After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant-Chapter 35 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!"
