🏵 CHAPTER 24 🏵 " Mom, meet my fiancee, Lena " Denzel introduced nonchalantly. Mrs. Monica Brenton stared at the woman beside Denzel with a stern look. The old woman wasn't smiling and she wasn't happy either. " Good evening, ma. It's so nice to meet you " Lena smiled broadly at her. Lena was surprised. This old woman was extremely beautiful and probably where Denzel got his good looks from. She was in a simple yet sophisticated dress. " Elena Estrella " The old woman called and Lena was shocked. How did she find out her real name? Her late mother was the only being that called her by her full name. Unknown to her Monica had already done a thorough inquiry into who she was. The old woman also knew about her kids. Monica didn't have a problem with Lena but her being a single mother was the problem. She wasn't married because there weren't any divorce rumors about her. " Can I have a word with my daughter-in-law, in private? " Denzel eyed his mother. Before walking away, " Don'
🏵 CHAPTER 25 🏵 The celebration was going on perfectly fine but Lena couldn't concentrate. Her mind couldn't rest after what Monica told her. What truly happened to her father and what does Eloise and Charlotte have to do with it? She excused herself to the bathroom to calm herself and that was when she bumped into Eloise, Charlotte, and Jason. And when they started mocking and trying to humiliate her, Lena couldn't take it anymore and did something big without thinking it through. She wrapped her hands around the cold man and kissed him. Denzel was taken back and his eyes widened. As usual, Lena didn't know how to kiss. She shut her eyes, nibbled, and sucked on Denzel's like a kid sucking on a lollipop. The cold understood and ran his hand up her exposed back and held her neck. He pulled her in and took over in a slow, passionate kiss. Lena completely forgot she was only pulling off a show. A subtle moan left her lips and she pressed herself closer to Denzel. Eloise, Charlotte,
🏵️ CHAPTER 26 🏵️ " Then tell me to. Tell me what you want, Lena " Denzel leaned forward and barely placed his lips on that of Lena but he didn't kiss her yet. A subtle moan left Lena's lips and Denzel's husky voice made her weak on the knee. " Kiss me, Mr. Brenton " She didn't even realize when it left her lips. She nudged him closer and pressed her lips against his. Kissing the side of her mouth, the cold man smirked. " In your wildest dreams, Mrs. Estrella " Denzel whispered and pulled away. Lena snapped her eyes open immediately and they met the cold man with a sly grin. The short woman laughed and looked away, shyly biting her lips. The party continued and throughout, Lena tried as much as she can to avoid Denzel. She didn't want what happened earlier to repeat itself. It turned out that whenever she was around this boss of hers, she seem not to know how to control herself. By the time the party was over, Lena was drunk. The short woman only took a glass of wine and bei
🏵️ CHAPTER 27 🏵️ Charlotte stormed into the house, her face red and fuming in anger. She kept pacing to and fro, her left hand on her waist and the other on her temple, in an attempt to calm herself down. " How did this happen? " Was the first question that left her lips. " How is this possible? How and when did that useless woman even meet Mr. Brenton talk more about them getting married and...and having kids? " " How is she always happy? Why does she always get the good things, why?! " Charlotte yelled. Jason walked in and saw her standing and panting angrily. The greedy man hissed. Like she was not even in existence, the greedy man walked past her to the stairs. " And you, where do you think you're going? " Charlotte's voice halted him. The greedy man ignored her and made to proceed with where he was heading when, " I'm talking to you Jason, are you deaf?! " Jason rolled his eyes and groaned. " What?! " He snapped. " What? Is that it? " Charlotte scoffed in disbelief.
🏵️ CHAPTER 28 🏵️ " Let's make a deal then " " If I let you do to me whatever you want, will you teach me how to kiss? " " What?! " Once again Lena was making a sex deal with Denzel who was stunned. He gaped at the drunk woman seated on his laps and pouting at him and didn't know what to say. " Do you agree, Mr. Brenton? You will enjoy it, trust me " The driver almost choked at how blunt the drunk woman but only one glare from Denzel made him focus back on the road. Shifting his gaze back to Lena, " Do you tend to make stupid deals with any man you see anytime you are drunk? I thought you said you were married " The cold man raise a brow at her but the drunk shushed him immediately, her index pressed on his lips. " Keep your voice down, Mr. Brenton or my husband will overhear us " The cold man snorted in disbelief. This woman was something else. " I brought you here in the car so that no one will see us, not even my husband. So don't worry, I have the situation under
🏵️ CHAPTER 29 🏵️ It was Friday, and Lena came to work, taking slow and calculated footsteps. Her palms were sweaty as she rubbed them together, breathing out every now and then. The short woman was nervous. Earlier she woke up with a brain wrecking headache due to how drunk she was last night. She was surprised to see herself in her room, on her bed for that matter with a neat duvet covering her and in her pajamas. She asked Mrs. Amelia and the old woman revealed to her that last night, her boss brought her home. It was then Lena recalled every single thing that happened last night. The short woman was so ashamed that she didn't want to come to work. She didn't know how she was going to face him. Lost in thoughts, Lena didn't see the figure running toward her. Well, not until the both of them collided and papers went flying in the air and scattering to the floor. It was then she was brought back to her senses. " I'm so sorry, ma'am. I didn't mean to bump into you " The person, w
🏵️ CHAPTER 30 🏵️ Little Ava was being bullied and laughed at by her female classmates. It was break time and the little girl had gone to the bathroom to relieve herself but on stepping out she was surrounded by six of her classmates. The little girl wasn't given a chance to say a word when she was pushed to the ground. She landed hard on her butt and let out a wince. Looking up and seeing Kimberly along with the girls, fear engulfed her. " What do you want? " The little girl muttered with trembling lips. " Oh, are you hurt? Do want to cry? Or should I call your daddy for you? " Kimberly ridiculed with a disdained look. " Oh, looks like I forgot. You're a bastard! " The little girl snapped. " Do you know what I just found out? " She turned to her other accomplices who nodded negatively, their eyes shining in expectation of what Kimberly wanted to say. " I just found out that Ava and her siblings don't have a father. I learned from a movie that someone without a father is a bast
🏵️ CHAPTER 31 🏵️ After sending his warning to Mr. Rivers, Denzel left the office of the middle-aged man who was still shivering his fear. He met the quadruplets who were still waiting for him. Evans and Aida couldn't stop staring at the handsome man who looked like them. Little Ava and Ryan ran and hugged him in the leg. " You came " The little girl mumbled. The bodyguards with Denzel made to step forward and pull the kids away from him but Denzel signaled them to stop. " Wait for me outside " The bodyguards bowed at his command and left. Denzel squatted to their level with a faint smile. Before he could say anything, the little girl hugged him. The cold man froze for a moment. His heart gradually started thumping and a weird calm feeling washed through him at the feeling of Ava's body pressed to his. It was a familiar feeling, one that felt as though there was something that connected him with Ava. Like he knew who these kids were. " Mr. Brenton, how did you know our school? "
