Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 103 The Inevitable Couldn't Be Avoided.
The inevitable couldn’t be avoided, Leonica told herself over and over again, as she stood in front of the picture Gabriel had slid across the table, feeling like she had felt the day she revealed Ashley’s identity to him back at the hospital.Gabriel, noticing her hesitancy to speak, spoke up. “You seem to be keeping a lot of things from me, Leonica.”“I’m not.” She argued, gaze still glued on the picture while her mind tried to phantom about escape from the situation.But, did she really need an escape? Leonica’s definition of escape, as she has learnt, is to complicate things more than they already were. But did she really need to do that right now?What harm could it bring to come clean? The voice in the back of her mind questioned.Yeah, what harm indeed?The worse that could happen was Gabriel denying Ashley and finally cutting ties with them both, using his amnesia as an excuse. That sounded nice, until it didn’t and ended up leaving a sour taste in Leonica’s mouth and a rising

The moment Leonica had left, Bill stuck his head through the door, testing the water whether or not it was okay for him to step in.“Sir?” He called out, snapping Gabriel out of whatever he had been thinking about at that moment. “May I step in?”Gabriel waved his hand at his *ssistant’s question, indicating that he could do whatever he pleased. Tentatively, he stepped in while Gabriel returned back to the chair he had been seating in, grabbing the photo he has found in the process.Once again staring at the photo, Ashley in particular, Gabriel found his mind replaying Leonica's words, something that had somewhat become like a daily routine to him, since he had woken up a few days ago.He wondered, had he really been that much of an *sshole?Was he the reason their marriage ended? The reason why Ashley was forced to live with a broken family?Although he couldn’t recall a thing about the child, Gabriel felt connected to him, just from the photo alone and thinking about how much the ch

Alistair’s words had taken a good couple of minutes before it sank into the heads of both individuals present.“What?” Leonica was the first to question, finding what he had just said utterly ridiculous.“what the h*ll do you mean cut contact with Leonica or have my contract terminated?” Owen joined in, showing anger as he had been kept in the dark with the recent developments.Sure, he had been scolded once or twice about the speech he released, had his pay cut for an advert or two, but he was cool with that, at least if that was what it took to reduce the public pressure on Leonica, he didn’t mind.But right now, the higher ups demands was too unreasonable. Asking him to pick between Leonica and his job. They wouldn’t dare put those options on the table if they knew that Leonica was the reason why he was who he was today. She had shaped the star that was keeping their d*mned company afloat, yet they dare do what they were doing.Just the sheer thought of their demands alone angered
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 106 Do It For Ashley's Sake.
Anastasia stood by her window, watching as Leonica and Ashley got into their car, the former stopping to wave her goodbye, to which she waved back even though she couldn’t be seen, before they drove off.Watching the vehicle drive away, she heard the sound of her phone ringing from her study. She moved towards it, mumbling underneath her breath how much she hated answering clients late in the night while having extra work to do, you know, stuffs that only lawyers could understand.By the time she had arrived at her study and located her phone from underneath a pile of growing client cases, the phone was on its second ring. Taking a moment, she studied the unknown number calling, brows furrowing as she tried to recall which of her clients had this number.After much trying and pondering, Anastasia answered the phone by the third call.“Attorney Johansson speaking.” She said once the phone had been pressed again her ear.However, the voice that greeted her was one she was not expecting

Between the constant glances that were being thrown their way as other hospital patients walked by and the sound of Ashley chattering away with Gabriel, informing him of all the things that had happened both in Denver and here, Oslo, Leonica found it hard to focus on the meal which they had actually come here to have.“… and then, mommy got me Betty,” Ashley said, showing his father the doll he always carried around. Gabriel bummed in an understanding tone, nodding his head as he took a bite from his burger.Strange, Leonica thought as she had glanced at him in the middle of taking said bite from his beef burger. The Gabriel she knew was far too stuck up to even have a bite from a veggie burger, talk less a beef burger.Then again, she shook her head, briefly reminding herself that the Gabriel seating in front of her wasn’t the stuck up stoic man he had been a few weeks ago.“Everything okay?” Gabriel asked after noticing her somewhat weird behavior.She sucked a breath in rather hars

It was fifteen minutes past their meeting time, and Anastasia, who was had been the first to arrive, sat in one of the restaurant chairs, grumbling underneath her breath."Where the heck is he?" Anastasia mumbled underneath her breath and reached for her phone, unlocking it when a text message entered.Opening the text message, she had expected to see a message from Lloyd, but it wasn’t.[Anastasia?]The first message read.[This is your number, right? I know this is your number.] The second one read and at this point, after reading those two messages alone, Anastasia doubted this number belonged to Lloyd.[Who's this?] She typed, hesitating for a few seconds before sending it.Not more than a few seconds had gone by before both bars turned blue, indicating that the sender has read her message.A minute p*ssed and she was growing impatient, and as though they sensed her impatience, her phone beeped, another text message entering.[You responded. I didn’t think you’d even read my messa

