After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

As soon as that thought crossed her mind and she turned the corner, she bumped into someone, immediately activating fight or flight. But even then, she was wise enough not to scream.

"Hey, hey calm down. It's me." A familiar voice said, grabbing both sides of her shoulder and stilling her before she could throw any real tantrum.

Leonica pulled her eyes open at the familiar voice, relief washing over her when she saw Owen in front of her.

"Hey," He flashed her a small smile that could barely be seen in the dim setting, before gently pulling her into a hug

"What are you...doing here?" She questioned after they had pulled back

"Here to save you, isn't it obvious." He whispered, glancing behind her to make sure her attacker hadn't caught up. "You have questions, I know, but I'll explain once were out of here. Your safety is number one right now." He shot her a firm nod which she returned, except hers was albeit sharing.

Taking her hand, he turned around and led them through the way he had come, quietly jogging. Leonica stared at his back all the while, pondering about how ironic it was that he was the one who had called the fire department and helped her when she rushed in to save Gabriel from the burning house. He was still the same person who had shown her the needle, saving Ashley. He even went out of his way to contact a world class doctor to help Gabriel, all for her. And now, here he was, rescuing her from something that didn't concern him whatsoever.

Had the situation not been so bad, Leonica was sure she would have encased the younger male in a hug, a kiss if she wanted to be too much.

Once again, her thoughts were interrupted as Owen's jog came to an abrupt end. She was about to question why he had stopped when her eyes caught sight of the obstacle in front.

Clicking his tongue, Stuart walked out of the shortcut right next to the exit, metal weapon pointed in their direction, "Mr. Lee, don't you know it's rude to gate crash on a party you weren't invited to?"

Leonica tensed up when she saw what Stuart was holding was a gun. Was that the so called ingredient he had gone to get? A gun? That fucking psycho actually had a gun?!

"Now come on Princess, a snarl like that isn't something suited for a face like yours." Stuart taunted and despite behind pulled behind Owen, Leonica did not hesitate to snap at him.

"Fuck you, Stuart.

"Careful there," He warned, flicking the gun between both their bodies. "Because in you and me, I have the gun. And I can use it as please,"

"I don't think it has gotten that far," Owen spoke up, hand steadying at eye level while he cautiously watched Stuart who turned to

glare at him.

"This is between her and me," He paused. "On second thought, you're now part of this; after all, you've seen my face."

"He's not part of this!" Leonica spoke up, ignoring how Owen's grip tightened on her hand in a way to tell her to shut up. "This is all about you and me." She said, taking every word slowly so that Stuart can properly understand.

Her attempt seemed to work as he slowly lowered the gun. Leonica sighed out in relief, which was short lived as Stuart began to laugh, raising the gun back up.

"And who's going to make me pay? You? When you're dead or alive?" He chuckled. "Thad fun taunting you, Princess, but at some point, the joke gets old, and this one is way past its expiry date.
