After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel) novel Chapter 24

Shortly after, she stepped out of the car and bade it goodbye. Turning around she began her walk towards the gate of her house, when suddenly there was a grip on her hand followed by a harsh tug and before she could process what happening, she felt a pair of warm lips forcefully pressed on her own. 

It took her a few seconds to process everything. And when the face in front of her eyes cleared, she was surprised beyond words to see Gabriel.

Is He Ash’s Father? 

Leonica sat in the passenger seat hours after having her phone call with Leonardo. Staring a the different and unfamiliar interior of the car, her brain replayed the scrambled memory of her day so far. 

After her call with Leonardo, she had felt panicked, seeing as Gabriel’s men were so suddenly looking into Ashley’s details. Her mind had been so scrambled like an egg, to the point that after leaving the kindergarten and parting ways with Anastasia, while driving, she had not taken notice of the black Chevrolet Vehicle speeding in her direction. 

By the time the blazing horn had snapped her out of her mind, it was too late to avoid the vehicle which had sped her way. An unavoidable collision had happened. 

Stepping out of her car, although not injured, the female had been missed. Put aside the asshole who had obviously ignored the traffic regulations, she was pissed about the dent and destruction made to her vehicle. 

Her favorite car so far! 

“Hey, are you fucking blind?!” she had questioned, storming angrily towards the car, who’s driver door had opened and out came a buff looking man in all black. 

“Ma’am please forgive me.” Instantly he apologized. “I didn’t mean to run into your car.‘ 

“He your 

“Didn’t mean to?” From the back of the car, movement caught Leonica’s eyes. boss?” She asked and without waiting for an answer of sort, stormed towards the back seat. 

Gently, despite her anger, hitting her knuckles against the firm glass, she gestured with her index finger for the man in the back to lower his window. 

Thick, tinted black glass coming down, Leonica was met with a pair of brown lazy eyes staring at her. “I apologize for my driver’s mistake.” He went straight to business, not dragging the matter out any more than it should. 

“If you could be as kind and drop your contact with him, along with the keys, my assistant here,” he gestured towards the woman beside him, who’s head Leonica could only see, “would take care of the repairs.” 

Leonica raised a brow. Although she felt like protesting, getting the male in the back to deliver a solid apologize to her in place of his assistant, she respected his way of going down to business and truthfully, felt drained from what little work she had done at the company before running to Ashely’s aid at the hospital. 

So with the fatigue and her better judgement kicking against her petty side, Leonica sighed and stormed right back to the driver, doing as the man in the back of the car had instructed. 

Retrieving what useful things she needed in her car, she shot a sharp glare at the man in the

back, who in return, lowered his head in an obvious gesture of an apology, before rolling the shades of his car up and the vehicle, which was now being driven by his assistant, rolling away. 

Willingly Left on the road with nothing but her bag, phone and a half of crappy 

runk cup coffee, Leonica sighed and began scrolling through her call log, about to call on one of her body guards to come fetch her, when a red sport car suddenly stopped in front of her, window rolling down. 

“Leo? Leonica, that you?” 

The sound of her name mixed with a familiar voice had the female’s head snapping up at a fast pace. Seeing the person in the driver’s seat, the familiar face of an old and close classmate from college, her eye widened. 

“Derek,” She had breathed out in disbelief. 

“So it is you.” He chuckled, getting out of his car, rounding it and encasing her in a lengthy hug. “God, I’ve missed you.” He said after they had pulled apart. 

Leonica offered him a smile. “Yeah, me too.” 

“I never would’ve thought I’d see you here. Not to mention, after so long.” Derek smiled, hand, the one not holding her shoulder, finding it’s way into his hair.

“What are you doing here?” He asked, referring to the fact that she was just ideally standing by the side of the road. 

“Well,” And with that, she began the explanation of the collision that had happened, the end result of their conversation ending in the male offering to take her somewhere for them to catch up and later ended up driving her back home. 

