Lisa's POVI pulled open the double opaque glass door and froze at the sight in front of me - There stood Alex and his lip attached to Lena's. They quickly detached from each other. I swallowed hard and slowly walked into the room as the doors automatically shut behind me."Lisa" Alex spoke up, his voice indifferent. "What are you doing here?"Hearing him say that, made a pin prick my heart as I wondered if I really made a good choice by coming here.Lena took my silent fuming as defeat and walked closer to Alex as she put her painted green nails on his chest. "You again?" She cozied up to him as she smirked at me. "Why do you keep showing up to places where you are not welcomed"I can say the same for you. I wanted to say but instead, I ignored her. All I could focus on was Alex and he didn't do anything. He just stood there, stiff and not pushing the annoying woman away as he stared back at me."Alex.." My voice pleading. I was non verbally begging him to detach himself from the de
Monalisa's POVWe both slid out of the car. Alex had forcefully took me out of the house to have a meal with him which he titled - The last supper. Tsh. Sounds as if, someone was going to die soon."Come with me" Alex said and took my hand in his as we walked towards the garden.It was the popular Neville's garden for couples and other outdoor recreational activities. It is usually bubbling but strangely it looked so quiet and deserted today.He let go of my hand as we got to a table which was designed with flowers and candles, at the middle of the garden. Some covered glass plates were conspicuously placed on the table.Alex pulled out a seat and I sat down while he sat across. He looked so handsome this evening and his blue suit added to his beauty. When our eyes met, I quickly took off mine and ran it through the environment.The weather was so cool and the breeze caressed my delicate skin, scattering my long stubborn hair all over my face.He suddenly clapped his hand and a group
MonalisaI don't know how long I slept but I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm. I needed the help of the alarm to wake up so early today and leave the Marvin's mansion before everyone would be awake. I wasn't ready for any kind of drama.I stared at him from a distance as many thoughts ran through my mind. I couldn't believe that I will no longer be his wife again. I will no longer be able to see his face every morning as usual. Realizing that he doesn't have any feelings for me neither is he sad about my departure, hurts the most. As much as it hurts, I still want him to wake up and draw me into his arms and still tell me that he wants me. That I matter to him, that I have always mattered to him. But that will never happen because he is in love with Lena. I forced myself out of my thoughts and stood up from the bed with my eyes clouded with tears. I picked up already arranged traveling bag which I had dropped beside my bed, last night. I wanted to leave early so that when t
Monalisa" Oh I see. But how would you leave now that I know that you are carrying my grandson? " Anita smirked, waving some papers which looked like my pregnancy test.I took some steps backwards as my heart missed a beat. What the heck?. How did she find out?. "You must be wondering how I got to find out right?" She asked, reading my mind. "I have been noticing that you hardly go out or join us downstairs for breakfast. When I met you sick and vomiting in your room the other day, I began to suspect that you were pregnant."Just as expected, mothers would always suspect that their daughters are pregnant at any slight sickness that involves vomiting. Ugh. Why can't they just mind their freaking business. "My suspicions were confirmed when I stalked you and your friend to the hospital where you took the test. I bribed the doctor and he told me your little secret" I clenched my fist in anger. That stupid doctor. How dare him cross his boundaries and broke his customers secrecy policy
Monalisa He swallowed hard. " Yes I know. But after mum sent me a message that you are pregnant and about leaving, I was shocked and scared. A part of me wanted to run away from my responsibility but I just couldn't. How could I let my son go through what I did? - growing without the love of a father?. I just couldn't, so I rushed down here. Thank goodness, you haven't left. I would have regretted it for the rest of my life " He blabbed. I blinked my eyes as I struggled with mixed feelings. A part of me was happy that at least he didn't deny me nor our baby but the other part was sad that he only wants me back because of his baby and not because he loves me. " I'm sorry Mona. I know I'm have been so insensitive and had failed to realize that something was wrong amidst all the glaring indications. I'm sorry but please don't deny me my right of fathering my kids " He added before I could say anything. I let out a deep sigh. Why was he trying to emotionally blackmail me?. I'm definite
Mona's POV"I'm proud of you mum. I'm super proud of you" I whimpered. " Just don't overstress yourself and don't worry about me, I'm fine""Yes I know. Your mother in law assured me that they will do everything in their power to make sure that you and the baby will be taken care of. You don't know how much this makes me happy. "She whimpered. " I have always wished you don't go through what I did and I'm happy that the universe has granted my request. "She was now crying and I couldn't hold it anymore so I joined her. If only she knew that I was actually going through what she did. That her prayers weren't answered. That I was about leaving my husband's house few minutes ago." Hush baby. Don't cry, I wouldn't want my grandson to be ugly " She giggled and sniffed." Okay mum. I won't " I forced a cackle." My clients are here. I will hang up now and check up on you later "Before I could say " bye" she was already gone. I brought the phone off my ear and let the tears which I have b
Lisa's POVI walked to and fro the room with my hand on my waist. It's almost five hours that I woke up and yet Alex is nowhere to be found.Could it be that he had gone to see Lena?. Is this the reason why he forced me to stay here?. So that I can slowly grow fat and ugly while he goes outside to have fun with his hot and sexy Lena?. "That son of a bitch" I muttered under my breath. I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my stomach causing me to gasp. I must have stressed my body so much by walking up and down.I hissed depressingly as I sat on the bed and slowly rubbed my stomach. Just then, the door cracked open to reveal Alex." Mona. You're awake?" He asked." Yes I am. Why? You wanted me never to wake up right?" I growled." What?" He threw his head back surprised at my sudden outburst. I'm also surprised too. Blame the pregnancy for these mood swings."Where are you coming from?""The study room. I have been making research on how to take care of my pregnant wife and also be a good f
Alex's POVI turned restlessly on the swivel chair as many thoughts ran through my head. I still don't understand why Lisa is trying to push me away. I know I hardly spent time with her in the past but I'm trying to change but she is making things difficult for me.I thought she has always wanted my attention. What changed?. Does she hate me now?. Ugh. This is so frustrating. I shouldn't give a damn if she hates me or not. She is carrying my heir and that's all that matters. "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 was 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?" George, 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 sig
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
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