Stepping into the four walls of the Bryce mansion for the first time in five years, felt foreign to Leonica. Her eyes wandered the familiar interior while she looked around like a child who had been lost in a wave of busy Monday adults.Everything was the same even after five years, she noted, walking further into the house as Ashley pulled her by the hand.“Mr. Bryce, welcome home.” The butler, who she quickly recognized as Will, the very same butler whom Lila had transferred from underneath her to look after she and Gabriel during their first year of marriage, greeted with a polite bow. His eyes was quick to widen the moment they landed on her. “Madam,” he uttered with a breathy tone of disbelief.Leonica could only force a smile under his disbelieving gaze, however, it soon turned genuine as memories, find ones at that, flashed in the back of her mind.“Glad to see you’re doing well, Will.” She said, tipping her head in a small bow to acknowledge his presence.“You too, Madam.” The

It had taken Gabriel's cry of pain only a few seconds to reach Leonica’s ears. She snapped her head around, a little too fast than she would like, and instantly rushed to his side when she found him clutching the side of his head.“Gabriel, hey, are you okay?” She questioned, placing her hand on his shoulder to steady his body that looked like it was ready to turn rigid at any given moment from the wave of pain he was experiencing.“Hey, talk to me.” She nearly barked at his silence, not liking it for one second longer when he remained silent, groaning in the obvious pain that he was experiencing.what the h*ll was going on? Leonica thought, frantically searching his body, his face to be exact, for some sort of answer to her question.The answer of question soon surfaced itself. But instead of coming in the form of words, a signal of him being okay or something opposite, it showcased itself in the form of a folded, line marked Polaroid camera photo of Angelina, laying peacefully on th

Anastasia had fallen asleep after her call with Megan, only to be awoken to the sound of someone knocking on her front door.Reluctantly, she slipped out of bed and made her way towards the front door and without checking who was at the door, opened it.When her eyes landed on the person standing in front of her, her expression switched from surprised to angry, then back to surprise, because she had not expected to see her mother standing in front of her door after so long.“At times I want to believe that you’re blind to my call, but then I see you winning all these cases on national Television and realize, oh wait, my daughter does have eyes.” Pushing her way into Anastasia’s apartment, Fiona dropped her purse and coat on the chair and turned to face her daughter. “Give me one good reason why you’ve been avoiding my calls?”“Didn’t Mason pass along my message?” Anastasia questioned, closing the door and heading to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.While doing so, she did

Whatever dark, alcohol induced thought that had been roaming Anastasia’s mind was dashed the moment she gave Lloyd the pass code to her apartment and instead of doing anything when he arrived at her room, he simply tucked her underneath the duvet and sighed.“You’re really a case.” He mumbled underneath his breath, but she clearly heard it, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, she caught his wrist.“You’re leaving? You’re not gonna do anything?” She had blurted out the question before she could control her own words and in seconds, she wished for the bed to open up and swallow her.Gosh, why had she said that?The alcohol, yeah, it is as definitely the alcohol!“Do you want me to stay?” Lloyd’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “Do you want me to stay, Anastasia?” He repeated when she remained silent.Her grip around his wrist loosened and Lloyd nodded.Of course she didn’t want him to stay. That was simply the alcohol in her system talking.Swallowing the bitter pill, he

Lloyd’s words had instantly sent Anastasia’s heart into an overdrive. Without even needing to focus on it, she could feel her heart beating hard against her chest, shaken up by his words, his proximity and the look in her eyes.And it scared her.Not Lloyd, but rather the familial pounding of her heart and the fluttering in her stomach, because she knew it all too well and it was a feeling she feared.It was the same feelings that had caused her unfortunate relationship with Derek.Those memories flashed within her mind and before Anastasia knew it, she had paled.Lloyd didn’t fail to notice this and in seconds, his expression changed into concern. But before he could say anything, she had broken free from his hold and stood up, walking towards her door and holding it open.“Get out.” She demanded.Lloyd was surprised by the sudden shift in her attitude. Just a few seconds ago, she seemed pissed at him, now the look in her eyes made it seem like she was trying to be on guard against h

