🏵️ 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? "
🏵️ CHAPTER 32 🏵️ " You're our mommy's strict and evil boss! The one who didn't let her come back to us for two days straight and the one who made her not come pick us up that other day! " Little Ava had just fired and pointed accusation fingers at Denzel who frowned in confusion. " Huh? Me?! " He gaped at the little girl he was carrying. A gasp left Evans, Aida, and Ryan's lips. " You're our mommy's boss?! " " I am but..." " You're a bad man! Put me down " " So you took us out so you can bribe us with treats, huh? So we can forget about protecting our mommy from you, is that it? " " No, he did it so we can choose him over our mommy! " " What?! " Denzel was being attacked by the kids without being given a chance to defend himself. " Listen, Mr. Brendon, no matter what you do, we can never choose you over our mommy and you can't bribe us! Because we will make you pay for giving our mommy a hard time " " Woah, woah, calm down kids " Denzel got to his car and placed Ava on i
🏵️ CHAPTER 33 🏵️ Weeks flew by really fast and things both at home and in the office were going fine for Lena. She, Aria, and of course Susanna become pretty close. During break or after work, the three go out for lunch or dinner and have some girls' talk. And as for Denzel, things had become pretty hot between him and Lena. The cold man has been trying hard to fulfill the deal between him and the quadruplets. He was trying to be a little bit nice to Lena without being really nice to her. Most time whenever he noticed that Lena was getting exhausted due to too much work, he would either order food for everyone just so she can eat or order a treat specifically for her with the identity of a secret admirer. And if Lena was going to work overnight and he was less busy, he would leave and pick up the kids from school and then run overnight just so he can keep an eye on Lena. Whenever she falls asleep during work at his Paint House, he would order Roxy to carry her to his bed and al
🏵️ CHAPTER 34 🏵️ Lena was about to enter her office, chuckling to herself because of what Aria said. Well, not until she was asked not to move by a certain someone, and a gun was pointed right at the back of her head. Lena froze on the spot in shock and didn't even move a finger. The cup in her hand fell to the floor and shattered into a million pieces. She was still trying to digest the fact that she was held at gunpoint when the person circled his arms around her neck and gripped her tight, now pointing the gun at her temple. Lena's eyes widened in horror and her heart digested into her stomach in fear because of what the person holding her said. " Now, you better do whatever I ask you to if you don't want me to render your quadruplets orphans " It was then Lena's fear tripled. She recognized the voice of the man holding her and was shocked that he knew about her babies. " J... Jeremy? " A smirk drew up the man's lips. " So you recognize me without even seeing my face, h
