[ Mavis's POV]You may be wondering how I got to know Denise's sizes of clothes. I'm not a lover of women, so I practically don't know her taste in clothes or even the sizes of clothes that suit her so well.When Ava was still alive, I used to take her out to get the dresses that suit her taste, because I know if I do it alone, I will buy it wrongly.So I called Ethan a few hours before our wedding to get Denise's size of clothes, and in a twinkle of an eye, he sent it to me.I don't know how he did, and I didn't bother to even ask how he got to know.I put one of the popular boutique on call to get beautiful clothes for Denise after I had sent them the sizes of the clothes I needed.I was doing this not because I cared about her not having anything to wear, if it was up to me, I'd have cared less if she wore raggy clothes.I'm doing it because I want Jake to think I am taking care of Denise. A thing he never did when he was still dating Denise.It's just the beginning of my revenge o
[ Denise POV ]My trauma of close spaces began in my 8th grade in middle school. I was probably fourteen years old then, but I haven't been able to overcome it since then.It all began when I and Bella attended a party. I refused to go with her because I didn't know the person throwing the party."Please let's just go to the party, we will be back before 8 o'clock" Bella said to me."But I don't know the person throwing the party, and you already know me, I don't go to parties I am not invited to," I said, letting my reason for not going to the party with her."I know the girl throwing the party, she is already in highschool, but she was the one who told me herself to come to her birthday party. I can't go alone, that's why I want you to go with me" Bella said.When Bella never stopped bugging me, I decided to go with her. I told my mom about it, and she agreed to it, giving us a deadline on when we were supposed to be back.I and Bella arrived at the party, and it was filled with gir
[ Mavis's POV ]When I heard Denise's faint cry and banging on the door, I didn't even know why I ran like a madman to the basement.Why did she lock herself in the basement was what I kept asking myself, as I rushed down to the basement.When I got to the basement, I opened the door, and I saw her gasping for air, like she was running out of breath, so I quickly rushed to her."Denise, are you all right?" I asked, wrapping my hands around her slender body. She's indeed so so small.Denise didn't say a word to me, and before I could say another word, Denise's head fell on my chest, shocking ten years out of me.Why will she place her head on my chest, I thought. I tried to push her off, but I don't know what was holding me back.It wasn't my thing to care about her, so why was I hesitating to push her off my chest?"Denise" I called her name, but no reply came from her, so I took a closer look at her, and I found out she was sleeping.Denise was sleeping with her head on my chest. Sin
[ Denise's POV ]The last thing I remembered was my head falling down to Mavis's chest, so when I woke up, I was kind of surprised that I was already back in the room.Then I recalled being locked up in the basement, and fear took over me. Any time my trauma happens, it usually takes hours for me to go back to my normal self.Is either I drift back to sleep, or destroy something. It was strange, but that's how my trauma always stopped.The last time my trauma happened, I destroyed some broken plates in my house, and since then my mom has made sure I never get to stay alone in close spaces.I was still trying to calm the beatings of my heart when I saw Mavis entering the room, so I took the pillow that was close to me and threw it at him.I could see he was shocked. I threw a pillow at him, because I haven't got my way of thinking back."Why did you throw a pillow at me?" He asked me, and I briskly walked up to him, with a pounding heart, and a sweaty face."Why did throw a pillow at m
[ Denise's POV ]I won't deny the fact that I am so hungry right now, and come to think of it, I haven't eaten since morning. I didn't have the appetite for it, because I was sad I was getting married to Mavis.But we are married now, and there's nothing I can do about it. So when Mavis said we should go downstairs and eat together, I was so happy, and I could feel the worms in my stomach rejoicing."You made dinner" I asked, and Mavis nodded his head. I was about to say something, but Mavis beat me to it."Don't get it the wrong way, I didn't actually prepare dinner for you. I was hungry and that's why I cooked, and I am not that heartless not to allow you to join me" He said.Why is he making a big deal out of it, when I didn't say anything?"I didn't say you prepared dinner for me," I said."I just want you to know so you won't get your hopes up that I care about you, because I don't" He said and I snickered."I know you don't care about me, so there's no need to ring it in my ear.
