[ Denise's POV ]Ethan left a few hours ago because I asked him to. He didn't want to leave at first, but I insisted he should go and that I was going to find a way to return to Mavis's mansion.I was even planning on telling my mom that I will be spending the night with her and Angela, I literally wasn't expecting Mavis to be here.I mean why will he drive all the way here, just to pick me up? First he asked me to be careful with the cooker, secondly he sent Ethan to take me to the hospital, and now he came here just so he could take me home.Is he by chance on drugs? But I haven't seen him smoking, he's not the kind of man to smoke. Believe me when I say I know a smoker when I see one, and Mavis is far from being a smoker.So why is he behaving strangely all of a sudden?"Why are you surprised that your husband came to pick you up?" My Mom asked, and I instantly beamed a smile at her."Well he told me he'd be busy at his company, so that was why I am kind of surprised he came here t
[ Denise's POV ]After Mavis said he was only nice to me because his mom was there with him, I got mad at myself for actually believing Mavis might have one way or the other care about me.I am a fool, thinking that this man standing in front of me can actually care about me. He might care about his mom, Ethan and the rest of people in his life, but not me. I am so stupid to have fall for his cheesy words."Did you by chance fall for my cheesy words" He asked with that creepy smile of his, walking close to me, and I walked backwards."No I didn't" I answered sharply, hitting my back on the wall, and before I could say a word, Mavis lean closer to my lips."Do you want me to kiss you" He whispered to my ear, and his voice send shivering down my spine, there by making my heart beat rapidly.It too me some seconds to realize that Mavis was actually messing with me, and I hated the fact that my heart flutter for his words.I took in a deep breath and kicked his knee, and he jumped on his t
[ Mavis's POV ]I have been waiting for Denise to come out from her house so we could leave her neighborhood.Being born with a silver spoon, I have lived my life in luxury, so that's why I kind of found Denise's neighborhood irritating.It wasn't dirty, nor was it crowded, but having grown up in a rich and well fenced mansion, I wasn't pleased with her neighborhood.The houses weren't fenced, and most of the houses were facing each other. This is the first time I have seen houses like this, so I just want to leave this place to my comfort zone.I could even hear music and voices from here and there, making the whole place look so noisy. This isn't done in my neighborhood.Even when I was still growing up and living with my parents, our neighborhood was always quiet, and if you dare disturb the peace of others, you'd be arrested for it.But here in Denise's neighborhood, it's so different, people can make noise however they want. I guess this is the other side of America that I haven
[ Denise's POV ]I must have been crazy when I told Mavis's mom that I and Mavis wanted to have lots of babies. What babies was I talking about when I don't even want Mavis to come an inch close to me.His mom was kind of happy after I said I and Mavis want to have babies of our own. The conversation went on and on till Mavis's mom decided to end the call, and I was so happy."Why did you say that to my mom?" Mavis asked me.Is he being serious right now? Shouldn't I be the one asking him that? I was so shocked when his mom said he took my virginity last night.For Mavis's mom to say such a thing, it means that Mavis himself told her so."Weren't you the one who started it? How could you have told your mom you had sex with me last night?" I asked."What should I have told her? That we were sleeping in different rooms. She called me to confirm if we were having sex since we got married yesterday, so I had to give a yes to her question, so she won't suspect a single thing" Mavis said.I
[ Mavis's POV ]After Denise entered her room, I went straight to my room, not bothering her. I took a quick shower and sat on the bed after putting on some light white pajamas.I opened my laptop, and engaged in a video call with Ethan. We were talking about business and my business trip to Paris."When will the business meeting be scheduled?" I asked him."Two months from now, you will be meeting with other CEOs too""Alright. Two months is a long way from now, so gradually prepare for my trip, and don't over-stress yourself," I said." I will boss. What about Denise?" Ethan asked.I don't know why he was asking about Denise, but I gave an answer to his question, telling him that Denise was fine.I and Ethan talked about the company's growth for a while, and when we were done, I went downstairs.I wanted to check up on Denise, but I decided not to check on her.I walked to the wine cellar, took a bottle of champagne and poured it into a glass cup, sipping from it.I looked around th
[ 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
