After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Gently, they walked towards the door, but just before they could open it, the door was swung open and officers rushed in, guns ready to

take out anyone they considered as a threat. But all that changed when they only saw three wounded people.

"Mr. Bryce? Mr. Lee? The older looking Officer glanced between the two influential figures, stunned to see them here.

"Took you long enough." Gabriel muttered. "Stuart Campbell is over there, take care of him and don't make us do your jobs any further. He instructed. Both officers glanced between themselves before adhering to his instruction.

"Ambulance was brought to the scene just in case," The younger looking office of the two informed. "You can get treated outside." He said and stuck his head outside, whistling for a medical helping hand,

In seconds, a team of medical personnel were in the building, rushing towards Leonica and Gabriel to help carry Owen out. Leonica watched them, relief slowly sipping into her body and as she took her first step out of the house, a single rain drop fell down on her face and many more followed after.

But unlike the other people trying to take shelter, Leonica remained in her spot and raised her head up to the clouds, allowing the beads of rain drop to wet her hair and soon her cloth, with a smile on her lips.

The fear and Dread she had once been feeling before slowly began to dissipate, washed away with the droplets of rain that rained down on her.

Rain of Liberation, she pegged it, chuclding freely at her own thought, because that eerie feeling that had overthrown the happiness she was feeling had finally disappeared

Final Settlement.

The days following the incident with Stuart had turned out more stressful than Leonica could have ever imagined. For one, she had to pay several visit to the prescient, laying complaints, answering questions and undergoing investigations. After that, she had totally her matter with her parents and boy was that not easy.

Despite how much Leonica had tried to reassure her parents, Cassandra to be precise, that she was alright, she wasn't hurt or anything, the older woman still fussed over her. In a way, Leonica understood, seeing as something similar had happened, claiming member of their family. So she decided not to put up much fight, and instead just allow her mother to worry over her.

The other people she had to tally her matter with were Leonardo and Anastasia. Between her parents and them, Leonica wasn't sure which of them had worried more about her.

When Leonardo found out about the entire thing, he was enraged, and although the anger wasn't directed at her, she had still feared it was. And even after he had calmed down, the look in his eyes as he stared at her, still filled her with fear. But at the same time, she could see how much he cared and she genuinely appreciated that.

And then there was the last person whom she had worried about rather than them worrying about her. Owen. Despite all the reassurances he had given her, and all the times he had called her and told her he was alright and that there was no need to worry about him, she still found herself worried.

Because she had seen the way his skin paled. Seen the way his eyelids fluttered as the paramedics rushed him into the ambulance. Seen the way blood pooled beneath his hand staining the white of his hoodie

And every time she thought about the fact that all that had been because of her, worry filled her up, and all she could think about was how he must have suffered.

Which was why, on the third day since the incident, Leonica found herself knocking on his door, fruit basket held tightly within her grasp.