[ Mavis's POV ]I knew from the moment I picked up the phone, that my mom was going to ask me if I was having sex with Denise. This is the reason why I have been ignoring her calls, but she kept on calling me.It was our first night together after we got married, and married couples do have sex on their first night, but I and Denise are exceptional.I already told her sex wasn't part of our marriage and is going to remain that way until I divorce her. If not for Jake, I won't have kissed her."Are you both having sex?" My mom asked again, and even if I can't see her right now, I could tell she was squealing."Mom" I said, sounding frustrated, indeed her question is frustrating me out. I mean how can she ask me if I was having sex with Denise, how am I going to answer such a question when we are not even having sex."C'mon son, what's with the frustrated voice?" She asked."How can you call me and ask such a question, I mean who does that?""I'm your mom. I just want to know if you bot
[ Mavis's POV ]"Mom, can we not talk about this today?" I said, hoping she would agree with me, but my mom is hard-headed, and she won't listen until she is done talking."Don't try to postpone the topic Mavis. Did you or did you not release inside of her" "Fine I didn't!" I said half yelling out to her. Her questions were becoming annoying. If not for the fact that she was my mom, I'd have said a lot of insulting words to her.But she is my mom, and no matter what she does, I still love her so much. My dad is the only one I can talk to anyhow I wanted, because he ruined my life the day he killed the woman I love."Why didn't you release inside of her?" My mom asked. She wasn't affected by the fact that I just raised my voice at her.I sighed and said. "Because I don't want to"Believe me when I said lying isn't easy, especially when you are lying about something you didn't do."Why not son? Aren't you ready to have become a father""Mom, there's lots of time for me and Denise to m
[ Denise's POV ]It was unlike me to sleep comfortably in a new environment.I don't know why, because it's usually so hard to sleep in a house that wasn't mine. All I remembered last night was that I was trying so hard to sleep, and all of a sudden, I drifted to sleep.I could feel someone in the room, but I can't pinpoint who it was."Could it be Mavis?" I asked myself then shook my head afterwards.There's no way Mavis will come to this room to check on me. His pride won't let him do so. Maybe I was just hallucinating.I stretched my body before coming down to the bed, I went to the bathroom, and watched my face and teeth.I was still on it, when my stomach rumbled. I wasn't the type to get hungry easily, so why am I hungry all of a sudden.I went back to the room, and when my eyes met with the wall clock I almost lost balance. Can't believe I slept well, which resulted to me waking up late, the time was 10' o clock.Is impossible for me to sleep still this hour, especially if I
[ Denise's POV ]I had a happy smile as I walked towards the altar to meet the most handsome man in the world, waiting for me to tie the knot with him for the second time.Mavis and I decided to get married again, because a lot of things have happened to us over the past few months. I have been in so many dangers, Audrey came into our lives pretending to be Ava just to separate Mavis and I. Ethan also tried to kill me, which led to me having miscarriage, and forgetting who my lovely husband was to me, so that's why we decide to get married again to start all of again, and this time we are getting married because we love each other and not because we didn't have an option.It hurts losing my child, but I know that Mavis and I are going to have our own kids now that we are getting married again. The grand hall of our wedding was top notch, and it wasn't a simple wedding like our previous wedding.Mavis assured that this time around, our wedding was going to be done in a glamorous way, ev
[ Mavis's POV ]I haven't visited Denise ever since I left the hospital the day she told me to. I was scared that she might be mad at me if she saw my face. Even if I miss her so much, I kept restraining myself from going to her. I have called Bella several times and she said Denise was still the same, and didn't remember who I was. I don't concentrate on work because my head is always occupied with the thought of Denise. It's just a week since Denise had her partial amnesia, but I have lost so much weight, because food doesn't pass through my throat no matter how delicious it tastes. It was as if Denise was my reason for living.I love Denise so much, more than my own life. If my wealth could bring back her lost memories, I don't mind giving all of it out, just so I can have her back in my arms. As for the bastard that calls himself Ethan, he is already paying for his sins in jail, and I made sure he never had it easy in prison. I was trying to focus on work, when the doorbell rang,
[ Mavis's POV ]I held my face after Denise slapped me. I wasn't expecting her to slap me, and that's why my eyes widened in shock when she slapped me. "Why did you slap me, Denise?" I asked as my eyes became misty."Because you punched my boyfriend" She answered, looking at me with so much hatred, and the hatred in her eyes broke my heart into a billion pieces."I punched him because he is trying to kiss you, Denise. How can I allow him to kiss my wife" I said, allowing my tears to fall down from my eyes.Denise looked at me, and the hatred in her eyes was slowly fading away. She didn't say a word to me, she only looked at me, and even if I wasn't in her heart, I knew she was feeling something for me, even without remembering who I was to her. I could feel it in her eyes because of the way she was looking at me right now.I tried going close to her, but she stepped backward. "I am sorry I slapped you, I shouldn't have done that, but can you leave me alone? I want to be alone" Denise
[ Mavis's POV ]The way Denise was hugging Jake ignited so much pain inside my heart, and she made it worst by saying she missed Jake. I was wondering why she hugged Jake and tell him that she miss him, but then I remembered Denise only remembers half of her memories, and that memory she remembered, Jake was in it.With a heartbreaking heart, and not minding that I was injured, I stood up from the wheelchair, and separated both of them from each other."What's your problem?" Denise asked, almost raising her voice at me."You shouldn't be hugging him, Denise" I said calmly, while glaring at Jake."Why can't I hug my boyfriend?" She asked, and my eyes widen why Denise called Jake her boyfriend. Does that mean she doesn't remember the pains Jake inflicted on her? Does it mean she only remembers her happy times with Jake? These where the question I keep asking myself as I looked at Denise with sad eyes. I took in my lips and said."He is not your boyfriend, Denise"Denise looked at me and
[ Mavis's POV ]I looked at Denise, surprised that she can't remember me. She was looking at me like someone she just met. My mom, Leo, Bella and likewise Denise's mom was also caught by surprise that she can't remember me."You don't remember me?" I asked, heartbreakingly. Denise looked at me from head to toe, and shook her head. "I don't know you Mr" She said, looking at me."What about me?" Her mom asked. She looked at her mom and smiled. "I know you, you're my mom" She said smiling."Do you remember me?" Bella asked."Of course I know you. You are my best friend, Bella smith""What about me?" Both Leo and my mom asked at the same time, and Denise looked at them confusedly."I don't know you both. Have we met before?" She asked, and my mom and Leo looked at me."Denise it's me" I said, holding her hand."Get your heads off me!" She shouted at me, taking her hand from me."Denise!" I muttered."I don't know you, so why do you keep touching me like this? Bella, do you know this man?"
