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 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 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

Alexander's POVAfter watching Mona as I usually call her cry to sleep last night, I couldn't help but to feel guilty. I laid down on the couch to sleep but sleep was very far away from me.She really must have missed her mum and I totally understand that feeling. During my early years, mum and dad were the busy types. They hardly spent time with me and I was left alone in the caring hands of my grandmother who died few years ago.I was pampered by my grandmother and she made sure I got whatever I wanted. She would shout at my parents for scolding me and even threatened to close down one of the high school I attended because a teacher scolded me badly. After much drama, my grandma spared her because she was just newly employed and doesn't know the rules.Although my grandma did everything to make me happy, I still missed my parents; most especially my mum. I would always silently cry to sleep each night, hoping that a day would come when she would sing lullabies and cuddle me to sleep

Monalisa's POVMum's hug felt so warm. And that moment, all the memories I have spent with her began running back and It struck me so hard that I am not going to see her every day nor hug her until my heart's content."What is wrong Lisa? Why are you crying?" Mum asked and broke the hug. " I have missed you so much, mum" I cracked." I missed you too my child. It's so good to see you again" She smiled and used her hand to wipe my tears. I couldn't help but to smile."But why are you in the kitchen? I thought the doctor said you should take some rest" I scolded and made to call the maids but she stopped me."Why are you acting as if you care?" Mum snarled." Huh?" I exclaimed and turned to her shocked."You this spoilt brat! How could you not pay your sick mum a visit for almost a month. For a moment, I was scared that you have forgotten me and has run away with a rich man" " What? How could you think of such a thing mum?.. I didn't mean.. "" How could you be so good with predicting
