After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Hospital Emergency.

Leonica remembered that day like it was yesterday.

It was spring in Denver, Colorado, a month or so after Ashley had been born and she discharged early. She stood in front of the kitchen island, staring down at the cup of juice lased with insecticide and trying to think of a damn good reason why she shouldn't pick it up and chug the whole fucking thing

Motherhood was a pain and as a child Ashley had not hesitated to express his anger towards her for taking him away from his father. He cried at every given time, even when Leonica tried to sooth him lovingly, the child just didn't want to hear it.

And then her parents, as loving as they were, her mother especially, they had their own bad traits, one of which was when they constantly reminded her that they had warned against her one side unrequited love. At first she had shut up and taken their words, because why not, they were her parents,

they had fucking warned her the very moment she walked to them in on them ten years ago and confessed her feelings for Gabriel to them. But she hadn't listened and now she understood she was paying the price for that. But at some point, she couldn't help but just have snapped at her parents.

"You don't have to rub it in. I was an idiot and I'm paying the price, don't you think what I've suffered is enough already!" She had said charing their last heated argument right before she ended the call and approximately a week later, she went into labor. Her parents had made it for her delivery and in that moment, seeing their faces Made Leonica wonder, was she that much of a horrible person? Was that why Gabriel never loved her? Those thoughts made reality hit all the more. So, then and there, clearly under the influence of postpartum depression, she tried to think of reasons or at least one reason not to chug down the juice.

That's when it came, a voice message from the one person she hadn't talked to in a yea

1-Leonica, hey, it's me, Leonardo. I just wanted to check up on you because mom and dad said you had given birth. I'm so proud of you and really can't wait to meet my nephew. I'll be done with my research in a month? A month, let's try and meet then. Until then, keep safe and give my nephew lots of sweet kisses for me. And oh, don't hesitate to call me if you need something I love you Leo, Bye-]
