Subtle music in the background mixed with the flashing sounds of paparazzi cameras, Gabriel walked down the entrance carpet, Angelina beside him.However, instead of his date, his eyes roamed the faces of people, looking for a certain someone.It didn’t take long before he the object of his search.Leonica, was the object of his search.And the more he watched her, the harder it became for him to fight away the fact of how stunning she looked in her dress tonight.It was different from how he had seen her the previous time. This time, she had a smile on her lips, looking care free and happy. That look however, faded as soon as her eyes landed on him.He couldn't blame her, as his own lips had tightened and his jaws clenched, the feeling of hatred between them was mutual.“Gabriel?” Angelina’s voice pulled him away from the scene in front.“Is everything alright?” She asked, a slight worried tone in her voice.Gabriel nodded, however he couldn’t stop his gaze from traveling back to the

Seven minutes before,Hand stuffed in his pocket and body leaned against the nearest wall, Gabriel watched the interaction ensuing in the balcony with dark hooded lids.All around him, the aura seemed deadly, combined with the look of obviously jealousy that swept across his face each time Christian spoke to Leonica.As if one man wasn’t enough for her, she was going after another, of course.“Gabe,”Angelina’s voice called him back to reality and he looked down, watching as the woman he had come with, offered him a gl*ss of wine, gl*ss of water in her other hand.“Are you alright?”Taking the offered drink, Gabriel nodded his head. “Yes, why wouldn’t I be?”Angelina shrugged her shoulders, sipping the water from the gl*ss in her hand and waiting for Gabriel to take a sip from his.He didn't, not Immediately. Instead, he stared down at the liquid in the gl*ss, watching as the light from the lamps hanging overhead reflected against the wine’s surface.A few moments later, he raised the

Hands balled and jaws clenched tightly, Angelina stood off in a corner, fuming from head to toe as she watched Leonica meander out of the room, hair a mess and fresh hickeys decorating her back and neck, ultimately clarifying that the plan she had spent days crafting, had fallen into the wrong hands.And it was all because of that b*tch called Leonica!She had ruined everything, stolen the opportunity away from her when she had spent thousands on the drug she diluted Gabriel's drink with.She had waited patiently, bought the drug from a friend of hers who *ssured her that one night was all it took for her to get pregnant with Gabriel baby, with thousands of dollars and at the right time, decided to strike, but all because of Stellar dragging her away from a talk, she had lost the opportunity.Slowly advancing from her spot, Angelina moved towards the room Leonica had stepped out from and with much hesitation, peeped into it.Her heart skipped a beat at the sight, for Gabriel was indee

Black face cap and mask concealing her identity, Angelina jogged out of the hotel that had been used for Stellar's birthday event and onto the other side of the road where a car sent from her company had been waiting for her.When she slipped into the back seat, her manager eyes the marks on her exposed neck. Even in the dim atmosphere of the car, tinted windows and all, the marks were still overly visible."Ms. Fernandez...those..."Following the directions of her manager's line of sight, the brunette chuckled. "Oh don't worry, this aren't real." Reaching into her hand bag, she pulled out fresh wet wipes and dragged the across her skin, cleaning off the makeup to reveal her unmarked skin underneath.Her manager stared at her, confused."You wouldn't understand," Tossing the wipes on the floor with one hand, she patted the innocent adolescent on the head with her other one. "Now tell the driver to take us to the studio, I don't want to arrive later than the scheduled time.""Y-yes ma'

Eye brow knitting at his words, Leonica allowed her brain register the situation for a while before she questioned.“Hospital? Why?”“Supposed stomach ache,” Kennedy answered with the exact words Chloe, Arvan’s *ssistant had told him, all the while watching as his employer stopped in her track, turning around and heading in the direction of the elevator.“What hospital?” She demanded.Kennedy was silent for a while, typing away on his phone before replying. “Midway international hospital.” He informed.Leonica nodded her head, mapping the exact location in her head as she stepped into the elevator once it arrived on her floor. “I’ll leave now, you handle things over here, Kennedy.” She instructed, watching as The *ssistant bowed his head before the lift door closed.When she stepped out of the lift, she rushed towards her car and quickly drove towards the location Kennedy had relayed to her. Arriving at Midway international hospital, Leonica walked up to the reception, knocking her na
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 45 She Lied To Their Son.
Ashely’s new week in school began with him listening to Daisy tell him all about how much his mother had spent time with her, rather than him.The entire week, his mother had barely spent time with his, giving some excuse after the other while leaving him in his grandparents place, So hearing from another child that she had spent time and love intended for him, on her, bittered him, even though that wasn’t the girl’s intention.“Alright children, kindly quiet down.” The silver like sound of their homeroom teacher voice, Mrs. Harper, cut through his train of thought.Looking up, Ashely faced the woman who was trying to calm the children.When she finally did, she continued. “Today, we will be having our morning routines as usual, however with one exception.” Pointing her hand towards the door, everyone watched as a tall well built figure walked into their cl*ssroom.Watching the figure walk in, Ashely’s eyes grew wide in astonishment, recognition and pleasure. His expression was acknow

It was inaccurate to say Leonica was angry as she walked into the cl*ssroom, eyes trained solely on Gabriel in a deathly glare.A more accurate expression for her, would be fuming, red faced and all, which was the least expression she should have showed. Like, just imagine walking you merry way into your son’s school, intending to pick him up, only to find your devil of a ex husband, petting and playing daddy with him.F*ck no!Stopping shut right in front of the man she had been glaring at, Leonica reached forward and with lightening speed, she pulled Ashely away, pushing him behind her like she was an acting shield.“what the h*ll do you think you’re doing here?” She questioned with a pointed stare, not for one bit, liking the way he remained silent and tilted his head to the side, eyes dropping to the corners of her neck.Unintentionally, she flinched. F*ck those gray eyes of his. They haunted her in her every nightmares and now here he was, standing in front of her and watching he

What. The. Actual. F*ck.Those were the words that rolled into Leonica’s mind as she had stared at the picture, bewildered.Up until this point, she had prepared for anything, everything and probably the worst situation, that Gabriel could throw at her.She had placed contingencies after contingencies in place, even going as far as to reduce Ashely’s Actual age, from four to three years old. She had taken several more steps to ensure that her baby, her son, was safe with her no matter what.Yet here she was, seating in her car, visibly panicking while driving to the location Gabriel had given her.And why was that, or better yet, how had that come about? Simply because he sent her the photo of a paternity folder.Now fake or not, Leonica wasn’t about to test her luck. First hand, she knew how smart and not to mention, brutal, Gabriel could be. So if that folder was indeed genuine, then she didn’t want to seat around and find out what he would do.And if it wasn’t, then so be it.Pulli

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
