A young flirty billionaire who doesn't believe in love nor marriage is forced to look for a temporary bride when his father threatened to give his shares of the company to his step brother if he doesn't get married within two months. After much search, the only lady he deemed fit to be his contract bride was Monalisa Jacobs. A middle class beautiful and brave young lady who grew up in the streets and had developed slight hatred for the rich due to her past experience with them. Rest assured that she can never fall in love with him, Alexander decided to sign a fake marriage contract with Monalisa who needed money to treat her sick mother. Alexander and monalisa pretended to be a lovely couple outside but deep down in their hearts, they couldn't wait to break off the contract. Two weeks towards the end of the contract, monalisa suddenly announced to Alexander the worst news he had ever received in his life; "I am pregnant for you"
View MoreMonaJeez. What is wrong with me? I quickly brought up my hand to clean my tears. I shouldn't cry for him. I shouldn't be this weak before him. Unfortunately, the more I tried to clean my tears, the more they came rolling down.What is wrong with my stupid eyes? This must be the side effects of being pregnant. It must be.Alex walked up to me and sat down beside me on the bed. He held onto my hand as I looked up sadly at him. My heart etched to ask him what about me? I wanted to ask him why he wasn't bothered about my feelings. "I appreciate your concern towards trying to clear my name but I don't think I can agree to this marriage thing. I would rather bear with the bad reputation than get stuck in another fake marriage" I said through gritted teeth as I snatched away my hand from his." What?. Fake marriage? This isn't a fake marriage. It's a court marriage."" It doesn't matter whether it's a Court marriage or not. What matters is that you're not getting married to me because you
Alex My face lit up in relief as Monalisa slowly opened her bleary eyes. I got up from the sofa where I had been seated for hours watching her cute face and wondering how she would react to what I was about to tell her and hurried to where she lay and drew her up into my arms.Regret and guilt surged through my bones, I struggled to convince myself that I was not a bad person but just a young man who was struggling with scattered emotions. I can't believe I toyed with the feelings of two women. I have managed to let go of one and refused to let the other go nor draw her close. I would have gone for the latter but I was really scared.- scared of ending up like my parents.Mona let out a cough and that made me realize that I was holding her tight. Jeez. I almost choked her to death. I muttered a "sorry" and let go of her. She had an expressionless look on her face as she sat properly on the bed with her back resting on the wall behind her."Mona. How are you? Do you feel any pain?"S
MonalisaI couldn't continue anymore as tears freely flew down my eyes. Slut? Me?. I slumped on my couch as I felt my world crumbling and crushing before my face. I have become a joke. No one is talking about Alex, they're all focused on me. Why is society so messed up? I never threw myself on Alex, he was the one that came to me and not the other way round.I felt a hand on my back, I raised my head to see Alex staring at me with reassuring eyes. "Don't let what they say get to you. I will find out who is behind this and deal with them accordingly" He assured.Is he really this dumb or is he trying to be dumb? Apart from the family, the only person that knows that our marriage is a contract is Lena. She is the one behind this. She must have exposed my fake marriage just to get back at me."Take your hands off me." I almost yelled and pushed him away as he stumbled backward. "This is all your fault. You're the reason why all this is happening."He etched his brows in confusion. "Monal
Monalisa Alex let out a deep breath as soon as he was gone. He turned to me sharply. " You must feel so happy to go be with another man ". He said with gritted teeth. I could see the rage in his eyes. The old Lisa would have screamed and told him how much I wanted to be with him, him alone. But not anymore. I will give Dad's advice a trial. I have to find out if Alex loves me and the only way to do that, is to make him jealous. "And what if I do, do you have a problem with that?" " Yes, I do. I have a damn problem with that." He almost yelled. " As long as we still live together, I consider you as mine. And for the record, I don't like sharing what belongs to me with others"What has gotten into him? He doesn't want to put the ring on my hand and yet, he doesn't want to let go of me. Does he think I'm some kind of kid that he can control?"I'm not your toy. So I'll do whatever pleases me and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it" I sneered.He scoffed and slowly walked to
Mona Lisa I froze immediately. I have always heard that Alex's father was strict and harsh. My heart pounded heavily as I wondered what he was going to do to me for playing games with him."Welcome, Dad. Would you like to have coffee?" I asked, trying to lessen the tense environment.He hesitated. "No. I just came here to stare at you. I mean, I'm so impressed that I had to take away some time from my busy schedule to watch the lady who was able to deceive me for a good twelve months."I swallowed hard. He is really angry and none of this would be able to appease him. I guess I have to face the music now. I made a mistake and I have to own up to it.I gave myself many reasons to be brave but the thought of who Mr Marvin was, made my soft heart worry."I'm sorry Dad. I'm sorry" Was all I could mumble. I waited for him to reply but he didn't. Rather he kept staring at me. His eyes bored into my skin, making me uncomfortable and more worried.Was he thinking of the best way to kill me?
