[ Mavis's POV ]The kiss lasted for a very long time. I didn't want to break the kiss, because I was enjoying the sweet tasty flavor from Denise's lips. I was lying when I said her lips sucks, her lips had the strawberry taste, that keeps you longing for more. Our heads turn left and right as we kiss so passionately. I was about deepening the kiss more, when Denise broke the kiss. Our breath was loudly heard, because of the hot kiss we shared.I raised my hand, and it landed perfectly on Denise's face, and Denise looked at me. "Don't hesitate to call me anytime my dad drops by, I will leave whatever I am doing and come back. So don't ever hide it from me, about my dad coming here, okay" I said, and Denise nodded her head. I smiled lightly and patted her head."Have you eaten?" I asked"I am not hungry, Mavis, I just want to rest," She said."Alright then" I said. I stood up from the bed, and tried to carry Denise, but Denise snuggled backwards."What are you doing?" She asked."You sa
[ Denise's POV ]I felt sorry for Mavis after he told me what happened to Ava, and how his Dad was a mastermind to the death of his wife and unborn child, and I fully understood why Mavis hated his dad so much. I also understood why he pinned me to the wall so aggressively after I talked ill about Ava. He must have really loved his wife, and it was really cruel for Mavis's dad to do that to Ava, just because she is from a poor breed, since when did being poor become a crime? I thought to myself.I was still trying to find a way to console Mavis for making him remember the past, when the doorbell rang. I and Mavis went downstairs to check who was at the door, and it turns out to be Mavis's mom."Mom, you should have entered the house instead of knocking," Mavis said to his mom."I just felt like it," She said and entered the house. Mavis's mom looked at me before talking. "Why did you punch your father?" She asked, and my heart pounded so rapidly. What if she hates me because her son
[ Denise's POV ]I stared at Mavis's mom not knowing what to say. I knew she was going to ask something about Mavis, but I never knew she was going to ask me to make Mavis Fall in Love with me. Like how am I going to do that, when Mavis has thrown his heart in the middle of the ocean where it can never be found."Denise" Mavis's mom called my name, and I slowly turned my head to look at her. "What do you say about my favor?" She asked."I am sorry Mom, but I can't do it" I said, because I myself know that I can make Mavis fall in love with me."Why can't you do it Denise?""Because Mavis still loves his wife so much. Just like you said, our relationship is fake, I and Mavis started off with a rough patch, and we don't feel anything for each other" I said."Aren't you confident that you can make Mavis forget about his late wife and fall in love with you?" She asked, and I looked at her, and shook my head. "I can't make Mavis fall in love with me," I said."You are beautiful Denise""Be
[ Mavis's POV ]Jake left my company, after I told him I was never going to give Denise back to him. Even if I and Denise decide to push through with the contract, I will make sure she never goes back to Jake, because he is a coward. I was happy and sad at the same time. Happy that I made Jake see what it felt like to lose someone you love, and I was sad that soon I am going to divorce Denise. It's just a three month deal, and as if the world was flying like the wind, it has already been a month since I got married to Denise.I sighed, swiping my hair to the back, and Ethan entered my office. "Boss" He said, and I raised my face to look at him."I am sorry I couldn't handle the situation," he said."It's fine Ethan, don't apologize for any thing, what matters is that he has left already" I said."Does that mean you are not mad at me?""No I am not mad at you Ethan, you did a great job when you called me, saying Jake was making a scene" I said, and Ethan smiled, happy that I compliment
[ Denise's POV ]I was still waiting patiently for Mavis to come home, because Leo told me he was at his company, so I decided to wait for him so we could discuss what to do now that his parents already know the truth about our marriage. I wasn't happy that I turned down Mavis's mom's favor, but it was kind of the right thing to do. I don't want to make Mavis fall in love with me, and in the end I won't love him back, and besides, I don't even know how to make a man fall in love with me, because I am not a seductress.The doorbell rang, waking me up from my thoughts. I sighed and went to open the door, thinking that Mavis was finally home, but it turned out to be Jake and not Mavis."What are you doing here Jake?" I asked, and Jake looked at me with a sullen face, indicating he had been crying."Can I talk to you for a few minutes?" He asked."I don't want to talk to you Jake, so go home" I said, trying to close the door, but Jake held the side of the door, preventing me from closing
[ Denise's POV ]I went to Mavis's room, after I dismissed Jake. I stood at Mavis's doorstep crimping my hands, anticipating whether to knock on the door or not. After a few seconds of standing at the door, I knocked on the door, but no response came from Mavis. I knocked on the door again, but Mavis didn't utter a word, and after I knocked on the door the third time, and he didn't say a word for me to come in, I entered the room at my own will.I met Mavis sitting on the couch in his room, reading a book. "Didn't you hear when I was knocking?" I asked."No I didn't" He answered."Can we talk?""No we can't, I am reading" He said, not looking at my face. I looked at the book in his hand, and it was turned upside down, which meant he wasn't reading the book, he just used the book to cover his face, so he wouldn't look at me."Really? Are you reading or are you trying to avoid looking at my face?" I asked."I am reading Denise. Go back to your room and leave me alone" He said. I walked
[ Mavis's POV ]I have decided to follow Leo's advice, and that's why I decided to give her a black card, so she could buy anything she wants. I could see the surprise of her face when I told her I was going to help her achieve her dreams. I am sure she didn't expect that from me."Why do you want to help me Mavis" She asked."Because I want to Denise. Let me make up for what I did to you. You can do an internship at my company, and go for night classes too" I said."Are you joking?" Denise asked, looking at me."I am not joking Denise. I'm serious about what I just said, I want to help you achieve your dreams. I feel so guilty that I had to cut your second dream short. That's why I want to help you Denise. I am going to help you achieve your dream of becoming a plastic surgeon and a popular chef. All you have to do is work hard" I said, and Denise smiled."Can you pitch me, I think I am dreaming, this is not happening in reality, right?" She asked, with a smile on her face.I smiled
[ Mavis's POV ]I saw the surprised look on my employees face after I introduced Denise as my wife. Apart from Ethan, no one knew I was married, because I didn't let it be known to them. They really wanted to ask questions as to how I got married, but they were just too scared to ask me.I am not friendly with my employees, so the relationship I have with them was mainly a boss and employee relationship, unlike Leo who interacts with his entire employees like they were siblings.I don't like mingling with my employees so that's why I made strict rules between me and them. If it was Leo that introduced his wife to his employees, they'd have bombered him with lots of questions, and he would gladly answer them with a happy smile on his face, but in my case, I hardly interact with my employees, talk more of laughing with them. I have tried doing so, but it is just so hard for me. I guess this is just the way I am, always wanting to be superior over others.I cleared my throat, and their e
[ 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
