[ Denise's POV ]I didn't talk to Ethan after the last conversation I had with him. I just kept my eyes on the window, looking at the people passing by, and the street's TV.Kendell Jenner was showing on one of the Tvs in the street, and if Bella was here with me, she'd have screamed so happily.Is not like I don't love Kendell Jenner, I mean she's beautiful and popular and it is impossible for anyone not to like her.The problem why I don't jump in excitement anytime I see Kendell Jenner on TV is because I am not into modeling.I don't get freaked out anytime models apart from Kendell Jenner show up on TV. But when chefs or surgeons are being shown on TV, I become excited.Is what I really want to become, but too bad, I can't be able to achieve those dreams. But being 21 years old, I had a feeling that I still have hope I will be able to achieve my dream.After all, some of these famous celebrities became famous when they were already in their late thirties.Thinking about that, I sm
[ Denise's POV ]After Angela went to the O.R for her surgery, Bella took me out of the hospital. My mom was the only one in the hospital patiently waiting for the outcome of Angela's surgery.I sat down on the bench at the park, looking at the people who were available in the park.Somewhere with their families, while some came as lovers. The park is the best place for lovers to go to, and come to think of it, I haven't been to the park with anyone, apart from Bella who is my best friend.Jake and I never spent so much time together, and the little time we spent together, we spent it at our usual restaurant where he always eats.He hardly takes me out, and I don't even bother him about it, because I wanted to be a good and considerate girlfriend to him, but he didn't appreciate my effort.I haven't seen him after my wedding with Mavis, neither did he call or text me, and I don't even care about it, what matters to me now is that Angela is already getting treated.Maybe love is not fo
[ 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
[ 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
