his lips.

That smile however, flattered the moment he realized that this side of Leonica was only reserved for her son...their son.

Towards him, she was much colder and merely smiled. Her guard was always up and the one time he'd think he was finally going somewhere, she'd kick him back and draw another line, rambling on about words that he didn't even understand. Like today for instance. During their conversation, she had hinted on something that

disturbed him as much as it confused him.

Angelina's pregnancy, as she put it.

But the thing was... Angelina wasn't pregnant.

To his knowledge, at least.

Suddenly feeling a sense of déjà vu, Gabriel's brows creased. What if this was a repeat for five years ago?

He needed to know.

Standing up, his movement was caught by Ashley. "Gabriel, are you leaving?" He asked in a voice tinged with sadness. Hai Dy perate Play

The question was enough to soften the Noirette's heart and he shook his head, walking over to plant a kiss on his head.

"Of course not. I just need to make an important call."

Ashley's shoulders dropped in relief and he gave him a small nod, turning back to his mother who had resumed the conversation, only this time, she was trying her best to convince Ashley that it was indeed the right story, a Disney version. Gabriel took one last glance at them, not missing the way Leonica stole a gaze at him, before

he walked at of the room.

With the door behind him shut and the hallway empty, Gabriel reached into his pocket for his phone, quickly dialing a number and placing it at his ear.

He tapped his foot, waiting for the line to be picked up. It wasn't long before the line did.

"Yes, Sir?" Bills voice sounded from the other end of the line.

"Bill, I need you to do something, immediately."

"Of course sir, what might that be."

Gabriel hesitated, knowing fully well that if he does what he was about to, he had officially broken the truth between he and Angelina because of a simple misunderstanding. But fuck it! He needed to know.

"Run a check on Angelina's medical records."

His Compensation.

Gabriel shook his head. "For now, no."

"Understood." Bill said, bidding His employer goodbye seconds before ending the call.

Now standing alone in the hospital's hallway, Gabriel briefly replayed the entire day's event in his head and sighed. Twenty four hours and a whole Hella lot had happened.

If his life were to be animated into one of those weird My story animated videos that Angelina forced him to watch almost weekly, Gabriel was a hundred percent sure that their viewers would call it a bluff, make believe even.

The thought made him chuckle quietly to himself. However, the sound died amidst the sound of approaching footsteps. Turning his head gently to the side, Gabriel's expression quickly became dark the moment he spotted Arvan walking down the hallway, Daisy tagging along at

his side.
