"It was a dream?" He questioned, his mind still a bit dizzy from the whiskey and sleep.

"Preferably caused by too much whiskey indigestion." Christian chipped, holding up the bottle of said alcoholic drink.

Lloyd sighed and shook his head. He was aware of how Gabriel took things like sleeping pills and sometimes alcohol to put himself to sleep, after all, he suffered from chronic insomnia, but it still was concerning for the young man. "Hey, can't you cut down on the amount of alcohol you take." Lloyd said, his tone sounding stern. "You're gonna kick the bucket younger than any of us if you keep this up." He scolded. "And what's got you down in the dump?" "I'm fine." Gabriel muttered, running a hand through his hair.

However, Christian yet again chipped in. "He's not. Leonica's back in Norway." He informed Lloyd who's eyes went wide.

He cursed inside his mind for having had tremendous work to attend to during the day of the banquet yesterday.

"Short story, they met yesterday, and I guess you can image how it turned out."

"Sore I can predict." Lloyd muttered, sighing afterwards. "Why...what is she even doing back in Norway after all these years?"

At his question, Christian handed him the newspaper he had been reading. The headline, in bold letters, read; Eldest daughter of Romero family, Leonica Romero, returns as Romero Empire's newest president! "No shit." Lloyd gasped, Gabriel on the other hand, groaned and buried his face In the palm of

his hands.

Now it made sense why Romero Empire wanted to cancel their partnership. It was all Leonica's doing.

First of all she cancels their partnership and then springs up news of abortion in him?

No, as a matter of fact, Gabriel didn't believe her words.

He wasn't sure why, but Gabriel felt like Leonica had lied about the baby's fate.

After all, she had seemed a little too confident when she had uttered the words and he could tell, the woman standing on that stage, despite how indifferent she seemed; was not a baby killer.

It was either that, or his soul for some reason, couldn't accept the fact that she was indeed heartless enough to drag an innocent unborn child into their squabble.

Either one, he need to clear his conscience.

"Christian," He called out, cutting through the conversation that had been going on between. him and Lloyd.

"Yes?"

"Leonica's medical records from five years ago, up until now...I don't care how you do it, but bring them to me, today."

-Chapter 19:

"What?" Christian asked, blinking his eyes in confusion.

Had he just heard Gabriel right?

"Leonica's medical records, I want them." Gabriel repeated.

"That..." Christian hesitated. "I don't think that would be possible, Gabriel."

"Why not?" Gabriel questioned, not liking the fact that Christian was hesitant to grant him

his wish.

"Because they are private and that would mean I have to violate her privacy to get that information." Christian reasoned, hoping Gabriel would back off. However, it was a futile attempt.

"Invasion of privacy or not, Christian, I want those records."

Christian's jaws clenched, clearly displeased by his friend's decision. "And what do you hope to achieve by obtaining her medical records? What will this accomplish?"

"The abortion, her medical record will surely contain traces of an abortion."

"What?" Christian nearly chuckled at his response. Not only did he find it funny that his friend cared so much as to carry the matter over night, he found it equally disturbing how Gabriel seemed to have forgotten the fact that he and Leonica we're no longer together. It seems like he needed to remind him.

"Gabe, don't forget, Leonica is no longer your wife, you can't do as you please with her life."

Christian's words had been spoken calmly and logically, yet it irritated Gabriel and angered him at the same time. To top it all off, their dance scene from the previous night replayed in his mind, angering him all the more.

"Since when did you start standing up for her?" He accused, standing from his seat, grey eyes glaring down at his friend.

Christian's jaws clenched at his statement and the way he was looking at him, but he kept his calm and continued speaking. "I'm not siding with anyone here. I am merely pointing out the fact that Leonica is no longer a Bryce, therefore, you can no longer use your privileges to obtain her medical records."

Gabriel snorted, his eyes darkening. "That's bullshit. If that's what you mean then your words and actions aren't matching up."
