[ Mavis's POV ]I sighed as the nurse was treating my arm. I sustained a cut on my arm when I fell down to the elevator Denise was locked in. I didn't know I sustained a cut on my arm, until we got out of the elevator. My mind was so occupied with being there for Denise, that I didn't feel any pains in my arm. I didn't want to treat it at first, but Denise kept insisting I had it treated, so I had no other choice but to go with her to the hospital, but on the condition that she gets treated too. She kept saying she was alright, but I needed the doctor to confirm if she is indeed okay like she claimed."She just needs some rest" The doctor said, and I made sure Denise was given a VIP ward inside the hospital.She kept saying she didn't need a VIP ward, but I didn't listen to her and went ahead with it, and she had no choice, but to comply with me. It didn't take up to two minutes before Denise slept, because I told her I was going to get myself treated, only if she takes a nap.When t
[ Mavis's POV ]I was twenty three years old at that time Stephanie celebrated her 18th birthday party. I only attended the party because Leo has forced me to. He didn't want to attend the birthday party because he had booked a lady he was going to be spending the night with that day."Just ditch this lady, and attend your sister's birthday" I said to him, and Leo shook his head, stubbornly."I can't loose this chance of fucking this lady, Mavis. Stephanie also sees you as her big brother, and I am sure she won't be sad if I don't attend her birthday party" Leo said."So you are just going to ditch your sister's birthday all because of a girl?" I asked."Yeah, but I am going to make it up to her. Stephanie loves money a lot, so I am going to use that to bribe her, but please attend her birthday party, so she won't feel sad that her big brothers didn't attend her birthday" Leo said, pleading with me.Stephanie has always considered me as her brother, so I knew how sad she was going to
[ Mavis's POV ]I carried Denise as if she was an egg, as I climbed the staircases with her. She spent a day at the hospital, and it was I who insisted she spent a day in the hospital, because of how scared she was before I entered the elevator with her. Her best friend, Bella, dropped by at the hospital, and the way she cared for Denise made me believe Denise was in safe hands.The four of us got the opportunity to get to know each other better. For example, I knowing Bella, and Denise knowing my best friend Leo. Denise and I have been bonding well after we knew we met each other at Stephanie's party, years ago."You don't have to carry me Mavis, I can walk on my own" Denise said, but her hands were wrapped around my arms, not making an attempt to let go of it. She was just making a fuss, she actually wanted me to carry her, so I decided to play along with the drama she was portraying."I know you can walk Denise, I just want to carry my wife" I said, and Denise smiled, resting her h
[ Mavis's POV ]I went back to my office after I had talked with the maintenance department, with a sullen look on my face. I couldn't just understand why these things kept happening. If not that I knew about Denise's trauma, she'd have died just the same way Ava did. I wonder how I would feel if that had happened. I sat down when I got to my office, and I logged into the footage that showed everything about my dad. Ever since the spy I hired connected me to the tracking device in my dad's walking stick, we haven't been in touch. We haven't been in touch because he hasn't found anything suspicious about my dad, anytime he follows him.I looked at the past things my dad has done from the footage in my phone, but nothing seems suspicious. All he does is read his books, talk to my mom and sleep. Is my dad really the mastermind behind everything that happened to Ava and Denise? Does he just hate the women in my life, but have no bad intentions towards them? I thought within myself.But i
[ Mavis's POV ]After I read the message, I ran out of my office, straight to the rooftop of my company. I was panting heavily when I got to the rooftop, I looked around, but I didn't see anyone. It was quite like it has always been. I called the number that sent me the message, but it wasn't going through. I tried calling the number a thousand times, but it wasn't connecting. It was really frustrating me, whoever this person is, is trying to play games with me.Another message came from this anonymous person, and I hurriedly read the message which said *I knew you were going to fall for my trick, don't try looking for me, you won't find me. I will be the one to come to you myself, but maybe by then, your precious Denise will be Dead.My eyes widened after I read the last sentence of the message. With a trembling hand, I called Denise. She was taking time to pick the call, and that increased the beating of my heart, because all that I could think of was negative thoughts."Hello Mavis
[ Mavis's POV ]I halted my feet from climbing the staircases and I turned to look at my dad. "What did you just say?" I asked, trying to verify if my ears heard him correctly.My dad smiled lightly before speaking. "You should come with Denise the next time you visit. Let's have dinner together" He said."Why do you want to have dinner with Denise?" I asked. Because I couldn't just understand why my dad wants to have dinner with Denise. Isn't he the same man who came to my house some days ago, and treated Denise like she was a piece of trash?"I just want to know her," He said, but that didn't answer my question."You haven't answered my question dad. Why are you interested in knowing Denise after what you did to her?" I asked, remembering how he grabbed Denise's collar. Here I was feeling sorry for him, but he had ruined everything. Now I don't know if I should feel sorry for him, or if I should just continue hating him."Is not a bad thing if I get to know my daughter-in-law, right
[ Denise's POV ]I looked at Mavis who was smiling so fondly at my sister, and at the same time, caressing her hair that was styled in two ponytails. I raised my hand, and it slowly landed on my chest, and I could feel the beating of my heart. Mavis just said he loves me, and it felt so real and true, unlike when he said those three words to his mom when we were faking to be in love. Does Mavis really love me, or is he just making that up? I thought within me, as my eyes never left Mavis's face."Why are you looking at your husband like you haven't met him before?" My mom asked, and her voice woke me up from my thoughts. I looked at Mavis, and he beamed a smile at me."Let's eat" My mom said, and we went to the dining table. We had only three chairs because it has just been Angela, my mom and I who always eats at our little dining table."I will sit in uncle Mavis's lap" Angela said, smiling. Mavis has been carrying her because Angela refused to come down from his body, and she saw t
[ Denise's POV ]Before leaving the house, I made sure I locked the entrance door of Mavis's house, before leaving. That's why I was beyond shocked when I saw the door wide open, and what triggered me the most was how scattered the house was. The expensive chairs worth millions of dollars were turned upside down, The TV was smashed to the ground, including the beautiful flames in Mavis's living room. Bottles were scattered all over the place, likewise the flower vases too. Someone broke into Mavis's house, but who could it have been."Mavis" I called his name and I could see the surprise on his face. I guess this is the very first time someone has broken inside his house. But looking around the house, the person didn't come to steal, it was as if he wanted to input fear inside Mavis."Who could have done this?" I asked, even when I know Mavis has no answer to the question I just asked."I have no idea Denise" He said looking upset. He spent a lot of money making his house standout, bu
