Alexander's POV"Let go of me" Lena almost yelled and pulled her hand off mine, as soon as we got to a small tent which was some metres away from the garden."Come on baby. You can give me a hug now, I have really missed you"" Stop it Alex. Just stop it." She replied and adjusted back." What? Or didn't you miss me too?" I asked confused."Don't you think this is the right time to give me an explanation? How long have you been in love with her? " She fired with folded arms." Love? Yuck. I am not in love with her. I only got married to her because I had no choice and moreover, it is just a contract marriage."" Contract marriage? What do you mean by that? "I explained everything to her. "You might not fall in love with her but what if she does. I mean, it's the dream of every lady out there to be with you"" You don't have to worry, Monalisa is different. She hates the rich because of the bad past experiences she had with them. She hates me"Why does it sound sad? " It's a good th
Anita's POV" These are the pictures ma" John said handing over some pictures to me.John is a private investigator. I had hired him to go after Alex and monalisa and keep an eye over them. I don't know why but I just can't bring myself to believe that my son has finally gotten married. Alex has always said No to marriage whenever I brought the issue up but after his father threatened to transfer his share of the properties to his step brother, Alex suddenly brought back a lady home claiming to be married to her. Could it be that they are not truly married?No. I just hope my suspicions are wrong. And even if they are right, I will do everything in my power to make sure their marriage works. My poor son really needs a lady who would love him and teach him how to love.I let out a sigh. I brought out the pictures from the envelope. I couldn't help but to smile at what I was seeing. They looked so happy and cute together. I don't know why but I like this Monalisa and I feel she will m
Hana's POVI sat restlessly on the couch as I watch Anita put all her effort to make sure the house is beautifully designed to welcome the arrival of Alex and his wife.The duo had travelled to Chicago for a five days honeymoon and they are supposed to be back today. " Put the blue flowers here and the red ones over there" Anita instructed the maids. "Be careful, this flower jars are very expensive"Why is she acting as if the president of the country is paying us a visit. It's just the arrival of Alex and his middle class wife. "I want this house to smell nice, I don't want my daughter in law and his husband to be uncomfortable"When I couldn't bear it anymore, I walked over to Anita." What is wrong with you Anita? Monalisa should be the one doing this and not you" I said. She looked at me, surprised. " What are you saying Hana? She is just coming back from her honeymoon and needs to rest with her husband."" Why do you make it sound as if she has been working throughout her hone
Monalisa's POV"Why do I feel like your aunt hates me?" I complained as we both got into our room.Alex didn't reply, rather he sat tiredly on the couch and let out a deep breath. I hissed."First it was your girlfriend and now your aunt? What have I done to them?" " Lena? What did she say to you?" He asked. I knew it. He only cares about his stupid girlfriend."It is none of your business. Just tell her to stay out of my way or I am going to put her in her place" I spat, putting off my necklace, bracelet and earrings.He shrugged. "You ladies can end up killing yourselves, it is none of my business."Is he kidding me? " I have more important things on my mind; just like how to go to work tomorrow. I'm sure mum won't let me go" He added." Why?"" Isn't obvious? Because we just came back from honeymoon."" What? That can't happen. You have to leave the house tomorrow or we will end up killing ourselves" I shrieked.The room went quiet as we both think of a solution to our current p
Monalisa's POVI peered at the young lady in the mirror who was staring back at me with a beautiful smile on her face and I was satisfied with what I saw. I picked my bag and clacked down to make myself a coffee before going to meet Kate, my best friend. It has been a while we saw and I can't wait to tell her everything that has happened in the past few days.Mum wasn't in the foyer nor that witch called Hana. Thank goodness! I sauntered over to the kitchen, made my warm coffee and gulped it all down. How I love it's flavor!I always start my day with this coffee and I kinda believe that helps to make my day a better one, kinda childish right? I know.Just as I was about walking out of the kitchen, I collided with someone. "Sorry" I muttered. I looked up and to my disappointment it was Hana. "Are you blind? Huh? " She snarled."Sorry. It wasn't a deliberate action""Just shut up! I know you did it on purpose to spite me, you don't have to pretend" At this moment, I think I have ha
Monalisa's POV Kate let out a belch as she gulped down the orange juice. "Sorry" She said with a chuckle. I shook my head as I beckoned on the waiter to clear the table. We had both devoured every bit of the pancake such that not even a bit was found on the disposable plates."Thank goodness you are fine. I was almost thinking that something bad has happened to you." Kate whined." Sorry..I was so occupied with the honeymoon. Moreover, I wanted to surprise you" " It's okay. When will you introduce your husband to me? I have always dreamt of sharing a handshake with Mr Alex and I didn't know that my dream was going to be a reality so soon" She chuckled.I shot her a hard stare. " Don't you dare speak about that Alex with so much enthusiasm ever again! I hate him. We both hate the rich remember?"" Yeah i know. But my mindset has changed after watching you interact freely with me amidst your current high status. You have become rich but that doesn't mean you are also bad right?"" Don
Monalisa's POVI hissed continuously as I walked to and fro the room with my eyes glued to my phone's screen. I and Alex had agreed to pay my mum a visit today but it's already past six in the evening and he is not yet back home. He is not even picking my calls.Mum has been discharged from the hospital three days ago but I couldn't go to visit her because I don't know how I would explain things to her without causing her health to deteriorate. But I believe it would be better if I go with Alex at least that would be a prove that I am truly married. I know mum, she would never believe that I got married to a rich man until she sees it for herself - she knows of how much I hated the rich.I dialed Alex number again and this time, it was switched off. No! Alex can't do this to me. I really want to see my mum, I have missed her a lot.I dialed his number again and I got the same response; switched off. At that moment, I felt tears well up in my eyes as I fell on the bed. How can Alex do
Monalisa's POVI rolled weakly on the bed. Jeez! My stomach hurts. Why does it feel like I haven't eaten for years? Oh! I almost forgot, I missed my dinner yesterday because of that jerk. I ignored my rumbling stomach and forced my self to go back to sleep but sleep wasn't forthcoming rather I got weaker and hungrier each passing second.Just then, I perceived something. Pancakes. No! My nose must be deceiving me. I turned my face to the other side of the bed and the aroma seized for a moment but resumed again, more stronger.This definitely isn't a dream. I forced my eyes open and to my surprise; Alex was seated beside me on the bed with a tray which contained some plates on his hand. The plates were covered so I couldn't decipher what was in it. But I am so certain that the aroma emitting from the tray is that of my pancakes."Good morning wifey" He chuckled. I shot him a hard stare. Why is he acting weird? "Guess what? I prepared a surprise for you" He continued and opened the p
