[ Denise POV ]"Why are you looking at me?" Mavis asked, snapping me out of my thoughts, I cleared my throat but said nothing to him."Was it funny to you, making them think I fell in love with you?" Mavis asked."Yes it was fun, but all that matters is we were able to convince them we are in a relationship, that's what you also want your mom to believe, right?" I asked him with my arms under my breasts."You have a point, but just so you know, I will never bring myself to fall in love with a lady like you".I snickered after he said that. "I don't want you to even fall in love with me, so don't bother saying it, because I hate you more than anything in the world" I said with a serious look on my face.Mavis nodded his head, like he was pleased with what I said. I don't need a soothsayer to tell me that Mavis doesn't have the heart to love, and I fucking don't give a darm about it."So your mom doesn't know about Jake?" He asked.I took in my lips before giving answers to his question
[ Denise's POV ]I left Mavis in the restaurant after telling him I was going to get back to him, considering my marriage with him.I know I needed to save my sister, but why am I hesitating? Maybe it's because I am not ready to walk down the aisle with someone I don't loved.But I have already told him I was going to marry him, and there was no going back, and besides my mom already believed my cooked up lies.I visited Angela in the hospital after I left the restaurant, and she begged me to prepare her a homemade meal, which I agreed to do without a blink.I left the hospital leaving Angela in the care of my mom. I brought all the important ingredients needed to prepare a homemade meal for my sister, and began walking back to our house.I was still on it, when my phone rang inside my canvas tote bag, and I brought it out.My eyebrows furrowed when I saw it was Jake calling. With the issues going on with Angela, I forgot to delete his number.But why was he calling me? I thought to m
[ Denise's POV ]Ever since I and Jake started dating, he has never really acted like this towards me. Was he still in love with me? But if he loves me like he claims, why then will he cheat on me?."Please Denise, reconsider your decision about getting married to Mavis. I promise to be good from now" Jake said, now he knows he was never a good boyfriend to me.I pushed him away from my body slightly, and he looked at me with those misty eyes of his."Why didn't you introduce me to your uncle for once?" I asked him."Well… "It was because you were ashamed of me, right? You couldn't introduce me to your family because you didn't want them to know you were dating a low class girl, right?"Jake didn't answer any of my questions, because he knows I was saying the truth."I loved you Jake, the heavens knows how much I loved you, but you took my feelings for granted" I said, cleaning the tears that kept producing themselves from my eyes."I'm sorry Denise" He said, trying to hold my hand,
[ Mavis's POV ]I wasn't actually expecting Jake to come to my house, nor was I expecting him to punch me, because the Jake I know doesn't know how to throw a punch.I stood up from the ground, and wiped the blood on my lips. "Why the heck did you punch me?" I asked him, trying to control myself, because if not I will just decorate his face with punches."Why are you getting married to her!!" Jake shouted at me. I instantly knew he was talking about Denise, but I pretend not to know, so I can spite him, that's the reason why I am getting married to Denise anyways."Who?""Don't pretend like you don't know what I am talking about. Why are you getting married to Denise? Of all the women in the world you could get married to, why did you choose to get married to the woman I love!" Jake shouted, with his eyes all red.I smirked when I saw the saddest in his face. I was right after all. He indeed loves Denise so much. He can't keep his dick to himself that's why he cheated on her.Now he k
[ 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
