, her heels clicking sharply against the polished floor. Her brows were furrowed, her expression unreadable. The silence stretched between us like a taut rope, ready to snap at any moment.I shifted uneasily in my chair, my fingers gripping the armrests. She had just told me about her confrontation with Lena, about the outrageous claim that she was pregnant with my child. But that was impossible. I had never once had unprotected sex with Lena. So how in the world could she be carrying my child?My jaw clenched as frustration surged through me. This is not right. I hissed under my breath, running a hand through my hair. Why did this have to happen now? Just when things were finally getting better between Monalisa and me?I could feel the storm brewing in the air. Monalisa abruptly stopped pacing and turned to glare at me. My heart pounded. The weight of her gaze was heavier than any accusation sh

    DonaldI ran my hand through my hair for what felt like the hundredth time, frustration twisting my gut. How had things gone so wrong? For years, I had considered Mr. Marvin a friend but all this time, he had been nothing more than a snake, lurking in the grass, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.Days ago, my financial secretary called, his voice laced with urgency, to inform me that the Marvins had suddenly withdrawn their shares. Just like that, without warning. And the timing couldn't have been worse. We were in the middle of production for our latest car model. The betrayal hit me like a punch to the gut.Fuming, I had immediately reached out to Mr. Marvin, demanding an explanation. But his response was as cold as ice. “Speak to my daughter-in-law. She’s in charge now.”The audacity.I thought we were about to become family. And yet, they had discarded me like a piece of trash the moment they saw fit. I should have seen this coming. Maybe if I had learned my lesson when the

    Lisa"Are we going to your summer house?" I asked, my voice laced with excitement.Alex nodded, and I gasped, my heart skipping a beat."But how did you know?" he asked, his brows drawing together in confusion.I sucked in a sharp breath. I wasn’t supposed to say that out loud.The truth was, I had seen it in his childhood diary, the one where he poured out his innocent dreams before the world turned him cold. In one of the pages, he had written about building a summer house, a place where he would escape with his Cinderella, the one woman who would truly belong to him. I had wondered what could have happened to that hopeful little boy to make him grow into the ruthless man he had become.But I couldn’t tell him that. He wouldn’t take it well."I… I just made a guess," I improvised quickly. "I mean, if you can have a penthouse, then you should also have a summer house, right?"It sounded weak, even to my own ears, but I prayed he wouldn’t press further.Alex studied me for a moment be

    LisaI still couldn't believe it—this was Alex, the same cold-hearted man who once made me cry myself to sleep every night. Now, he was spoiling me with gifts, affection, and surprises. It was almost too good to be true.Today, he had suddenly asked me to step out with him. I had no idea what he had planned, but I didn’t care. As long as I was with him, I knew it would be worth it. I grabbed my bag, ensuring I had everything I might need, and hurried out to meet him.Sliding into the luxurious black Rolls Royce, I fastened my seatbelt and turned to him, excitement bubbling in my chest. “So, where are we going?” I asked eagerly.He chuckled, his deep voice sending a shiver down my spine. “It’s a surprise. You’ll find out soon enough.”I leaned back, observing him as he started the car. My husband. The word still felt surreal. Dressed simply in a fitted red t-shirt, blue jeans, and a black cap, he exuded effortless charm. Even if he wore a trash bag, I was sure he’d still look devastati

    LisaI reached out in my half-asleep daze, expecting the comforting warmth of Alex’s chest beneath my cheek, only to find… nothing.My fingers brushed against the cold sheets where he should have been. My heart stilled. My eyes snapped open.The other side of the bed was empty.I sat up, my mind racing as a sense of déjà vu hit me like a wave. The night before had been magical—his hands on me, his whispers against my skin, the way he held me like I was the only thing that mattered in his world. Had it all been a dream?I swallowed hard, glancing down at myself. I was still naked, my nightgown neatly folded beside me on the bed, just as he had done the last time.The last time…A bitter chill crept into my veins as the memories crashed over me. Waking up happy, only to be shattered by his cold words."It was a mistake, Lisa."I had spent days convincing myself that this time was different, that he had changed, that I meant more to him now. But what if I was wrong?"You’re a fool, Lisa,
