🏵 CHAPTER 09 🏵 " Surprised to see me, Lena? " Lena stared at the man before with a blank expression but deep down she was fuming in anger. He was the last person she expected to see after six long years. To even begin with, what was he doing here? " Did you miss me so much? " Jason had a smug smirk up his lips. He was a bit older than the last time Lena saw him, with some faint beard covering his face. " I can't even remember the last time you crossed my mind " Lena scoffed and pushed him off. She made to leave when, " You're lying, Lena. I can see it in your eyes " Jason pulled her back to himself, his hands gripping her waist. Lena was disgusted and shot him a glare. " Fucking let go of me, Jason " " Why? " Jason grinned and tilted his head to her ear. " Didn't you miss me holding you like this? " He whispered and Lena's body squirmed in disgust. Jason saw it and frowned. Seeing Lena after six years looking healthy and even more beautiful, Jason was shocked. He wasn't ex
🏵 CHAPTER 10 🏵 It was playing time for the kids at school and little Ava can be seen with her new friend. Lucas was showing her around the school. The little boy showed her many places; each class in the school and everywhere she needed to see and now, he took her to the school playground. " Come on, Ava. Let's play on the seesaw! " The little boy pulled Ava along. Little Ava was hesitant. There were many children in the playground and she wasn't comfortable one bit. She was nervous as all eyes were now on her and Lucas. But the jovial boy didn't care. " You don't have to be scared, Ava. Your little friend is here to help you have fun. Com'on you're going to enjoy it " After much persistence, little Ava finally agreed. The two kids sat on the seesaw and got to business. At first, Ava was scared and nervous but as the two of them played more, the little girl forget totally that other kids were staring at them. She was having fun! " Yay!! " The little girl squeaked in excitement
🏵 CHAPTER 11 🏵 " Step a foot out of this office and I will make sure no one in the whole of New City, hires you " Lena froze in shock before slowly turning to look at Denzel who was glaring at her but with a blank expression. " Huh? Why will do that? " The cold man stood and walked up to her. His tall figure and dangerous aura stood before her and intimidated the short woman. With a sly smirk, the cold man tilted forward, barely creating a distance between their faces. " Because you don't have the fucking right to quit " " But you've always wanted to fire me. Why can't I be the one to quit instead? " " You said it yourself, Mrs. Estrella...I should be the one to fire you and not the other way round. And don't worry, I haven't changed my mind about that yet. You haven't completed your 10 tasks, remember? " " So until I fire you..." Denzel held her chin and tilted her head up to stare him dead in the eye. His eyes went down to her lips and he stroked it with his thumb, a mi
🏵 CHAPTER 12 🏵 It was Sunday and a free day for Lena. All she planned for today was to spend time with her kids and just like she had promised them, she took them out to the Park. Aida, Ryan, and Evans were all hyper and excited. Little Ava on the other hand wasn't that excited. She never liked going to the Park. Why? Because there are a lot of kids and people there. Immediately they all entered the Park, the heart of the little girl started hammering hard against her chest. Waves of uncomfortableness washed down her and she immediately grabbed Lena's hand. Lena noticed how uncomfortable she was and squatted to her level. " Are you scared? " The little girl wanted to nod a yes but then her eyes spotted something. A little girl of about the same age as her can be seen seated on a bench and playing with her doll. Just then, a man walked up to her and covered her eyes from the back. A smile drew up the girl's lips. " Daddy!! " The girl giggled and the man chuckled. He turned
🏵 CHAPTER 13 🏵 " Daddy?..." Ryan stared at the man before him in shock. Why does this man look exactly like him? Why does he have the same eyes as him? Is he their long lost Daddy? Denzel on the other hand had stepped out to know the fool that was throwing stones at his car. The cold man had just stepped out and a cupcake was thrown right at his expensive suit. His brows pinched in anger. The cold man looked up only to see three little kids gaping at him with parted lips. His eyes landed on the boy in the middle and they widened. The cold man for the first time was dumbfounded. He was shocked to see a little boy who looked exactly like him. The boy was a total replica of him when he was little. Was it just a coincidence? The cold man was still trying to digest that when, " Hey, Mister. Why do you look like me? Why do the same green eyes with me? Are you my daddy or are you me from the future? " Ryan bugged and Denzel was left completely dumbfounded. " Is that what you're sup
🏵 CHAPTER 14 🏵 STILL AT THE PARK " Why did you come back, Lena? " Charlotte glared at the woman before her in disgust. Her eyes stylishly went down to Lena's fingers, looking for a wedding ring. When she didn't see any, a smug smirk crept up her lips. Lena on the other hand wasn't in the mood to talk to Charlotte. She wasn't interested in whatever discussion Charlotte was trying to bring up. " Listen, Charlotte, I have things to do. I don't have time to waste talking to you " " Oh. Is your...husband waiting for you? " Charlotte stressed the 'husband', stylishly flashing her wedding ring before Lena with a proud smirk on her lips. Lena knew what she was trying to do and a scoff left her lips. Almost then, a boy of about seven years ran up to them. " Mom, I want this car " The little boy held and pulled Charlotte's hand. The proud woman grinned and eyed Lena who only stared with a blank expression and folded arms. " Asher, my dear. What do you want? " The proud wom
🏵 CHAPTER 15 🏵 THE NEXT MORNING Lena can be seen running inside the airport. She glanced at her watch and heaved seeing she still has six minutes left. Lena had explained everything thing to the quadruplets and the little kids understood. They even supported for her to go. This was the first time leaving the kids and flying out of the country but she knew she would gain by going to this business trip and of course, she won't be getting fired. The short woman got to the private plane and entered only to see the cold man already present. Oh, she forgot. This boss of hers was an early freak. His type of person would come to an event even way before the person who hosted the event arrives so far it has to do with business. " Good morning, Sir " Denzel barely looked up at her. " Grab a seat, Mrs. Estrella " Was all he said and Lena complied. A document was handed over to her. " Go through the proposal. Point out any mistakes that need to be corrected before we get to
🏵 CHAPTER 16 🏵 " If I touch you, Lena... I swear you won't be able to walk tomorrow " Lena was snapped back to her senses and her eyes snapped open immediately. Seeing as Denzel's eyes were filled with nothing but lust, she almost choked. A hot blush stained her cheeks and she closed her eyes in embarrassment. Denzel saw that and scoffed. " Go take your bath, Lena " The cold man crawled off the bed. Lena, without hesitation, sprang off the bed and rushed to the bathroom, locking the door and resting on it. The short woman closed her and let out a heave, her heart hammering hard against her chest. Remembering what happened, another hot blush crept into her cheeks. " What are you doing, Lena? " She slapped herself, nodding negatively. " Calm down, Lena, calm down. Why are you suddenly so excited? " She breathed out, trying to calm her racing heart. All that popped into her mind was Denzel's bare chest and the short woman blushed yet again. If not that she was snapped back to r
