[ Denise's POV ]When I thought all hope of surviving from the pool was lost, Mavis jumped inside the pool to save me.I never expected he would jump into the pool, just to save the woman he hates, and that's why I couldn't stop crying, and at the same time thanking him as well.And when he caught me after I was about to fall, I felt this sensation building inside of me, and that was why I quickly freed myself from him."I can walk on my own" I said with a voice that wasn't audible, and Mavis slowly removed his hands from my waist."Are you sure?" He asked.I could feel the worries in his voice, but I chose not to buy his cheesy words this time around, he might just make a mockery of me tomorrow."Yes I can walk, thank you Mavis" I said and walked away from him. My right ankle was hurting so badly, I might have sprained it when the unknown person pushed me inside the pool.I was still struggling to walk with my sprained ankle, when Mavis carried me in a bridal style.I was beyond shoc
[ 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
[ 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