Shrouded by the darkness her office provided after lights out, with her eyes glued to the bright screen of her laptop, Anastasia replayed the CCTV footage she had gotten from Danco.She studied the man’s movement, how he had approached Logan, his face shaded by the black hoodie he wore. She paused the video during moments of their interaction, trying to read the lips of Logan.It was clear he rejected at first. He even looked appealed by the idea. But then his eyes suddenly showed the interest that had sipped into his mind after heading something that he hooded figure had told him.What could it have been? Anastasia wondered as she watched the part of their interaction where Logan had indeed offered the hooded figure payment, in the form of raw cash, but he rejected, handed the drive over to Logan and walked out.Smartly, the hooded figure had walked in the opposite direction waiting until the attention on his had lessened before he came back and entered the black car, which belonged

“What?” Anastasia blinked in surprise after hearing what Logan had said. “He didn’t request for any money?”“Yes. As a matter of fact, it seemed like he was doing it not out of crude or hatred, but rather obligation. At first I thought something was wrong, I tried refusing it, trust me, but he insist and before I knew it, that bastard had dumped the concept and vanished.”Anastasia brows knitted together more. This wasn’t at all in the file that Kareem had given her. In fact, going back to what he had told her when briefing her about the case, he said the employee’s motive for selling the concepts was because they had gotten fired and had a personal grudge against the company.But that wasn’t the case, at least not from both sides.“And did you tell your attorney this or-““Yes, I have. I even explained the whole goddamn thing to Riley when his lawyer dropped by yesterday, but he refused to listen. He thinks I’m covering for the employee.” Logan sighed. “Look, I’m telling you the trut

Anastasia sat in the chair farest from Lloyd, listening to all his assistant had decided to tell her about the situation.Yes, she had accepted the job. Why? Well it was simple, the pay. The money that was offered for her to handle this case was more than enough to buy her a whole island.Who was she to turn down such an opportunity. Most definitely not her and most definitely not because of someone name Lloyd Riley.“And that is the case.” Kareem concluded.“I see.” Anastasia hummed, nodding her head in the process. From all she had heard, learnt and was able to gather, the situation on ground had come about because of an employee who had stolen confidential files from the company and took it to a rivalry company, selling it off.But the rivaling company, either they were not smart enough to change the concept of what had been sold to them or that they purposely wanted to rub the fact that they had gotten hands on L.R co’s latest concept.Either way, it was a stupid move and Anastasi

Lloyd woke up the next morning to find the bed beside him cold and empty. His brows furrowed and as he sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, his mind recalled the events from last night yet Anastasia was nowhere to been seen.Did she leave? He wondered.He looked around, and his eyes landed on a piece of paper on his bedside table.Lloyd frowned and picked the note up, his eyes skimming through the words written on it.Last night was great, but I could have gotten better. I left some cash to thank you for your service. Hope we don’t ever cross paths again, Lloyd Riley.After reading the message, Lloyd’s eyes quickly found a thousand dollar bill placed on top of his wallet and he chuckled.“Is this a fucking joke?”Did Anastasia take him as a sex worker? Or did she think he was a prostitute?And she even had the balls to tell him that she hoped they were crossed paths again.He shook his head, still finding it funny that she’d leave a message like this.“Oh, Anastasia, you’re so cut

“Lloyd Riley, I’ll make this a night for you to remember.”It was like a promise, or maybe even a declaration, but regardless, it was one Anastasia was determined to keep and she knew just how to do so.Over the course of years, she had dealt with boys like Lloyd, players, the call themselves. They waltz into your life, mess up your emotions and end up using you as a one night stand.Anastasia’s first experience at that had been painful, so right now, as she walked back to where she and Lloyd had been seated, she wondered how Lloyd would feel if the tables were turned on him.“You done?” Lloyd asked as she took her seat from across him, fingers curling around the glass of her whiskey.“Yes. The bathroom here didn’t really have much to offer.” She flashed him a smile, deciding to move on to her plan rather than delaying an further. “So, do you have any plans after this?” She asked, placing the tip of her glass on her lower lip and looking at Lloyd through her lashes.He narrowed his ey

Standing in front of the mirror, Anastasia sighed, a frown etched onto her face as she checked herself. For a second, she debated whether or not she could pull off the outfit she was wearing.Her usual dress code, always having had the mindset of a lawyer and boss woman, was a simple jumpsuit or trousers and a blouse. But tonight, she had decided to switch things up.Tonight, she was wearing a knee length, skin tight dress, a dress that was cut at the front, revealing the bare skin of her thigh. Her hair, usually held up in a messy bun, was free flowing down her back, her lips a deep shade of red and her eyelashes long and luscious.As she stood there, checking herself, her mind began running wild.Why had she agreed to a date with Lloyd? What the fuck was she thinking?She shook her head, this for sure, was going to turn out to be chaos.Being ripped away from her thought by the sound of her door bell ringing, Anastasia decided to lock up her worries in the back of her mind and appro
