After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

"Stupid or brave, Leonica, none of that matters." He began, turning his weight towards her. "What does matter is the fact that whoever did this could be a threat to you. Have you had any altercation with anyone recently?" Leonica paused, her lips parting. Had she? Not that she could think of. The last one was with Angelina and since the news had gone out, she was sure that she hadn't bumped shoulders with any other person. "Not that I can recall." She replied.

Leonardo looked down, thinking

"And Gabriel? Could it be possible that someone was targeting you and Ashley in his stead?"

At his question, Leonica actually took a solid minute to think back. Suddenly, she recalled the accident with Ashley, the video tape. Arvan had sent and how she found out that it was obviously a planned hit. Her brows furrowed. Could these two be connected?

"What is it?" Leonardo asked after noticing the change in her expression.

She looked up, opened her mouth with clear intentions of letting her brother in on what she had discovered about Ashley's accident and how this may be related, but then quickly shut her mouth.

He was already a busy man, having his hands full, not just with her problem, but also with the business. She didn't need to add this burden to his shoulders as well.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." She forced a smile onto her lips and Leonardo stared at her, not convinced, but be decided not to push.

If Leonica was keeping something from him, then it had to be a matter of grave importance and if it were anything else, he would have been informed.

"I'm calling the police." He announced and pulled out his phone while Leonica silently nodded her head, not having anything against the police. Perhaps a little investigation could help.

A few minutes later, the police arrived, asking questions, taking pictures, and writing reports.

Leonica didn't know when, or how, but before she could even realize it, the sun had set and the moon was high up in the sky.

When the police finally left, Leonardo gave Leonica a firm warning about staying alert and if she saw anything suspicious, to inform him first, not the police.

With a reassuring nod, she gave him one last hug and shooed him off.

Now, left alone, standing outside her house with the moonlight as her only source of light, the words written on the gate seemed to stand out more, taunting her as her lips pressed together and her jaw clenched It could have been anyone, someone who knew her, someone who knew Gabriel

There was a long list of suspects, yet at the same time, it was short. From the writing, PRICEY SLUT, it was clear that the culprit or culprits was female

She knew it wasn't going to be easy to find the culprit, but what really bugged her was the fact that whoever did this, had taken out the

cameras.

"Mommy, you don't have to come with me, you know."

Leonica turned her head, pausing midway in shutting the blinds that allowed moonlight into the halls way between hers and Ashley's room, her eyes met the ones of her son, who had spoken to her.

She sighed, looking at him from the corner of her eye and smiled.
