After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

"Not really, but I'd be grateful if you'd do that. Please?"

"Well, I'd be happy to help, but not without some explanation."

Leonica knew that was bound to happen and she was ready to give an answer. "Well, let's just say I'm working on something that's gonna make the current state of Romero Empire look like a joke once it's out of my hands." "Out of your hands?"

"Don't worry, I'll explain the rest of the details later, once I'm certain of it all."

Arvan was silent for a few seconds. Leonica was certain he was weighing his options, and by the time his next question came, she had been correct.

"What are the chances of this plan of your turning on you?"

Leonica didn't even hesitate. "I don't think it'd ever be that way."

"But it could." Arvan pressed.

"Arvan, have I ever led you wrong? Have I ever been anything but reliable to you?"

"You have always been a trustworthy ally and...a friend."

"Then trust me this once, I can handle this."

She could hear his heavy sigh. "Alright, consider it done. And as a favor from me, please be careful. I'm not sure if I can help you in the future if this blows up." "Thanks, Arvan. You're a lifesaver."

"I know."

When the call ended, Leonica's grin expanded. Everything was going smoothly in the first few hours after her planning, and she was certain that once she put the final phase into action, there'd be nothing that could stop her.

One thing Leonica hadn't put into consideration in her mind, was that once she had signed those papers, she'd automatically be jobless, thus, freeing up schedule on her once packed calendar.

And so, with a whole afternoon free, she decided to take Ashley out shopping after picking him from school.

As expected, Ashley was ecstatic about his mother's sudden appearance. And when Leonica announced their outing, he could barely

contain his excitement.

"How about we get you a few things for your sleep over at daddy's next tomorrow?" Ashley nodded at his mother's words, grinning from ear to ear as they stepped into the shopping district. "Mom, can we go get ice cream too?" He asked, tugging at his mother's hand, causing her to halt and turn around.

"Of course, sweetheart." She ruffled his hair and continued walking.

For the better part of the next hour, Leonica found herself shopping for toys, clothes and the likes for her son. By the time she was done, the bag carrier was filled to the brim, and she had to hire another carrier to carry the rest.

But Ashley still seemed energetic, rushing towards the next shop, however, falling down when he bumped into someone.

"Argh, you insolent pest!" The lady he had bumped into cursed as she picked herself up.

"Ashley!" Leonica was quick to rush to his side and pick him up. "Are you okay?"

Ashley, who had a few bruises here and there, nodded. "I'm fine mommy."

Leonica wasn't so sure about that. But before she could even start her examination, she felt a gaze hard enough to penetrate her skull being directed at her.

Only when she looked up and identified the lady Ashley had bumped into as someone rather unpleasant, Irene Rosewood, did she realize the gaze was meant for her.
