My feet wouldn't let me stop as I ran out of his office and down the stairs. I couldn't tell how many I went down but finally, my tired legs stopped.

I crumbled to the floor and started sobbing. I'm so stupid. If only I had rejected him that night. I shouldn't have let my love for him blind me. But why is it so hard for him to love me back? What does that Lisa have that I don't?

My body racked as more sobs came. I was so angry, upset, sad, and hurt that I just couldn't think logically and rationally.

I blindly got out of the building. By the time I got to my car, I couldn't even remember how I got there. Did I take the elevator or the stairs?.. I couldn't tell.

I drove aimlessly and after what seemed like forever, I arrived home. I picked up my sunglasses and put them on as I trodded into the large foyer. Luckily, no one stopped me as I climbed up to my room.

I crawled onto my bed. I brought my knees up to my chin and hugged them tightly as I sobbed into myself. My voice sounde

    Mona Lisa My heart skipped as I realized how much I had missed this sound. I got up to leave and he seized one of my wrists. "Please don't go" His pleading completely stopped me in my tracks. "It's late"As if that was the real reason why I was leaving, I saw the clock on the nightstand and it said 11:50 pm."Please stay." He begged again. He wasn't the type to beg so I knew it was the alcohol talking. As I was having internal battles with myself on whether I should stay or not, he added. "I need you."That simple statement destroyed my resolve to leave. I sat back down as he tried to sit up and lean back against the headboard. I stood up and grabbed the lapel of his suit jacket with one hand and the end sleeve with the other." Here, let me help you take this off so you'll be more comfortable."He moved away from the headboard so I could take the jacket off and leaned back again, once I was done. I took off his shoes as well."My sweet wife," He said tenderly as I sat back down. T

    Mona Lisa I froze immediately. I have always heard that Alex's father was strict and harsh. My heart pounded heavily as I wondered what he was going to do to me for playing games with him."Welcome, Dad. Would you like to have coffee?" I asked, trying to lessen the tense environment.He hesitated. "No. I just came here to stare at you. I mean, I'm so impressed that I had to take away some time from my busy schedule to watch the lady who was able to deceive me for a good twelve months."I swallowed hard. He is really angry and none of this would be able to appease him. I guess I have to face the music now. I made a mistake and I have to own up to it.I gave myself many reasons to be brave but the thought of who Mr Marvin was, made my soft heart worry."I'm sorry Dad. I'm sorry" Was all I could mumble. I waited for him to reply but he didn't. Rather he kept staring at me. His eyes bored into my skin, making me uncomfortable and more worried.Was he thinking of the best way to kill me?

    Monalisa Alex let out a deep breath as soon as he was gone. He turned to me sharply. " You must feel so happy to go be with another man ". He said with gritted teeth. I could see the rage in his eyes. The old Lisa would have screamed and told him how much I wanted to be with him, him alone. But not anymore. I will give Dad's advice a trial. I have to find out if Alex loves me and the only way to do that, is to make him jealous. "And what if I do, do you have a problem with that?" " Yes, I do. I have a damn problem with that." He almost yelled. " As long as we still live together, I consider you as mine. And for the record, I don't like sharing what belongs to me with others"What has gotten into him? He doesn't want to put the ring on my hand and yet, he doesn't want to let go of me. Does he think I'm some kind of kid that he can control?"I'm not your toy. So I'll do whatever pleases me and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it" I sneered.He scoffed and slowly walked to

    MonalisaI couldn't continue anymore as tears freely flew down my eyes. Slut? Me?. I slumped on my couch as I felt my world crumbling and crushing before my face. I have become a joke. No one is talking about Alex, they're all focused on me. Why is society so messed up? I never threw myself on Alex, he was the one that came to me and not the other way round.I felt a hand on my back, I raised my head to see Alex staring at me with reassuring eyes. "Don't let what they say get to you. I will find out who is behind this and deal with them accordingly" He assured.Is he really this dumb or is he trying to be dumb? Apart from the family, the only person that knows that our marriage is a contract is Lena. She is the one behind this. She must have exposed my fake marriage just to get back at me."Take your hands off me." I almost yelled and pushed him away as he stumbled backward. "This is all your fault. You're the reason why all this is happening."He etched his brows in confusion. "Monal

    Alex My face lit up in relief as Monalisa slowly opened her bleary eyes. I got up from the sofa where I had been seated for hours watching her cute face and wondering how she would react to what I was about to tell her and hurried to where she lay and drew her up into my arms.Regret and guilt surged through my bones, I struggled to convince myself that I was not a bad person but just a young man who was struggling with scattered emotions. I can't believe I toyed with the feelings of two women. I have managed to let go of one and refused to let the other go nor draw her close. I would have gone for the latter but I was really scared.- scared of ending up like my parents.Mona let out a cough and that made me realize that I was holding her tight. Jeez. I almost choked her to death. I muttered a "sorry" and let go of her. She had an expressionless look on her face as she sat properly on the bed with her back resting on the wall behind her."Mona. How are you? Do you feel any pain?"S

