After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel)
Chapter 72

"What do you want?" Leonica went straight to the point, but aside whatever act of pleasant greeting the snake wanted to do.

Seeing this and sensing the amount of hostility radiating off the older female, Angelina's smile flattened without another second to spare. "Straight to business, I see," She moused. "Well, who am I to delay then."

Leaning forward, hands resting on the table as some kind of pillar support, Angelina trained her gaze on Leonica and asked. "Say, how would you like to know what I said to Gabriel five years ago that made him ask for a divorce, hm?" 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.

Shaking her head, she answered. "No, I don't."

Angelina's smile Laded in an instant. Ye another response she had not planned for. "What?"

"I said no. I'm done living in the past Angelina. And you should do the same."

Immediately after her words, Angelina barked a loud laugh. "Hall Look at the hypocrite talk." "Pardon?"

***Done living in the past,' you say? If you were so sure, then why did you keep Ashley? Isn't he a part of the past you'd wish to forget?" "What?" Leonica asked once more, this time however, with a tinge of irritancy in her webce. Angelina flashed a crocked smile at this and probed on. "You heard me. That child of yours, he's a past mistake, isn't he? So why keep him? Why not spare all of us the trouble and.." She snapped her finger.

Get rid of him-

"Angelina!" Leonica slammed her palm against the table, the loud noise instantly shutting the chattering female up. Thankfully there was no one other than the servers present to witness the situation. "Watch your tongue," She warmed "After all, just like me, you too are about to become a mother. You wouldn't want any harm to befall your little one, now, would you?"

"What?" It was Angelina's turn to become somewhat speechless.

But unlike her, Leonica derived no joy from that. Her main joy was from seeing Gabriel crumble, that was far more satisfying than any expression Angelina could make. Clearing her thoughts with a sigh, she spoke "I have no goal to destroy whatever it is you have going on with Gabriel. Right now, all I care about is my

"There you go again, being one of the world's biggest fucking llars." Angelina hissed. "Same storyline, same wordings, I've seen bitches like you. Dealt with them."

Leonica shook her head. "You're crazy.

"I'm crazy? Ha, says the woman who can lie as if she's merrily taking a sip from her usual morning coffee." Leonica could only roll her eyes at Angelica's words.

There she went again, being extra dramatic towards a situation she was entirely creating in her head

Woman really needed to be checked into a mental asylum

"If you truly did care about only your son, then why did you come back here? And not to mention your scheme of trying to have another child with Gabriel in other to save that son of yours."

Her words shocked Leonica, for two reasons mainly. Firstly, her outrageous accusation that Leonica would have rolled her eyes at, if not for the second

reason.

How did Angelina know of Doctor Bailey's suggestion?

"Firstly, how do you know that? And secondly, its artificial insemination. We're doing Artificial insemination." Leonica tried to explain.

Yeah, like that was going to help Angelina's jealousy. The fact still stood, Leonice was about to bear yet another of Gabriel's child, yet she couldn't even

bear one

"You know what?" Standing up, she flashed the brunette an insincere smile. "You're crazy y and I'm done here." She said and was about to walk away when Angelina stood up, blocking her path "Get out of my way" "she demanded.

*Not yet. I just need you to answer one last question." Reaching forward, she suddenly grabbed Leonica's hand and pulled her closer. "Who do you think Gabriel would choose if he were to walk right through that door and witness your cruelty in action?" she asked in a tene barely above whisper. Before Leonica had the chance to mole over her words, the bell at the top of the restaurant's door jingled and in walked Gabriel.

And at that moment, the moment he looked their way, Angelina's words clicked together in Leonica's brain.

"Checkmate, Leonica." Angelina whispered, her smile fading as she pulled Leonica closer and in one swift movement, pushed herself to the floor With a dull thud, her body landed on the floor, followed by her cry of pain.

Play

Ruined Herself.

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 walling 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 bloe spring gown Gabriel soon spotted the red pool, and just like Leonica, his eyes grew wide. But unlike her, he did not remain in one spot. Quickly, he stepped forward and without caring for the fine material of his shit, scooped Angelina up into his arms.

"Ah..Gabe..riel, it hurts." Angelina sobbed.

"I know. I know, just bear with me. We're going to the hospital now," "He hushed, pushing past Leonica before she even had the chance to explain the

situation to him

Standing still, she watched from the glass windows as Gabriel rushed towards his car, placed Angelina in the back seat, rounded it, entered the driver's seat and then finally drove off

Once his car was out of sight, she sighed. "That crazy bitch did it again." She muttered.

Glancing back at where Angelina had fallen, crimson pool gathering, Leonica contemplated her next move. Going home was a rather nice option. She could go back and cuddle with Ashley for the rest of the day... and ultimately fall into Angelina's trap, or, she could go to the hospital and play the kind soul Angelina would not have expected; somewhat evading her plans but also standing a chance to face Gabriel's anger,

A few seconds of thinking went by before Leonica clicked her tongue to the top of her mouth, and the decision was made,

Going to the hospital was the best option. Not mainly because she wanted to avoid Angelina's trap, but because, pathetic as it may sound, she wanted to make sure the child Angelina was carrying was okay after a fall like that.

Throughout the drive to the nearest hospital, as she had suspected, was filled with Leonica tightening her grip on the steering wheel, a habit she did pach time she was either tensed or worried over something, And right now, it was both.

Pulling into the parking lot of the hospital, she rushed out of her car and into the hospital. The receptionist at the counter was too busy, sorting a couple of Illes to notice her approaching, so when she unintentionally slammed her palms against the marble countertop, the poor female flinched in fright.

"I'm looking for Gabriel Bryce." Leonica announced "Did he happen to check into this hospital a couple of minutes ago?"

The receptionist held a finger up, while her other hand tinkered away on the keyboard and after a few seconds, a minute at tops, she announced. "Ah, yes. Yes, he did"

When her sentence ended there, Leonica shot her a raised brow. "Where is he?"

"Oh," Tinkering with the keyboard for a few seconds more, she informed. "The lady he rushed in with was just rashed into the second ER, west wing of the hospital." Muttering a barely audible thank you, Leonica took off in that direction, internally thanking her stars that she had gotten the hospital right

As she approached the ER, she began to hear voices which brought her footsteps to a slowing halt.

the situation, isn't really the best. And there's only one way to save Ms. Fernandez." An unfamiliar voice spoke. Leonica guessed that it belonged to
