Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Too Busy For Romance.

"Gone, all of it." Placing the batch of information he had gathered over the past few hours on the table, Bill stepped back, giving his employer enough room to survey the different papers sprawled across his table.

Footage details, Missing medical records, tampered medical documents, you name it. And each piece of paper in front of him, seemed to confuse Gabriel. Firstly, the security footage from Stellar’s birthday party. It was gone, deleted obviously from the looks of it. And then moving on to the missing medical records, Angelina’s medical records to be precises. Just around the time Gabriel had called Bill with the situation of the security footage, the assistant had been wrapping up his work at the central hospital, trying to get Angelina’s records like his boss had requested. However, just like with the CCTV footage, he ended up with nothing other than a blank slate. The medical records had disappeared like they never existed in the first place.

And then lastly, the evidence that each of this things had been tampered with. Bill Anderson may look like a normal assistant, but he had skills far surpassing normal. And with those skills, he was able to prove that each and everyone of their mystery target details had been tampered with.

But it’s not like Gabriel needed a soothsayer to know that. Everything, as vague as they seemed in the beginning was now becoming rather clear to him. The women around him, Leonica and even Angelina, weren’t as honest as they looked.

Sighing, he placed down the current file he was reading through and ran a hand through his hair. "I don’t know if I’m more upset that someone has managed to hack the hospital or that Angelina isn’t as innocent as I thought." He said, glancing at his assistant.

Bill gave him a weak smile. Not wanting to say more wards that would upset his employer. "What should we do, Sir?"

Gabriel was quiet for a while, staring at the files on his table. A part of him, a very big part, was confused.

Supposedly, he’s meant to be Norway’s biggest shot, yet the two women in his life always found a way to play around him. He was beginning to think he was a toy.

However, that thought didn’t linger long, because the next second, the sound of his phone ringing cut through his darkening mind.

Reaching for the device, his brows knitted together when he saw the caller was Leonica. One of the very same woman he had just been ruminating about.

A few seconds pasted before he answered the call with a sigh. "What is it?"

The voice that spoke wasn’t the one he had been expecting. "Daddy?" Ashley’s tiny voice called.

Pulling the phone back, Gabriel confirmed that it was indeed Leonica’s number calling. "Ash, is that you?"

"Yes daddy." The young child answered excitedly. "Mommy allowed me use her phone." He added the last part, answering the question that had momentarily taken over Gabriel’s thoughts. "How are you daddy?"

Gabriel sighed at the question and allowed his body lean into the comfort of his chair. Hearing Ashley’s voice had put his thoughts so much at ease. "I’m fine Ash." He answered. From beside him, Bill bowed his head, excusing himself as Gabriel got comfortable in his call with Ashley.

"What about you, how are you holding up?"

"I’m fine, really fine." The child chirped. From the other end, Gabriel could hear the strings in his bed creak, indicating that the child had been jumping up and down. Leonica’s voice followed after, lecturing him on how to and how not to move with his wounds.

Gabriel found himself chuckling softly at the background sound.

"Daddy, should I tell you something great?"

Nodding to himself even though his son couldn’t see him, Gabriel responded. "Yes, go ahead."

"My...my birthday is coming up, like real soon. And...and mommy agreed to throw me a birthday party!" He excitedly announced. "And this time... daddy’s going to be with me. I’m gonna be celebrating my birthday with my daddy!"

Gabriel felt his chest warm at his son’s enthusiasm. Hearing him so happy over a simple birthday party spent with him was a perfect cure for his crazy day.

"Yes Ashley, I’m going be present. Now tell me...tell daddy, what do you want for your birthday?"

On the other side, Ashley placed his finger on his chin, raising his head up as he thought about the various presents he wanted. During his past birthdays his mother has never failed to buy him the latest toys and techs, so what did he truly want?

The question, as small as it had been, sent Ashley into a silent mood for a few minutes. Minutes of which Leonica quietly watched him, along with her mother.

"Is everything alright, hon?" Cassandra asked, having stared at her daughter long enough to see the frown that marred her face when looking at her son on the phone.

It was obvious that she didn’t like Ashley being on the phone with Gabriel and especially when he looked so happy.

It gave her mixed feelings, the bad kind that made her want to disconnect the wires on the child, snatch him up and book the first flight to God knows where.

Clearing her head of her thoughts, Leonica finally peeled her gaze off Ashley, turning to face her mother with a faint smile that showed how tired she had grown the past few days. "Yeah, I’m fine. Why’d ask?"

Cassandra stared silently for a few seconds, obviously not buying her daughter’s excuse. "You look awfully stressed." She squinted her eyes. "And this isn’t the first time." Leonica nodded half heartedly, expecting her mother to end the conversation here. But Cassandra didn’t. "Say Honey, have you ever thought about...finding a new life partner?"

Her question caught Leonica off guard. "What are you talking about, Mom?"

"You know, a life partner to take care of you and Ashley. You’ve been stressing yourself as of late and the boy," She pointed at Ashley who was happily chatting with his father. "He obviously needs a father figure."

"I’m fine mom, and Ashley...he’s fine." Leonica tried to wave the subject off. Rising to her feet, she added. "And besides, I’m too busy for romance."

"Is that really the reason? Or is it simply because you haven’t moved on from Gabriel?"

"Oh it’s definitely the reason, mother." Leonica responded. "Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and check in a few things with Doctor Bailey." Giving her mother a tight smile and glancing back at Ashley one last time, Leonica exited the room.

In the hallway, walking towards Doctor Bailey’s office, she sighed and hating the fact that her mother had brought up the subject of a new life partner and most of all Gabriel.

Awfully imaginative of her to have thought that she was still hung up on Gabriel. No way in hell was that true. Those five years she had stayed away was more than enough to clear her heart of all those feelings she had harbored for years towards him.

Turning the corner, Leonica’s thoughts were interrupted as she nearly bumped into something...no someone.

Glancing down, her brows creased at the familiar figure in front of her. And it only took her a few seconds to recognize the pale and sweaty figure as none other than Angelina.
