MonaI let out a deep breath as the car came to a halt before our mansion. I have been away for just five days and it feels like forever. We are finally done with the honeymoon charade and it's time to face reality.Alex got out of the car and held onto my hand. "We have to look like a happy couple who has just returned from their glorious honeymoon " He smiled at me as he led me into the mansion.As expected, Mum and Hana were in the large foyer waiting for our arrival. Dad must have gone to the office. The house was beautifully designed with balloons and a beautiful inscription that said "Welcome home"We had a little party where we talked and laughed about random stuff. After everything, everyone retired with a big smile and tired body.Everything went back to normal as the beautiful pictures managed to clear the dense air and make the public believe that we were married for real not because of any reason but because we were crazily in love with each other.Alex was still acting we
Monalisa Tears streamed down my eyes as I felt helpless. At that moment, the door was forced open. "Lisa. Surprise" A familiar voice exclaimed excitedly, barging into my office. I raised my head and my joy knew no bounds as I saw Alex staring at me with widened eyes."Alex" I cried.Like a wounded Lion, he got to us with five quick steps. He dragged me away from Felix's suffocating grip as I held onto my heart, breathing heavily."How dare you lay your hands on my wife?" Alex growled and landed a punch in Felix's face.Felix who was caught unawares, tried to retaliate but Alex dodged it and landed another blow on his lip which caused him to bleed. Before he could recover, Alex kicked him and this made him fall to the floor with a great thud.I felt so special watching him fight for me. I can't remember being protected or fought for. I have always been the one fighting for myself and it was so tiring. Alex looked so angry, like a lioness whose cub was hurt, and at that moment, I deci
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
Alex POVI stared angrily at the miserable looking lady standing before me, she was dressed in rags and appeared more like a slave. My slave!I held tightly to the belt in my hand as she gave me a pleading look."I'm sorry Alex, please don't hurt me" Monalisa cried, sweating profusely."Just shut up. Who gave you the right to spill out my name from your miserable mouth? "" I.. I'm... Sorry, Master"Master? I love the way that name sounds." Now go down on your knees and crawl to my feet" i bellowed and she obeyed immediately.Like a dummy she was, she fell to the floor and hurriedly crawled to my feet. I loved the feeling, the feeling of watching her helplessly lay at my feet. Just when I was about asking her to clean my feet with her hair, I heard a familiar sound causing me to open my eyes forcefully.
