Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Accident.

Arvan left shortly after his little speech of reassurance, promising to watch after the kids while she stayed back and settled a thing or two with Gabriel.

Chloe was dismissed as he crossed over to the opposite side of the road to chase after the kids, and now that they were alone, Gabriel wasted no time in speaking.

“So this is how you do it?” His gaze remained trained on the direction Arvan had gone and if not for the vague and confusing question he had just spoken, Leonica would also have been staring off in that direction.

“What?” Her brows narrowed in confusion as her eyes found his side profile.

It didn’t take Gabriel long before he peeled his gaze away from the empty spot, shifting his body so that he could face her completely.

“Is that how you got to win your previous project? By using him? His connections?”

“What?” Leonica repeated, even more confused now. However, a mental image of Gabriel’s words, or rather, a mental understanding of Gabriel’s words began to form in her head and she steamed red; not from the embarrassing thought but rather from anger.

Did Gabriel...that bastard, honestly think that the way she had won her previous projects was by sleeping with Arvan? Selling her to him for connection?

A small part of Leonica felt hurt to know that Gabriel thought so low of her, but then again, after recalling all the shit he had said to her five years ago, and how he has treated her, believing that she was nothing but disgrace to his family name and not suited to be with him, and comparing it to now, what he was saying, it was like a simple walk it the park.

Although it stung a bit, she could easy brush it off and move on. Whatever he thought about her no longer mattered, but Arvan on the other hand, she couldn’t stand still and watch someone degrade an acquaintance of hers who has been nothing but good to her.

“Get your heads out of the gutters, Gabriel,” Leonica reprimanded as soon as she was able to pull herself back to reality, clicking her tongue in disbelief at his vulgar thoughts. “Not everyone thinks like you, Arvan certainly. He’s a gentleman, considerate and rather sweet, something that shameless and heartless isn’t something he would do.”

Hearing her words, Gabriel chuckled and shut his eyes, tongue darting out to wet his lips as he calmly nodded. However, despite the expression on his visage, Gabriel was far from calm on the inside.

Hearing Leonica speak so well of Arvan had without a doubt, annoyed him. Not only that, it made his heart squeeze with jealousy, as much as he’d never admit it out loud.

And that irritated him.

Opening his eyes, fixing Leonica once again in his line of vision, Gabriel spat. “Shameless? Heartless? You know that’s classy coming from someone like you who can be as ruthless and heartless to abort an unborn child, both yours and someone else’s, without blinking an eye.”

His words Irritated her as much as it confused her.

Scrunching up her face, she thought for a moment.

She, abort another person’s child? When? How? Who?!

As quickly as she had minded his words, Leonica pushed them aside and stepped forward to address the matter at hand.

Sticking her finger into his chest, she spat. “Call me ruthless, heartless, whatever you wish to, but I did what I did, to survive and I’d do it all over again if time were to rewound itself.”

Gabriel’s heart squeezed at her words, but he did good at keeping his usual stoic expression in place.

Seeing the usual expression that was good enough to deceive anyone, Leonica felt somewhat disappointed that her words hadn’t affected him in anyway...

Wait...was she expecting him to react to those words? Did she want him to feel sad? Despair?

She mentally chuckled at those thoughts, after all, emotions like those were impossible for someone like Gabriel to feel.

He was a cold bastard.

Stepping back, Leonica tucked her hands into her pocket with a sigh. Her aura seemed to have calmed down but she still looked more than ready for a fight.

“I’ll allow today slide because I was at fault for not keeping Ashely in line, but after this, I think it’s best you stop sticking your nose in businesses concerning my son and I and rather focus more on the child Angelina’s about to give birth to for you.”

Gabriel’s eyes narrowed in confusion at her words.

The child Angelina was about to give birth to for him? What was she talking about?

“What are you-?”

Those words had just barely rolled off his tongue when a louder voice over took his.

“Kid, get out of the way!”

The loudness and urgency of the voice caused Leonica and Gabriel to snap their heads in it’s direction, only to see Daisy bending down to reach for her favorite hairpin on the road, unbeknown to the car that was speeding her way.

“Oh my god. Daisy!” Leonica cried out and attempted to rush to save Daisy.

However, she had not taken more than a step when Daisy was suddenly shoved out of the way and things happened in slow motion.

The tire screeching. The loud thudding sound that was made as the car collided with Daisy’s savoir and lastly, the pour of crimson that began to pool on the floor where he laid.

Leonica felt her eyes widen, her breath hitch and her entire world shatter into tiny pieces as she stared at Ashley lay unconscious in a growing pool of his own blood.
