🏵️ CHAPTER 104 🏵️"Believe it or not..."Ian is just using you, Harley. He's just using you to get what he want like he once used you. But I know that you're smart enough to know when to stop. I know that you're much more than Ian's puppet. At least that's one thing I can say about you " "The Harley I know... isn't like this. You're much more than a villain. So move on, Harley. I'm sure that you will find someone that will love you the way you want and give you everything I couldn't give you "Denzel let go of her shoulder. Harley on the other hand was already choking on her tears. Still, she couldn't deny Denzel made a point."I'm sorry. I'm really sorry " She looked down in shame and cried."It doesn't matter, Harley. I've already forgiven you so your apology doesn't mean anything to me neither does it affect me in any way ""I might have spoken to you in a soft tone. But believe me when I say... "Harley looked and was surprised at how stern and deadly Denzel's
🏵️ CHAPTER 105 🏵️Eloise and Charlotte where both seated at the living, staring at their phones which were placed on the center table. They were both tapping their feet impatiently on the tiled floor, rubbing their sweaty plans together like they were both expecting a call.Well, they were expecting a call.The two women had placed Dragon Empire for sell since they both couldn't even manage it. They needed the money for something else. Like Charlotte would always tell Eloise,"What's the point of trying to save an empire that was long gone and cannot be saved? It will only end up making us waste a lot of money we would use for something more important. So why not sell the empire and eat the money? "For months, they've kept Dragon's Empirr for sell and many businessmen had shown interest but none had agreed to buy it. Either they end up changing their mind at the dying minute or they suddenly loose interest in it.But lately, a serious buyer had shone interest and t
🏵️ CHAPTER 106 🏵️ The day for the final court hearing arrived and Eliose and Charlotte stepped out of their car with their heads up in pride, like they were 100% sure that they were going to win the case. The first person Charlotte spotted was Lena, stepping out of the car with Denzel, and the moment she saw her, Charlotte's face squeezed up in a deep frown of displeasure. She was jealous, probably because of seeing how affectionately Denzel held Lena and how much Lena had changed from the last time she saw her. Charlotte couldn't deny, Lena was getting even more beautiful each passing day and she couldn't deny, she was envious. Envious of the fact that Lena had Denzel by her side while her husband, Jason, is still in prison and she wasn't even sure whether he would ever be set free. Eliose also spotted Lena and a snort left her lips. Her blood started boiling as she glared at the the nobody, as she would always address Lena, who dared to take them to court? How dare she?! A

Denzel was sure of one thing; he was going to win this award like the other years because he had worked really hard for it.Lena on the other was ever ready to support her husband. She was confident he would win but even if he doesn't, she was ready to give him her support too.Downstairs waiting for the couple, were their four lovely cuties, who had a bright, confident broad smiles on their lips. The quadruplets were rooting for their father. They were confident he will win because just like little Ava will always say;"Daddy! You're not just our daddy but you're Superman and no matter what, you always win! "Backing Ava up were her siblings;"We are rooting for you, Daddy! " Ryan exclaimed."Yeah! Go show them that you're not Denzel Bre
🏵️ CHAPTER 108 🏵️ Ian got home with his hand still bleeding from the punch earlier. Waiting for him in the sitting room was Harley, who stood up and walked up to him. "So you're finally back? " "What are you doing here? " Ian hissed in irritation and Harley looked down at his bleeding arm. "You got into a fight with Denzel? Let me guess... he won and you lost? " She scoffed only to get a hard glare from Ian who grabbed her wrist. "Do you think I'm that pathetic? " His grip on Harley's wrist tightened making her hiss in pain. "Get lost!! " Ian let go of her hand and made to head upstairs when, "I'm leaving New City tomorrow " Harley's words made Ian pull a brake on his legs. Slowly he turned and look at Harley. "Why? " "Cause my job here is done. I'm done shooting the commercial I came here for so I'm leaving " Ian stared at Harley like she had grown two horns. "Just like that? What was all the 'I need to get my husband back at all cost' speech all about then? You're going
🏵️ CHAPTER 109 🏵️ DAYS LATERDenzel was in his dressing room together with Lena who was helping him mold his tie. They both were discussing and laughing about something."The kids and I want to visit Ma'am Amelia. It's been a long time since we went to her house. She's already missing us like crazy " Lena decided to change the topic. Denzel nodded in approval and replied,"Frankly, I would have joined but I need to attend this interview... ""I understand " Lena flashed him a smile."We can figure out another time to visit her, probably when you're less busy ""I'm done " Lena has successfully knitted the tie perfectly. She turned to get Denzel's coat lying on the chair when he pulled her back. "You're owing me an answer to a question, remember? "Denzel was talking about yesterday. Lena had fallen sick two days after the award ceremony and even though she didn't want to, Denzel forced her to go for a checkup. And yesterday, she returned with the result but ref
🏵️ CHAPTER 110 🏵️The interview was yet to begin when Denzel's phone rang. He answered seeing it was Lena but before he could say anything, the call was abruptly interrupted.Denzel frowned and called back. He was surprised when he was told that the number he was calling was not reachable at the moment. He tried Lena's number over and over again but still got the same reply.Denzel was already dead worried. He was so worried that he had to put the interview on a hold until he hears Lena's voice. With his heart beating hard against his chest, he phoned Mrs. Amelia."Hello, ma ""Denzel, my dear. How are you? ""I'm fine, ma'am. Erm, is Lena there with you? ""No, my dear. She went out to get something from the grocery store. She isn't back yet. But the kids are here with me ""Ok, thank you " Denzel ended the call without hesitation.If Lena isn't back yet then where the fuck did she go? Didn't she tell him she was done buying what she needed? How far is the store from M
🏵️ CHAPTER 111 🏵️ Lena finally opened her eyes. Ignoring all the pain she was feeling all over her body, she tried to move when she realized she was in an unfamiliar place but was even more shocked when she realized she was tied to a chair. "Who did this and where am I? " She couldn't help but wonder. "Denzel... " "Denzel are you here? " "Denzel... " "You know he can't hear you, right? " Lena was even more shocked to the bones when Ian walked in. He nonchalantly walked up to her, his hands lazily tucked into his pocket. "Your heartbeat isn't here, Lena. He is far, far away... probably six miles away " He snorted. "What is the meaning of this, Ian? " Lena glared at the man before her, struggling to break free from the grip of the rope. She let out a wince at the pain than ran through her body. "It's useless trying to break free Lena. I made sure of it " Grabbing her jaw tightly, Ian continued. "Now if I were you, I will just shut up and let your prince charming come to sav
