Hands balled and jaws clenched tightly, Angelina stood off in a corner, fuming from head to toe as she watched Leonica meander out of the room, hair a mess and fresh hickeys decorating her back and neck, ultimately clarifying that the plan she had spent days crafting, had fallen into the wrong hands.And it was all because of that b*tch called Leonica!She had ruined everything, stolen the opportunity away from her when she had spent thousands on the drug she diluted Gabriel's drink with.She had waited patiently, bought the drug from a friend of hers who *ssured her that one night was all it took for her to get pregnant with Gabriel baby, with thousands of dollars and at the right time, decided to strike, but all because of Stellar dragging her away from a talk, she had lost the opportunity.Slowly advancing from her spot, Angelina moved towards the room Leonica had stepped out from and with much hesitation, peeped into it.Her heart skipped a beat at the sight, for Gabriel was indee

Eye brow knitting at his words, Leonica allowed her brain register the situation for a while before she questioned.“Hospital? Why?”“Supposed stomach ache,” Kennedy answered with the exact words Chloe, Arvan’s *ssistant had told him, all the while watching as his employer stopped in her track, turning around and heading in the direction of the elevator.“What hospital?” She demanded.Kennedy was silent for a while, typing away on his phone before replying. “Midway international hospital.” He informed.Leonica nodded her head, mapping the exact location in her head as she stepped into the elevator once it arrived on her floor. “I’ll leave now, you handle things over here, Kennedy.” She instructed, watching as The *ssistant bowed his head before the lift door closed.When she stepped out of the lift, she rushed towards her car and quickly drove towards the location Kennedy had relayed to her. Arriving at Midway international hospital, Leonica walked up to the reception, knocking her na

It was inaccurate to say Leonica was angry as she walked into the cl*ssroom, eyes trained solely on Gabriel in a deathly glare.A more accurate expression for her, would be fuming, red faced and all, which was the least expression she should have showed. Like, just imagine walking you merry way into your son’s school, intending to pick him up, only to find your devil of a ex husband, petting and playing daddy with him.F*ck no!Stopping shut right in front of the man she had been glaring at, Leonica reached forward and with lightening speed, she pulled Ashely away, pushing him behind her like she was an acting shield.“what the h*ll do you think you’re doing here?” She questioned with a pointed stare, not for one bit, liking the way he remained silent and tilted his head to the side, eyes dropping to the corners of her neck.Unintentionally, she flinched. F*ck those gray eyes of his. They haunted her in her every nightmares and now here he was, standing in front of her and watching he

"Yay Gabriel, Ashley isn't your son." Angelina who was unable to hide her happiness began jumping around, hugging and even kissing Gabriel.But the same couldn't be said for Leonica and Gabriel. Hearing Angelina's words, they both frowned, visibly confused.Ashely...wasn't Gabriel's son?They both simultaneously thought, unconsciously glancing at each other. While they were still caught up in the confusion of their thoughts and the situations outcome in general, Angelina rushed back to the table and snatched the paternity papers.In seconds, she was in front of Gabriel and snapping him out of his daze by showing the paper to him, or more accurately, shoving it in his face as she pointed her index finger at a particular paragraph."Look, look at it Gabe, I'm not kidding." She pointed out in jubilee.And it was just as she had said. Staring at the paper with creased brows, Gabriel felt a sour taste descend into his stomach.It was true, Ashely wasn't his son, or so the papers say, but p

The next few days after her encounter with Gabriel had been blissfully uneventful.Seating in the confines of her parent's outer garden, Leonica gently sipped on the tea Benjamin had just brought back from Malaysia, while watching various beautiful butterflies hover around the flowers.Delightful, couldn't even grace how she was feeling. For the first time in a month and a half since Leonica had returned to Norway, she felt truly at peace.Gently sighing out, Leonica placed the tea cup down and smiled as she caught wind of small feet meandering down her way in a Sprint. It wasn't long before her lower body on the chair was engulfed by Ashely's hug."Mommy," The younger boy called out, tone somewhere between a whine and adoration for his mother."What have I warned you About running, Ash?" His mother asked, scooping him from the ground and into her laps. "Hm?""I...I wasn't running!" He quickly tried to defend.However, the moment those words left his mother, another figure stepped int
