Hated him with a new growing passion.

When he was the one who asked for the divorce, the one who brought his mistress home regardless of her opinions as his wife, the one who said he'd rather die than marry her, how the hell could he do all that to her last night? In order not to hurt the baby, she dropped all her pride to beg him yet he still cared about his feelings only. And after all this, he stepped out of bed before she could wake up as if nothing happened.

What the hell did he think she was? A free whore at his beck and call? Gabriel Bryce that bastard surely had no heart for her!

Leonica didn't know how long she kept this position until the doorbell rang.

She had planned on ignoring it, but the person on the other end was persistent and rang the bell repeatedly, annoying her. "Who could it be?" She muttered, heading towards the door after dressing up.

As she opened the door, she was greeted by the familiar sight of a young man, Gabriel's

attorney.

"Good afternoon, Mrs." Daniel greeted politely.

Nearly at once, Leonica realized the reason for his sudden visit.

As if to confirm her suspicions, Daniel reached into his brown briefcase and pulled out a stack of papers, offering them to her. "I'm here to deliver the divorce papers."

It felt like her heart had stopped, the world was slowly fading around her, and Leonica was being suffocated by her own emotions.

It took her a while to suppress those stupid feelings and Leonica reached for the papers and took them, forcing a smile on her lips and saying "Thank you, Daniel."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Bryce. And...there was one more thing."

Leonica felt being stabbed hard in her chest the moment she recognized what the pills lying on his palm were.

The oral contraceptive.
