After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Irene kicked off her shows as she walked into the dim living room of her newly rented apartment. It was small, tacky with faded walls, busted pipes and The furniture were worn out, stained and torn.

But the apartment was cheap, and considering the current situation she was in, it'd make due and price aside, it was the only place in the entire of Oslo that the landlord had agreed to rent to her. Apparently bad status not only affected her business, but also the willingness

of Landlords to rent out their place to her.

Clearly, they feared being on the Romero family's bad side more than a few hundred thousand bucks.

But that didn't really matter to Irene, after all, she had no plans of staying in this rundown apartment for too long.

Walking into her room, she strolled towards the wardrobe that looked like it could fall apart with a single push from a toddler and pulled it open and turned on the red light she had installed inside.

There was none of her dress or accessory inside, instead, it was occupied by pictures and news letters pinned to the wall by needles, a small map of Oslo, marking a few places in red marker and lastly, pictures.

Jamil's, which was now crossed out with a red marker. Cassandra's was next and after that was Leonica and in the center, the star of her world, was her father Benjamin Romero.

"Daddy." She uttered with a smile. "If only you'd take me in, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble."

But she didn't blame him, after all, it was the fault of his favorite daughter, Leonica and that slut Cassandra. They were the ones manipulating and messing with his head.

But soon, she's get rid of them, just like how she had gotten rid of Jamil who looked down on and once they're gone, she'd finally be able to live the life she's always wanted, and deserved.

"Just wait, Daddy." She spoke, her eyes fixated on the pictures of Cassandra. "I'll soon get rid of these pest, then you'd see how much you need me."

After an unexpected tour to the aquarium, suggested strongly by Ashley, Owen successfully pulled into the drive way of Leonica's place.

The three had been out all day, spending some quality time together, which was something Leonica had really needed.

And as a result, the stress she had previously carried had disappeared and was replaced by a smile, bright and warm, and Owen couldn't be more happy to see that.

"Did you enjoy today?" He asked, turning his gaze away from the rear view mirror towards Leonica.

She nodded. "I did, thank you."

Owen smiled more when she took his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze to emphasize her words.

"Are we home yet?" Ashley called from the back seat, rubbing his eyes as he woke up from his sleep.

"Yes sweetie," She turned around, leaning her body to the backseat to help Ashley undo his seat belt. "We're home."

"Finally," The child muttered, yawning.

Owen laughed and helped him out of the car, taking him in his arms. Leonica, after locking the car, followed the two in.

As soon as Grace saw them, she walked up to Leonica. "The young master must have had an exciting day." Gently, she took Ashley from Owen, stating that she's put him to sleep.

Owen was reluctant to let him go, but eventually did. "Goodnight buddy." He kissed Ashley on the head, waving as the child managed to mutter goodbye.
