Chapter 2

• Monalisa's POV
• A new day has dawned bringing with it dreams and aspirations. I rolled uncomfortably on the bed as I suddenly felt the reflection of the sun rays forcefully making it's way into the room and resting on my face.
• A loud hiss left my lips as i flipped over to back the sun's reflection, but i could still feel the heat. And angrily, i sat up to behold Alex. He was standing close to his wardrobe and fixing up his blue tie. He was already dressed in a black suit, looks like he is getting ready for work.
• Jerk. I thought he was going to become a little bit polite after allowing me sleep on the bed yesterday while he used the couch. But I was wrong, he would never change.
• "Hey! Why did you have to open the curtains? Are you blind or what? Can't you see that I am still sleeping?" I fired.
• " And can't you see that I am dressing up? Why should I care if you are still sleeping? " He snapped and bent down to wear his shoes.
• I shot daggers at him but decided not to speak further. I won't let him ruin my day. I sat on the bed and quietly watch him do his thing. He ran the comb through his hair and I couldn't ignore the fact that he was indeed handsome. He had a soft baby face, curly hair, pink lip, broad shoulders like that of a demi god. No wonder those ladies keeps on throwing themselves at him. But this doesn't still remove the fact that I hate him.
• He picked up his briefcase and without uttering a word, he walked towards the door. Finally! Good riddance.
• He stopped walking and turned to look at me. Did he hear what I just said?
• "I am leaving for work. If you are hungry, you can come join us downstairs for breakfast." He said. I raised my eyebrows, surprised. Why is he acting cool all of a sudden, it is so creepy.
• "Don't think I care about you. I just don't want anyone to say that my wife is looking hungry and sick"
• I raised my eyebrows. I should have seen this coming.
• "What?" I exclaimed.
• "And one more thing, don't you dare try to cause trouble for anyone or I won't spare you" He added before walking out.
• The nerves.
• " Don't you dare to cause trouble for anyone or I won't spare you" I mimicked. " To hell with you and your freaking advise, I don't need any of them"
• I hope he hears that too. I brushed off the hair from my face as I tried not to get angry. I am definitely not going to go down for breakfast with those people, I don't trust them. I will rather go get food outside, probably from any eatery nearby.
• I got off the bed and changed into my white towel. I sauntered over to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and prepared a hot bath. I poured in some body cleanser and rose flower into the bath tub. Alex mother had given it to me as a wedding gift. According to her, it would help to give me a more glowing skin.
• I pulled off the towel and hung it on the towel hanger. I slipped into the bath tub and I loved it's sensation on my skin. I had always taken my bath standing and scooping water from the bucket, so tiring. I can't believe I am sitting down comfortably and taking my bath.
• After spending almost ages in the bathroom, I finally stepped out. I turned on the music on my phone and danced to it as I applied cream on my body.
• "You are my queen. And I can't wait running to your arms. Oh! Oh! " I sang, shaking my head.
• I walked over to my wardrobe and for the first time I noticed that Alex had gotten me a smaller wardrobe. His wardrobe looked a bit bigger than mine. How dare him? We will definitely talk about this when he gets back.
• I sighed and drew open the wardrobe. I ran my hands through the clothes searching for an outfit. Alex had gotten me new clothes and forced me to get rid of all the old ones. He blabbered about not letting a beggar live with him as a wife.
• Thinking about him, always make my blood boil.
• I finally settled for a green short strapped gown. Just then, I heard the door cracked open to reveal Alex. Speaking of the devil, thank goodness I had already put on my clothes.
• "Weren't you taught to knock before entering a room or are you just dumb?" I snarled.
• " A room, you say? This is not just any room but my room, so I will walk in and out of it anyhow I please."
• I shot him a hard stare. Why is he so full of himself? My room my foot.
• He hissed and grumbly walked up to the couch and sat down. I sauntered over to where he sat.
• "Why are you sitting down? Aren't you supposed to be at work?"
• " Why do I feel like you are chasing me out of my room?"
• " You feel? Yes. Your feeling is right, I just want you to get the hell out of my life so that I can some fresh air" I spat.
• " I am not enjoying spending my time with you either but mum won't let me leave for work. She wants us to spend time together" I explained.
• " Huh? Spend time together? But why?"
• He raised up a eyebrow. "What kind of a dumb question is that? What does couples do immediately after marriage?"
• What do they do?. It struck me!
• " Wait! Don't tell me she is planning a honeymoon for us?"
• "Exactly. And I can't imagine doing that with you"
• I rolled my eyes. " Me either" I snapped and sat on the couch too.
