Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 125 Date At A Ballet Theatre.
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

"So what you mean to tell me is that Ms. Leonica Romero was kidnapped by the CEO of C&D industries?" The man with a mustache, cloaked from head to toe in Norway's original police uniform, asked Owen as they stood in the security office.Owen narrowed his eyes, looking weirdly at the man in front of him. Had he honestly just asked that question after watching the footage he was just shown?"Yes." Owen muttered, biting his lower lip in order to not lose his patience with the man. "Are you not going to do anything?"The mustached officer looked at his partner. They both shared a look before he placed his hand on his waist holder."Sir, I'm sorry to have to inform you that, but there's nothing we can do." He said and Owen's brows twitched."Excuse me?" He said, a sharp edge to his tone."An official report has to be made and an investigation opened and only then will we be allowed to move forward. Until then, the most we can do is send a team to look for her.""So what? Leonica's gonna re

The gun had gone off, the sound loud and clear, resonating loudly against the murky walls of whatever house Stuart had trapped her in. Leonica clammed her eyes shut, expecting the pain to come sooner or later, but it never did and the only thing that hit her body was Owen’s body.She peeled her eyes open at the contact and blood drained from her face when she saw that the waist side of the white Hoodie Owen was wear was slowly turning crimson red.All at once, it clicked in her head. He had been shot!“O-owen?” She sputtered, holding onto him as panic took over her quicker than she could ever have imagined.“I-I’m fine.” He groaned when his hand touched where the bullet had hit.“No you’re not. You’re bleeding!” Leonica pointed out the obvious, from the corner of her eyes; she caught Stuart laughing and turned towards him with a harsh glare.“He’s bleeding.” He parroted in a funny manner, laughing even harder at his own joke.“You sick b*stard!” Leonica spat, labored breath p*ssing th

The days following the incident with Stuart had turned out more stressful than Leonica could have ever imagined. For one, she had to pay several visit to the prescient, laying complaints, answering questions and undergoing investigations. After that, she had to tally her matter with her parents and boy was that not easy.Despite how much Leonica had tried to re*ssure her parents, C*ssandra to be precise, that she was alright, she wasn't hurt or anything, the older woman still fussed over her. In a way, Leonica understood, seeing as something similar had happened, claiming a member of their family. So she decided not to put up much fight, and instead just allow her mother to worry over her.The other people she had to tally her matter with were Leonardo and Anastasia. Between her parents and them, Leonica wasn't sure which of them had worried more about her.When Leonardo found out about the entire thing, he was enraged, and although the anger wasn't directed at her, she had still fear

In light of Owen’s discharge from the hospital, Leonica and Ashley had arranged a short trip to a once in a century festival that way taking place in the heart of Oslo.Throughout the ride towards Owen’s place, Ashley was hyper, bouncing up and down in the back seat. As much as Leonica wanted to lecture him on seating still, she opted not to, letting the child have his way for now.It was sort of a compensation for the way her decisions had messed up his life.Speaking of decisions, she thought as she adjusted her mirror above, fixing it so that she could see Ashley from behind.“Ash,” She called out, looking away from the room in time to see the child looking back at her on the mirror. “You okay, buddy?” She asked. “About your dad and I’s decision?” She added.Just like before, when she had explained the entire situation to him, Ashley flashed her a big smile. “I’m fine, mommy.” He re*ssured. “I understand mommy and daddy can’t be together and that doesn’t bother me, as long as you b

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
