[ Mavis's POV ]I have been waiting for Denise to come out from her house so we could leave her neighborhood.Being born with a silver spoon, I have lived my life in luxury, so that's why I kind of found Denise's neighborhood irritating.It wasn't dirty, nor was it crowded, but having grown up in a rich and well fenced mansion, I wasn't pleased with her neighborhood.The houses weren't fenced, and most of the houses were facing each other. This is the first time I have seen houses like this, so I just want to leave this place to my comfort zone.I could even hear music and voices from here and there, making the whole place look so noisy. This isn't done in my neighborhood.Even when I was still growing up and living with my parents, our neighborhood was always quiet, and if you dare disturb the peace of others, you'd be arrested for it.But here in Denise's neighborhood, it's so different, people can make noise however they want. I guess this is the other side of America that I haven
[ Denise's POV ]I must have been crazy when I told Mavis's mom that I and Mavis wanted to have lots of babies. What babies was I talking about when I don't even want Mavis to come an inch close to me.His mom was kind of happy after I said I and Mavis want to have babies of our own. The conversation went on and on till Mavis's mom decided to end the call, and I was so happy."Why did you say that to my mom?" Mavis asked me.Is he being serious right now? Shouldn't I be the one asking him that? I was so shocked when his mom said he took my virginity last night.For Mavis's mom to say such a thing, it means that Mavis himself told her so."Weren't you the one who started it? How could you have told your mom you had sex with me last night?" I asked."What should I have told her? That we were sleeping in different rooms. She called me to confirm if we were having sex since we got married yesterday, so I had to give a yes to her question, so she won't suspect a single thing" Mavis said.I
[ Mavis's POV ]After Denise entered her room, I went straight to my room, not bothering her. I took a quick shower and sat on the bed after putting on some light white pajamas.I opened my laptop, and engaged in a video call with Ethan. We were talking about business and my business trip to Paris."When will the business meeting be scheduled?" I asked him."Two months from now, you will be meeting with other CEOs too""Alright. Two months is a long way from now, so gradually prepare for my trip, and don't over-stress yourself," I said." I will boss. What about Denise?" Ethan asked.I don't know why he was asking about Denise, but I gave an answer to his question, telling him that Denise was fine.I and Ethan talked about the company's growth for a while, and when we were done, I went downstairs.I wanted to check up on Denise, but I decided not to check on her.I walked to the wine cellar, took a bottle of champagne and poured it into a glass cup, sipping from it.I looked around th
[ Denise's POV ]When I thought all hope of surviving from the pool was lost, Mavis jumped inside the pool to save me.I never expected he would jump into the pool, just to save the woman he hates, and that's why I couldn't stop crying, and at the same time thanking him as well.And when he caught me after I was about to fall, I felt this sensation building inside of me, and that was why I quickly freed myself from him."I can walk on my own" I said with a voice that wasn't audible, and Mavis slowly removed his hands from my waist."Are you sure?" He asked.I could feel the worries in his voice, but I chose not to buy his cheesy words this time around, he might just make a mockery of me tomorrow."Yes I can walk, thank you Mavis" I said and walked away from him. My right ankle was hurting so badly, I might have sprained it when the unknown person pushed me inside the pool.I was still struggling to walk with my sprained ankle, when Mavis carried me in a bridal style.I was beyond shoc
[ Mavis's POV ]I could see the surprise in her face, when I told her I was the one who made her sleep last night. How couldn't she tell I was the one who stayed throughout last night taking care of her, when we were the only ones in this house."So you own the hand I was holding last night?" She asked, looking at me in dismay"Yes. Whose hand would it have been, if not for mine. I am the only one in this house with you" I said."Why did you do it?" She asked, and I sighed, tucking my hands in the white pajamas I was wearing."I also have the problem of not being able to sleep in a new environment, and that's why I helped you drift to sleep" "Thank you""Stop thanking me, and go to sleep, I will leave once you sleep off" I said.Denise looked at me for a while, before laying on the bed, with her hands under her head.I stood in the room watching her, and when she was having difficulties sleeping, I walked closer to her, and began patting her gently.When I was sure she had already s
[ Writer's POV ]Bella got down from the cab, after she arrived at her house. She paid the driver and entered the house, and found both her mom and dad at home, and they were eating."It's surprising to see you both at home" She said sitting on the dining table with them.Ever since Bella was born, her parents were hardly at home, because of the jobs they were doing, and as such, they were not always at home to take care of Bella.They will be at home today, and in the next few minutes they are already out. So Bella was practically raised by her brother, but after he got a job in Singapore, Bella had to cater for herself.She didn't get lonely sometimes, because Denise was always there to keep her company."What do you mean Bella?" Her mom, Mrs. Smith asked."You should know what I am talking about Mom. You and dad barely stay at home, that's why I am a little surprised that you both are at home today, and even made dinner" Bella said looking at them.Her father sighed and said. "You
[ Writer's POV ]Leo entered the house with a smile on his face. Anytime he remembers Bella's beautiful face, it brought so much happiness to his heart and face."Good evening sir Leo" The maids greeted, and he replied to them with a smile.Unlike Mavis who has no maids in his house, Leo has about three to four maids who does the cooking, cleaning and washing."Should I prepare dinner for you?" The maid who is in charge of cooking for him, asked."No don't bother, I already ate out" He said, smiling."You are in a good mood today sir Leo, did something happen at the company?" One of the maids asked.In terms of interacting with people, Leo is very good at it. The way he talks and laughs with his workers, you'd think they're siblings.He is the friendly, and easy going man, who laughs with anyone that comes his way. Mavis might be his best friend, but they're totally different from each other.Mavis is a bit proud and extroverted, while Leo on the other hand is a carefree person, who i
[ Mavis's POV ]The morning sun shone brightly on my face, and I squeezed my face a little, before opening my eyes. I stretched my body, yawning at the same.I was extremely tired because I spent the entire night thinking about the anonymous person that tried to kill Denise last night.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't wave the thought of Denise almost dying, from my head.I kept thinking who the anonymous person is, but no matter how I think, I couldn't come up with who to hold responsible for what happened to Denise last night.I might be a ruthless man in terms of business, but I always make sure I am not in conflict with anyone.I am always pure in terms of associating with others in business. I don't even have business rivals, nor do I have friends that will want to kill me.Leo is the only friend I have, because I sucks when it comes to associating with others, and I can beat my chest and say that Leo will never betray me, by causing harm to the women in my life.The reason
