" 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

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.

" Ava exclaimed and Denzel laughed seeing the happiness on their faces. He looked up at Lena who was staring at them in shock.

" The quadruplets bided goodbye to Denzel and Lena, whose eyes widened in shock, before they were led to the car outside by the bodyguards. The short woman made to run toward them but Denzel held her hand and pulled her back. " Let me go, Mr. Brenton! You can't take my kids away from me, you don't have that right! " She lashed out, almost close to tears, and struggled to break free from Denzel's hold

Since the kids were on mid-term break, they spend most of their time at home or in the park with their friends. But tonight was a little bit different for Ava. The little girl couldn't sleep.

"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...

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

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.

🏵️ 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.

🏵️ 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

He answered seeing it was Lena but before he could say anything, the call was abruptly interrupted.Denzel frowned and called back.

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.

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
