It was 8pm at Monalisa’s mansion when Alora finally came back home.
"Where have you been, I was so worried?" Zoey asked immediately Alora walked in, "I went to the beach, this place was so suffocating, then I went to watch the street dancers, that's why I'm returning by this time" she calmly answered and made to go upstairs. "You sent one of my drivers to the hospital because he followed my orders, you even went out today despite the fact that you were clearly grounded". Monalisa said coming downstairs. "You keep crossing all the limits thinking I will not react right?". She asked, feeling really annoyed. Alora sneered softly and gave her a blank look before speaking up."You want to react? But I mean nothing to you, before you think of reacting, you should first explain who you are to me and how I am related to you and how it gives you the right to interfere in my life!". She yelled, making everyone pause, even the maids. "Auntie Zoey, you can come to my room when you are ready to hear about my day, I just don't get why you would let someone you hate so much bother you". Alora added and tried maintaining eye contact with Monalisa, but Mona quickly looked away making her smile. "See, you can't even look at me in the eyes, you can't even stand my eyes, gosh, why do I even care? I'm outta here". Alora said and ran upstairs, a loud bang was heard signifying that she locked her door. "What are you fools looking at?! Get to work". Monalisa yelled then came closer to Zoey. "Go make her happy". She said while Zoey nodded and ran to Alora's room, Her eyes turned from angry to sad. "I can't stand seeing him in you, I'm sorry". Monalisa muttered and left for her room. An hour later, you could hear loud giggles coming from Alora's room. "Stop laughing ". Alora rolled her eyes and made a cute pout with her mouth but it added to the things making Zoey laugh. "gosh, you must have been so irritated that he even talked to you right?". She asked while Alora rolled her eyes again, "Let's talk about something else, he's just too problematic for me to think about and I'm hoping we don't see each other again". Alora said, "Don't worry, you won't ". Zoey reassured her. They continued discussing, laughing and having a good time. A few hours later, Alora and Zoey already dozed off on her bed. Monalisa stood at the door, she seemed to have been watching them for a while. she walked up to Alora and planted a kiss on her forehead, then she tucked her in and adjusted her pillow, she looked at how Zoey arms were wrapped around her daughter and it made her bite her lips torturously before leaving the room, as she left, one of Zoey's eyes opened, she saw everything but pretended to be asleep, she rolled her eyes before cleaning Alora forehead like she wanted the kiss Monalisa planted to be gone, then she planted her own kiss on her forehead and hugged her tightly, resuming her sleep. ………… Next day "Um, Priyanka, I need you to give Mr Josh the key to the penthouse, yeah, Viva's exquisite Penthouse, he has some buyers that would love to tour around before deciding if they will buy it". Mona said as she came out of her room, she was on a phone call. "I won't be at the office today, I need to oversee the site work at Benson Villa, so make sure to call me one hour before the meeting I have with Mr Sky". She added as she came downstairs, as usual her maids all lined up with her morning coffee, she looked at them and walked away like they didn't make the coffee for her. "Marcus isn't at the office yet, I've tried his number but it's not reachable". Priyanka said over the phone. "I knew he wasn't capable of signing that deal, I'm sure he's chickened out. Just set up the application for a new PA and when I come to the office, a red wine should be brought to me". She chuckled before hanging up the call. "Finally got rid of him, he thinks he's so perfect "Monalisa laughed and got into her car, she remembered reading his resume, she took note that he was three years younger than her. "Why did you make me lie?"Priyanka asked as the call ended to reveal Marcus face, "Chill, yunno I love drama"he winked at her. ………….. [ELITE'S ESTATE] ~Monalisa's mansion Alora sat on the kitchen cabinet, rolling her eyes playfully while Zoey kept talking about all the reasons she shouldn't miss school, she was given two days suspension but she turned it into four. Zoey was making pancakes and they looked appetizing. "Yeah, yeah. I've heard you, I'll go tomorrow with Karen. We planned to leave together, don't worry she's coming tomorrow". Alora said as Zoey fed her some pancakes, then she drank her milk and burped cutely showing she's full. "Fine, I understand, but missing school for two days isn't good for someone who still wants to remain the topper of her class ". Zoey said while Alora groaned, "Auntie, I'm very smart. Even if I don't go to school for a whole month I will still top all my classmates because I always studied ahead," Alora reassured Zoey, making her chuckle. "Yes, miss smartie pants, I trust you but still I can't let you laze around all day so let's go to the library, I'll be your teacher for today". Zoey said while Alora jumped happily. "Yay, this is like home schooling, yippie". She danced around as they both left for the mini library in the building. The library isn't the only thing in the mansion, it has a swimming pool, a basketball court, a