🏵️ CHAPTER 39 🏵️ Lena slowly opened her eyes and turned over on the bed. She was surprised to not see Denzel beside her. But remembering what happened last night, a hot blush crept up her cheeks and she sat up. The cold man stayed true to his words and almost rendered her crippled in bed. But there was something else Lena couldn't understand. The butterfly tattoo at the back of his waist. She remembered seeing that same tattoo on the waist of the unknown man that took advantage of her drugged state six years ago. But was it a mere coincidence? For years, she couldn't remember in full detail what happened that night but last night, she remembered everything like a clear photograph except for one thing; The face of the man. But his voice sounded like that of Denzel. And to even make matters worse, her boys looked like Denzel and has exactly his green eyes. The short woman was confused. It couldn't be a coincidence. Something is definitely not right. The door opened revealing th
🏵️ CHAPTER 40 🏵️ FAST FORWARD TO MONDAY Lena was sent to Denzel's paint house to get an important document. She met Roxy cleaning and dancing to the music it was playing. Roxy saw her and flashed her a robotic smile. " Welcome, Mrs. Estrella " " Thank you, Roxy. How have you been? It's been so long since I saw you. Where have you been? " " Well, for some time now, Master had turned me off and locked me up. Most especially, any time you were coming " The overly excited robot didn't even realize when she snitched on her master. Lena's eyes widened a bit. " He purposefully turns you off whenever I'm coming? Why? " " Well, probably so as to get you to do everything for him " Roxy shrugged. Lena snorted in disbelief. So all this time she has been asking about Roxy, she wasn't even aware the cold man had turned it off so as to frustrate her life. " And why are you here, Miss Lena? " " I came to get some files Mr. Brenton forgot. Erm... which way is his office? " "
🏵️ CHAPTER 41 🏵️ Lena sat in front of her laptop all day in the office, scrolling down the endless pictures of Denzel's ex-wife, Harley. She couldn't stop looking into everything about her. The stunning woman was living the best of her life based on the content she uploads on her social media but sadly there was no picture of her and Denzel. She must have deleted them. However, after endless scrolling, there was one photo available. A photo of Denzel slipping an engagement ring into Harley's finger. Lena groaned angrily and slammed the laptop close. The short woman was super jealous of Harley. Why did she went ahead and let her curiosity take over her? And now, she can't seem to keep the taught that she was nothing compared to Harley, out of her mind. The thought that Denzel wouldn't feel anything for a woman like her. On the other hand, she is still confused about Denzel being the father of her kids. There's a 99℅ possibility that it is true but she doesn't want to jump to a co
🏵️ CHAPTER 42 🏵️ Denzel can be seen with the quadruplets. The four brats were with their bags of popcorn, arguing about the movie they had just watched. Today was a free day for Denzel and even though he didn't want to leave work, he had promised the quadruplets to take them out for a movie. After the movie, he told them to go wait for him in the car while he gets them some snacks. " Ok, ok, calm down all of you " Evans exclaimed. " If we are going to do it this way, then we will just keep on arguing aimlessly. How about rating the movie? " " Starting with Ava. On a scale of 1-10, what will give the movie and why? " " I will give an 8 out of 10 " " Huh? Why? " Aida wasn't pleased with her rating. " The movie is interesting but I prefer DREAM MAKERS over it. That's why " Little Ava shrugged. " I will also give it an 8 " Ryan supported his baby sister. " Well, for me, it's 1000/100. I don't even understand how you can compare it with that boring movie. It's not even close to
🏵️ CHAPTER 43 🏵️ The quadruplets were asked to go upstairs even before they could drop the good news to Lena and Mrs. Amelia also left, giving her and Denzel some privacy. Denzel wasn't happy when he noticed the tears in Lena's eyes. The cold man was about to enquire what was wrong when Lena drop him the request, " Please stay away from my kids " Denzel was taken aback and his brows folded in confusion. Lena's request was weird and out of context. Why will she suddenly ask him to do that? " What do you mean, Lena? " " It's a simple request, Sir. Stay away from my kids, that's all I have to say " Lena turned to leave but Denzel held her arm and pulled her to himself, circling her waist. " What's wrong, Lena? Why are you behaving weirdly? Did something bad happen? " " Please let go of me, Mr. Brenton " Denzel stared into Lena's eyes for some time, trying to know if he could read anything but the only thing he could see was a certain pain in her eyes and that made him let go
🏵️ CHAPTER 44 🏵️ Mrs. Amelia wasn't happy with Lena's sudden decision to move. Fine, she might try to accept her wanting to quit but leaving New City, after knowing that the father her kids have been longing to have was right here with them, was a grave mistake. " Are you aware you're making a mistake, Lena? A mistake that will affect the future of your kids " Lena scoffed with an eye roll. " What mistake? Making them live their whole life without their father? Come on, ma. I lived my whole life not knowing who my mother was and did that change anything? " " It did. It changed a lot of things, Lena. You lived your whole life not knowing what the love of a mother is " " But you filled that hole. You showed me what it is like to feel the love of a mother " " Then, what about your kids? You first-hand know what it is like living without both parents and even if your father did everything he could to fill that hole, there were still things he couldn't feel up. Are you going to m
