Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 143 Stripped Of Her Title.
For the first time since the start of their conversation, Leonica was rendered speechless, not a single word coming past her parted lips.She just couldn't believe her ears, her father was seriously suggesting she step down as CEO and let Melvin take her position, after everything she had done."I think that's what is best for now." Benjamin said as he rested back in his chair and closed his eyes, purposely ignoring Leonica's bewildered stare."Um, honey," C*ssandra tentatively began, once again glancing between her husband and daughter. "Are you sure this is for the best?"Benjamin peeled one eye open to look at his wife. "Has my decision ever been wrong?"C*ssandra opened her mouth to answer, but immediately shut it. Her husband has indeed never made a wrong decision and his words have always been final. So, rather than trying to make him change his mind, she looked towards her daughter and gave her a sympathetic look.Meanwhile, Leonica could hardly believe her ears.She was gettin

Setting with anger, Leonica was near about to smack the smile off Melvin's face when she heard her name being called from being her.Her entire demeanor seemed to change the moment she turned around and spotted Owen carrying nylons of what she *ssumed was food.Melvin of course, didn’t fail to notice the shift in her character. His eyes gravitated from his little sister towards the blonde boy who was staring speechlessly at him.Did she have a soft spot for this blondie? He thought, resisting the urge to tilt his head as he studied Owen from head to toe.“Owen, what are you doing here?” Partially forgetting her brother’s presence, Leonica sauntered towards Owen, offering him a smile as she gently held his forearm.“I thought it would be nice to surprise you ahead of time,” Came Owen’s response, but Leonica could tell he wasn’t one hundred percent focused on her. When she followed his line of sight- once again recalling that she had been dealing with Melvin- she groaned.“Hyung, nice t

The next day, Benjamin was surprised to see Leonica at the family Vila, holding the paper he had made Melvin deliver to her a day before.“Leonica?”“I’ll step down.” She handed him the paper and when he collected it and took a glance at it, he was surprised to see that she had already signed it.Masking his surprise, Benjamin cleared his throat. “You made the right decision.” Shoving the paper into the drawer of his study desk, he added. “I’m glad to see you finally came around.”Leonica’s expression was unreadable, her face blank, void of any emotions. “Yes, I am glad as well.”“As for the position you’d now be occupying in the company-““That won’t be necessary.” Came Leonica’s interruption with a cool smile on her lips. “I won’t be occupying any position.”Benjamin was confused by her words. “Why is that? Have you finally decided to settle down? Focus more on building your family?”Leonica involuntarily laughed. “Quite the opposite.” Before her father had the chance to decrypt her

The name Tyche- goddess of wealth- Smith was a name well known in the business industry. As far as Rodrigo had heard, she was a self made billionaire who had single handedly risen her fortunate to the top, yet till this day, she remained anonymous, only contacting those that she dimmed fit to be business partners.Which was why when Rodrigo got a call from a person claiming to be her, he was beyond excited, not caring that the time was a little bit too late for a business call."A business proposal you say?" He repeated her words, discarding the game of chess he had been playing with himself- making strategies for his latest plan- and walking to stand by the vast window that took up one third of the wall space in his study."Yes," Came the answer from the other end. "You see, as of late, I've been wanting to expand into certain territory. Grow my fortune far more than I have built it up to be." There was a pause as his caller allowed her words sink in. "By that, I mean, I wish to buy

Gabriel wasn't sure whether he was meant to be worried over the fact that Leonica had come to him for help? Or disappointment over the fact that she had only approached him with her benefit in mind?"You need my help? Care to elaborate?" He asked and Leonica readied herself to give the shortest and vaguest explanation she could come up with."A few days ago, I stepped down from being president of Romero Empire." Gabriel arched a brow. Well this was news to him. "Well, more correctly, it was taken from me?""Taken? By who?"Ah, now this was the question she didn't want to answer. Explaining her family history to someone who she didn't even dim as an acquaintance and only needed him for his cooperation, wasn't really her cup of tea.Seeing the look of hesitance that flashed across her face for a second, Gabriel was quick to understand that she didn't want to answer that question.He cleared his throat, steering into a new question. "So how does all this involve you needing my help?"Leo

The look of relief on Gabriel's face told Leonica all she needed to know.He was indeed happy, so happy that a subtle smile graced his lips, this in turn, had Leonica questioning internally, if her forgiveness was worth more than millions.Was he feeling that guilty about all the things he had done? Even though he didn't remember them all?Was he really the same Gabriel that suddenly began maltreating her? Or was he forever going to remain this Gabriel, the version of himself who her younger self had fallen in love with?Shaking her head, she dismissed the thought. She didn't need to think of things like that, not right now."Now that we've settled that," Leonica started. "About the contract,""I'll call my lawyers," Gabriel said, pulling his phone out and making a call to his lawyer's office.Leonica watched him as he spoke, and couldn't help but notice the softness in his tone and the relaxed stance his body held.It was a sight that was long forgotten as it had been a distant time

"It's just one dinner, how bad can it be."Stepping into the rather grand dinning Hall with it's tables full of foods, Leonica had to mentally face palm herself for being too naive and underestimating the level of her own curiosity.If there was ever a phrase that was able to describe how bad the dinner was going, it would be the saying 'the calm before the storm'.Leonica had to admit, she had seen her fair share of dinners- thanks to her parents and grandparents, but this one was a whole new level.The silence, the tension and the occasional awkwardness that followed after each time, one of them picked up their cutleries and made a small clanking noise was almost unbearable.She could have sworn that at some point, the tension between Owen and his father could be cut with a knife.And then there was her, the unwanted guest.She felt as if she didn't belong there and that feeling only increased when Owen's father, Taehyun, turned to his long time friend and business partners, who he

Just a few days ago, Romero Empire had a net worth of over ten billion, today, after so many investors have withdrawn their investment, it merely graced 3 billion dollars.So, looking at the figure in front of him, with that in mind, Melvin felt like a rock had just suddenly been dumped on his head.1.92 Billion dollars wasn't money to be played about with and the painful fact is that there was no way they could avoid this case as long as it was Gabriel Bryce filling for a suit."How the hell did this come about?" He questioned Kennedy, waiting impatiently for the *ssistant to give his response.His response however, came in the form of a paper. "Mr. Bryce's lawyer brought this along." He explained as he placed it down on the table in front of Melvin.Melvin, took one look at the content and less than a minute later, disappointment washed over him."What? What does it say?" Rodrigo asked as he inched forward, wanting to confirm that the company wasn't going into such a huge problem be

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
