[ Denise's POV ]I was still eating the simple Noodles I made, and at the same time thinking about what Mavis said to me a few minutes ago.No matter how hard I try, I couldn't get it off my mind. I was still in deep thought, when the doorbell rang, and I woke up from my thoughts.I swallowed the noodles I had in my mouth, before going to the door, and I opened the door, and saw Ethan beaming a smile at me, he really came just like Mavis said he would."Good morning ma'am" He greeted.Why in God's name will Ethan greet me first and address me as ma'am. I am just Twenty one, I don't have rapid growth, so people could tell I am Twenty one years old just by looking at me.So why is he greeting me? I am sure he's older than me, and even older than Mavis, so why on earth did he just greet me?This isn't the first time he has seen me, and all those previous times we met, he never greeted me or addressed me as ma'am, so what changed.I cleared my throat. "Why are you greeting me?" I asked to
[ 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
