Monalisa's POV I raised my eyebrows. "Alex is worried about me?""Yes. He asked me to get you some food from the eatery since aunt would not let you leave the house" Felix explained, showing me the bag in his hand. "But I guess you don't need it anymore because you look fine to me" I quickly snatched the bag away from him. "What do you mean by that? Because I haven't eaten doesn't mean I should look like someone who is mourning. I'm from a middle class family remember? So I'm used to staying hungry"He studied me for a moment probably thinking if he could trust my words. Finally, when he seemed to be satisfied- he let out a deep breath. " Take care of yourself, I will be leaving now "He said standing up but I stopped him. " How can you just leave like that without thinking of a way to help me out of my predicament. I thought we're friends? " I pouted my lip.He gave me a surprised look. I'm sure he must be wondering why I'm so dramatic. He lets out a deep breath and sat back on the

Monalisa's POV I tossed and turned in bed, tired of hearing the chirping of the birds. As i turned to lay on my side, the blinding rays of the sun shot through the shades, hitting me right on the eye. Squinting, I stretched before pulling the duvet off my body. Next, I slipped my feet into my flops beside the bed, walked towards the window and pulled the shades open, taking in the sweet fragrance of the breeze that blew across. At that moment, my phone suddenly beeped. I hurried up to my dressing table and picked up my phone. It was from Kate;"It's been a while we had lunch together. Let's meet up at our favorite spot by 2"" Yeah. Okay " I replied. I was somewhat excited because at least now I got plans for the weekend and not sit around missing Alex.I had woken up to an empty bed this morning which wasn't unusual. However, I was quite disappointed at not being able to see him before he left. It's two months now since my relationship with Alex got better. We have gone from ene

Alex's POV I turned restlessly on the swivel chair as the thought of Louis being Monalisa's ex boyfriend ran through my mind. As much as I tried to shake away the thought, I kept on imagining what might happen when those two are left alone in such a big house. I sighed exasperatedly and closed my eyes as I ran my hand through my hair. Why does it have to be Louis of all people? . I know Monalisa claims not to have feelings for Louis but what if Louis still do? What if he decides to woo her again and she ends up falling in love with him again. And probably, they will get married and she will become my sister in law. Ugh. This is crazy. I shook off the scary thoughts. Just then, the door cracked open to reveal Lena. I sat up from my chair as my heart raced with joy. She is definitely a cure to my troubled mind right now. I chuckled and walked up to her with an outstretched hand, expecting her into hug me tightly as usual but to my surprise, she shot me a disapproving frown and wal

Alex's POVI thought he wanted to spend time alone with his son?. Who then is he waiting for?."Yes. He is here" Dad exclaimed, excitedly. I looked up to behold the least expected person. Louis, my stepbrother."You?" We both chorused.I quickly spring up to my feet. "What is he doing here Dad? How could you have invite him?""What kind of a question is that? He is my son just like you" I glanced at Louis and he smirked at me. " Then spend time with your loving son because I can't imagine sitting down on the same table with him" I said through gritted teeth and clenched fist.Louis scoffed. "Hello. I'm also not interested in having any form of reunion with you "Dad suddenly banged his hand on the table, causing us to flinch. " You both should sit down now"His voice was so loud and authoritative that we both sat down quickly without trying to oppose. Ugh. My day was going so well until this two came into the picture.Dad beckoned unto the waiter. "Take their orders""I don't want an

Monalisa's POVI let out a deep sigh as I sauntered across the large foyer. It was already late and the maids seemed to be tidying up for the day. I walked up the stairs, hoping that Alex isn't home yet, what would I say if he inquires about my whereabout. No matter how nonchalant he tries to act, I'm sure he will not be happy if he finds out that I went to meet my ex boyfriend who happens to be his stepbrother.Humph. It will be best if he isn't home yet.Flipping my hair backwards, i pressed my hand on the door knob and pushed the door open. The room was barely lit with the light emanating from the bed lamp. I felt my heart missed a bit. Alex was back but why was he in such a dark room?.Not sure of what to expect as i walked inside the room, I suddenly felt a hand grab my arm and push me fiercely against the wall. I gasped in surprise as i watched his piercing green eyes stare intently at me, as though to peel my clothes off, layer by layer. Before i could comprehend what was happ
