[ Mavis's POV ]I watched Leo closely, and I could see he was still breathing. Why he fainted after I said I was getting married this Sunday was something I couldn't figure out.Was it a shocking bombshell saying I will be getting married this Sunday? I thought within myself.I patiently waited for Leo to wake up, and when there wasn't any sign of him waking up, I went downstairs, got a bowl of chilled water and sprinkled it on his face.Leo gasps while waking up. "Where am I?" He asked breathing loudly."You are in my house, dummy. Why did you faint when I said I was getting married this Sunday?" I asked, and Leo looked at with a face filled with doubt."You are joking, right?""Does it look like I am joking? I'm dead serious about getting married this Sunday" I said."Maybe I should just faint and wake up again, because this isn't real," Leo said. He tried falling back to the bed, but I gave him a knock on the Head."Stop acting like a child," I said to him."Tell me you are joking
[ Denise's POV ]It took me some seconds to return back to myself, and I took my hand from Jake."What the heck are you saying Jake?" I asked him. He tried holding my hand again, but I shot him a deadly glare, and he withdrew from holding my hand."Denise, you don't have to get married to Mavis because you want him to pay for your sister's treatment. $600, 000 is a lot, but I am going to find a way to come up with the money, "he said."And you expect me to say thank you and call off the wedding?""Your sister is the reason you are getting married to Mavis, right?" Jake asked."I don't know how you got to find out, but I don't need your help" I said to him.I didn't want my mom to come to the room and see me and Jake talking, I don't know what lie to tell her if she sees us together."But you don't love him Denise"."You are right, I don't love Mavis, but that doesn't mean I will call off the wedding, just to accept your help"."Why don't you want to accept my help Denise? I'm trying t
[ Mavis's POV ]Saying I DO to something I didn't mean was a very hard decision for me. When the priest asked if I took Denise to be my lawful wedded wife, I just looked at her, and imagined her as Ava.I remembered that wonderful day when I got married to Ava, it was the happiest day of my life, and Ava was indeed looking so beautiful and elegant.Thinking about my marriage with Ava two years ago, I just imagined I was getting married to her again, and that's why I said I DO without any hesitation.And another reason was because I am finally having my revenge on Jake, by getting married to the woman he loves."Do you take Mavis. C. Brown to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold, and to love him until do you both apart" The priest asked Denise. I'd expected her to hesitate to answer the question since she only married me to save her sister.But Denise all of a sudden began shedding tears, making everyone wonder why she was crying. I literally didn't expect her to cry.I
[ Denise's POV ]After Mavis held my arms, I instantly realized I was actually getting married to him, not for my own good, but for my sister who will still fall back in the hospital if not treated.I looked at my sister, and I became determine to save her life, that was why I instantly said I DO. Thankfully, the priest skipped the marriage vows parts and went straight to blessing our marriage, and asking Mavis to kiss me as a sign of becoming one.When Mavis leaned closer to my lips, I held the hems of the wedding gown I was wearing. I haven't kissed a man before.When I and Jake were still a couple, he only pecked my cheeks and held my hand. I never for once thought that I'd be giving my first kiss to the man I hate so much.But when I thought about Angela, my one and only sister, I was ready to do everything and anything to save her.Mavis looked at my heart shaped lips for a while, before kissing me. I won't call it a kiss, because his lips just touched my lips.It was like a qui
[ Denise's POV ]I and Mavis didn't talk to each other all the way to his house. The ride was smooth, and Ethan kept his eyes fixed on the road, and I wonder why he was so loyal to an arrogant man like Mavis.I still haven't let go of what Mavis did to me in the church, and I was thinking of a way to get back at him for kissing me without my permission.He even had the guts to say my lips sucks. And what he said about punching me back if I punched him didn't get to me, because we are always going to fight and argue every single day.After a few minutes' drive, I eventually arrived at Mavis's residence, and just looking at the compound alone, made me gulped down hard as if I was seeing a delicacy meal in front of me.The structure of the building was beyond beautiful. If there was anything I could use apart from luxurious and beautiful to describe his house, I would gladly use it.If only the compound was this beautiful, I wonder how the inside was going to be. I knew Mavis was rich in
[ Denise's POV ]I looked at Mavis, and I could see he wasn't joking when he said I should run-around the house, since I am bored.He's indeed so wicked by saying that to me. I mean how can I stay in this big mansion alone when it is my first time here.I know we hate each other so much, but isn't he supposed to at least stay here with me since we just got married.His mansion is so big, and it was like he built it in a graveyard, because I can't even hear a single noise from outside, nor can I hear the passing by of motorcycles or cars.In my neighborhood, it was very lively. If you aren't hearing people fighting or quarreling, you will hear the passing by of cars or motorcycles.Or even some people playing very loud music from their houses, or children playing games outside. Sometimes my neighbors engages in an insulting competition.I will be inside the house, and be laughing at the insults they were laying on each other, and we lived more like a family.But here in Mavis's residen
[ Mavis's POV]You may be wondering how I got to know Denise's sizes of clothes. I'm not a lover of women, so I practically don't know her taste in clothes or even the sizes of clothes that suit her so well.When Ava was still alive, I used to take her out to get the dresses that suit her taste, because I know if I do it alone, I will buy it wrongly.So I called Ethan a few hours before our wedding to get Denise's size of clothes, and in a twinkle of an eye, he sent it to me.I don't know how he did, and I didn't bother to even ask how he got to know.I put one of the popular boutique on call to get beautiful clothes for Denise after I had sent them the sizes of the clothes I needed.I was doing this not because I cared about her not having anything to wear, if it was up to me, I'd have cared less if she wore raggy clothes.I'm doing it because I want Jake to think I am taking care of Denise. A thing he never did when he was still dating Denise.It's just the beginning of my revenge o
[ Denise POV ]My trauma of close spaces began in my 8th grade in middle school. I was probably fourteen years old then, but I haven't been able to overcome it since then.It all began when I and Bella attended a party. I refused to go with her because I didn't know the person throwing the party."Please let's just go to the party, we will be back before 8 o'clock" Bella said to me."But I don't know the person throwing the party, and you already know me, I don't go to parties I am not invited to," I said, letting my reason for not going to the party with her."I know the girl throwing the party, she is already in highschool, but she was the one who told me herself to come to her birthday party. I can't go alone, that's why I want you to go with me" Bella said.When Bella never stopped bugging me, I decided to go with her. I told my mom about it, and she agreed to it, giving us a deadline on when we were supposed to be back.I and Bella arrived at the party, and it was filled with gir
