Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 67 A Call From The Devil.
The entire of three days had p*ssed before Ashley had been discharged from the hospital. Having the strings and wires upon wires detached from his arms and bandages unwrapped from his forehead felt like a whole new level of bliss and freedom combined."Alright, that should wrap it up." Doctor Bailey concluded, dropping the last of Ashley's used bandage into the awaiting tray of his *ssistant nurse.Ashley nearly squeaked with joy, nearly. But he didn't. Holding himself back, he jumped off his hospital bed, landing on his feet and charging at his parents the very next second. Leonica happily caught him, swooping him up into her arms."Mommy, I'm free!"Chuckling at his excitement, Leonica kissed his forehead. "That's right. Congratulations.""Congrats Champ." Gabriel gently patted the child's head from where he stood on the side.Ashley giggled happily at the gesture and moment overall. Having both his mother and father with him was one of the best wishes he could ask for. And he got i
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 68 Simple, Sweet And Friendly Talk, Indeed.
Simple and friendly talk.Leonica nearly chuckled at the misleading words.If someone other than her had heard those words, they would have pegged she and Angelina for best friends, or close friends at least. But oh, how far from that they were.“Ha, you sure do got some balls,” Leonica spat into the phone. “Calling my line just to tell me some crap *ss bullsh*t after all the stunts you’ve pulled. And what, you believe I'd easily waltz right into where you want me. Big imagination you’ve got there.”“Oh Leonica,” Angelina sighed, having expected this exact attitude from Leonica. At the other end, accompanied by her silver-sounding sigh was the clicking sound of cutlery. Leonica didn’t want to imagine the witch spilling on a cup of calming tea as she utter her ridiculous words, but it was already too late. Her mind had created the picture in her head, causing her to cringe.Both mentally and physically.“I knew you’d be like this, and trust me, really, trust me, I didn’t want to have t
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 69 Checkmate.
“What?” Leonica’s face was the mirror of her emotions.Confused, utterly confused, yet curious.What had Angelina said to Gabriel five years ago that caused their divorce? That was an answer she had thought of...craved for the first two years of her being in Colorado. But as time went on, it was safe to say she began to move on, meeting new people and making new memories. Memories that overshadowed the painful ones she no longer wanted to remember.Thankfully, after three years of living in Colorado, warmly welcomed by her new neighborhood, Leonica stopped craving answers to that one question that haunted her. And soon, she completely forgot it.That was until today.“Do I want to know?” She uttered, watching as Angelina nodded her head, brunette ponytail bouncing around at the gesture.Unsurprisingly, her past self would have jumped at the opportunity. But currently as she is, that answer no longer mattered to her.The past is the past and she refused to continue living in it.Shakin

The next few seconds after that, played out in a slow and soundless motion in Leonica’s mind.On the floor, Angelina’s mouth was wide open, possibly wailing in pain, yet the white-Ette couldn’t seem to hear any sound as her mind tried to think up the fastest escape route for the obvious ploy Angelina had dragged her into. Her eyes on the other hand, were mostly trained on Gabriel who was approaching them with an expression that screamed panic, instead of the female on the floor in obvious pain.Gabriel was by her side in seconds and his eyes met Leonica's, but only for a split second, before he looked back at his bleeding fiancée on the floor.“Argh! It hurts! Someone please...help me!” Angelina’s voice faded in, snapping Leonica’s attention towards her.Her eyes widened upon seeing the stream of crimson that was pooling behind her, tainting her lovely blue spring gown. Gabriel soon spotted the red pool, and just like Leonica, his eyes grew wide. But unlike her, he did not remain in o

“Just because I Chose to keep quiet, doesn’t mean you should take me for a fool, Angelina.”“What...what do you mean?” The brunette stuttered. Gabriel’s earlier words had knocked some of her missing sense back into her, returning her attitude to the calm, meek and weak damsel Gabriel knew her once to be. “I’d never take you for a fool, Gabriel. I love you.”“Yeah? And I'm supposed to believe that?” Reaching into the pocket of his leather jacket, Gabriel fished out his phone whilst asking.“Do you doubt it?” The female questioned back.Not answering her question immediately, Gabriel tinkered with his phone for a few seconds, a minute at most, before he tossed it into her lap. “Nowadays, I really do doubt that.”Looking down at the phone, Angelina became speechless at the video that was playing.It was surveillance footage from the night of Stellar’s birthday party, showing that Leonica had been the one who stepped into the room. And the later part, early in the morning, showed the very

“Just go home, please.”Seated in front of her room vanity mirror, Gabriel’s words replayed in Leonica’s head like a haunting tape.For some reason, she couldn’t get it out of her head. Perhaps it had been his tone? Or the anger that she had expected to come, more than prepared herself to receive, but never did? Or perhaps was it the expression on his face?Or all three of them?Whichever it was, it haunted her mind over and over again, throughout the entire freaking day.Heaving a sigh, she pulled off the last of her jewelry and looked in the mirror just in time to see Ashley poking his head through the threshold of her door.“Mommy?” He called out in a small voice, testing his mother’s mood as he had stood by her door for nearly ten minutes, observing as her mood deteriorated every now and now, and only ever growing the guts to call out to her when he felt his eye lids getting really heavy.Putting on her best smile to mask her inner troubles, Leonica turned around in her chair. “He

A day had gone and despite Gabriel's audacious accusation, Leonica couldn't stop her Mary-Sue like mind from still pondering about Angelina wellbeing. Seated in her office, she flipped through yet another file with an absent mind, heaving a sigh at the end. Kennedy who was seated in a chair in the far corner of her office, nearly swallowed by the heap of files, generated from half of the work Leonica had unintentionally neglected over the days, glanced her way, instantly noticing the zoned-out look on her face.It was obvious that something was on her mind, and Kennedy, more than anyone, knew that the moment something plagued his employer's mind, she was either slow at work, got the work done, but however with several errors which he had to later on correct, or doesn't get any work done at all.A painful flaw in her almost perfect personality that she definitely had to work on fixing.After a moment of internal debate, whether to remain silent and bury his nose back into his work, or

“It didn’t belong to me,” Leonica knitted her brows at Gabriel’s outburst.What was he going on about now?what the h*ll didn’t belong to him?“What?”“The child Angelina had been carrying... it didn’t belong to me.” Gabriel repeated, more clearly this time around.Swallowing thick, he awaited Leonica’s reaction, surprised to see that she was looking surprised. Of course, she was! Heck, who wouldn’t be?After nearly a month of believing that Angelina was carrying his child, he suddenly spilled the beans, saying the child didn’t belong to him.How exactly does that work?“Why... why are you telling me this?” Leonica asked once she was able to shake the surprise off. “What do you hope to gain by doing this?”“I...” Gabriel began, only for the rest of his words to die on his tongue. He had no valid reason for telling her what he just did.In all honesty, it was a spur of the moment reaction to stop her from walking away. But obviously, Gabriel wasn’t going to admit that. But to himself a

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
