🏵️ CHAPTER 69 🏵️Lena and Denzel ate breakfast silently while the cold man tried to avoid Lena's gaze as much as possible. He finally looked up when he felt Lena's gaze transfixed on him.

I'm already full watching you eat "" Have I ever told you this, hubby? "" You're so handsome that if you were a lollipop, I will lick you a million times and bite into you, hundreds of millions of times without getting tired " Denzel almost choked on what he was chewing and his eyes widened." What? " It came out faintly as he gaped at Lena in shock." I said if you were a lollipop, I will lick you continually until you're no longer sweet but I would still keep licking you " The short woman pouted and blinked innocently.Denzel snorted in disbelief." Are you ok? Did you perhaps hit your head on somet
🏵️ CHAPTER 70🏵️ Denzel entered his office only to see a certain short woman seated on his chair with a serious and cold face, her eyes focused on the files she was going through. She was relaxed fully on the chair, spiraling it around like she was the one in charge. " What the fuck are you doing here? " Lena paused and slowly looked up at Denzel with brows folded in a deep frown. " What time is it, Mr. Brenton? " She demanded much to Denzel's confusion. " What? " " Answer my question, Mr. Brenton. What time is it? " " 09: 25? " " And what time does the office open? " Denzel understood what Lena was trying to do and immediately let out a scoff. The cold man decided to play along. " 07 AM " He answered. " And you're at work by 09:25? Where went you? What were you doing at home? Being mean to your wife? " Denzel almost laughed seeing how serious Lena's face was. " What's so funny, Mr. Brenton? Do you think we came here to play? " The short woman scowled at him. " Do you k
🏵️ CHAPTER 71 🏵️Lena read the news article on her phone with widened eyes. By the time she was done reading the nonsense written, she rushed out of the house and hailed a cab, heading straight to the office.Not only were there articles about the pictures, even the headlines of the news that morning were about it. It has circulated so fast that there were multiple videos online about those pictures and videos about people talking about them.It turned out the pictures were uploaded yesterday and a lot of people have already seen them." There is no other explanation for these pictures. The pictures said everything. Looking at it, one could vividly see it wasn't edited or anything"" It is obvious, definitely no two ways about it. Because think about it, Mr. Brenton is not the type who has time for any relationship stuff or shit"" Yeah, that's true "" To see him with another woman, firstly she came with him in his car which is almost impossible to happen, knowing t
🏵️ CHAPTER 72 🏵️ Denzel was taken aback as Lena suddenly ran to him in a hug. Lena on the other hand didn't even realize when she hugged him. She was so stressed out and scared that the only that came into her mind was hugging Denzel, thinking that maybe he must have read the news and is angry or stressed out too. " Lena..." Lena was snapped back to her senses. She looked up at Denzel whose brows were folded in confusion. " Are you ok? " Denzel was worried. He could feel her body trembling slightly and the audible hammering of her heart. Lena slowly pulled out. " Are you ok? Did something happen? " With Denzel's questions, Lena let out a heave of relief. His questions showed that Denzel haven't seen the news yet. At least that is enough to make her relax. Now all she had to do was to make sure he doesn't see those articles. " Lena..." Denzel called, snapping Lena out of her thoughts. Lena forced a smile up her lips immediately. " Are you ok? " Denzel demanded again. " Oh
🏵️ CHAPTER 73 🏵️ Lena went downstairs and the moment she stepped out of the building, all eyes and cameras turned to her, the flashlight from the cameras almost making her go blind. Lena’s heart cut seeing the crowd gathered around her. Fear and nervousness washed down her and she started shaking slightly, her palms growing cold and sweaty. Letting out a deep breath, Lena forced a smile up her lips, trying to conceal her fear. The reporters rushed to her and started bombarding her with countless questions. “Where is Mr. Brenton? We want to see him!” They all demanded in an uproar. “Why isn’t he here? We have a lot of questions we want to ask him!” “Yeah, he should come out and face us! “ Lena swallowed and spoke up. “Listen, everyone! “ The attention of the reporters was called and all the murmurings and uproar died down instantly. “Good morning, everyone. I know you all are here to see Mr. Brenton… but unfortunately, Mr. Brenton isn’t in a position to attend to all of you.
🏵️ CHAPTER 74 🏵️ Lena hurriedly entered the elevator after managing to send the reporters away. Her heart was still pounding fast in fear and her body was still shaking a bit. She leaned back on the elevator wall, letting out deep and steady breaths to calm her racing heart. She rubbed her sweaty cold palms together to create friction and make them warm. Remembering the lie she just told the reporters, Lena’s face gloomed down in sadness. She couldn’t believe she just denied her marriage with Denzel to the public. She just denied her husband in front of the whole world! How will Denzel feel when he found out about what she just did? Will he ever forgive her for lying? The ringing of her phone snapped Lena out of her thoughts and seeing who it was, her heart skipped. “Hello, ma “ “Lena my dear " “Ma… “ Lena's voice quivered. “What is going on, my dear? “ It was Mrs. Amelia calling. “Are you ok, my child? “ Lena understood why she had called.

The short woman was lying on the bed and crying her eyes out for hours.But due to how angry Denzel was, he didn't notice any of that. He climbed up the stairs and grabbed Lena's hand." We need to talk " Without giving Lena a chance, Denzel dragged her to the room before slamming the door close. Lena jolted in fear and gulped." Is... something... wrong, Denzel? Are you ok?

"The cold man kept cursing himself, banging his fist on the steering wheel.Earlier, after what Gavin told him, Denzel took his time and went through every single post that was talking about him and Lena, and by the time he was done going through all the comments under each post, the cold man was shocked to the bones.It was then everything became clear to him and he realized that he just fucked up.