[ Mavis's POV ]I got out of the car immediately I arrived at the scene. The place was quiet and filled with grass. "Ethan!" I shouted his name."Over here, Mavis" Ethan said with a dangerous smirk on his face, and he was holding Denise, and she had tears in her eyes, even her lips had bruises on them."How dare you lay your hands on Denise?" I tried to get close to him, but I stopped halfway because Ethan pointed a gun at me."Not so fast, Mavis," He said, smiling creepily."Why are you doing this Ethan? What have I ever done to you!" I said shouting at him, because from what I can remember, I have been nice to him."You have done a lot Mavis. You belittle me like I was nothing!""What the heck are you saying Ethan? When and how did I belittle you. I never treated you unfairly" "Yes you have Mavis. You send me errands like I was your houseboy. I wasn't Denise's driver, but you always made me drive her, but I took all of it, hoping that you'd see I am worth having the position of the
[ Denise's POV ]Ethan had a smirk on his face, as I continued to look at him with so much surprise. I have never thought for once that the person trying to kill Mavis and I, and Audrey's brother, will turned out to be Ethan. Mavis and I have been looking for him, not knowing he was right under our nose. Ethan is the one who has always tried to harm Mavis and I, and yet he is portrayed to be someone who can never hurt a fly."Why are you surprised to see me, Denise? Don't you know who I am anymore?" He asked with a creepy smile on his face."Was it you all this while? The man under the mask was you?" I asked, and Ethan smiled. He squatted beside me, trying to touch my face, but I used my head to jerk his hand off."Yes Denise. I am the man under the mask. I am responsible for everything that has happened to you, including you falling inside the swimming pool, the elevator, and so many other dangers that you were involved in" Ethan smiled and continued."I so badly wanted to kill you,
[ Mavis's POV ]I ran out of the house sweating dreadfully, after I read the short note on the bed. My heart was beating so fast, because I was afraid of what Audrey's brother might do to Denise. What if he kills her just like he has written on the note.I wasn't the one who pushed Audrey, she fell on her own Accord, when she was trying to push Denise. They were the ones who started all of this, so why are they coming after us again? I looked around the quiet street of my house, and there wasn't any form of a strange person or car leaving the premises."Dad, are you alright? Where's momma?" Alex asked, coming out from the house. I looked at Alex, but I couldn't answer his question because I was so scared of what might happen to Denise. I ran back inside the house, and innocent Alex followed me inside, wondering why I was running in and out of the house. I rushed inside my room, and quickly got possession of my laptop, and I logged in to the footage outside, and I gasped when I saw a m
[ Denise's POV ]My eyes widened immediately Audrey fell down from the rooftop, and I could see my body vibrating as a result of it. "Are you okay, Denise?" Mavis asked me, and I nodded my head before looking down from the rooftop, and I saw Audrey laying flat on the ground with a broken head, and blood was coming out from her head in a rush."Mavis… she's… she is bleeding" I said stuttering, because this is the first time I am seeing someone dying in my presence. With the help of Mavis, we rushed Audrey to the hospital, but she died even before the doctor could perform treatment on her."What are we going to do, Mavis? We didn't kill her right?" I asked, shaking because I don't want Mavis to be blamed for killing Audrey. She was the one who wanted to kill me, and Mavis was only trying to help me. Is this what they call self defense? I thought, shaking.Mavis saw the way I was shaking, and he pulled me into a hug, hugging me tightly. "We didn't kill Audrey. She fell from the rooftop, b
