[ Denise's POV ]Hearing Jake say he is going to marry me really surprised me, because I wasn't expecting him to say such a thing. "Does that mean he still loves me?" I asked myself. I only got back to my senses, when Jake tried to kiss me. I pushed away slightly, and I stood up from the swing."You want to marry me?" I asked, just to be sure if I heard him correctly."Yes, Denise""Why do you want to marry me""Because I love you Denise. I thought I could forget about you, but no matter how hard I try, I still can't let you go""I am married to Mavis, and we are expecting a child," I said."But Ava is back, and she also has a son for Mavis. Don't tell me you're going to compete with her? You may not know this, but Mavis used to love Ava so much, and I am sure he hasn't stopped loving her, because first love is hard to forget" Jake said.I knew he was saying this, so I can feel insecure, but why should I feed insecure, when Mavis already made me understand that I am the one he loves a
[ Mavis's POV ]I looked at Ava after she puked out that trash from her mouth. I wasn't surprised when she said I should divorce Denise, because she wants to have me for herself. What cut me off guard, was when she said I should give her the COO position. Since when did she care about getting a position in my company?I could recall from three years ago, when I talked to Ava about the COO position, but Ava refused to accept it. "I don't want your employees to think that I got the position based on the fact that you are my husband" That was what Ava always says, anytime I talk about the COO position. She only agreed to have that position because I kept pestering her, but a few days to when I was supposed to give her the COO position, she met with an accident, and died, only to come back years later, claiming to be alive."You want the COO position?" I asked."Yes," She answered sharply."Since when did you care about the company? I understand I talked you into it before, but you never
[ Writer's POV]The moment Leo saw Hailey in his house, he knew it was over for him. He didn't need to ask how Hailey entered the house, because the maids must have opened the door for her, since they know her very well."What are you trying to say? What do you mean it's about you and Leo?" Bella asked, and Leo quickly held her hand."Don't listen to Bella. She's just making up stories" Leo said, and Hailey snickered."Really? Making up stories? You and I know that what I am trying to say right now is the truth" Hailey said."Just shut up Hailey. Get out of my house!!!" Leo shouted at her, and she smirked."I won't leave until I have accomplished my mission" Hailey said, stubbornly."Mission? What mission is she talking about Leo, what transpired between you two?" Bella asked, and Leo shook his head."Nothing transpired between Hailey and I, don't believe anything that comes out from her mouth. She is just a liar""I am not a liar and you know that Leo" Hailey said, and Leo looked at
[ Writer's POV ]Bella laid on the bed, with tears dropping down from her eyes. She has been in her room crying after finding out last night that Leo cheated on her with Hailey. She knew Leo didn't intend to sleep with Hailey, but the fact that Leo fell into her trap made her sad.Leo has been calling and texting apology messages to her since last night but she didn't answer his calls nor reply to his texts. She was so heartbroken, to the extent of canceling all the photoshoots she had today, because she can't take pictures with a sullen face."Bella, what's going on? You have been in your room since last night. Are you alright?" Her mom asked, knocking on the door. Although Bella is living separately from her parents, she only dropped by last night because it was the closest place she could crash on after getting heartbroken last night.She didn't tell her parents about what Leo did to her. Having grown up alone, she finds it so difficult to disclose her pains to her parents, because
[ Writer's POV ]The man in the dark smirked after Ava disclosed the truth that she's not Ava. "Are you going to give up on our plan just because of one slap?" The man in the dark asked, smoking."Before I agreed to do this shit with you, you told me that Mavis was in love with his wife Ava, but he heads over heels in love with Denise""That's because you are not doing your job correctly, Audrey" The Man said, calling her name.Audrey Carson, that's her real name. She doesn't looked like Ava, Mavis's real wife. She just had surgery to look exactly like Ava.Audrey is the kind of woman who does everything in exchange for money. She doesn't care if it's dangerous, or if someone is going to die from it, as long as she is going to gain something at the end of the whole senerio, she's ready to do it.So when the man in the dark approach her and offered her a task to have the face of Ava, and that she was going to have lots of money after they ripped off Mavis's money, she didn't hesitate t
[ Mavis's POV ]I immediately pushed Ava away when she tried to deepen the kiss. I was cut off guard, and that's why I didn't see it coming when she kissed me. "Why did you kiss me?" I asked."Is it so wrong to kiss my husband? I always kiss you anytime you come back home" She said, with all the innocence in the world."You are not supposed to kiss me, Ava""Why not Mavis? Is it because of Denise? I understand that she's your wife, but I am also your wife too. We never got divorce" She said, trying to kiss me again, but I stopped her before she could come anywhere near my lips."Why are you treating me this way, Mavis? I understand that you no longer love me, but can't you at least show me a little bit of care. I was the first woman in your life" She said, with an innocent face.Something is weird about this woman standing in front of me. Wasn't she the same one who always shouts and acts like a tigress, so why is she acting cute and innocent all of a sudden?Is she really the Ava I u
[ Writer's POV ]Audrey immediately turned when she heard the sound. "I will call you back, Love" Audrey said, and came out from the kitchen, and saw Bella glaring at her. "Who are you?" She asked."Who I am doesn't matter right now. Who the heck are you and why are you pretending to be Ava!" Bella shouted at Audrey.Audrey looks at Bella from head to toe and laughs. Bella furrowed her eyebrows, wondering why Audrey was laughing."Why are you laughing?" She asked."I think I know you. You are one of the popular models here in America right? So what is a celebrity doing in my house?" Audrey asked, smiling."Don't play games with me. I heard everything you said. You are not Ava, Mavis got married to three years ago. Who are you and why are you trying to come between Mavis and my best friend?" Bella asked, clenching her fist. She was so angry because Denise left Mavis's house because of Ava, and it turns out that she's not even the real Ava."Wait a second, let me get this straight. Den
[ Denise's POV ]My eyes were blurry as I slowly opened it, I couldn't see clearly, and my head was aching so badly. I remembered how someone hit me so hard on the head, when I was rushing out to meet Mavis. My version became clear, and I discovered that I was on the rooftop of a skyscraper. It was old, which means it has been abandoned.I was still proofreading how I got here, and who the person was, when I heard a familiar voice. "You are awake" I turned behind me, and I saw Ava, or should I say Audrey looking at me, with a dangerous smirk on her face. I folded my fists the moment I saw her. I was burning in anger because I almost lost my child because of her, and I had to leave Mavis's house because of her, and it turns out that she is not Ava. I tried to understand her, because she's Mavis's wife, and that is another reason why I left Mavis's house, but she's not Ava, but a surgical face of Ava."Why did you do it? Why did you come to Mavis's life, pretending to be Ava? Do you kn
[ 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
