After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Dream or no dream, Cold water soaked Leonica from head to toe. She gasped and tries to raise her young soaked body out of the small pond she had been shoved into, but her hand slipped on a few pebbles and she fell back in.

In front of her, standing tall and proud, was her high school bully and his friends. They cackled amongst themselves, expressions of delight shimmering in their eyes.

Just looking at their faces, Leonica felt her anger boiling "Jamil, I swear to God, I'm going to get you back for this." She threatened, the shrill in her voice exposing her youthful nature.

The ring leader, Jamil, steppes forward and bent down, at least enough to meet her eye level. "You? Get me back?" His taunting words were followed by a loud laugh which reached his bright blue eyes. "Yeah right, Leonica. Even in a thousand years, a freak like you can't do nothing."

Immediately after his words, Jamil received a harsh slap on the back of his head. He yelped in pain and turned around, ready to challenge whoever had hit him, but froze momentarily when he saw the person behind him.

Unlike him, Leonica's face brightened up upon seeing the familiar brunette male. "Mel,"

"What did I warn you about picking on Leonica?" Melvin asked, raising the book, the weapon he had used before, to once again hit the bully on his head.

Jamil quickly cowered, covering his precious face. "We weren't picking on her!"

"We?" Melvin's voice had a questioning to tone to it and it caused Jamil to look around, only to realize that his friends had bailed. "No, it's only you, Jamil. Now," He paused and smiled, but the look in his eyes was far from friendly. "Listen clearly, because the next time 1 catch you, picking her, it would be your last."

And with that, he made a hand movement, gesturing for the bully to run along. After one last glare in Leonica's direction, Jamil did as he was told and Melvin helped Leonica out of the school's pond.

"Can you not go one day without needing my help?" He teased.

Leonica answered with an eye smile, squeezing the water out of her dress. At least what she could squeeze. "No, not at all."

Melvin smiled, but his eyes looked dead, far from his usual jovial personality. "Well that's bad, because one day, I'm not going to be around."

Before she could process his words, the sound of her alarm clock ringing in the distance pulled her out of her dream into the past and she slowly peeled her eyes open to the familiar white of her ceiling.

She blinked once, then an extra time, before questioning why for the third time in a row, she had dreamt that exact ream. From beyond her room door, she could hear Grace and Ashley bustling about as she got up and got ready for another day in her life. Grace and Ashley's conversation became clearer when she stepped out of her room, fully refreshed. "Young master, you need to eat your meal now or else you'd be late for school." Grace tried to reason and seconds later, Ashley zoomed right past Leonica, nearly bumping into her.

She caught him by the collar and pulled him back before he could get too far. "Ash, what have I said about messing around on a school morning?" She questioned, the warning tone clear in her voice.
