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.

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. But unknown to him, I know that his main reason for doing that is to push me away from his lovely wife and son. Well, he has invited me to spend some time with him. It's definitely going to be fun. "Dad, what of my brother? Isn't he coming to welcome me?" Oh, Alex? You know how he can be. I'm sure he must be busy with work, he will be here soon" Dad assured.Ugh. Always supporting his favorite son. "You look great son. I have really missed you. I even had to leave all my work today just to see how huge my son has grown to" Dad giggled.I huffed a laugh.

    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

    Alex's POVI thought he wanted to spend time alone with his son?. Who then is he waiting for?."Yes. He is here" Dad exclaimed, excitedly. I looked up to behold the least expected person. Louis, my stepbrother."You?" We both chorused.I quickly spring up to my feet. "What is he doing here Dad? How could you have invite him?""What kind of a question is that? He is my son just like you" I glanced at Louis and he smirked at me. " Then spend time with your loving son because I can't imagine sitting down on the same table with him" I said through gritted teeth and clenched fist.Louis scoffed. "Hello. I'm also not interested in having any form of reunion with you "Dad suddenly banged his hand on the table, causing us to flinch. " You both should sit down now"His voice was so loud and authoritative that we both sat down quickly without trying to oppose. Ugh. My day was going so well until this two came into the picture.Dad beckoned unto the waiter. "Take their orders""I don't want an

    Louis POV I finally brought my black Rolls Royce car to a halt as a lot of thoughts ran through my mind. Why does Monalisa want to see me all of a sudden? Could it be that she has finally understand that she is still in love with me and can't live without me as she has always said in the past. Or maybe, she wants us to elope together and get married.No. That can't happen. Yes I want her but I don't think I'm ready to get married.I quickly shook off all the crazy thoughts and let out a deep breath. I softly fixed my hair and took a glance at the car's mirror. I was satisfied with my look, she definitely will fall all over in love with me at first sight.I stepped out of the car and confidently walked into the eatery. I ran my eyes around the hall, searching for Monalisa. Many people were already settled, discussing, laughing and eating their food. I grinned as my eyes rested on Monalisa who was seated at a corner with her eyes fixed on her wristwatch. She must be worried thinking t

    Monalisa's POVI let out a deep sigh as I sauntered across the large foyer. It was already late and the maids seemed to be tidying up for the day. I walked up the stairs, hoping that Alex isn't home yet, what would I say if he inquires about my whereabout. No matter how nonchalant he tries to act, I'm sure he will not be happy if he finds out that I went to meet my ex boyfriend who happens to be his stepbrother.Humph. It will be best if he isn't home yet.Flipping my hair backwards, i pressed my hand on the door knob and pushed the door open. The room was barely lit with the light emanating from the bed lamp. I felt my heart missed a bit. Alex was back but why was he in such a dark room?.Not sure of what to expect as i walked inside the room, I suddenly felt a hand grab my arm and push me fiercely against the wall. I gasped in surprise as i watched his piercing green eyes stare intently at me, as though to peel my clothes off, layer by layer. Before i could comprehend what was happ

    Louis' POVI let out a loud hiss as I stared at my watch for the upteenth time. Lena had agreed to meet up with me today by 6pm and it's ten minutes past six already and she is nowhere to be found. I sat uncomfortably on the chair as I tried to resist the urge to stand up and walk away.Ugh. If not for what I want, I will definitely not be doing this. I make people wait for me and not the other way round.I was still lost in my thoughts when someone suddenly pulled out the chair across me and sat down on it.I looked up to behold Lena, she looked so relaxed and unperturbed. "Hey. Is this the time we both agreed to meet up?" I said through gritted teeth.She placed her expensive Chanel purse on the table then turned to look at me, "sorry about being late, I had some modelling work to finish up before I could head out"I scoffed. " Seriously? Are you trying to say that I am some kind of lazy man who has no work to finish up? Hello, you're talking to the director of one of the biggest co

