After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Underestimating Her...

Leaning her head against the wall, Leonica stared up at the ceiling, counting the minutes in her head. It had been approximately an hour since she got here and there was still no sign of Chief Robert.

She sighed. Perhaps she shouldn't have put her safety in his hands. She wasn't even sure how smart he was, she had simply trusted him.

"You're regretting it, aren't you?" Her mother's voice had her glancing her way.

"What?"

"Coming here?" Cassandra clarified as she sat beside her daughter.

Leonica shook her head. "I regret nothing." She smiled and pulled her mother closer. "We're going to get out of this, and we're going to bring her down. I promise."

Cassandra nodded and hugged her daughter, a soft smile gracing her lips. If her daughter wasn't willing to regret, neither would she.

"I hope the police find us soon." She sighed. "I hope your father finds us soon." She added.

Leonica chuckled. "They will."

Her mother mirrored her smile, taking her finger which had her engagement ring on it and fiddling with it. "If...no, once we get out of this, let's go pick a wedding dress for you." Leonica laughed, a genuine one. "Mother, isn't it too early for that? Owen just proposed."

"Your father and I didn't even love ourselves when we got married, yet look how we turned out; happy with wonderful children such as yourself and your siblings." She sighed. "I know Owen is a great man, so I want to make sure that you two have a proper wedding. I'll do anything to ensure that." Leonica hugged her mother closer. "Thank you mother, I really appreciate it."

The sound of the door opening caught both their attention and Leonica quickly shielded her mother with her body as the footsteps became louder.

"Well, well, well, the mother daughter duo is enjoying themselves, aren't they?" Irene haunted as she walked in, the man from earlier walking behind her. She stopped in front of her captives and eyed Leonica mostly. "Time's up."

Turning to the guy behind her, she gestured for him to get Leonica and he wasted no time approaching her. "Get away from my daughter." Cassandra hissed, her hands wrapping protectively around her daughter. Irene sneered. "Shut up you stupid whore. All this is happening because you existed in the first place." "Stick to one thing, Irene," Leonica couldn't help but roll her eyes as the man yanked her up by the arm. "What?" Irene questioned, eyes twitching at how nonchalant her younger half sister seemed.

"Well, at first you said this happened because I came into the picture and then you said it was because of my mother and I and now, you're blaming my mother. You're contradicting yourself." Leonica chuckled, watching the color on Irene's face turn red. "You little bitch, I'll-"

"You'll do what?" Leonica interrupted her, the calm expression on her face vanishing and replaced with a blank look. "You want to harm us, right?" She scoffed. "Just because you succeeded in killing Jamil doesn't mean you're a mastermind killer, Irene." "You bitch." Irene mused.

"Leonica, what are you doing?" Cassandra whispered to her daughter, worry evident in her tone. She couldn't understand why Leonica was provoking her, especially after the stunt she had just pulled. "What? I'm just saying the truth. If it pisses you off so much, take it up with me."

Irene was livid, she was practically steaming from the ears and her henchman could sense her agitation, which was why he tightened his grip around Leonica's arm, causing her to wince.

But she didn't back down. "Why are really doing this? It's obvious that you don't like my mother and I, but what do wish to gain from getting rid of us?" "Everything," Came Irene's answer. "I'll gain back the life you both stole and my father's love. With you no longer around, I'll be his favorite daughter." "And if your plan fails? What are you going to do then?" Leonica asked.

"I guess we'd never know." Irene answered, chuckling devilishly as she turned to the henchman. "Take her out."

"No!" Cassandra screamed as she stood up. "Let my daughter go, I beg of you."

Irene didn't spare her a glance as the henchman began dragging Leonica away, she only looking back to offer her mother a reassuring look, that everything was going to be okay. She was dragged out the door and into a room that had no furniture at all.
