After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel)
Chapter 35

But even though he knew his friend was right, he didn't like the way he has challenged him, once again taking Leonica's side over his.

From his point of view, or at least how things stood, it looked to him like Christian cared FAR too much for someone like Leonica, who was his ex wife. He Indeed needed to know where to draw the line.

Sighing, he pulled into the driveway of Angelina's residence. Suddenly, his mind thought back to yet another question Christian had asked him,

Was he going to remarry Leonica?

Gabriel glanced at the dashboard of his car, actually taking his time to think the answer actually taking his time to think the answer through. At first it seemed like a bad option, the worst

even, but as he continued to ponder it, imagining how complete of a family he'd have if Ashely, Leonica and him were together, the option didn't seem like a bad one..

A passing thought, made him feel like perhaps all he needed to do to fix this mess and bring Ashely home, was go spend more time with Leonica and change her from the scheming woman she had grown to be. That was a simple and easy solution that could be achieved. For the sake of his son having a

happy family, he was ready to give his mother another chance.

'However, Stepping out of his car, he gazed up at the mansion in front of him, instantly spotting Angelina's room window lighted up. 'Even then, another issue would arise."

"Good evening Master Bryce," Angelina's head butler greeted as he opened the house's door to Gabriel and welcomed him in. "The Madam is in her room with Doctor Ken." He informed.

Gabriel gave a single nod as he walked past, climbing the stairs and shortly arriving at Angelina's room. From The inside, he identified two voices holding a conversation.

A conversation that quickly ceased as soon as he gently knocked on the door.

"Ange, it's me. I'm coming in." Turning the nob, he slowly pushed the door open.

On the bed, Angelina was lying down, thick duvet draped across her leg and all the way up to her chest. Beside her was Doctor Ken, stethoscope perched around his neck.

"Gabe, "Angelina meekly called out upon seeing the male. Raising her hand, she made grabby motions, beckoning for him to come over.

Shutting the door behind him, Gabriel advanced towards her bed side, Doctor Ken giving him a bow of acknowledgement before stepping back.

"How are you feeling?" Taking a seat on the edge of her bed, his fingers gently stroked her

hair.

Angelina, rather than responding to his question, leaned into his touch, humming in content/ and closing her eye at the feeling

Gabriel allowed a breathy chuckle escape his lips at the sight before turning to face the doctor in the room.

"How is she? And what was so important that you requested I come here and discuss it over in person?" He questioned.

"I'll be honest with you. The miss health isn't getting any better." He informed, watching as Gabriel's features stiffened. Sensing that he was listening and had his full attention, the doctor continued. "I checked the chats, her health doesn't seem to have improved any better than it was five years ago and after my many test and," he paused and looked at Angelina who shrunk as soon as Gabriel's gaze also found her. "A little doctor and patient discussion, I was able determine the factor of her health deterioration." "And, what is it?"

Doctor Ken stepped forward and handed Gabriel the test result. "The reason why the Miss health has failed to recover is because after all these years, she still feels guilty and is unable to forgive herself for having agreed to aborting your child, eight years ago." How Cruel Can She Be?

Surprise ridden by the sudden revelation, Gabriel was left speechless. He remained silent, staring almost blankly at the test result in his hand, yet his mind was swarming with

thousands of questions.

At last, he gathered himself and asked. "Angelina was pregnant? When?" He glanced between the doctor and his fiancee, who hung he'd head low under his stare.

"Eight years ago." Doctor Ken answered and sighed. "From her chat history that I have. studied, it's clear that the baby had been miscarried, but Madam Fernandez insists that it was an abortion."

"I'm not lying," Angelina defended.

"Medical chats don't lie, Angelina," Gabriel nearly snapped, the entire news of having had a child that he lost eight years ago, without even knowing of it, felt somewhat overwhelming for him. "It's either Doctor Ken forged this papers, or you are lying, so which is it?" "I...Gabe, please," She begged, water forming in the corner of her eyes. Gabriel felt bad, but nonetheless he stood his ground, knowing that even though retouching the subject for her might hurt as much as it looked, he needed to know.