“…nica…Leonica, are you listening?” Derek’s voice snapped said female out of the string of events that had happened during the day. 

Looking up from the unfamiliar dashboard, she asked. “Sorry what were you saying?” 

Derek sighed. “Anastasia, I asked how she was doing.” 

Nodding her head, she answered. “Good. As a matter of fact, she had been together earlier in the day.” 

Derek hesitated, not wanting to touch the sore topic of years, if not a whole decade ago, but the inch inside him getting the better. 

“Did she…has she talked about me, recently?” 

Leonica could only but thin her lips and sigh at the question. “No Derek. I think she’s moved on, and you should to.” She advised. 

Derek’s face visibly fell. Even though he was aware of such an obvious fact, he still had clung to false hope. 

Is He Ashg Futher 

“Yeah. Yeah I guess I should.” He muttered. 

Leonica smiled softly and opened her arms, wanting to console him as well as thank him for the ride home. “Come on, bring it in.” 

Seeing the familiar gesture, Derek chuckled but nonetheless, went in for the hug, staying for solid, comforting seconds before he pulled back and Leonica gently pecked him on the cheek. 

“Don’t stress yourself. You’re good man, I’m sure you’ll find the right girl soon enough.” She gathered her things in the process of speaking and stepped out of his car. 

“Is that an advice from a relationship expert?” Derek teased. 

Leonica glared at him. 

“Alright, my bad. Well, I guess I’ll see you around?” 

“You can bet.” She smiled and waved him goodbye, watching his red car drive away from the premises of her house before she turned around and began walking towards the gate of her 

house. 

Upon remembering that Ashely would not be home with her, as she had sent him to stay with her parents for the time being, due to the alarming action Gabriel had made, she sighed. 

‘Just for a little while…let’s be alone for a little while.‘ She consoled herself inwardly, a stern reminder etched in the back of her mind that as soon as she’s recovered her company’s shares from Gabriel’s company and kicked him out totally, she could once again to back to her 

peaceful life with Ashely. 

It was better to be safe than sorry, after all, Ashely looked too much like Gabriel. It’s benefit her more if he was with his grandparents for the time being. 

Sighing at the thought, she yelped in surprise when she suddenly felt a strong grip on her hand, pull her away from her house’s gate and before she could react, talk less fight back, she felt a pair of warm, rough lips being pressed to her own, making her eyes go wide in the 

process. 

She struggled against the stranger, but her attempts were futile as the grip on her hands. became firmer, a hand on her waist pressing her close to the male’s body. 

It took her a few seconds, but soon, Leonica recognized the face in front of her, making her eyes widen more than they already had. 

It was Gabriel. 

“Get off me!” Panting hard after she had successfully pushed him off, Leonica wiped her lips in spite, the taste of expensive liquor lingering in her mouth. 

Was he drunk? 

Is He Ashs Father? 

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” She yelled, anger surging within her as memory from her last night with him flashed in her mind. 

Had he…had he mistaken her for Angelina, just like he had done that night? Was that why he suddenly spawned out of nowhere and kisses her? Because he thought she was his devil of a Fiancee?! 

The thought angered Leonica far more than it should and before Gabriel could open his mouth and utter a single word, she had delivered a slap, straight to his left cheek. 

Gabriel, despite all he wanted to say…question, was left speechless, the sound of the slap echoing in his once foggy mind. 

“You asshole,” Leonica spat, voice dripping with venom and fingers tingling from the slap she had jus delivered. 

How dare he mistake her for that bitch! 

How dare he walk over her, intoxicated or not, and try to mess with her head… play on her emotions. Did she look that the toy of a wide she previous had been, to him?! 

“You…you fucking-” Leonica was brimming with anger, waiting for the right moment, obviously when Gabriel would try and lecture on condemn her for her attitude, before she 

could fully lash out. 

Much to her surprise, that moment never came. Rather than focusing on the slap, her anger or behavior, Gabriel focused on something entirely different.
