After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel) novel Chapter 131

“Stuart Campbell?” He muttered, recognizing the man he had seen when he sent private investigators to C&D. But just to be sure, he asked. “Who’s that? 

“Oh, that’s Mr. Stuart Reeds. He works with the financial sector.” The receptionist commented. 

“Reeds.” He repeated. “Play the footage.” 

The feed started and Owen watched carefully, his heart racing when he saw Leonica walking into the Hall. 

She was had been there and she followed him. 

But why? 

“Pause.” He pointed at the screen the moment Leonica turned the corner leading to where he assumed was the storage room. 

“Mr. Lee, I don’t think this is-” 

“Shut the fuck up.” Owen hissed, “Do as I say or I’ll smash your damn face.” 

The guard whimpered and played the footage again. 

He watched Leonica turn the corner, walk towards the storage room and enter and after not Stuart, not her. 

and after that, everything went silent. No one came ou

“shit” Owen hissed and turned his back to the screen. 

Leonica was in there with Stuart 

Shit. Shit. Shit! With the curse word playing over in his head like a mantra, he rushed in the direction of the Storage r Disappointment and dread washing over him when he got there and it was empty. 

“Mr. Lee?” The receptionist called out from behind him, trying to catch her breath. 

Owen spun around, pointing his finger at the receptionist. “You, call the cops.” 

“Wha 

“Do as I say or God help you.” 

“Mr. Lee, what’s going on?” 

“You ask too many questions.” He hissed, “Call the fucking cops now.

room. 

As the receptionist rushed off, the lat guard from before rushed into the room. “Mr. Lee, I.. I saw something in the parking lot through the CCTV, you should probably come see it ” 

Owen nodded and followed the man back into the security room, watching the video the man had played and his eyes widening. 

The image displayed was the back entrance of the building, a gate leading directly to a back alley. 

It was a clear view and showed a black van, a woman being dragged out and thrown in the back. 

A woman, who Owen was s familiar with, Leonica. 

His heart raced and the nagging feeling turned into dread, tear and worry. 

She was taken 

Escape Gone Wrong. 

“So what you mean to tell me is that Ms. Leonica Romero was kidnapped by the CEO of C&D industries?” The man with a mustache, cloaked from head to toe in Norway’s original police uniform, asked Owen as they stood in the security office. 

Owen narrowed his eyes, looking weirdly at the man in front of him. Had he honestly just asked that question after watching the footage he was just shown? 

“Yes.” Owen muttered, biting his lower lip in order to not lose his patience with the man. “Are you not going to do anything?” 

The mustached officer looked at his partner. They both shared a look before he placed his hand on his waist holder. 

“Sir, I’m sorry to have to inform you that, but there’s nothing we can do.” He said and Owen’s brows twitched. 

“Excuse me?” He said, a sharp edge to his tone 

“An official report has to be made and an investigation opened and only then will we be allowed to move forward. Until then, the most we can do is send a team to look for her.” 

“So what? Leonica’s gonna remain with that Psycho until then?” Owen asked, glancing between the two of them. 

“Sir, calm down. The process is simple and quick. As soon as the report has been submitted, we’ll get a team to investigate 

immediately. So just please wait for a while.” 

Owen scoffed, glaring at the two of them. “You’re both useless. No, in fact the entire prescient is useless. Why did I even bother calling? 

He muttered.

The officers heard and were about to question when the voice of a third party interrupted them. 

“What’s going on here?” 

They all turned towards the door to see Gabriel standing there, brows knitted together in confusion. 

The receptionist squeezed out from behind him, looking somewhat sheepish 

“Mr. Bryce requested an audience with Ms. Romero. He saw the police cars outside…” She said, letting the rest of her words trail off, although Owen knew what they were. 

“Where’s Leonica?” The sound of his voice once again had all eyes on him. 

“Mr. Bryce, good morning.” The officers greeted. 

“Hello” He replied, before his gaze landed on Owen, a glare present “And what are you doing here?” 

“That’s none of your business.” Owen responded sharply and turned back to the security guard, muttering a few things to him which Gabriel did not pay attention to as he turned to question the officers. 

“What’s going on here?” 

“Ah, well Mr. Lee here, claims that Ms. Romero has been kidnapped.” 

Gabriel’s expression crumbled. “Kidnapped?” 

“Yes. Although, we cannot do anything until a proper investigation has been launched.” 

“A proper investigation?” Gabriel muttered, his gaze narrowing. 

“Yes. 

Their answer truly confused Gabriel. While he stood there, Owen Grabbed a pen and paper, scribbled something down and walked past him, bumping shoulder with him purposely. 

“You’re gonna die waiting for them if you chosen to let them handle this.” He muttered and left, Gabriel following after him. 

“What do you mean by that?” 

“It means exactly what it sounds like.” Owen spat, walking taster in an attempt to get rid of the other male. 

“Stop.” 

Owen ignored him and walked even faster. 

“I said stop!” Gabriel commanded, this time reaching out and grabbing him by the shoulder. 

“Get off.” Owen muttered, shaking his arm off. “I don’t have time for you.” 

“Then make time.” 

Owen’s glare darkened and his fist clenched tightly. “Do you not know how to read the situation? Leonica’s in danger and standing here, trying to start shit?” 

“I’m worried about her, alright?” Gabriel retorted. 

“Yeah, well it doesn’t look like it.” He said and turned around walking off. 

“Where are you going?” He called out. 

“To save her from that Campbell Bastard.” Owen called back. 

Campbell? Gabriel thought, narrowing his eyes. As in Stuart Campbell?

Leonica sat quietly in the dark, damp room, her gaze fixed on the door, a glare present. 

The corners around her wrist where she had been struggling for minutes, has become red and stung painfully. 

Yet the pain was not enough to make her give up. 

She was going to get out of here and when she does, she plans to make that bastard pay for harming her son. 

“Fucker!” She hissed under her breath, pulling hard on the rope and hissing out loud in pain.
