1| It worked… I’m really pregnant

LISA “You are pregnant.” The doctor said it so simply that for a second the words didn’t even reach me. Then they hit all at once. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. I put my hand over my chest. “I’m… really?” I asked. “I’m actually pregnant?” “Yes,” she said. “The test is positive. Very early, but positive.” I nodded fast. “Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much.” My voice shook. I grabbed my purse and rushed to the door, almost tripping from how excited I was. It really worked…. I’m pregnant. I thought kept making me excited. But right when I pulled the door open, I slammed straight into someone’s chest. “Whoa… watch it Lisa.” the man said. I froze. My heart slammed into my ribs. “Adrian?” I whispered. He frowned a bit. “Excuse me?” “What are you doing here?” I asked, stepping back like I’d seen a ghost. “Why do you have a lab coat on? Since when do you work here?” He didn’t answer. His eyes looked down the hallway behind me, then he grabbed my wrist wit

2| My method of getting pregnant was all out of desperation

LISA “Hey you’ve been thinking all through the ride to my villa… you gotta stop stressing yourself Lisa I assure you…. you’ll never experience the life you had with Adrian anymore” I simply nodded staring at him, knowing fully well that living with Brian won’t be easy… I mean he’s the exact split of Adrian… The driver opened the door of the car and I stepped down. In no time Brian was in front of me as he led me into his home. He simply showed me my room, he knew I was in no mood for a house tour. The room was already prepared like he was expecting me already. I turned back, simply gave him a short smile before locking the door behind me. I still couldn’t get over all that happened today. My plan was just to confirm my pregnancy, and think of a way to tell Adrian about it but now… I’m beginning to think my method of getting pregnant was the worse mistake I’ve ever made. Ever since Adrian left me for that whore, I’ve never gotten my mind off him. Every minute of

3| Lisa is mine and brian will pay for this.

MONICA My phone began to ring nonstop, the loud sound cutting through my bedroom. I dragged my hand across the bed and grabbed it, sighing when I saw the name on the screen. **Lilian.** My little rat in white scrubs. I pressed the answer button. “What is it now?“ I asked, my voice sharp. “You better not be wasting my time.” Lilian sounded breathless. “Ma… ma, you asked me to watch Lisa, right? To tell you everything about her.” I sat up slowly, rubbing my forehead. “Yes. So talk.” There was silence for two seconds before she said the words that almost made my heart jump out. “Lisa is pregnant!!” I froze. “What?” I whispered, then louder, “What did you just say, Lilian!!?” “She’s pregnant ma. I saw the test results myself this morning.” I pushed my hair back with shaky fingers. I felt heat rise in my chest and anger burn in my stomach. “How… how is that even possible?” I hissed. “That useless girl? Pregnant? For who… don’t tell me it’s Adrian.” Lilian swallowed loudly. I

4| Fake dating rehearsal

LISAMy head was still heavy from yesterday. I sat on the edge of the bed for a while, rubbing my eyes gently. Then it hit me. The pregnancy. Brian. The hospital. I swallowed hard, reached for my phone, and dialed the doctor’s number. She picked up on the third ring. “Hello? Lisa?” I took a deep breath. “Doctor… I need a favor. A very big one.” Her voice softened. “Are you alright? You sound shaken..” “I’m fine,” I whispered. “I… I just need you to lie for me.” There was a long pause. “Lie… about what exactly?” she asked. “If Brian ever asks you about my pregnancy,” I said slowly, “please tell him it came… from IVF. Tell him I did IVF in the hospital. That it didn’t involve… anyone.” The doctor gasped a little. “Lisa… IVF? You want me to say that?” “Yes,” I said, voice breaking a little. “Please. I need him to believe it. I don’t want him or anyone to know the real way I… I…” My hand began to shake, remembering the stupid mistake that brought me here. The doctor sigh

5| The slap he deserved

ADRIANI shouldn’t have come here. But I had to gather all I need to win the bet anyways… I can’t let that Nerd of a brother win. He was always good in such games but this time…. I’m not giving him a chance. He has what’s mine. Such thoughts kept creeping in my head as I sat in my black SUV packed across the street, watching the big gate of Brian’s villa. I had no real reason to be here, No invitation. No welcome. No right. Or maybe it was my right as she is mine. And Lisa…She was supposed to be miserable without me. Lost. Crawling back eventually.Instead, she disappeared from my world and ended up here… with him…I tapped my fingers on the steering wheel, waiting…and watching.Then…The gate slid open.And my breath hooked for a second. It was her.Lisa.Walking out slowly, hands in her pockets, her hair tied up carelessly like she didn’t even try fixing it but still looked… like the Lisa I once owned.I held the steering wheel tightly, almost like my hand could melt it. She s

