MasukLISA’s POVIt's been a while, right? Well, we have all been so busy with life but I never forgot about y’all my sweet ones. I was in bed trying to sleep but I couldn't, I could still hear my stepmother's words in my head and those of my sisters, it was ringing heavily in my head, and just then I heard someone call my name from outside and I quickly jumped up from the bed with my hands holding my chest like it was about to drop. “Ye.. Yes.. I am.. Ah fuck!”I exclaimed as I stood up from the bed and quickly put on my robe and rushed downstairs. They were seated on the dining table staring at me coming down the stairs like I was some sort of messiah. ‘This is all your fault, Mateo.. I wonder why he insisted I come here when he knows how they make me feel here.’I got down the stairs and flickered my lashes at them with a little smile.“Have your seat, my dear.”My mother said and she stretched forth her arm like she was about to help an old lady to her seat.‘Okay, what are all of th
MATEO’s POVI wasn’t expecting anyone so I initially thought that Royce was pulling my leg. “Royce, who is it at this time? I doubt that I'm expecting anyone because I am not. So, what are you up to?”I was still concentrating on getting my pancake ready. I just knew that I wanted to eat something, but there was no need to stress the chef out.“Sir, someone is really outside.. I'm not sure who it is though, I need to know if I can let the person in.”I nodded with a smile without looking back at him.“By the way, what are you making, sir? It smells good. Is Madam not home?”He wasn't there when we got back, so he had no idea.“Yes, she went over to see her mum, Royce, but she’d got some things for you and your family, you will get them tomorrow, alright?”He nodded and left quickly. I walked, stood by the door and he wasn't joking there was actually someone walking towards the mansion. It looked like a lady.“Lisa?”I said softly and rolled my eyes.“You can't stay a day without me,
MATEO’s POVI arrived back in New York with Michael.. I convinced Lisa to go visit her sisters and mother, on our way back. Pretty sure, y’all might be surprised about hearing ‘Mother and sisters’ for Lisa, but she has always had those, she just rarely went over there, but she went there mostly too. We hardly spent nights together. Her sisters do know me, but not her mum. I got to my room and I sat on the bed for a few minutes thinking about everything that had happened in the past few days.It was a lot.. Astrid confessed her feelings to me, found out about Mikey and Doug, and I think I feel the same for Astrid, but what to do with Lisa? That has been my biggest worry, because she has been nothing but an angel to me since the very first day, so it will be so unfair to just dump her for someone else’s wife..I groaned and rolled my eyes.“Fuck, fuck, fuck.. What’ve you gotten yourself into, boy? This ain't what you came to New York for, you fucking brat!”I exclaimed and groaned out
MATEO’s POVThey both stared at me and Douglas walked up to me and held my shoulders.“What is obvious?”He looked very serious and sharp like he had been caught with a body bag or something.“Wow, relax man.. Chill. You know me, huh? I don't judge.”I moved away from him, sat on the desk, and looked at both of them.“You both didn't really think I was going to find out, right? Nah.. How dumb do you both think I am? Mikey, this is from a place of love, okay? I know my brother well, and I know how he acts whenever he is..”“Mateo, what the fuck are you talking about? What are we doing?”Mikey asked defensively.‘Ah, for a second I forgot he's a lawyer.. He wants to intimidate me.’“Okay first of all Mr Mikey this ain't a court, so chill.. No need to raise shoulders.. We are also getting ready to leave, but I decided to speak to you both, Doug especially.”“We are listening.”Doug said and they both sat down quietly like children.“Douglas.. You are so used to punishing yourself wheneve
MIKEY’s POV“You do not have to worry about my love life, Zade.. I'm in full control of it, worry about yours! And you are wrong about one thing! I never tried to control or dictate your life..”“Mike..”“Listen to me!”, I snapped angrily at him, and then wiped my forehead then smiled at the curtains. “If anything then I think.. Nah, I know for a fact that I gave you too many chances, Zade and you know what you did? You fucked me up over and over again, and now that I think about it, I gave you so much leverage and you know why I did that? Because I loved your stupid dumb ass, but not anymore, so get the hell out!”I was so pissed that I had to control my tone.“Mikey..”“Mike, to you!”“I was naive then..”“Oh, please, do not come to me with all that sob story.. It ain't gon work on me, not anymore at least.. You had your chances, Zade.. You played with them, and now.. Nah, you are way too late.. I'm with someone who truly sees my worth..”“Douglas? You mean the same Douglas whose fa
DOUG’s POV“Were you expecting anyone?”I whispered to him and he shook his head aggressively. “Um.. I need to.. I will have to hide.. Right?”We both jumped off the bed with my heart racing.. I agreed to be official with Mikey, but not go public, especially not this way. I rushed to the balcony, but Mikey didn't look happy at all.“What is it?”I whispered as he followed me there.“Why are you hiding, Doug? Does it matter?”I rolled my eyes, but I wasn't angry, I was.. Not sure, but I thought I would be offended by the fact that he wants to go public, but I wasn't.“Mikey, not like this, okay.. Not this way, huh? Please..”I said softly and kissed his chin. He smiled a little and nodded.He walked away and I peeped through the curtains to see who it was.I just hoped it wasn't Mateo.. Ah, that boy is too smart and cocky to be deceived. Immediately he comes in he will sniff me out.Surprisingly it wasn't Mateo.. Well, I would have been surprised if it were him, because at that time,