Mona Lisa My heart skipped as I realized how much I had missed this sound. I got up to leave and he seized one of my wrists. "Please don't go" His pleading completely stopped me in my tracks. "It's late"As if that was the real reason why I was leaving, I saw the clock on the nightstand and it said 11:50 pm."Please stay." He begged again. He wasn't the type to beg so I knew it was the alcohol talking. As I was having internal battles with myself on whether I should stay or not, he added. "I need you."That simple statement destroyed my resolve to leave. I sat back down as he tried to sit up and lean back against the headboard. I stood up and grabbed the lapel of his suit jacket with one hand and the end sleeve with the other." Here, let me help you take this off so you'll be more comfortable."He moved away from the headboard so I could take the jacket off and leaned back again, once I was done. I took off his shoes as well."My sweet wife," He said tenderly as I sat back down. T
LenaMy feet wouldn't let me stop as I ran out of his office and down the stairs. I couldn't tell how many I went down but finally, my tired legs stopped.I crumbled to the floor and started sobbing. I'm so stupid. If only I had rejected him that night. I shouldn't have let my love for him blind me. But why is it so hard for him to love me back? What does that Lisa have that I don't? My body racked as more sobs came. I was so angry, upset, sad, and hurt that I just couldn't think logically and rationally.I blindly got out of the building. By the time I got to my car, I couldn't even remember how I got there. Did I take the elevator or the stairs?.. I couldn't tell. I drove aimlessly and after what seemed like forever, I arrived home. I picked up my sunglasses and put them on as I trodded into the large foyer. Luckily, no one stopped me as I climbed up to my room.I crawled onto my bed. I brought my knees up to my chin and hugged them tightly as I sobbed into myself. My voice sounde
LenaI let out a deep breath as I pulled up my car before the huge building - my boyfriend's company. For the past few weeks, Alex has not checked up on me nor is he picking up my calls. This is very unlike him and it makes me wonder if everything is alright.I stepped out of my car and picked up the glass-framed picture of I and Alex looking all sweet and happy. I don't know why he's avoiding me but I will surprise him with this and confess my feelings to him.This is probably one of the hardest decisions I have ever made but I have no choice. I know Alex doesn't believe in love but I can't continue pretending that I haven't fallen for him- He at least deserves to know the truth.I walked through the glass door into the ever-busy hall with a big smile on my face. As soon as the nosy employees saw me, they greeted me. The naive ones slightly bowed while the brave ones muttered a loud "Good morning".I just nodded at them as I got into the elevator. Each step I took towards Alex's offi
AlexI let out a deep sigh of relief as I brought the car to a halt before my mansion."We're here" I announced, taking off my seat belt. I didn't get any reply from her so I turned to see her sleeping peacefully like a three year old with her head rested on the comfy chair."I can't believe this" I chuckled as my heart warmed up at the image. God! She was beautiful - her long brown hair fanned out around her and her pink lips slightly parted as if waiting to be kissed.I got closer and bent over her as I gazed at her a little longer. I have been thinking a lot about her lately. I've gotten so used to seeing her that sometimes I wished she works in my company. And each time I lay my eyes on her, there is this strong urge to let down my guards and give her full access to my heart."Could this be love?" A voice in my head said.I quickly shook the thoughts away. Love? It can't be possible. How can I possibly fall in love?. No. That can't be possible. I guess I'm only feeling this way be
