He sighed once more, not spitting out those words, instead he opted for something less harmful.
"A couple of Russian investors just flew in and I have to attend to them. Personally." He added the last part before she could even suggest him sending Bill in his stead. "Look, I know you.... we planned this, but I won't be able to make it, not today." "But," Angelina was about to protest, but unfortunately for her, Gabriel had glanced at his watch and realized that it was just about the time when Ashely woke up and he had to return
fast.
"I'm sorry Ange. I have to go, let's talk when I'm less busy. Bye..." Without saying any more words, even the most obvious one he always said when ending his call, Gabriel hung up and stopped himself before he sighed once again. "I love you, huh?" He muttered, recalling Christian's words.
Those same words that have now left his mind a scrambled mine field. One second he's sure that the person he loves is Angelina and then the next, he begins to question whether it's
Leonica.
Sure, he felt some sense of attraction towards the former and that aside, he also had a promise to fulfill, one that he had made the moment he woke up and found out that she had saved his life.
That had been the one thing that had kept him running with her and before he knew it, that thing, developed into romance.
But even at that, there was no denying it, the attraction he felt with and towards Leonica, ever since she came back to Norway, far surpassed that of any attraction which he has felt towards Angelina for the past eight years. And that left him feeling confused.
Lloyd and Christian's words were no helpers so far.
Sighing before he could prevent it, Gabriel reached into his pocket and pulled his phone out once more when he felt it vibrate.
Clicking it on, his brows narrowed when he saw it was a message from Bill. He quickly accessed it, his expression becoming puzzled upon seeing that the message rather than written words and letters, was a simple picture of...a paternity test?
Clicking the picture open and waiting a few seconds for it to load, Gabriel's brows first shot up and then dipped in confusion the moment he read the results.
It was the very same paternity test he had applied for, yet the results of this one stated that Gabriel was Ashely's biological father.
"What the hell..." He muttered, brain swirling in confusion.
If this was the real results, then without a doubt, Leonica had indeed tampered with the result he had gotten.
But the main question was, how?
"Ahh! If I knew this would have happened I would have canceled that fucking business meeting!" Gripping the roots of her hair, Anastasia ruminates over and over again.
She had been on a business trip in Miami Florida, trying to secure cooperation with a Alvira Winchester, when she got the call that Ashely had been involved in an accident. Quickly, she took off with her private jet, that mind you, she barely used. And in under five hours, she had touched ground and zoomed off to the hospital.
So here she was, pulling on the roots of her hair and blaming herself for the accident of her Godson that she had no power to prevent.
Leonica had only entertained her friend's rambling for a while before she spoke up. "It wasn't your fault, Anastasia." She sighed tiredly and lowered her head. "It was mine."
"Now hold up!" Her confession, or better yet, words of self-reproach, caused a sudden out burst from Anastasia. "Your fault? Don't do that, Leo, don't go blaming yourself." Standing up from her chair, she joined the white-ette on the comfortable loveseat. "How were you supposed to know that Ashely would end up in this situation. This isn't your fault so don't start that." She comforted, laying a hand on her friends back
Much to her surprise, Leonica shrugged her hand off and rose to her feet as if the chair had suddenly become lava.
"But you see, it is!" she protested, pulling out her phone to replace the video Arvan had sent. her. "That crash wasn't an accident." She added as soon as Anastasia was equipped with enough knowledge to understand where she was coming from. And with that knowledge, she was livid. Who the fuck dare hurt her Godson, on purpose! No that aside, who the fuck dare to target her best friend?!