large dining hall, infact new rooms are discovered daily... It's really big.Dynamo Hall."So we are done with the necessary paperwork, and have agreed that the party will be shifted to next week so that Susanna will have more time to prepare". Mr Sky said as he drew the meeting to an end. "Okay sir, I'm leaving now". Susanna said as she walked away but not without glaring at Marcus."Ooh she's so mad". Priyanka muttered quietly and did a fist bump with him which made him grin.Without wasting time, they left the hall with Monalisa and got to the garage where they all entered Monolisa’s car. The drive back to the office was awkwardly silent for them as Joe was driving."Priyanka". Monalisa called from the backseat,"Yes ma'am". She answered. "What exactly is going on?, didn't you say that Marcus didn't come to the office today, why was he at the firm with us?"she asked while Priyanka stammered but Marcus interrupted."Ma'am I'm here,you can ask me. I didn't go to the office and she wasn't aware that I had sought things out with Mr Sky". He said,"Hmm, acco
"I worked hard for the money I own and all the wealth I've acquired, I don't depend on luck or any other crazy stuff you believe in, let me clear you on something, despite this little feat you've achieved, one thing is still crystal clear to everyone in New York, that I'm better than you, richer than you, more successful than you and even physically, I'm naturally endowed unlike some people who prefer plastic surgery"Mona replied."Leave my surgery out of this!!" Susanna yelled, already pissed and it made Monalisa smirk.Marcus and Priyanka stood at the back, watching the drama. Especially Marcus and he definitely was on team Monalisa."Gosh, why is this ride taking longer, the tension here is unbearable". Priyanka muttered inwardly and like the door heard her, the elevator stopped. Susanna stepped out first but stopped and faced Monalisa."You think you're a queen and so mighty because you're rich, I promise that I will get to your level soon and then we will know who's living a bett
[Florida]Barry sat on the couch going through his phone, while Stacia was ransacking her closet, she was doing it excitedly, she would come out to show Barry the things she picked."Hey babe, what of this dress? I should carry it too. umm, this boot looks cute, I'll add both, what of this hat? I love it, okay I'm definitely taking this". She danced around showing off the red gown she wants to take for their vacation to an absent minded Barry, she had to tap him before he jolted back to reality, his phone landed on the soft couch."Is anything bothering you? I've been talking to you but you aren't responding. You're so focused on your phone, is there an online scandal?" She asked worriedly."It's definitely not that. I'm just surprised at how excited you are to leave for New York, you were against it initially. Don't forget that we're going there for my basketball tournament.” He said, making her groan."That's in two months baby, till then aren't we supposed to have fun?"she pouted,

Zoey asked immediately Alora walked in,"I went to the beach, this place was so suffocating, then I went to watch the street dancers, that's why I'm returning by this time" she calmly answered and made to go upstairs."You sent one of my drivers to the hospital because he followed my orders, you even went out today despite the fact that you were clearly grounded".

Few minutes later, she came out in black joggers and a yellow crop top, facing the mirror again, she applied her lipgloss which made her pink lips very attractive and wore the golden necklace Zoey got for her, it had a bold inscription of 'ALORA' on it, then she packed her long brown silky hair and wore matching gold earrings and a bracelet, after putting on her black sneakers she looked at herself in the mirror, staring at her cat eyes, Monalisa doesn't have it so she was very sure she got it from her dad, then her attention went to her outfit, she sure looks like an adult so with her basketball in one hand and her hoodie and phone in the other one,she left the room."Take me to the city's basketball court". She ordered her driver, but he felt reluctant to move."I'm sorry young miss but your mom had ordered that you do not leave this house except you are going to school, besides, there's a basketball court here, there is no need for you to go out”. He explained, There was silence f
Three people could be seen on the dinner table, with maids serving the dishes and making their way to the kitchen."So how was my son's first day of work?". Polaria asked"It was better than I imagined, she's very interesting". Marcus replied as the third person cleared his throat, he's a teenager."What's it baby, are you choking?"Polaria asked worriedly and made her give him water."He's not mom, what do you want to say?". Marcus asked him."Well, Your boss's daughter goes to my school, we are friends though not that close". He smiled and said. "What's her name?". Marcus quickly asked"Alora". he said"Be careful around her, she must not know I'm related to you yet, her mother could find out”. He said and the boy nodded."Do stay away from her, I'm sure she's like her mother "Polaria frowned."She's not grandma, she's very nice and doesn't talk to everyone, I like her that way too". The boy said"Mum, you really have to stop thinking of Monalisa as a bad person ". Marcus said."I'v
