🏵️ CHAPTER 90 🏵️ "What the fuck are you doing here, Harley? " Denzel glared at the woman before with contempt but deep down he couldn't deny he was surprised to see her. He wasn't expecting her to come, of all places, to his office. After she left that night with tears, he was hoping that will be the last time they will see each other again. But here she is standing in front of him, staring at him lovingly. Denzel couldn't deny it. He couldn't help but notice how much she has changed from how she was the last time he saw her. She has become even more beautiful. Denzel scoffed to himself. He guess Ian was taking good care of her. With a smile on her lips, Harley walked up to Denzel. Placing her bag on his table, she covered the distance between them. "Denzel..." Her voice came out softly. To Denzel's surprise, she circled her hands around his neck and hugged him. Denzel stiffened the moment her body made contact with his and memories came flooding. He could remember those ti
🏵️ CHAPTER 91 🏵️Denzel was surprised to know that Lena has already left work without waiting for him like she normally does. He need not be told that his wife was angry with him. Well, who wouldn't after seeing another woman hugging her husband in his office?Ever since Lena left his office earlier after throwing Harley out, she has been avoiding Denzel like he was a plague. She would come into his office, do what she came to do, and leave without even sparing him a glance. Her cold behavior toward him was making Denzel worry.On getting home, Denzel was happy to see Lena in the kitchen, cooking. He tiptoed to her and hugged her from the back, placing a deep kiss on her neck."You left without waiting for me, " He asked but to his shock, Lena squeezed out of his hold and left to get something from the cabinet without answering his question. Denzel let out a sigh and hugged her from the back again."Are you ok, Lena? "Lena only slipped out of his hold and continued with
🏵️ CHAPTER 92 🏵️ "Sometimes I can't help but think about it though. And I'm terrified whenever these thoughts come into my mind. And today when I saw Harley hugging you, I thought that..." Lena's voice broke and she looked down to fight back her tears but they failed her and rolled down freely. "I thought that maybe you will start regretting leaving her. I thought that maybe you will leave me and go back to her " Denzel pulled Lena into a tight hug immediately and shushed her. Lena hugged him back like she was scared of letting him go. Well, truthfully, she wasn't just scared, she was terrified. Denzel buried his face in Lena's neck and kissed it deeply. "To me, you're perfect, Lena. But if you think Harley was a perfect wife then I don't want a perfect wife. I want you. You and you alone " A smile drew up Lena's lips and she pulled out and looked at Denzel. "Really? " "Yes " Denzel cupped her face and wiped away her tears with his thumb. "You know how much I hate seeing yo
🏵️ CHAPTER 93 🏵️The door of Ian's office flung open and was slammed close almost immediately and without looking up, Ian let out a scoff, already knowing who it was that entered. He could hear her angry puffs as she paced to and fro his office angrily before dropping her bag on his table, more like throwing it."How was your journey to the land of humiliation? ""It was incredible, no thank you " Harley hissed, pissed off to the higher order."Well, welcome back " Ian snorted, almost laughing in mockery."You know, as far as I can vividly remember, nothing is going as per how you told me it will when you were still starting with this journey of getting your ex-husband back ""Come to think of it, you haven't even made a single move yet and the possibility of Denzel accepting you back is a total of zero. As for online, no one is even talking about you and only a few of your obsessed-stricken fans still talk about you and Denzel getting back together. It's obvious you d
🏵️ CHAPTER 94 🏵️ FAST FORWARD It was a cold Saturday morning, Lena and Denzel were together in a bathtub, having a hot bath. Lena leaned on Denzel as they both let the hot water soothe their tensed body. Lena let out a sad sigh. She lost was lost in thoughts. For some time now, with the help of Denzel, she has been investigating Dragon's Empire, and a few days ago, her secret spy just informed her that her father's company has gone completely bankrupt and was even into debt. A debt of approximately thousands of millions. Lena became very furious. She couldn't understand what Charlotte and Eloise have been doing ever since they took over. Have they been eating her father's money without even trying to at least make up for it? Is she just going to stay and watch her father's hard work fade away in vain? "You have to do something, Lena. Seeing how all of this is going, those two idiots will eat up everything. A time will come when they will even sell everything that
🏵️ CHAPTER 95 🏵️"Are you done yet? " Denzel asked Lena who was seated by her dressing mirror and doing the final touching of decorating her ears with earrings. She gave herself the last look, more like checking herself out in the mirror to make sure she was looking good before answering,"Yep! I'm ready " She turned to see Denzel standing by the door with folded arms and raised eyebrows like he was so done with her."That took you almost half of the day " "Hey! That's how we women are. We take our time in everything. Don't you know I have to look good? Not just good, I have to look amazing. First impression matters "Denzel rolled his eyes at Lena's remark."So, tell me. How do I look? " Lena turned around for Denzel to check her out."You're looking ok, Lena " He almost groaned and Lena frowned."Just that? I'm looking ok? Is that really all you have to say? " Lena was starting to get annoyed. "I spent hours getting ready and all you have to say is that I'm ok? "
🏵️ CHAPTER 96 🏵️"Richard?! ""Lena?! ""Oh my God! Richard, is this really you? " Lena exclaimed in disbelief and the guy standing before her chuckled happily. Without even thinking it twice, they both hugged each other."Wow, I can't believe this " Lena chuckled and they both pulled out."I can't believe it either, Lena. I can't believe this is you " Richard mumbled and took her hands, making Lena laugh."It's been so long, Richard. How have you been doing and what brought you back to New City? ""I've been doing just fine, Lena. I just decided to you know, branch in a little bit. I've missed my hometown; my friends and my family so I decided to pay them a visit. And so happy you're the first person I met after coming back " "When did you come back? ""That was... there weeks ago. Almost a month approximately " Richard chuckled."So tell me, Lena. What about you? How have you been? ""I'm fine, like perfectly fine ""Yeah, I can see that. You're looking... more beautif
🏵️ CHAPTER 97 🏵️"Denzel, my son. Is that you? " Hearing his father's voice after more than decades was like an electric shock to Denzel. A shock of emotions. He couldn't even remember the last time he heard him call him 'son'. He couldn't even remember the last time he even saw his face.That would probably be after that day he found out the truth and ran away from home. The same house he was in now and standing on his two feet.Denzel stared at the almost-dying man on the bed and couldn't believe he was his father. He has changed so much, so much that he wouldn't have even recognized him if not that his mother was seated beside him.From where he was standing, Denzel could see that he has immaciated a lot from how he was the last time he saw him. His eyes were weak and he could barely keep them open. His skin looked old and saggy and his face was already decorated with wrinkles. All his hair has already fallen out with only a few barely still visible.Seeing all