6| Monica

LISA The moment Brian’s car turned the corner and Adrian disappeared from sight, I finally let out the breath I’d been holding. Brian glanced at me. “Are you okay?” I snorted. “Oh please. After slapping him twice? I feel great.” I said which I wish my uneasiness would be noticeable. Brian chuckled, shaking his head. “You’re unbelievable.” “I know,” I said, leaning back. “But did you see his face? He looked like someone stole his last brain cell.” Brian laughed harder this time. “Lisa, he looked like he got hit by a bus. A very angry, very petite bus.” I grinned. “A Lisa-shaped one.” We both fell into a fit of laughter. When the laughter settled, Brian asked, “What restaurant did you want to go to again?” I pulled my phone out. “This one,” I said, showing him the screen. “ ‘Mira’s Garden.’ I found it online. They have really good reviews.” “Done,” he said, taking a turn. “I’ll drop you off and then go to the hospital. Emergency surgery.. the doctor meant to do it isn’t

7| How did the slap go viral ?

LISA It was morning already. I didn’t even need a mirror to know I looked like a raccoon after a flood. I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, unknowingly letting everything from yesterday slowly crawl back into my mind. Adrian. The slap. Mira’s Garden. Monica. Her words. People staring. My chest burning. And then Brian. Movie night. His silly comments. I exhaled shakily. “Great,” I muttered to myself. “Now I’m embarrassed about two different people.” My phone kept buzzing violently on the nightstand. I didn’t even need to check, I already knew who it was. Only one person called this early and this aggressively. Raya. I reached over and grabbed the phone. “Hello…” “DON’T ‘HELLO’ ME!” she snapped so loudly I jerked the phone away from my ear. I winced. “Good morning to you too..” “LISA CASTILLO.” Oh boy. Full name. That’s never good. “What the hell did you do yesterday?!” I blinked. “…define ‘what’.” “YOU SLAPPED ADRIAN. TWICE.” Ah. She found

8| Don’t forget I’m the boss here Adrian

**MONICA** I slammed my hand onto the table, making Adrian flinch. “ I SAID WHAT IS THIS?” I demanded, trying to hold back my anger a little before I’ll end up doing something stupid. He took a slow drag from his cigarette, blowing the smoke to my phone. “Calm down, Monica. It’s just a video.” “JUST A VIDEO?!” I shouted, leaning across the table. “You look like a fool, and now I look like a fool! Do you even realize this could ruin everything?” He raised an eyebrow, smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “Ruined what? Your precious fan base?” “Yes! Exactly that!” I snapped. “Do you even care how this looks to them? My fans could see this and think my fiancé is chasing another woman. And me, the public figure, the woman trying to keep a clean image.. here you are, caught on video, acting like some… some amateur action star!” He laughed, a low, dangerous sound. “Amateur? You’re overreacting. I didn’t care about the cameras. I only cared about Lisa.” I blinked at him. “WHAT?”

9| What’s wrong with Lisa ?

BRIAN “ Goshh my head hurts real baaddd” i yarned, stretching my hands and then placing them on my temples. I didn’t know how I managed to stand from my bed, but I knew my direction… Straight to the kitchen.Lisa always woke up early. Always made coffee so early.. I think I’m getting used to this at least. She tried to pretend she wasn’t sad. And even if she never said it out loud… I knew she hated feeling alone in the morning.So I walked in before even brushing my hair, but this time I wore a shirt… didn’t want her yelling this morning… she literally acts like a mom sometimes. And there she was.Standing by the counter, wearing an oversized sweater, her hair messy, humming some song under her breath while pouring coffee into two cups like she just knew I would show up anytime soon. “Does she time me ?” I muttered under my breath.She turned when she heard me.“Morning,” she said gently, handing me the cup she had obviously prepared for me.“Morning,” I muttered, rubbing my ey

10| My biggest fear

LISA My hands wouldn’t stop shaking. Even after Brian left for the hospital, my fingers still twitched like they remembered every word he said. “ People who do that… they deserve consequences.” Consequences. Punishment. I wrapped the blanket tighter around myself and buried my face into it. He had no idea No idea I did it. How will he react if he ever finds out I got pregnant illegally to get Adrian back. He’ll hate me for being that desperate… If he finds out…. He’ll leave me too… just like Adrian No! No! Nooooo! God. My stomach twisted so bad I thought I’d throw up. I didn’t mean to… All I wanted was to trap Adrian, so he’ll want be back. Brian wasn’t part of the plan… And Brian? Gosh!! I pressed a hand to my stomach, trembling. It was small. Barely a few weeks.“Should I abort it… ““ No no no… it’ll even make matters worse “ I ran my hands on my hair clearly confused. I should have just forgotten Adrian… I wouldn’t have been in such deep shit!!!“ Ray
