🏵️ CHAPTER 60 🏵️ With her hands wrapped around his neck and his hands on her waist, Lena and Denzel kissed their way into the house. It had started outside, inside the air balloon after it has gone around the island and landed safely back to the luxurious cabin. Using his right leg and not breaking the kiss, Denzel kicked the door close and in the process, the flowers which Lena was holding fell to the floor but she cared less. The heat of their moment was too much for her to bear. Her hands ran up and down his neck, pulling slightly at the hairs which rested on his nape. His hands too weren't left out. They worked magic on her body, teasing her in all the right places. Their tongues swirled around each other's as they savored the sweetness of each other's mouths. Denzel's hands slid down to her ass and in one swift move, he grabbed her left leg, slightly wrapping it around his thigh.

" Denzel raised a brow at him making Gavin scoff. " Yeah, so? It's been long since we saw or spent time with each other. Did you even miss me at all? " " Enough of playing around, Gavin, and tell me why you're here

🏵️ CHAPTER 64 🏵️ "Before I say or do something worse, for the last time, Lena, get... the... fuck... OUT!" Lena stared at Denzel, who wasn't even sparing her a glance, with faint tears in her eyes. She bit her lips and swallowed back the painful lump in her throat. Without uttering any other word, she turn and left the study room. The closing of the door made Denzel let out a sad breath. He rested his head on the chair and closed her eyes, letting out a groan. It was happening again! Every time, by this period of the year, the cold man finds it very difficult to make it past each day. He finds it close to impossible to be happy and calm. This time of the year has always been the hardest for him to make it through because each passing day, reminded him of the two failures in his life.

🏵️ CHAPTER 68 🏵️ Denzel woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. He reached out to the water and pill already waiting for him on the lampstand and took them. Denzel tried to recall what happened yesterday, wondering how he was able to drive himself home after drinking that much alcohol and how he ended up ok the bed with only his boxers. He couldn't remember anything. He was about to climb off the bed when the door opened and Lena stepped in with a tray of food. Seeing he was awake, Lena flashed Denzel a smile, walking up to the bed.

Not wanting to bring it up again, " You came back drunk so I had to help you upstairs and undress you. It's nothing much. I'm your wife after all " Denzel frowned.
