🏵️ 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 old woman must have seen
🏵️ CHAPTER 75 🏵️Denzel got home and was about to storm upstairs when he saw Lena climbing down." You're back " Lena spoke softly with a faint smile. Looking at her one could tell she was really tired. Her eyes were still red and heavy because she has been crying for a long time. Unlike what the robot had told Denzel, Lena wasn't sleeping. 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? " She tried not to stutter but her lips failed her. Lena was scared. She was scared that Denzel must have found out the truth because she could clearly see how angry he was.Denzel snorted in disbelief and let go of her hand." Am I supposed to be ok? Is ev
🏵️ CHAPTER 76 🏵️Denzel drove at the highest speed he could think of as Gavin's words kept ringing repeatedly in his head."Shit, I fucked up! I fucked up real bad! ""You're a fool, Denzel. A fool, a fool, a fool, a fool! "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. All this time, Lena was pleading for him to hear her out but he was too angry to even listen. He didn't even find out the whole truth before saying all those hurtful words he said to Lena.What type of a husband was he?Instead of being with his wife now that she needed him the most, he left her to handle everything all alone whereas all she was doing was trying to pro
🏵️ CHAPTER 77 🏵️ "Mommy!! " The quadruplets exclaimed in excitement and immediately ran to Lena who was lying on the bed. "My babies " Lena chuckled with happy tears and widened her arms to welcome the quadruplets who jumped on her in a tight hug. The short woman hugged them back immediately and didn't even realize she was now crying due to how happy she was. "We've missed you so much, Mommy! " The quadruplets chuckled and pulled out of the hug. "I've missed you all so much " Lena mumbled in tears and kissed them all on their faces. "How have my babies been, huh? " "We are all fine, Mommy. Grandma is taking very good care of us! " Little Ava hypered making Lena chuckle. " But why are you crying, Mommy? Are these tears of joy? " Evans held Lena's face with his tiny hands. " Yes. Mommy is so happy to see you guys again, that's why I'm crying " " You don't have to cry, Mommy. Because, now that we're here, we're going to make you smile again " Aida wiped Lena's tears with her l

🏵️ 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

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.

🏵️ 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
🏵️ 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
