Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 97 Aftermath Of The Flames.
Leonica eyes remained glued to the burning house, frozen shut in place, even after Owen tucked Ashley in the back seat and came back for her, leading her towards the p*ssenger seat and whispering to her that everything was going to be alright and for now, he’d drive she and Ashley some for safety. The moment his hands released her to pull open the door, the spell had broken and the world around her began to make sense again.Owen was about to open the door, intending to lead her in when Leonica’s hand caught his. He turned to look at her with a confused gaze.“What are you doing?” He asked."He's still in there." Came her reply. "He's in there. I'm sure of it." She repeated sternly and broke out of his hold."Leo... Leonica, where are you going." Owen said and chased after her, standing in her path to block her.At times like this, Leonica cursed the fact that the younger boy had somehow grown taller than her."Get out of my way." She demanded."You're not thinking rationally." Owen c
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 98 Amnesia.
“Mr. Bryce seems to have suffered from a concussion caused by the explosion, resulting in partial amnesia.” Doctor Bailey explained to Leonica as they now stood outside of Gabriel’s hospital ward.After hearing the news, she had rushes to the hospital for more detailed explanation and intake. Upon arriving at the hospital and walking in during one of Gabriel’s physical examination, she was shocked that he didn’t make any effort to speak to her. He had only stared at her like some weird statue and after a while, he said.“I think you’re in the wrong room, Ms.”Three months ago, Leonica would have killed to hear those exact same words and watch Gabriel stare at her with those exact same unfamiliar yet familiar eyes, but that was three months and now was now, the present and hearing those words, pulled at a string in her heart.“Gabriel…” she had begun, still finding it hard to believe Doctor Bailey’s words. For some reason, she believed that Gabriel, the Gabriel she knowns, was just too
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 99 Who Are You To Me?
The one time Leonica found the most gripping each time she settled down to read her favorite books, were the pin drop moment.Suspense, silence and uncertainty. Those three went pleasant well during that particular moment and made the story all the more interesting and gripping to her as a devoted reader. But heck, she had never for once sat down and thought about how she’d handle such a situation if it was her faced with it, rather than the Mary Sue female leads in the books she read.Thus, a minute after Gabriel had asked the question he did, Leonica still remained silent, unsure of how to answer the question.Who was she to him? Even she wondered, but right now obviously wasn’t the time for her to seat back and indulge herself with the pleasure of trying to figure that question out. Right now, she needed to answer the question which had been asked.But even with that mindset put at the forefront of her mind, Leonica still couldn’t bring herself to answer, after all, if she wasn’t s
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 100 Visiting The Villainess.
“We once were, but now, we’re divorced.”Gabriel stood by his window, glancing down at the small meaningless p*ssing figures, all the while allowing Leonica’s words to replay in his mind as if it had been set on repeat.Not a secondly longer had gone by after the last repeat, when he sighed and stuffed both of his hands into his pocket, leaning his weight slightly on the back of his heel.Why was Leonica's words disturbing him? No, why was he allowing her words disturb him?Was it because of the familiar aura that surrounded her, prompting him to believe that they had indeed been married, but now divorced as she said? Or was it the fact that he found it challenging to believe that he had actually settled down with the very same woman his grandmother had picked for him?That’s right, he remembered Leonica, at least he remembered what his memory allowed and that was the fact that she was the woman his grandmother had picked to be his wife in an arranged marriage between two families.He
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 101 Forget-Me-Not.
The next day, Leonica had taken just about enough time out from her work schedule to have Ashley taken to school by herself.As they pulled up in the parking lot of his school and Leonica gathered his bag and lunch box, the boy turned to face her.“Mommy?” He called out to her.“Yes darling?” Leonica answered all the while trying to ensure that she had packed everything he’d need for the school day, earlier in the morning.“When can I go and see daddy again?”She halted at his question and looked at him. “What?”“I haven’t seen daddy in a long while,” Well, not long, just the last two weeks she had stopped him from visiting Gabriel because she thought his chances of waking up were growing slimmer with each p*ssing day. In short, her intention was to make sure the younger boy wouldn’t be hurt when his father didn’t wake up any longer. And she also hoped that slowly, he’d grown to forget about Gabriel.But sadly, that wasn’t happening anytime soon and now that Gabriel was awake, with am
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 102 He Discovered He Had A Son.
“Stuart Reeds was his name.” Kennedy explains, pacing the office all the while his employer sat behind her desk, reading through the employee candidate list for what seemed like the hundredth time.After the interview has ended, a bit too quickly than he had expected, Leonica had requested for the file, mumbling underneath her breath about Stuart having this awful off putting vibe around him.But even after yet another back ground check, license plate scans and criminal background check up, they still couldn’t find anything to match her suspicion.“Previously worked in C&D industry as the head of their accounting department.” He continued on, unaware of how the name of the mentioned company had caught Leonica’s attention.“C&D industry?” She asked, raising her gaze from the file for the first time. Her question earned a nod from the *ssistant, which later left her to think back to where she had heard the said name.Less than a minute later, it clicked into place. Owen, he had mentione
Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 103 The Inevitable Couldn't Be Avoided.
The inevitable couldn’t be avoided, Leonica told herself over and over again, as she stood in front of the picture Gabriel had slid across the table, feeling like she had felt the day she revealed Ashley’s identity to him back at the hospital.Gabriel, noticing her hesitancy to speak, spoke up. “You seem to be keeping a lot of things from me, Leonica.”“I’m not.” She argued, gaze still glued on the picture while her mind tried to phantom about escape from the situation.But, did she really need an escape? Leonica’s definition of escape, as she has learnt, is to complicate things more than they already were. But did she really need to do that right now?What harm could it bring to come clean? The voice in the back of her mind questioned.Yeah, what harm indeed?The worse that could happen was Gabriel denying Ashley and finally cutting ties with them both, using his amnesia as an excuse. That sounded nice, until it didn’t and ended up leaving a sour taste in Leonica’s mouth and a rising

The moment Leonica had left, Bill stuck his head through the door, testing the water whether or not it was okay for him to step in.“Sir?” He called out, snapping Gabriel out of whatever he had been thinking about at that moment. “May I step in?”Gabriel waved his hand at his *ssistant’s question, indicating that he could do whatever he pleased. Tentatively, he stepped in while Gabriel returned back to the chair he had been seating in, grabbing the photo he has found in the process.Once again staring at the photo, Ashley in particular, Gabriel found his mind replaying Leonica's words, something that had somewhat become like a daily routine to him, since he had woken up a few days ago.He wondered, had he really been that much of an *sshole?Was he the reason their marriage ended? The reason why Ashley was forced to live with a broken family?Although he couldn’t recall a thing about the child, Gabriel felt connected to him, just from the photo alone and thinking about how much the ch

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