Seeing that Gabriel wasn't budging, Angelina allowed her tears spill as she confessed. "Doctor Ken didn't forget those papers and he's right, I didn't have an abortion."

"So what happened to the baby?"

"It... it..." She tried to conjure words but ended up bursting out in tears.

Gabriel's features hardened, obviously having a hard time when it comes to comforting someone with soothing and soft words. But nonetheless, he gently brought her into his arms and patted her back gently.

"I'm sorry Gabe, I...I wanted to tell you all those years ago, even before I left for the united. state, but she made me stay quiet. She threatened me not to speak to you. Please don't be mad at me, Gabe."

"She threatened you? Who did?" Gabriel pulled back and looked at her. When Angelina looked reluctant to answer, he gently shook her. "Answer me Angelina, who threatened you?"

With more tears pouring out her eyes, she finally answered. "Leonica. Leonica did. She convince grandmother that I had been having an affair eight years ago and the baby belonged to another man. One thing...one thing led to another and I.... accidentally miscarried the baby." Angelina sobbed. "She did all that because she loved you, Gabriel, so please, please don't be angry at her." Angry at her? Anger was the least of the emotions he was feeling towards Leonica at this point

in time.

He couldn't understand How she could have been so cruel! Sacrificing the life of a baby all because she wanted to marry him?

Never did he see that coming. He felt more disappointed in her, but more importantly, disappointed in himself for having even allowed the thought of forming a family with

someone like her, cross his mind.

"Gabe. Gabe look at me," Angelina took his face in both her hands. "I'm begging you, if not for me, then for our list child, don't be angry at Leonica. I understand what she felt, loving someone who doesn't love you back, it's a horrible feeling, so please forgive her deeds." She begged... Despite the emotion and anger running through his head, Gabriel calmed himself down for the moment and once again took Angelina in his arms, pulling her face into his chest in a comforting hug.

In the midst of doing that, he missed the way Angelina grinned into his chest, overjoyed that he last minute plan had worked.

Leave it to her to be her own superman!

The two stayed like that for a while longer, the doctor leaving soon, before they pulled apart and Gabriel wiped off whatever remaining tears stained her face.

"I'm sorry," He apologized. "I wasn't strong enough to protect you back then. But I promise it/ will never happen again."

"It wouldn't happen again?" Angelina searches his eyes, her weak and broken mask back on as she asked. "Does that mean I'll get the chance to carry another child of yours?" Her voice softened at the end, a smile making it's way to her lips.

Her expression and state of mind held Gabriel back from saying no at the same time, he also didn't want to turn her request down.

"Let's talk about this when you're in better health, Angelina." He created an excuse, pushing her back to lay on the bed. "Take a rest, I'll be right here." He smiled.

Angelina wanted to protest or at least hit the subject once again, but she had used up most of her strengths on fake crying that she indeed felt tired.

"You're right," She muttered and closed her eyes "Don't leave...okay?"

"I won't leave." Gabriel answered back even though she was already half asleep.

Stroking her hair, he watched her sleep with a peaceful gaze, however his mind was far from peaceful.

Leonica needed to pay for whatever evil she had committed. He couldn't allow her go after what he had learnt today and most of all, he'd never allow Ashely grow up with such an evil woman as his mother.

When he was sure she was fast asleep, Gabriel reached for his phone and scrolled through his contact list before calling someone. The line rang for a few seconds before it was answered.

"Before you speak, I have a proposal for you. What do you say to taking down the new President of Romero Empire?"

Contrary to Leonica's worry, the next few days had gone by without too much problem. Gabriel hadn't even made effort to contact her.

'Probably enjoying his time with his new family. She repeated the thought that once again. left a source taste in her mouth and sighed.

Suddenly, her phone rang, interrupting whatever thought came next. Leonica fetched her phone, answering it after seeing her Assistant's number on the screen.

"Yeah, hello?"

"Ms. Romero, bad news!" Her assistant announced with a voice that quickly put her on edge. The cancellation process of the contract with Bryce Empire was suddenly terminated and Gabriel Bryce sent an official letter to the company. He's challenging you for the spot of Norway's Business president!"
