After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Leonica had left.

Gabriel felt a tingle in his chest and against his will, his lips turned downwards.

Leave? How could she just up and leave when she might be carrying his child! His heir!

Gabriel refused to accept that.

Exiting the room, he rushed down the stairs, intending to head for his car and drive to the one place he knew she would be, her parents Villa, when a shiny object on the center table caught his attention.

He walked over and picked it up, a bitter taste suddenly flooding his mouth as soon as he recognized the object.

It was the wedding ring grandmother had made him pick out for Leonica three years ago.

And beneath it was the black card he had given her to cover all her expenditures.

She had left them both behind and also signed the divorce documents quietly, it was clear to Gabriel what this message meant.

She has accepted their fate of becoming strangers.

Exactly what he had been pushing for the past few days...however, after learning that she might be pregnant...

Gabriel sighed out loud and undid his tie with one hand while the other gripped firmly on the wedding ring and black card.

He didn't like the way things were quickly spiraling out of his control and needed to fix it this. instance!

Dipping his hand into his pocket, Gabriel fished out his phone and in less than a minute, he had scrolled through his contact list and dialed Cassandra's number.

He waited for what seemed like an eternity, before the line was finally answered.

"Gabriel, what a pleasant surprise." Cassandra's voice dripped with sarcasms and he could almost image the elderly woman scowling. "Why are you calling?" she asked. "1-" Gabriel began.
