After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel)
Chapter 2

Get Out Of My House!

The humiliating memory of the wedding night came back to her when Leonica caught Angelina sitting comfortably on her matrimonial bed like she was the real hostess.

"Y-You! How did you get in here?" Leonica hissed, anger rising to the surface of her visage as a glare formed on her eyes.

Angelina didn't say anything, instead, she just looked at Leonica provocatively. And the next second, the bathroom door opened from behind and Gabriel stepped out, with a bathroom towel wrapped around his waist as his wet hair clung messily to his face. Leonica's heart shattered into pieces at that moment and her eyes were filled with betrayal hurt, and annoyance, especially when Gabriel's facial expression turned into disdain after spotting her existence.

"Gabriel, what is she doing here?" Leonica demanded as she balled her fists.

Angelina wasted no time in scurrying over to Gabriel and shamelessly burying her face in his bare chest, acting like a scared cat.

Gabriel made no effort to withdraw from her touch nor shoo her off, instead, he embraced her, wrapping his arm around Angelina.

"Are okay?" He asked her with a soft expression.

The scene angered Leonica as much as it hurt her. She clenched her fist, nails digging painfully into her palm as she tried to stop her anger from overflowing.

"Gabriel..." She asked again, face twitching in anger. "I'm asking why this woman is here."

"That's none of your business, Leonica," Gabriel replied, his expression turning frosty as soon as he took his eyes off Angelina.

None of her business? There it was again. He did have no other words to her other than that, didn't he? Leonica started to feel like a joke. Mom was right, why should she waste her time-on a heartless man? "You're right." She squeezed a mocking smile as she nodded, "I have no interest in what you. were doing together."

"But this is my house," She added, trying her best to sound calm and composed. "And I don't want to see her here. Leave this house, right this instant."

"What if I refuse?" Gabriel countered, causing Leonica to flinch, her eyes widening. "If you can't treat my guest right, you can go back to your parent's house and spend the night there!" "W-What?"

Was her husband really telling her to leave Their home for another woman?

GetOUTUI AS, HOUSE

The very same woman who had broken his heart and left him a ruined mess three years ago?! Leonica was speechless.

"You heard me." He stated, his eyes challenging. "What are you waiting for?"

"No," Leonica said, surprising not only Gabriel but also Angelina who glanced up at her in shock.

"Why should I leave?" She objected, taking a daring step forward and looking straight at Gabriel.

"This is my home, not hers. I have the right to ask any stranger to leave."

The sternness on her face surprised him, after all, Leonica was always one to obey his words. and seemed meek. She rarely ever retaliated or objected over anything he said.

"This isn't your house alone, Leonica. I own this house just as much as you do. I have the r to invite anyone I want here." Gabriel retorted, his jaw taut.

right

Leonica knew this was a sign of his anger, but at this moment she didn't bother to care.

"Now you remember it's OUR house." Leonica sneered, "Or should I remind you more exactly? It's under my name, alone."

Her gaze was so sharp that he was a little unaccustomed. Leonica didn't lie, the house was a wedding gift from Grandma to them. He didn't care much when Grandma decided to put it under Leonica's name. But now seeing such a forceful face of her made him even angrier.

Ignoring her words, Gabriel insisted. "Angelina isn't going anywhere. I don't care if you want otherwise!"

Hearing his nonsense and seeing how he cradled Angelina in his arms like she was his true wife, Leonica couldn't hold her anger anymore.

"Gabriel Bryce, how can you be so shameless?" she asked, staring daggers at her atrocious. husband and his mistress. "Aren't you afraid that would disappoint Grandma...?"

Leonica's words remained unfinished as an enraged Gabriel swung his hand through the air, smacking his palm clean on her left cheek.

The sound resonated through the empty walls of their bedroom, surprising both Angelina and

Leonica.

Never in her three years of marriage had Leonica expected Gabriel to raise his hands against her.

With a throbbing cheek and wide, disbelieving eyes, Leonica held onto her red cheek and stared at her husband who was glaring ferociously at her.

"The nerves of you to mention my grandmother. You have no right to do so!" He spat, taking

a step forward and jabbing his index finger painfully into her shoulder, making her take several steps back.

"Bare this in mind, Leonica Romero, if not for the wishes of my late grandmother, I'd much rather be dead than associate myself with somebody like you, talk less have you as my wife."

His words were so cold and his eyes were so hateful to her that Leonica felt it like a bucket of cold water had suddenly been splashed on her, waking her up to the reality that she had been denying for the past three years.

She loved Gabriel, but it was clear he never loved her.

Without love, how would he give her baby a warm and loving family? What he really wanted would be a child with Angelina, right?

Leonica felt her chest heavy, like something had suddenly lodged itself in her throat and was blocking her breathing, and her eyes stung.

She was about to cry, she could feel the tears threatening to fall.

But she had to stop herself.

Since he had no heart for her, she could show even less weakness, especially when Angelina the home wrecker was still here, silently watching the whole fight raised by her.

So, biting down on her lower lip and blinking the tears away, Leonica lifted her head. She sighed as she armed herself with a sharp and fierce gaze.

There was no need to act and pretend coy anymore.

Mom and Dad were right, there was nothing worth keeping her in this marriage. So before then, why should she make it easy for them?

"You'd better not try me, Gabriel Bryce." Leonica reminded him, "I, Leonica Bryce, am still

your wife."

The way she looked at him was so calm and unfamiliar that took Gabriel aback.

And before he spoke, Leonica threatened, "If you really want that divorce, then get this

woman out now."

Her Din Marriage.

Gabriel didn't know how to tell his feelings.

The woman standing before him was clearly the same, yet the aura around her had suddenly

shifted.

him, trying to vie for his attention like a hungry

Earlier in the day she had been pleading v whore and now here she was, acting like an arrogant lioness.

But most of all, he wondered why his heart ached when Leonica spoke of divorce with such

conviction.

Wasn't her willingness to divorce exactly what he wanted?

"Gabe, I...I think I should leave. I-I don't want to see you two fighting because of me." Angelina's voice pulled him out of his mind. The little woman hung her head low in his arms, trying to restrain her trembling. "Stay here." He tried to reassure Angelina but got Leonica scoffed. Gabriel shot his angry gaze

to his wife again..

Angelina suppressed her smile and continued her act, "N-no. I think I should leave."

She said and quickly turned around to get dressed. However, when she just took a few steps. from Gabriel, she acted wobbly and suddenly collapsed to the floor, pretending to faint. "Angelina!" Gabriel called out, alarmed and worried, as he rushed to her side.

When his words failed to bring a reaction from her, Gabriel quickly picked her up in his arms, turning around, and shoving Leonica out of his way as he rushed out of the room.

Leonica who was still blankly rooted in her spot, watched her husband hurry out with his mistress. There was nothing but sadness in her heart: Gabriel had never cared for her like that. The last of her will for trying to make the marriage work, dying out like a dimming candle.

Placing her hand on her stomach, she lowered her voice and quietly apologized.

"Little one, I'm sorry I won't tell your father about you. When you come into this world, please don't be too angry at Mommy."

After leaving the house, Garbiel had rushed to the nearest hospital and had Angelina admitted and checked up on. Only after hearing that she was in good condition did Gabriel relax. Taking one last look at Angelina's sleeping form, Gabriel exited the hospital.

The doctor said Angelina seemed to be over-stressed and needed a good rest and to stay in a

good mood. Gabriel knew he'd better accompany her for the night, however, Leonica's face kept flashing in his mind and he just couldn't stop it.

Damn! When it was clear that Leonica was the one who fooled Grandma and forced
