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
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 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
Monalisa's POV I turned on the shower and let the warm water flow freely down my bare, tired body. I hope this helps! I hope this would aid to wash out the helplessness or should I say regret that I feel right now. I have been hiding in the bathroom for almost an hour. For a bride on her wedding night, that was at least thirty two minutes too long. I, Monalisa Lucas just got married to a billionaire! A billionaire! Was I supposed to be happy? Hell no! My new husband is from one of the most popular influential families in America and the heir to the Lucas empire. He is a freaking billionaire and I hate it. I hate billionaires. My new husband?.. None of this seems real. This should be a dream and I pray to snap out of this nightmare sooner than later or I would end up losing my mind. I had fantasized about standing at the altar beside him. I had dreamt of cooking him corn dogs and hot chilies - his favorite. I had imagined massaging his tired body each day he gets back from work a
Monalisa's POV A new day has dawned bringing with it dreams and aspirations. I rolled uncomfortably on the bed as I suddenly felt the reflection of the sun rays forcefully making it's way into the room and resting on my face. A loud hiss left my lips as i flipped over to back the sun's reflection, but i could still feel the heat. And angrily, i sat up to behold Alex. He was standing close to his wardrobe and fixing up his blue tie. He was already dressed in a black suit, looks like he is getting ready for work. Jerk. I thought he was going to become a little bit polite after allowing me sleep on the bed yesterday while he used the couch. But I was wrong, he would never change. "Hey! Why did you have to open the curtains? Are you blind or what? Can't you see that I am still sleeping?" I fired. " And can't you see that I am dressing up? Why should I care if you are still sleeping? " He snapped and bent down to wear his shoes. I shot daggers at him but decided not to speak further.
Alex POVJust a day into the marriage and it feels like hundred days in hell. I can't believe mum prohibited me from going to work all in the name of a stupid honey moon. I can't even imagine myself spending another day with this annoying lady, I have to think of a way to stop mum from booking any honeymoon tickets for us.This is all dad's fault, if he had not threatened to give my shares of the company to that bastard, I wouldn't have found myself in this miserable situation."Are you even listening to me?" Monalisa half yelled, bringing me out of my thoughts." Huh?""Oh I see. I am sure you are enjoying all this. Could it be you are the one that advised your mother to book those tickets for us? "I raised my eyebrows. " Jeez! Why would I do that? You are not even my type"She hissed.
Monalisa's POVAlex tapped his feet uncontrollably against the hard marble while I stomped angrily from the bed to the wardrobe and from the wardrobe back to the bed. Why is Alex mother bent on making life a living hell for me. She even went as far as booking one room for us.Why is she trying to push me closer to her annoying son? Gosh!The more I thought about it, the more I felt goosebumps all over my body.I shot Alex a stare. He was seated on the bed with his chin rested on his head, I felt my anger increase. Look at him sitting down there and acting as if nothing happened, I'm sure he must be enjoying this.I hissed and continued walking to and fro the room. My mother in-law will soon call us downstairs any moment from now, I have to come up with a quick plan to stop this suicidal mission."Hey! Can you stop pacing to and fro, I am already feeling dizzy" Alex h
Monalisa's POVThe car finally came to a halt before the magnificent building. My mother in-law had booked one of the best expensive five star hotel in Chicago."Are you planning on coming down today or do you want me to push you out? " Alex sneered.I gave him a hard stare before pushing open the car's door and stepped out. He came down too, brought out the bags and without saying a word to me, he walked into the hotel.I followed suit. As soon as the receptionist saw us approaching, she scurried over to us."Good afternoon sir. I have been.. sorry, I mean we have been waiting for your arrival. Welcome" The lady, grinned. She was dressed corporately in a short black skirt, white jacket and boots."My room please?" Alex said a bit curtly."Oh sorry. Please come with me"They both walked towards the stairca

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
