Seeing the usual expression that was good enough to deceive anyone, Leonica felt somewhat disappointed that her words hadn't affected him in anyway... Wait... was she expecting him to react to those words? Did she want him to feel sad? Despair?

She mentally chuckled at those thoughts, after all, emotions like those were impossible for someone like Gabriel to feel.

He was a cold bastard.

Stepping back, Leonica tucked her hands into her pocket with a sigh. Her aura seemed to have calmed down but she still looked more than ready for a fight.

"I'll allow today slide because I was at fault for not keeping Ashely in line, but after this, I think it's best you stop sticking your nose in businesses concerning my son and I and rather focus more on the child Angelina's about to give birth to for you." Gabriel's eyes narrowed in confusion at her words.

The child Angelina was about to give birth to for him? What was she talking about?

""What are you-?"

Those words had just barely rolled off his tongue when a louder voice over took his.

"Kid, get out of the way!"

The loudness and urgency of the voice caused Leonica and Gabriel to snap their heads in it's direction, only to see Daisy bending down to reach for her favorite hairpin on the road, unbeknown to the car that was speeding her way

"Oh my god. Daisy!" Leonica cried out and attempted to rush to save Daisy.

However, she had not taken more than a step when Daisy was suddenly shoved out of the way and things happened in slow motion.

The tire screeching. The loud thudding sound that was made as the car collided with Daisy's savoir and lastly, the pour of crimson that began to pool on the floor where he laid.

Leonica felt her eyes widen, her breath hitch and her entire world shatter into tiny pieces as she stared at Ashley lay unconscious in a growing pool of his own blood.

Enough is Enough

Enough Is Enough!

All at once, different thoughts filled Leonica's head, her eyes clouding with tears at the scene while her legs threatened to give out from beneath her.

But she didn't give in to their urges, instead, she took shaky steps towards her unconscious son. Dulling out Daisy's cries for her friend and Arvan's voice saying incoherent words, she gently sank to her kneels, careful not to shake Ashely's body too much as she cradled him.