    Alex's POVEverything went back to normal. After that night with Mona, I was scared that she was going to hate me. But I was wrong, she acted like nothing happened and we went back to being good friends. She is so kind hearted. I hope she gets a better man who would truly love and appreciate her. I chuckled and shook off the thoughts before going back to work. I went through the pile of documents on the table, inputting my signature where necessary and declining unprofitable proposals.Just then, the door cracked open to reveal Lena. She was dressed in a pink short gown revealing her perfectly carved hips and beautifully exposed cleavage. Everything about her was perfect. This must be the reason why I can't resist her. I looked up at her. There was something wrong with her eyes. They looked expressionless. She usually gives me such looks whenever she is sad or angry. I hope she hasn't find out my secret. I stood up and walked up to hug her but she stopped me. "Hey baby. What is w

    Lisa"Where am I?" My voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper. My head throbbed as I rubbed my sleep-filled eyes."You’re home," Alex said, his voice tense, like he was holding something back.I blinked at him, trying to focus. His brows were furrowed so tightly it was as if his entire face was carved from stone. I reached up, smoothing the crease between them with my fingertip. "Why the long face?" I giggled, my voice laced with exhaustion. "You look like someone stole your food or something."He didn’t laugh. Instead, his jaw clenched and when he spoke, his voice was low, almost shaking. "How could you do this to yourself? Lisa, you’re pregnant. You shouldn’t be drinking."I scoffed, rolling onto my side. "It’s not like you care," I muttered. "What are you even doing here? Shouldn't you be with her?""Don't," he snapped, his tone sharp enough to slice through the fog in my brain. "Don't say her name."I snorted, unimpressed. "Why not? Afraid of feeling guilty?"He exhaled heavily,

    LisaI swallowed hard as camera flashes exploded around me, the chaotic voices of reporters blending into a deafening roar. Their aggressive questions cut through the thick air, but I barely registered them. My heart pounded in my chest, and I felt suffocated. Strong hands, ones I didn’t recall summoning, kept the press at bay, shielding me from the frenzy."Is it true that you and Alexander aren't together anymore?""We noticed renovations at your shopping mall. Are you repurposing it?"My throat tightened. Alex’s parents hadn’t just handed me major shares in their company, they had bulldozed my shopping mall and erected something bigger.I hesitated before stepping closer, knowing that the only way to get rid of them was to give them something. “Firstly,” I started, keeping my voice steady, “my shopping mall will remain. I’m simply adding a confectionery section. As for Alex and me…” I exhaled. “We are still together.”Silence. Then, a hand shot up. A woman with perfectly curled blo

    MonaLisa “How do I look, Kate? Do you think they’ll believe me?” I asked for the third time, adjusting the disheveled strands of my hair in the mirror.Kate hesitated, her lips pursed as she studied my reflection. Then she smirked. “If I didn’t live with you and hadn’t seen firsthand how you prance around like a woman without a care in the world, I would actually feel sorry for you right now.”I arched a brow. “Really?”She folded her arms, feigning deep thought. “Mhm. You look like a woman who just escaped from a psychiatric hospital. So yeah, I think they’ll fall for your drama.”A slow grin spread across my lips. “Finally.”I turned back to the mirror for one last glance, and for a second, even I barely recognized myself. After watching hours of makeup disguise tutorials, I had managed to perfect the art of looking like a woman drowning in despair. The smudged mascara and the streaks of smeared eyeliner created the illusion of swollen, tear-ravaged eyes. My tangled hair, barely he

    AlexI dragged my feet into my room, each step heavier than the last, and slumped onto the cold, hard floor. Monalisa is gone.Isn’t this what I always wanted? To be free? To finally breathe without the weight of a marriage I never truly surrendered to? No more obligations. No more expectations. Then why does my chest feel like it’s caving in? Why does my heart ache as if she took a part of me with her?. I clenched my fists, inhaling sharply. I hate this feeling.I ran a hand through my hair, gripping the strands, trying to keep myself together. My thoughts were spiraling, threatening to consume me, but before I could sink further, a knock sounded at the door."Come in," I hoarsed.The door creaked open, and there she stood- Nanny Dora. In her hands, a silver tray balanced a crystal glass and a bottle of whiskey. Exactly what I needed.She walked toward the nightstand, but I stopped her before she could place it down."Bring it here," I muttered.She hesitated, her gaze scanning my d

    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
