Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 120 Do I Always Have To Lose To Her?
Alone, seated on the edge of her bed, Leonica stared down at her feet, watching as they swung back and forth, hearing the sound of her back heels hitting the bedframe, yet her mind wasn't paying attention to any of it.Her mind was replaying her conversation with Gabriel and each time it replayed in her head, she recalling the things she had told him, word by word, she bit down on her lower lip, realizing that even though those words had left her mouth in the spur of the moment, they were d*mn true.She had no intentions of going back to her ex husband.She had no intention of entertaining any idea of a relationship with Gabriel.In the first place, the main reason she had even considered it, was for Ashley's sake, but even now, looking at things, she wasn't sure if that was the best thing for Ashley.As it is well known, for a child to grow up well and healthy, they need to be raised in an environment filled with peace and love, something she was sure one of them couldn't give him.A

Gabriel watched as the smoke sizzles in the air, soon disappearing with the winds of approaching summer. His eyes stared ahead, looking aimlessly at the scenery in front of him as he tried to sort out his thoughts.It had been more than two hours since his talk with Angelina had ended and he left Oslo's female prison and might he tells you, all the sh*t she told him, the sh*t he had done, did more harm than good.With a sigh, he brought the cigarette stick to his lips, and took another puff, watching the smoke rise up into the air."You know, that's going to kill you." He turned his head at the sound of an unfamiliar voice, raising a brow at the brunette who stood a few feet away from him.“And you care, why?” He asked, not really in any mood to entertain sympathy from a stranger.“Oh, I don’t.” The female shrugged. “But,” She pointed towards the scenery of a tulips and daffodils garden. “Those little guys, my little guys, don’t deserve to die due to the bad habits of grown men?”Gabr

The first thing Gabriel noticed as the door came open was Leonica's brightly flushed cheeks, followed by her causal top that had one edge hanging off the side of her shoulder, exposing more skin that he was used to and finally.But as tempting it was to stare without much words, or any words at all, Gabriel reminded himself why he had driven for half an hour and stormed his way up her porch, permanently fixing his eyes on her face."What are you doing here?" She sharply questioned, clearly still bitter about their encounter earlier. "Ah," She held up her finger, stopping him just as his lips parted. "And if you're here to say 'we need to talk' then unfortunately for you, you've not only wasted your time and effort, but also your petrol, because I am not in the mood to talk to you.""If you weren't in the mood to talk to me, then why didn't you tell me about the aftermath of Ashley's accident? IVF? Bone Marrow transplant? Nothing." He listed, drilling his gaze into hers when she clamme

"Ms. Romero, shall I tell her to come back another time?" The receptionist asked.Yeah, and postpone her trouble onto another day where she also wouldn't be in the best mood? Not a chance."No, I'll see her now. Have her escorted to the visitor's lounge." Leonica instructed."Understood." The receptionist said and the phone call ended.Standing up from her seat, Leonica adjusted her dress, straightened her posture and left her office.As she walked into the lounge, the female was quick to notice her."Miss Romero." Irene called out, the smile on her lips far from polite, not that Leonica cared. "Your empire is quite beautiful."Small talk, Leonica rolled her eyes at the obvious attempt, sinking into the chair opposite Irene and shooting her a pointed and very much unimpressed look as she dismissed every effort of small talks and went straight to the point."Why are you here?" Her voice held a tone of indifference, arrogance, one would have mistaken it for had they not known her well e

Like hunger driven pests, the press and their paparazzi has flooded into the conference venue the moment word of a conference from Leonica was released.Sitting in the lounge, a few feet away from the stage, Leonica listened to the chatter of the crowd, their voices muffled by the sound proof wall and closed door."Five minutes still we make a statement," Kennedy announced, pacing the room with his tablet, sometimes having to bark orders at the staff present."Are you nervous?" A voice whispered close to her ear."No." She answered and turned her head to the side, locking eyes with the familiar brown ones of Arvan's. "I've had to face worse."Arvan smiled at her words, his expression softening. "True." He said, slipping into the chair beside her. "So, what do you intend to say?""What is meant to be said. The truth. Nothing but the truth.""Sounds good.""Alright, two minutes, we have to move, Ms. Romero, Mr. Richardson." Kennedy said, pointing his hand towards the door.Taking in a d

When 6pm the next day came, Leonica was dressed and ready, all dolled up with the help of Anastasia and Ashley. So she didn’t mind when Owen showed up five minutes earlier.As she stepped out of her house, dressed in a sun yellow off shoulder gown, her hair cascading down her back and shoulders in beautiful waves, and a simple silver watch and necklace of matching color with her gown, Owen was struck speechless by her beauty.“Is that a new look or are you just trying to impress me?” Owen asked, a smirk on his lips as he approached her.Leonica chuckled, rolling her eyes. “Don’t get too cocky Owen, I promised you a chance to swoon me, not a free gate p*ss to keep heart.”Placing his hand out for her to take, he said In a smooth tone. “Who said I wanted a free p*ss? I’ll earn it, no matter how long it takes.”“Yeah?” She shot him a questioning look as she slipped her hand into his, white lace gloves reducing the skin contact, but the warmth was still there. “Well good luck with that.”

That one eerie feeling, did, in fact not go away.That was the first and probably the only thing Leonica took notice of as she woke up.Staring at the ceiling, she once again tried to re*ssure herself, giving a short speech to herself. Telling her mind that she was only feeling this way because of the temporary happiness Owen provided to her life yesterday.Speaking of happiness, she thought, vividly recalling their date yesterday and how it had ended. She blushed and quickly hopped out of bed, hoping to distract herself from the heat rising to her cheek as she got about her daily routine.It was a Saturday morning, so thankfully, she didn't need to wake Ashley up for school. Leaving the child in bed and leaving Grace with the responsibility to prepare breakfast as usual, Leonica took a refreshing bath and got dressed in a comfortable work wear, intending of going into work today to finalize things with the entertainment sector of her company and make Owen an official employee of that

Resting against his car, outside of Romero Empire, Owen patiently tapped his feet while pressing his phone close to his ear.“The caller you’re trying to reach is currently out of service. Please try again another time.” The robotic voice rang into his ear for the umpteenth time.He pulled the phone away and ended the call, glancing up at the company empire in front of him with squinted eyes.It wasn’t like Leonica to be late to an appointment, talk less of having her phone switched off for ten minutes straight.Perhaps her battery ran flat and she’d running late in a meeting. He tried to *ssure himself.But no matter how much he tried to *ssure himself, he couldn’t ignore the feeling of worry bubbling in his chest.“This is odd.” He muttered and tried her number one last time. When it didn’t go through, he pocket the phone and matched into the building of Romero Empire.His eyes spotted the receptionist almost immediately and he walked up to her, tapping the pad of his index finger o

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
