[ Mavis's POV ]I came down from my car after I packed it in the garage. Denise wasn't with me, because I took her home, and left the house saying I have somewhere important to go. I didn't have an important place to go to, I only lied to Denise, because I didn't want her to find out the surprise I had for her.I saw the phone Denise was using when she dropped it beside me last night. It was old, and the screen of the phone had so many cracks on it, and that's why I decided to get her a new smartphone, at least she will no longer use her cracked phone anymore. I also got her a brand new laptop, not because I didn't want to share mine with her, but I just wanted her to have her own laptop, so she can communicate with the people she'd love to talk to.After I got her a laptop and a brand new phone, the next thing that came to my mind was getting her mom a laptop too. At least Denise can always video call her family anytime she wants to, because I know she misses them so much.I told Eth
[ Denise's POV ]The moment I felt Mavis's fresh breath on my face, I had this urge to kiss him, and when I saw he was trying to move away from me, I grabbed his collar and kissed him. I was sitting in the kitchen cabinet, so it was easy for me to reach for his lips. Mavis didn't kiss me back at first, I guess he was shocked that I kissed him, but after he came from his world of surprise, he reciprocated the kiss.I don't know what came over me, but all I could say I was enjoying the sweetened taste of Mavis's lips. I remembered when Mavis first kissed me just to spite Jake, and I was so mad at him for kissing me. I even had to brush my teeth countless times just to come off the taste of Mavis's lip, but here I am kissing him, like his lips were producing milk.As for Jake, I haven't heard from me ever since he hugged me, and left Mavis's house. Well I no longer care about him, he is a past I want to forget.I wanted to break the kiss, but I didn't know what was holding back. It was a
[ Denise's POV ]I rushed inside the hospital panting so heavily. Becca has informed me she was in the hospital, and needed someone by her side. I and Becca might not be close, but I can't just ignore her when she needs me.I got the ward number Becca was admitted in, and I saw her laying on the bed. Her head was bandaged and she has lots of bruises on her face, especially her eye area, which looked reddish and swollen."Becca" I said, approaching her."Denise" Becca called my name breaking into tears."What happened to you Becca?" I asked, sitting beside her."I am sorry I called you Denise, but I have no one to call except for you, my family isn't picking my call, because they see me as a disgrace" She said crying, and I rubbed her shoulder, trying to console her."It's fine Becca. What happened to you, why are you in such a state?" I asked, wondering why she has so many bruises, because the last time I saw her, she wasn't this way.Becca sniffed back her tears, so she could talk, a
[ Mavis's POV ]I left the house early, not because I was mad at Denise. I am trying to figure out why she kissed me and ran away, but it clearly didn't mean l was mad at her. I enjoyed the kiss, so there was nothing to get mad about. The reason why I told Denise I was going to come late today was because today happens to be the death anniversary of Ava, making it three years that she left this world. I told Ethan about it, and he promised to look after the company till I am back.Ava is an orphan who lost her parents at a young age, she has only an old aunt, who stays in a very far end of America, and that's why I wake up early, so I would be able to arrived at her house on time, and that's the reason why I told Denise I will be home late.Ava's aunt was happy to see me, because up until now, I still come for her niece's death anniversaries. Ava wasn't a pure citizen of America. Her dad was from Korea while her mom was a citizen of America. Ava's aunt was from Korean too, so her deat
[ Mavis's POV ]A part of me left my body after Leo informed me that Denise is locked inside an elevator in my company, and she is unable to get out. How did that happen? The entire elevators in my company were working perfectly, because I always make sure the maintenance department looks after it. So how on earth did one of the elevators stopped working? But this wasn't the time to ask a question, Denise needs me, and I must save her. Denise is always traumatized anytime she can't find her way out of a room or close doors. I have to save her before anything bad happens to her. I don't know how I am going to do it, but I am going to save her. I entered my car, and drove to my company in great speed, not minding the pedestrians or vehicles on the road. My heart was seeking in fear as I drove to my company.I got down from my car, and quickly entered the elevator, leading to where Denise was taking her training from Beatrice and her team, but the elevator was not working. The engineeri
[ Denise's POV ]The sobbing sound of my cry filled the whole elevator. The elevator was dark, and as such I couldn't see anything. I was shaking in fear, and the reason why I haven't run out of breath is because of the thought of how my Mom and Angela are going to feel if I die. But I was slowly running out of breath, wishing someone could come to my rescue. The incident of how I got locked up in a restroom toilet, and how fire penetrated inside the toilet I was in, came flashing back at me. This always happens anytime I can't get out of closed doors.I have survived it, but this time, I don't think I will be able to survive, because no one is going to come to my rescue. I am locked up in an elevator, and there was no way anyone could break the door of the elevator, just to save me. I thought of my mom, Angela, and my best friend, Bella. These three people are the most important people in my life, and I am sure they are going to be in pain, if they find out I am dead. I tried holding
[ 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
