[ Denise's POV ]I looked at Mavis, and I could see he wasn't joking about what he just said, and I know for sure that this ruthless man sitting close to me won't help me except if I agrees to marry him.But there is no way I am going to marry Mavis. Just like he said, he is Jake's cousin, and I can't get married to the cousin of the man I just broke up with.Moreover, getting married to the man I love is another thing I have always dreamt of, and I hate Mavis so much with everything inside of me, that if I'm giving a gun to kill him, I'll gladly kill him.There's no way I'm going to get married to Mavis, and say vows that I know are not true in the sight of God."What did you say Denise? Are you going to marry me?" He asked."Do you think marriage is a child's play? You want to marry me just to spite Jake, does it make sense to you?" I asked."I don't see anything wrong with what I just said. After I am done spiting Jake to my satisfaction, we can get a divorce" Get a divorce? This
[ Denise's POV ]It's been one week since Angela got discharged from the hospital, and my mom and I have been doing all we can to raise the money for her treatment before her illness gets worse.Bella had tried talking to her brother who works in Singapore, but he was able to help out, because he was giving a suspension at work.I took up odd jobs such as cleaning and washing of clothes for people who couldn't do it themselves, but the money wasn't up to what was needed.My mom has been working without resting too. She has talked to her boss about lending her some money, but her boss refused to give her a single penny, saying she has no money.I knew my sister's treatment would have longed to be done if I had agreed to marry Mavis. C. Brown. But I just can't get married to the man I hate so much.We will always end up fighting and arguing with each other, and that's not the kind of marriage I want for myself.If he wants to spite Jake, he should find another means of doing so, not usi
[ Mavis's POV ]I have been anticipating for Denise to come back to me, saying she was going to get married to me, but I never expected it to be this early.Though it's been a week since she turned down my proposal, and I was waiting for her to come back probably a month later, but here she is standing in front of me saying she wants to accept my proposal.I guess her sister's predicament has turned from bad to worse and that's why she has no choice but to come to me, accepting to marry me, so I will pay for her sister's surgery, like I said I would.Being an annoying man which I know I am, I decided not to flow with her, because she played hard to get at first."Why do you suddenly want to marry me?""You want to marry me, right? So I'm here to accept your proposal, and in exchange you will pay for my sister's surgery.I looked at her, and I could see the visible tears in her eyes, but it didn't get to me.I hate her so much that even if she is dying, I won't blink an eye. If not for
[ Denise's POV ]I left Mavis's office after making a deal with him, and I know for sure that I will never bring myself to love an arrogant man like him.Once he is done spiting Jake like he said, I'm going to divorce him, never to cross part with him again.I had called my mom telling her that Angela was in the hospital, so when I arrived at the hospital, she was already sitting beside Angela, who was still sleeping."Where did you go to Denise?" She asked, cleaning the tears in her eyes. I could tell she was hurt seeing Angela in such a state."I just step out for a while mom" I answered sitting beside her.There was silence between the both of us, and I kept looking at her, not knowing how to tell her that I was getting married."Do you have something to say?" She asked."Huh""You have been staring at me for some minutes now, do you want to discuss something with me?"My mom knows me so well. Anytime I have something difficult to say to her, I will always stare at her face.I clea
[ Denise's POV ]I fell on the bed immediately after I arrived home. My mom had told me to go home, that she was going to take care of Angela throughout the night at the hospital.She has informed her boss about it, and I will call her a Jezebel, because she said she was going to deduct my mom's salary, not minding my sister was in the hospital.If I had the money, my mom would have stopped working for that Jezebel that calls herself Mrs. White.My mom had told me earlier that she was going to see Mavis, anytime I'm ready to introduce him to her, and I was thinking of a way to tell Mavis about it.We already exchanged phone numbers, but calling him was the problem. I hate hearing his voice. His husky voice was charming, but yet I hate it, I just hate everything about Mavis, including that handsome face of his.Nevertheless, I got up from the bed and had a night shower, and when I was done, I went to the kitchen to get something to eat.I sat at the dining table eating a bowl of cornfl
[ Mavis's POV ]I smiled lightly after coming down from my white Lamborghini car, I couldn't get off the thought of Denise accepting my proposal, now I have finally found a way to make Jake pay.I'm going to use Denise to make him jealous, jealous to the extent that he will long to have her, but he is never going to have her.That's the kind of revenge I want to have on him, for supporting my dad. If not for Jake, my dad would have been rotting in jail for sending the only woman I have ever loved to her early grave.Denise is the key to having my revenge on Jake brown, and I am more than happy that she finally agreed to my proposal. Like I said before, $600,000 was nothing to me.It was something I could afford in a twinkle of an eye. I entered the house, and saw my mom setting the table, like she knew I was home already."Mom" I muttered, looking surprised to see her.She often drops by anytime she feels like, and I wasn't expecting her to be in my mansion today."How are you son?" S
[ Denise's POV ]The set day for my mom to meet with Mavis and his mom finally came. I and Davis set up a date and time for both our mothers to meet, but not after arguing with each other.I could remember we spent hours on the phone, arguing about the time and location for our mothers to meet."My mom is a high class woman, she can't possibly come to you rat hole of a house" Mavis said."Who cares if your mom is a high class woman? You are the one getting married to me, so why should we be the one meeting your mom in your house" I said, not ready to back down from the argument we were engaging ourselves in.I guess dating a lawyer who never lost a case was benefiting."Why are you so hard-headed Denise? You're the one who needs my help the most, so you should abide by my rules"."You also need me to spite Jake, right? So you should put my words into consideration" I said.I won't be busy arguing with him if I was inside the house with my mom and Angela. When I called Mavis, I went a
[ Mavis's POV ]Not planning with Denise about how we will met was a mistake we made. We were in a hurry to introduce our moms to each other, without remembering the basics.Moreover, I didn't expect Denise's mom to ask us how we met. I mean how can she ask such a question when we aren't in the nineties.I looked at the faces of the elderly women, and I could see lots of confusion on their faces, as to why I and Denise answered differently."What is going on here?" My mom asked.I could sense Denise was short of words, and I don't want my mom to find out I actually lied to her, which will result in my plan to spite Jake go down the drain.I cleared my throat and tightened my arm around Denise's shoulder. Even though I don't want to hold her, I have to convince them by being sweet to Denise, which wasn't my thing."Babe, you're so forgetful, we met at the coffee shop, when I mistakenly spilled my coffee on you" I said and Denise gave out a pretending laugh.I was the only one who could
[ 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
