[ 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
[ Denise's POV ]I woke up with a headache, maybe it was due to the fact that I cried last night. I always have a headache whenever I cry.I looked around the room and Mavis wasn't in the room, and I figured that he might have gone to his room after I had slept off.The headache was getting too much, so I decided to take my bath. I loathe taking medicines a lot. The smell of drugs always makes me want to puke, so I always distance myself far from anything that has to do with drugs.When I was still a teenager, anytime I was sick, I always hid it from my mom, because I was afraid of taking medicines.Even if the sickness was hooking my throat, I won't say a word to my mom. I will always act strong in the presence of my mom, so she won't notice I am sick.Strangely the sickness will disappear without anyone knowing, except for Bella who knows me like the back of her hands.It's not surprising that she knows me more than my mom. So anytime I was sick, she would help me by keeping it a se
[ Denise's POV ]For the first five minutes, I didn't say a word to Mavis, I was just looking at him, and his last words kept ringing in my ear. Does Mavis really want us to be husband and wife, I thought to myself."What are you thinking?" He asked, snapping me out of my thoughts and l looked at him. "You want us to break the deal, and act like husband and wife?" I asked."Yes, for Jake's party" He said."Jake's party?""Yes. A client of Jake is throwing a party for him, so we should go to the party and act like husband and wife, that's why we got married, right?" Mavis asked, looking at me."Yes of course," I answered, nodding my head. I curse myself so many times, for almost falling for his words.Mavis wants us to act as husband and wife when we attend Jake's party. I guess this is the time for Mavis to inflict pains on Jake.I have no idea why he is doing that to his cousin, I couldn't ask Mavis the reason why he hates and wants to cause pain to Jake.All I can do is play alongsi
[ Mavis's POV ]The conversation between me and Denise was flowing smoothly, and I was kind of enjoying her company, but everything turned upside down when she mentioned Ava's name.I told her to stop talking about Ava, but she didn't listen, she was just badmouthing the only woman I have loved in my entire life.She didn't cheat on me, neither did she leave me for another man. It was death that took her away from me."She is really a bad lady for inflicting pain on the man that loved her so much. She is dead, right, well I hope she doesn't rest in peace"Anger from nowhere invoked inside of me, and I forcefully pinned Denise to the wall."Who gave you the right to speak ill of my wife in such a manner!!!" I yelled at her with so much anger in my eyes.I was so mad at Denise for saying such a thing. How dare her say Ava's soul shouldn't rest in peace when she has always been a good wife to me.She is the only woman apart from my mom that understood me, and loved me for the kind of ar
[ Mavis's POV ]The way I rushed towards Denise like a flash, surprised the heck out of me. I don't know why, but the moment I saw the red bruise on her arm, I quickly rushed to her."Are you alright Denise?" I asked, looking at her bruised arm. She must have gotten the bruise due to the way I held her, when I pinned her to the wall.Denise didn't say a word to me, and took her arm from me since I was holding her arm."Don't care about me Mavis. You said it yourself that you are going to stop caring about me after last night ended" She said, not looking at my face.I know I told her after last night I won't care about her, but right now I just can't stop myself from worrying about her. Was it because I saw her floating in the pool? Is that why I can't stop worrying about Denise, I thought to myself as I gulped down my spit."I will be right back Denise '' I said to her, and stood up from the bed. I left her room and went to my room to get an ointment for her.I was about applying the
