If that was what was going to happen, then believe it of not, this kid would much rather stay without his father.

And it was more than written on his face with his pouty expression, rendering Gabriel speechless.

Scratch what he had thought earlier. What in God's name was Leonica teaching his son!

A few solid seconds had gone by, Ashely staring pointedly him and Gabriel being speechless, before he had finally gathered his thought and a befitting answer.

Parting his lips to respond, he was instantly silenced as a familiar yet angered voice sounded out from behind him.

"What in God's fucking name do you think you're doing?"

It was inaccurate to say Leonica was angry as she walked into the classroom, eyes trained solely on Gabriel in a deathly glare.

A more accurate expression for her, would be fuming, red faced and all, which was the least. expression she should have showed. Like, just imagine walking you merry way into your son's. school, intending to pick him up, only to find your devil of a ex husband, petting and playing daddy with him.

Fuck no!

Stopping shut right in front of the man she had been glaring at, Leonica reached forward and with lightening speed, she pulled Ashely away, pushing him behind her like she was an acting shield.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here?" She questioned with a pointed stare, not for one bit, liking the way he remained silent and tilted his head to the side, eyes dropping to the corners of her neck Unintentionally, she flinched. Fuck those gray eyes of his. They haunted her in her every nightmares and now here he was, standing in front of her and watching her like she was his freaking prey. This added all the more to her anger.

Firstly, Gabriel had no fucking right to show up at her Son's school and he sure as hell had no right to stare at her like she was his meal.

Swirling around with Ashely still in her hand, Leonica faced Mrs. Harper, addressing her instead as Gabriel had chosen to remain silent.

"What the hell is this man doing here?" She nearly sneered at the teacher, controlling her voice last second, but still not being able to control the venom that rolled in waves off her tongue along with her words.

Mrs. Harper quickly senses the tension between the two, no more words needed to be spoken to enlighten her. However, this little action of their, not intentional, had put her in a tight

corner.

Gabriel was a big contributor as well as shareholder to their school and Leonica, she was one of the most respected parents in the school, despite A just joining less than two months

ago.

It was safe to say that they both equally held important positions in the school, each with its own pros and cons. And, it was also an unspoken role between all, be it in the school or out in the social world, to always take the bigger side. Paterply Luke

But the question here was, which was the bigger side?

Fiddling with her finger like a child- heck, under the gaze of Leonica and Gabriel, she felt like a fucking child - Mrs. Harper managed to gather the words to respond.

"Well, Ms. Romero, you see, the thing is, Mr. Bryce here," She pointed at Gabriel. "He's a contributor and shareholder of our school and as per usual yearly routine, he had been picked to volunteer in today's classroom inspection." Leonica's eyes narrowed at the explanation.