    MonaJeez. What is wrong with me? I quickly brought up my hand to clean my tears. I shouldn't cry for him. I shouldn't be this weak before him. Unfortunately, the more I tried to clean my tears, the more they came rolling down.What is wrong with my stupid eyes? This must be the side effects of being pregnant. It must be.Alex walked up to me and sat down beside me on the bed. He held onto my hand as I looked up sadly at him. My heart etched to ask him what about me? I wanted to ask him why he wasn't bothered about my feelings. "I appreciate your concern towards trying to clear my name but I don't think I can agree to this marriage thing. I would rather bear with the bad reputation than get stuck in another fake marriage" I said through gritted teeth as I snatched away my hand from his." What?. Fake marriage? This isn't a fake marriage. It's a court marriage."" It doesn't matter whether it's a Court marriage or not. What matters is that you're not getting married to me because you

    MonalisaI rubbed my bleary eyes and sat up on the bed. I stretched my body and yawned simultaneously. It was finally morning and my joy knew no bounds. I barely managed to sleep last night as I kept thinking of today's journey. Alex had told me that we would be going for our honeymoon to make the marriage look more real. After posting our marriage pictures to debunk the news about me entering a contract marriage with Alex, the Netizens went quiet while some were wise enough to wish us a happy married life.I hope those jealous ladies die of a heart attack. Alex is mine alone.I stood up and got started for the day. I brushed my teeth and took my bath. It was a quick one as I scurried out, humming to my favorite hip-hop song."Just smile for me and let the day begin. You're the sunshine that lights my heart and day. I'm sure you are like an angel in the sky. Come, take my hands and together we shall fly"I changed into a blue jeans trouser and a white hoodie. I giggled happily and pac

    Mona We finally arrived at the penthouse. It was much bigger than I expected and was designed contemporarily. I didn't know Alex had such a property on the outskirts of the state.An elderly lady was already there to welcome us. The penthouse didn't look deserted, I guess Alex had given it to her to take care of it. She greeted Alex excitedly and he introduced me to her as his wife and introduced the elderly lady to me as Gloria- his mum's close friend. She hugged me briefly and accompanied me to my room. I heaved a sigh of relief and unpacked my bags. After finishing my nightly routine, I was extremely happy crawling into bed. Something about going to bed usually brought me joy and contentment. Maybe, it was the anticipation of a good night's sleep or tomorrow's new beginning that I always looked forward to the next day. Suddenly, there was a knock on my door followed by the turning of the handle. I turned to see Alex coming towards me. "Is something wrong?" I asked, unsure. "No"

    LisaI grinned as I pressed the red button. Let’s see how Alex reacts to this.After that drunken night, I realized something—Alex still cares. Beneath his cold, guarded exterior, he’s hurting just as much as I am. But he’s afraid;afraid to confront his feelings, afraid to let go of his fears. If jealousy is his weakness, then I’ll use it. It’s the only way to make him confront his feelings.I just hope it works.Kate, who had been carefully painting her nails, suddenly stopped and turned to me, her brow furrowed.“What?” I asked, feigning innocence.She scoffed. “Seriously? You’re really going this far just to make Alex jealous?”“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said, shifting uncomfortably.Kate slow-clapped, her smirk deepening. “Nice move, bestie. Really, top-tier manipulation. But what if he doesn’t come? What if he doesn’t even try to stop you?”That thought slammed into me like a freight train.What if he doesn’t come?. If Alex didn’t react, I would be doomed. St

    AlexFor the first time in weeks, I felt light. Like a weight had been lifted off my chest, allowing me to breathe again.I had spent too long fighting what I knew deep down to be true, drowning in my own fears, and pushing away the only woman who had ever looked at me like I was more than just a broken man. But today, that changed.Today, I was going to tell Monalisa the truth.A smile tugged at my lips, and despite my best efforts to suppress it, I couldn’t. The realization that I loved her- truly, madly, and without reason had settled in my bones, warming me from the inside out.But of course, Kelvin had to ruin my moment of peace."Alright, spill," he said, dropping his phone with a loud thud. His narrowed eyes locked onto mine. "What’s with the smile?"I barely glanced at him. "What do you mean?"He scoffed. "Oh, come on, Alex. You’ve been sulking since Monalisa left, acting like life has no meaning. Now, out of nowhere, you're all smiles? Something’s up."I hesitated. Should I t

    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.

    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
