[ Denise POV ]I walked back inside the restaurant with so much indignation inside of me. Who does Mavis. C. Brown thinks he is, to come to my place of work and ask me to marry him?If that was how marriage works, a lot of single ladies would have been married by now. If anyone taps me and says the man I just talked with is a psychopath, I will quickly believe he is.That man even dared to use my desperation to work as an intern at his company, but no matter how desperate I'm to achieve my dream of becoming a popular chef, I won't lower myself and get married to that arrogant man."Are you all right Denise?" Becca asked me, when she noticed how angry I was.Becca was also a waitress in the restaurant where I work. She is just the same age as me, but she was already a mom. A single mom though, because her supposed boyfriend eloped with another woman.This is also one of the reasons I don't want to have sexual intercourse with a man, till I am married to him. I don't want a situation wh
[ Denise's POV ]The siren sound of the ambulance could be heard loudly as it entered the hospital premises. After I found my sister lying on the bathroom floor unconscious, I screamed so loudly and my scream alerted my mom.My mom rushed inside the bathroom, and she almost lost it when she saw Angela unconscious on the floor, she broke into tears immediately, carrying Angela on her lap.I gathered up the little strength inside of me, although balls of tears were dropping down my eyes.My hands were shaking as I called 911, and immediately they picked, I told them the state my sister was in, with a crying voice.In just a few seconds, the ambulance bus arrived at my house. My sister was taken inside the ambulance bus, while mom and I followed suit, crying so heartbreakingly.Few nurses rushed out with a stretcher and my sister was placed on it. We tried to go inside the ER, but the doctor stopped us from entering inside the ER."My daughter needs me, I need to be with her" My mom sai
[ Denise's POV ]I covered my mom with the duvet, patting her gently. After hearing about my sister's condition from the doctor, my mom has cried so much in the hospital.I brought her home, and after lots of consoling she was able to sleep. Angela was still at the hospital, the doctor said, she needs to be given IV fluids and as such she needs to be in the hospital for a couple of days, and after that she is going to be discharged, until we are able to raise the money for her treatment.Six hundred thousand dollars was not a mere change, even if I work myself to death, we won't be able to raise the money for Angela's treatment, and according to the doctor, he said Angela needed the surgery, so it won't get out of hand.With tears in my eyes, I stood up from the bed, and walked towards the wardrobe, and I brought out the piggy bank from the wardrobe.Ever since I was a kid, I always had this habit of saving money in a piggy bank, in case of emergencies, or for urgent needs and my savi
[ Denise's POV ]Bella left my house after I told her I wasn't going to go to Jake for help. She is so mad at me and I won't blame her, but I still stood my ground that I wasn't going to go to Jake for help.I checked my phone and I haven't received any call from Jake ever since we met at the restaurant a few days ago, he didn't even reply to my text.But that didn't bother me, all that mattered was raising money for my sister's surgery, and due to over-thinking, I arrived at my workplace late, and my boss, who didn't know what I was going through, scolded me for coming to my shift late.I apologized to him, and quickly began to attend to the available customers at the restaurant.Becca noticed my sad face, but since she was still mad at me for raising my voice at her when she talked about Mavis, she didn't bother to ask me what was wrong.After my shift at the restaurant, I decided to try my luck to see if the owner of the restaurant was going to give me a helping hand in raising mon
[ Denise's POV ]My heart shattered immediately when I saw Jake having sex with another woman. For a few seconds, I went numb. The only thing that was moving was my eyes, because it kept producing tears.So this is the reason why Jake never had time for me, and if by chance he asks us to meet up, he is always in a hurry to leave.Why was I so stupid not to have thought Jake was cheating on me? I saw the signs but I chose to ignore it.Regaining myself from the shock I just saw, I looked at the both of them again, the lady he was having sex with was using her clothes to cover herself, and as for Jake he was already wearing his boxer with his erected dick, showing in his boxer.He walked up to me, and before he could say a word to me, I landed a slap on his face. This is what a lady will do when she catches her boyfriend cheating, right?.Jake touched his cheek and looked at me with a surprised face. The slap must have been painful, but it was nothing compared to the pains I was going t
[ Denise's POV ]I heard a rumbling noise, as my eyes were still closed. The last thing I could remember was fainting in the middle of the road, was I still laying on the ground, or have I gone to the afterlife?Curious to know about where I was, I slowly began to open my eyes, and I saw two figures looking at me, and when I finally opened my eyes, I discovered it was Bella and my mom looking at me."Denise, are you all right?" I could hear my mom ask. I sat up in the bed, I looked around, and I discovered I was in the hospital."I'm fine mom" I answered her question, wondering how I got here. Bella, having read my mind, said she was the one who found me in the middle of the road and took me to the hospital, since I fainted."Why did you faint Denise? What happened to you?" My Mom asked worriedly.There was no way I could tell her I fainted because I found out that the man who I love so much broke my heart, by cheating on me."I was stressed out that's why I fainted" I lied to her, an
[ Denise's POV ]At first I wanted to stop Bella from punching Jake's face, but on second thought, I chose not to. Since Jake could cheat on me without being remorseful, Bella should teach him an unforgettable lesson of his life."Why are you punching him?" The lady Jake was with asked Bella, and I recognized her voice immediately.She is the same woman who called Jake the last time we met. Jake really knows how to lie, and I was too stupid to believe that she was his cousin.Bella looked at the woman, and without thinking twice, she slaps the living daylight out of her, and she falls, joining Jake on the floor."You have always been the only man Denise loved, so how dare you cheat on her with this ugly masquerade!" Bella shouted at Jake, punching his face again.I could see the blood gushing down from his nostrils, and somehow I wasn't affected by it. This is the price he has to pay for breaking my heart.Jake couldn't even do anything to Bella, he might be a man, but he is kind of w
