After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

There was a knock on Gabriel's office door, momentarily distracting him from the paperwork on his table.

"Enter," He called. The door was pushed open and Billy, poked his head through the crack.

"Sir, sorry for the interruption, but I've got something urgent for you."

Gabriel glanced at the papers in his hands, before nodding. "Come in."

Billy did just that and shut the door behind him. Walking towards the male's desk, he placed a white envelope on the table.

"A while ago you asked me to look Into the individual whom had been digging into the Romero family's past," He stopped, waiting for his boss's reaction before continuing.

Gabriel, picked the envelope and opened it, pulling out the contents and his brows arched the moment his eyes landed on the picture in his hand.

"Who is he?" He asked, looking up at Billy.

"His name is Jamil Vanadas," Billy explained. "He's the current CEO of Herox Media and owns several branches and subsidiaries in the Middle East of Mexico and further investigation showed that he and Ms. Romero were quite...close in high school." Gabriel narrowed his eyes. "Close? As in best friends?"

Hesitantly, Billy shook his head. "Not exactly, but they were more than just friends, they were...well, lovers."

"Lovers?" Gabriel asked calmly, but the look in his eyes was anything but calm.

"Yes. And," The assistant quickly scrambled to change the subject before the air became any more tense. "It is suspected that Mr. Jamil is the mastermind behind the recent events."

"How is that?" Gabriel questioned, finally tearing his eyes off the photo in his hand and looking at Billy.

"Like I said earlier, Herox Media owns many subsidiaries, which includes media, a few of the news articles published recently, were all published under IP addresses linked to the company."

"Hmm," Gabriel hummed as he placed the papers down. "Good job Billy. Please tell me when you have more information."

"Of course sir," The man bowed, but before he could leave the office, Gabriel asked.

"And Doctor Bailey? Have you been keeping an eye on him?"

"Of course, Sir, I've kept an eye on him as you requested."

"Good. Be sure to inform me if he tries to reach across to Leonica."

Billy hesitated in answering. He for one, wasn't a huge fan of keeping tabs on strangers phone calls, but at this point, with Gabriel's recently weirdly developed attitude, it was clear to him that his obedience was the only thing keeping his job intact. One wrong move and he could say goodbye to his cushy job and hello unemployment.

So he simply nodded his head.

"Yes sir."

Even though Leonica had been aware that something of sort was going to happen, she found handling the press's constant interview invites, media's unrelenting probing in her life and everyday watchful eyes, more annoying than she had thought. If anything, she could tell her father was having it the worst, not knowing how much his family and family name would be affected after this whole thing was over.
