[ Denise's POV ]The set day for my mom to meet with Mavis and his mom finally came. I and Davis set up a date and time for both our mothers to meet, but not after arguing with each other.I could remember we spent hours on the phone, arguing about the time and location for our mothers to meet."My mom is a high class woman, she can't possibly come to you rat hole of a house" Mavis said."Who cares if your mom is a high class woman? You are the one getting married to me, so why should we be the one meeting your mom in your house" I said, not ready to back down from the argument we were engaging ourselves in.I guess dating a lawyer who never lost a case was benefiting."Why are you so hard-headed Denise? You're the one who needs my help the most, so you should abide by my rules"."You also need me to spite Jake, right? So you should put my words into consideration" I said.I won't be busy arguing with him if I was inside the house with my mom and Angela. When I called Mavis, I went a

[ Denise's POV ]I was having so much fun inside of me, by making my mom and Ma. Olivia think that Mavis was the first one to fall in love with me.I could see him boiling in anger because I told his mom that he was the first one to fall in love with me, but no matter how angry or furious he was, he couldn't say a word and only forced out a smile.I was literally doing everything on purpose, I haven't forgiven him for calling my mom useless, and for denying the chance of working in his company.I was enjoying every bit of lie I was saying to both my mom and Ma. Olivia, when Mavis all of a sudden pecked me, and I gasped with eyes wide opened.This wasn't the first time I got pecked in the cheek by a man, I can't count the number of times Jake has pecked me when we were still dating.Though he hasn't kissed my lips before, he has pecked my cheeks a lot of times when we were still new in our relationship.I was extremely shocked because I didn't expect Mavis to peck me out of the blue. T

[ 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

[ 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

[ 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
