[ Denise's POV ]The dresses Mavis bought for me were extremely beautiful and no doubt very expensive. They were three in number. The first gown was short, the second dress was a bit longer, while the last dress was long.I decided to go for the strapless body-con gown because I have never worn any short gown in my Twenty one years of living. The gowns I have always stopped on my knee joint, including the dresses Mavis got for me.I was amazed by how good it looked on me. Today is my first time wearing a body-con gown, and I realized I might not have a bogus backside, but I at least I have well shaped curved hips.I smiled at myself in the mirror, before going downstairs to meet Mavis. I was still mad at him for not apologizing to me, but I came to realize that no matter how angry I get, he won't apologize to me, because he is a proud peacock."I am ready" I said to Mavis who had his eyes fixed on the TV program he was watching.Mavis stood up from the chair he was sitting on, and rat
[ Mavis's POV ]I was pleased when Denise played along with the game. I thought she was going to be shaken because her ex-boyfriend was standing in front of her. It's hard to get over your first love, so I was expecting Denise to be swayed by Jake's words, but she didn't. Rather than getting swayed by his words, Denise supported me.I smiled when Denise said she loved me, even though I know she was lying, but as desperate as Jake was, he forcefully grabbed Denise's hand."You are lying Denise. Tell me it is not true, you are not in love with Mavis!!!" Jake saide in a loud voice attracting the attention of people that came to his party."What do you think you are doing Jake, let go of my hand" Denise said, trying to break free from his grip."I know you are lying Denise, you can't be in love with him, you are just covering up for him to make me sad" Jake said, still holding Denise's hand. Denise was hurting from the way Jake was holding her hand, so I punched him, and he fell to the gr
[ Denise's POV ]Mavis and I arrived at my house, and all through the way to my house, I badly wanted to ask Mavis about his dad. I was extremely shocked when he landed a slap on Mavis's face. I didn't know Mavis had a Dad until today at Jake's party. I can see the hateful dispute between Mavis and his dad, but how come about the hatred, why does Mavis hate his father and Jake so much?I thought within me.Mavis snapped his finger and that brought me to the present time of the world."Uh-huh" I said, looking at him, I have even forgotten that we are already in my neighborhood."Aren't you going to come down?" He asked, looking at me."Sure I will. What about you?" I asked."What about me?" He asked in return."Aren't you going to say Hi to my mom. I know we don't love each other, but until our divorce, she is still your mother-in-law" I said."I am not in the mood today Denise, maybe next time" He said, calmly. I clearly understand where Mavis was coming from. No one in his right mind
[ Denise's POV ]I was enjoying the kiss I was having with Mavis without realizing it. I had this sensational feeling after I felt Mavis's lips on mine. His lips were soft and had a mixture of tequila and strawberries, and I couldn't stop myself from kissing him back. As the kiss went on, Mavis's hand went inside the blouse I was wearing, and unhooked my bra, and that was when my senses returned back to me, I broke the kiss, and pushed Mavis away.Mavis's head landed on the bed, he drifted to sleep. I quickly left his room for mine, and I shut the door after I entered my room.I recalled how I reciprocated the kiss, and I screamed, scattering my hair. "Why did you kiss him back Denise, Why! Why!! Why!!!" I shouted at myself and at the same time, I slapped myself, my cheeks were red, because of the way I was slapping myself.Mavis was drunk, I shouldn't have kissed him back, I should have pushed him away instead of kissing him back. If something had happened between us, it could have b
[ Mavis's POV ]I came downstairs and I saw Denise sitting at the dining table eating already. I sat in the chair facing her, and Denise quickly buried her face on the food she was eating."You are going to choke if you continue eating that way" I said to her. Denise's head was buried in her food, and she was eating from it."It's not your choking spirit, so leave me alone . I like eating like this" Denise said. She was lying, because she was struggling to eat in that position. She is still kind of shy that she kissed me last night.I too was surprised that she kissed me back, but there is this sensational feeling that I have when Denise told me she kissed me, I don't know what it was, but somehow I just feel happy about it.But as annoying as I was, I decided to tease Denise about the kiss, and I also wanted to know why she kissed me back last night, because the Denise I know won't have hesitate to kill me."Why did you kiss me?" I asked, Denise choked immediately, and I smiled seein
[ Denise's POV ]When Mavis asked me why I kissed him, I lied to him. It wasn't for fun though, but it's clearly not because I feel something for Mavis. After what Jake did to me, I have decided to lock my heart from loving someone again, because I am really scared of getting my heart broken again, I don't want to go through a painful heartbreak again.I had to put on a serious face so that Mavis wouldn't think I enjoyed the kiss. I enjoyed kissing Mavis last night, his lips were just so soft and sweet. I had to wipe my lips in order to convince him that I meant what I said.I laughed when Mavis asked if I was beginning to fall in love with him, I didn't laugh just to spite him, I laughed because it was funny. He still has this believe that I am going to fall in love with his handsome face, but love isn't for me, and I am already regretting kissing him back. That's why I didn't want to talk about the kiss, but Mavis kept insisting on finding out why I kissed him.He got up from the ch
[ Mavis's POV ]I forgot to drink the hangover soup because of Denise. I was planning on drinking the hangover soup after I have breakfast with Denise, but the conversation I had with Denise earlier this morning made me forget that she had prepared a hangover soup for me to drink.I only remembered when I arrived at the company, my head was aching so badly and my eyes were blurry. I was having a hard time discussing business with my client, because the headache was too much for me to handle.After I ended the meeting with my client, I went back to my office, trying to lay my head to subside the headache I was feeling. I would have set Ethan to get me a hangover drink, but unfortunately he wasn't at the company today, because he has a family matter to handle, and Ethan is the only employee I trust.Crazy right? But that's me, I hardly give my full trust to people. I couldn't go outside the company to get a hangover drink, because I was weakened by the headache I was having. I was about
[ Denise's POV ]I left Mavis's office after he was done having the hangover soup. I really want to know what transpired between Mavis and his dad for them to have so much hatred for each other, but Mavis didn't want to tell me. It was like he didn't want me to associate with his dad, and it made me wonder if his Dad was bad, but his face looks innocent, then I remember you can't judge a book by its cover.Maybe I shouldn't bother myself with Mavis's problem, it shouldn't be my problem if he is having problems with his father.I left the company completely, and I heaved a sigh, looking at the skyscraper building in front of me, and I recalled how I badly prepared for my interview, just to be turned down by Mavis. Mavis really cut my dream short, and with what he did to me back then, I didn't expect that I would end up being his wife, even though it's not going to last long.But these past few days I have been with Mavis, he is kind of different from the man I used to know, and it made
[ 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