🏵️ CHAPTER 45 🏵️ Mrs. Amelia headed upstairs to the kids and met the quadruplets crying. Immediately Ava saw her, the little girl climbed down the bed and ran to her. " Grandma, why is Mommy telling us to move? Did we do anything? Did I do anything wrong? Is she angry with us? " The little girl was almost choking on her tears. " If Mommy is angry because I said or did anything wrong, then I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I won't fight with her again, I won't tell her to give me a daddy again and I won't yell at her again, I won't do any of that, I promise..." " Sush, my dear. Calm down, ok? " The woman patted Ava's back to calm the little girl down. She took her back to the bed and helped her sit before passing a glass of water to her. The little girl hiccuped continuously as she drank the water. Gradually, she stopped crying. " Are you feeling better now? " Little Ava nodded slightly. " All of you should stop crying. You know I don't like seeing any of you cry, huh? " The rest
🏵️ CHAPTER 46 🏵️ " Why did you bring me here, Mr. Brenton? " Lena turned to Denzel who smirked. The cold man had driven Lena to a place far from the busy street. It was sunset and the orange color of the sun reflected perfectly on the peaceful atmosphere they were in. There were beautiful trees around and cool fresh air, that can bring a smile to anyone's lips. " Does this place remind you of somewhere? " Denzel finally spoke up after some minutes of silence. " Don't you think this place looks exactly like the forest we both got lost in that day? " Lena could hear him chuckle softly. " Peaceful, with beautiful trees and flowers around. The perfect atmosphere to cool off when one is angry or stressed, don't you think? " Lena couldn't deny it. This place was beautiful. The peaceful aura was already making her mind relax. If it was only her here, she would probably be running around, giggling, and smiling. Denzel let out a deep breath and turned to face Lena. " You want to kno
🏵️ EPILOGUE 🏵️ FAST FORWARD TO MONTHS LATER Lena stood by the sea at the beach, watching as the wind ruffle her hair and hailed the water in her direction. She was lost in thoughts, while the quadruplets were busy playing with the sand. They had all come to the beach to spend the summer together as a family. Thinking about all that has happened in her life, Lena couldn't help but feel fulfilled. When her father passed away, she thought her whole life was coming to an end. And having to grow up with Eliose and Charlotte was a nightmare. But despite everything, she refused to give up. Despite what happened to her that night, it didn't stop her from pursuing her dream of getting back everything that was rightfully hers.

🏵️ CHAPTER 115 🏵️ While everyone was busy celebrating with Lena and Denzel, Gavin grabbed Aria's hand and pulled her to a secluded area in the house, somewhere where only the two of them could stay all alone. "Hey! Why did you bring me here? " Aria snapped the moment Gavin let go of her hand. "I didn't force you here, did I? So why are you yelling at me? " "What?! " Aria glared at Gavin who scoffed with an eye roll. "Keep your voice down, Fiery Princess " "You don't tell me what to do! " "I'm out of here " Aria huffed and made to walk away but Gavin held her and pulled back. She let out a groan. "What do you want, Gavin? " "I want to tell you something " "Well, I'm not interested in whatever you want to say... " "Please, hear me out. It's important... Very important " Aria gave Gavin a suspicious look before letting out a slight cough and looking away. "What is it? " Letting out a breath, "The thing is... erm... I will the leaving New City... tomorrow " Aria's face
🏵️ CHAPTER 114 🏵️ A MONTH LATER Lena stepped into the house and was surprised at what she encountered. The whole house was very dark and she couldn't see a thing.Denzel had sent her a message to meet him at his Penthouse for something very important so she didn't expect everywhere to be this dark.Confused about what was going on, she called Denzel on the phone."Hun, the whole Penthouse is in darkness and I don't know where to switch on the lights ""Don't worry, Lena. Just take a step forward " Was all Denzel said before ending the call.Even though she didn't understand what was going on, Lena complied and took a step forward. Almost immediately, all the lights turned on.Startled a bit, Lena looked up and saw the most beautiful thing she has ever seen in her life.Everywhere was glittering with pictures of her hung everywhere. Everywhere was glowing with sparkle blue light and decorated with Jasmine flowers.Lena looked around and saw a huge banner w
🏵️ CHAPTER 113 🏵️ THREE MONTHS LATER Lena can be seen, all alone in a cemetery, standing before an encrypted grave. It was raining and even though she was holding an umbrella, she let the rain drench her, her tears not seizing to flow."Why? " Her shaky weak voice finally came."Why are all of these happening to me? Why did you leave and ruin my entire life? ""Ever since you left me, nothing seems to go right. Nothing seems to make sense anymore ""You promised me, that you will stay with me forever but you left me to suffer the pain of having to live without you. Why?! " "And after what seemed to be forever... " Lena sulked back the tears she couldn't control."I thought I was finally going to be happy. I thought I found happiness once again and now, you're just going to stay and watch my life being taken away from me... again? ""You promised me that you will always protect me no matter what. So tell me why you want to take the most important person in my li
🏵️ CHAPTER 112 🏵️ "So if try to act ridiculous, not only will you lose your wife... " "BUT ALSO YOUR UNBORN CHILD... THAT BASTARD GROWING INSIDE HER WOMB " What Ian said felt like a huge bomb was dropped on Denzel's head and it exploded immensely. He felt an electric shock run through him and he stiffened and didn't even realize when the briefcase in his hand plunged to the ground. His protruded eyes traveled from Lena's face down to her belly before looking back at her. Lena was already crying uncontrollably. "Lena... you... " "Yes. Your darling wife is pregnant. Probably with another set of quadruplets " Ian scoffed with a loud hiss. "Lena... is it true? " Lena nodded with a proud smile though still in tears. "Yes, Denzel. I'm two weeks pregnant. I've been trying to tell you all along but so many things kept happening and I... didn't get the chance anymore " "Believe me, I wanted to tell you after you come, back from the interview. I didn't mean for you to find out this w
🏵️ 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
🏵️ 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 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 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
