[ Denise's POV ]I left Mavis in the restaurant after telling him I was going to get back to him, considering my marriage with him.I know I needed to save my sister, but why am I hesitating? Maybe it's because I am not ready to walk down the aisle with someone I don't loved.But I have already told him I was going to marry him, and there was no going back, and besides my mom already believed my cooked up lies.I visited Angela in the hospital after I left the restaurant, and she begged me to prepare her a homemade meal, which I agreed to do without a blink.I left the hospital leaving Angela in the care of my mom. I brought all the important ingredients needed to prepare a homemade meal for my sister, and began walking back to our house.I was still on it, when my phone rang inside my canvas tote bag, and I brought it out.My eyebrows furrowed when I saw it was Jake calling. With the issues going on with Angela, I forgot to delete his number.But why was he calling me? I thought to m
[ Denise's POV ]Ever since I and Jake started dating, he has never really acted like this towards me. Was he still in love with me? But if he loves me like he claims, why then will he cheat on me?."Please Denise, reconsider your decision about getting married to Mavis. I promise to be good from now" Jake said, now he knows he was never a good boyfriend to me.I pushed him away from my body slightly, and he looked at me with those misty eyes of his."Why didn't you introduce me to your uncle for once?" I asked him."Well… "It was because you were ashamed of me, right? You couldn't introduce me to your family because you didn't want them to know you were dating a low class girl, right?"Jake didn't answer any of my questions, because he knows I was saying the truth."I loved you Jake, the heavens knows how much I loved you, but you took my feelings for granted" I said, cleaning the tears that kept producing themselves from my eyes."I'm sorry Denise" He said, trying to hold my hand,
[ Mavis's POV ]I wasn't actually expecting Jake to come to my house, nor was I expecting him to punch me, because the Jake I know doesn't know how to throw a punch.I stood up from the ground, and wiped the blood on my lips. "Why the heck did you punch me?" I asked him, trying to control myself, because if not I will just decorate his face with punches."Why are you getting married to her!!" Jake shouted at me. I instantly knew he was talking about Denise, but I pretend not to know, so I can spite him, that's the reason why I am getting married to Denise anyways."Who?""Don't pretend like you don't know what I am talking about. Why are you getting married to Denise? Of all the women in the world you could get married to, why did you choose to get married to the woman I love!" Jake shouted, with his eyes all red.I smirked when I saw the saddest in his face. I was right after all. He indeed loves Denise so much. He can't keep his dick to himself that's why he cheated on her.Now he k
[ Mavis's POV ]I watched Leo closely, and I could see he was still breathing. Why he fainted after I said I was getting married this Sunday was something I couldn't figure out.Was it a shocking bombshell saying I will be getting married this Sunday? I thought within myself.I patiently waited for Leo to wake up, and when there wasn't any sign of him waking up, I went downstairs, got a bowl of chilled water and sprinkled it on his face.Leo gasps while waking up. "Where am I?" He asked breathing loudly."You are in my house, dummy. Why did you faint when I said I was getting married this Sunday?" I asked, and Leo looked at with a face filled with doubt."You are joking, right?""Does it look like I am joking? I'm dead serious about getting married this Sunday" I said."Maybe I should just faint and wake up again, because this isn't real," Leo said. He tried falling back to the bed, but I gave him a knock on the Head."Stop acting like a child," I said to him."Tell me you are joking
[ Denise's POV ]It took me some seconds to return back to myself, and I took my hand from Jake."What the heck are you saying Jake?" I asked him. He tried holding my hand again, but I shot him a deadly glare, and he withdrew from holding my hand."Denise, you don't have to get married to Mavis because you want him to pay for your sister's treatment. $600, 000 is a lot, but I am going to find a way to come up with the money, "he said."And you expect me to say thank you and call off the wedding?""Your sister is the reason you are getting married to Mavis, right?" Jake asked."I don't know how you got to find out, but I don't need your help" I said to him.I didn't want my mom to come to the room and see me and Jake talking, I don't know what lie to tell her if she sees us together."But you don't love him Denise"."You are right, I don't love Mavis, but that doesn't mean I will call off the wedding, just to accept your help"."Why don't you want to accept my help Denise? I'm trying t
[ Mavis's POV ]Saying I DO to something I didn't mean was a very hard decision for me. When the priest asked if I took Denise to be my lawful wedded wife, I just looked at her, and imagined her as Ava.I remembered that wonderful day when I got married to Ava, it was the happiest day of my life, and Ava was indeed looking so beautiful and elegant.Thinking about my marriage with Ava two years ago, I just imagined I was getting married to her again, and that's why I said I DO without any hesitation.And another reason was because I am finally having my revenge on Jake, by getting married to the woman he loves."Do you take Mavis. C. Brown to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold, and to love him until do you both apart" The priest asked Denise. I'd expected her to hesitate to answer the question since she only married me to save her sister.But Denise all of a sudden began shedding tears, making everyone wonder why she was crying. I literally didn't expect her to cry.I
[ Denise's POV ]After Mavis held my arms, I instantly realized I was actually getting married to him, not for my own good, but for my sister who will still fall back in the hospital if not treated.I looked at my sister, and I became determine to save her life, that was why I instantly said I DO. Thankfully, the priest skipped the marriage vows parts and went straight to blessing our marriage, and asking Mavis to kiss me as a sign of becoming one.When Mavis leaned closer to my lips, I held the hems of the wedding gown I was wearing. I haven't kissed a man before.When I and Jake were still a couple, he only pecked my cheeks and held my hand. I never for once thought that I'd be giving my first kiss to the man I hate so much.But when I thought about Angela, my one and only sister, I was ready to do everything and anything to save her.Mavis looked at my heart shaped lips for a while, before kissing me. I won't call it a kiss, because his lips just touched my lips.It was like a qui
[ Denise's POV ]I and Mavis didn't talk to each other all the way to his house. The ride was smooth, and Ethan kept his eyes fixed on the road, and I wonder why he was so loyal to an arrogant man like Mavis.I still haven't let go of what Mavis did to me in the church, and I was thinking of a way to get back at him for kissing me without my permission.He even had the guts to say my lips sucks. And what he said about punching me back if I punched him didn't get to me, because we are always going to fight and argue every single day.After a few minutes' drive, I eventually arrived at Mavis's residence, and just looking at the compound alone, made me gulped down hard as if I was seeing a delicacy meal in front of me.The structure of the building was beyond beautiful. If there was anything I could use apart from luxurious and beautiful to describe his house, I would gladly use it.If only the compound was this beautiful, I wonder how the inside was going to be. I knew Mavis was rich in
[ 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
