After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant
Chapter 66 Unrequited Rivalry.

Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Unrequited Rivalry.

Staring at the pale female in front of her, who looked anything but good. Leonica was stuck in between a cross road. First road; Ignore the vampiric witch and go on her merry way, committing her wellbeing and whatever happened to her into the hands of God. Or, second road; be the higher person, the bigger person and offer her some help.

A few seconds of being unnoticed went by before Leonica sighed, her decision already been made.

As much as she’d want to go on the first road, bliss and all to her day, she couldn’t bring herself to leave Angelina the way she was look. Not because she was nice or cared about the witch, fuck no!

The answer was simple. Her unborn child. Just like her, Angelina was or rather, was going to become a mother sooner or later and leaving her this way set the perfect stage for a miscarriage, resulting in an innocent life at stake.

Saint or not, she couldn’t stand by and watch a innocent life of an unborn child be put at risk. No matter the animosity she had towards the child’s mother, making he or she pay for her sins was just over kill.

With her mind made up, Leonica walked forward, making Angelina aware of her presence. "Hey, are you alright-" Leonica brought her hands out in a motion to help Angelina who was leaning against a wall and bent as far down as her waist, when not to her surprise, the brunette smacked her hand away the instance her eyes sighted it.

"Stay the hell away from me." She sneered, her eyes anything but friendly. Leonica was unfazed by her act of intimidation and gently rubbed the spot she had smacked. "Don’t...don’t try to act all nice with me, I know your true colors."

Leonica tilted her head to the side and eyed the brunette who was obviously struggling to calm her breath. Clicking her tongue at the fact that she had rejected an honest offer whilst believing there was a motive behind it, she asked. "My true colors, and what’s that?"

"You’re trying to steal Gabriel’s heart back, aren’t ya?"

Ah, here we go again. Leonica rolled her eyes at the absurd accusation.

"That’s the reason why you’re acting all nice, isn’t it?" Pushing herself off the wall, Angelina managed a few steps forward and cracked a strained smile. "Well, sorry to burst your bubble, Leonica," She nearly spat those words in the white-ette’s face, who had to literally take a few steps back to avoid the onslaught of salivas. "Gabriel’s mine. Nothing you do can change that. And do you know why?"

Even when asked the question, Leonica remained quiet. Her silence propped Angelina to continue on.

Pointing at her stomach, she added. "Because I’m carrying his child." She nearly cackled maniacally if not for the wince that made her shut up.

The stupid idiot really was in pain, but her pride and unrequited rivalry wouldn’t let her accept the help that had been offered to her.

This obvious fact made Leonica shake her head with a gentle sigh. ’What an utter idiot.’

"You hear that Leonica? Keep it, no, bury it in the deepest part of that brain of yours. Gabriel isn’t ever going to be yours. And if you know what’s best for you, you’ll keep your distance from him. This would be my last warning." Taking one last menacing look at her, Angelina walked off, bumping shoulders with her purposely.

Leonica remained in her spot, only looking over her shoulder to mutter the words, "What a crazy bitch."

Angelina heard, oh she heard it alright, however, the pinching pain in her abdomen, that seemed to be increasing by the second, didn’t allow her the chance to turn right around and battle it out with Leonica.

Instead she continued on her not so merry way, cursing at the stupid child that was growing inside her stomach for spoiling her well made plans.

She had snuck her way into the hospital, hoping to find a secret chance to approach Ashley and hopefully finish off the job that useless Stuart had failed to complete, when suddenly, she felt a painful pinch in her abdomen. That very same painful pinch that she was still expressing up to this point.

If she didn’t know any better, Angelina would say that the useless child growing inside her was acting like some sort of guardian angel towards Ashley, spoiling the one chance she had planned to get such an obstacle out of the way.

Still huffing and cursing at the child, Angelina exited the hospital the same way she had come, hailed a cab and booked it to the personal hospital she used for her medical check ups.

Sure, she hated the child and the father even, but she couldn’t have her Trump card against Leonica and Gabriel dying, now could she?

Thirty or so minutes of grumbling and cursing at the innocent child, later, Angelina sat in her doctor’s office, awaiting the results of the test that they had just completed. The sound of the door opening from behind, caused her to seat up straight, while the man rounded the table and took his seat in front of her, brown envelope clutched in his grasp.

"The results are complete, Ms. Fernandez." The doctor announced as he pulled out the paper.

"And?"

Shaking his head, he answered. "It’s not looking good." Passing the paper on the table to Angelina, he explained. "Your current pregnancy seems to be faced with more than one difficulties. The results so far have shown that you stand a chance of losing this pregnancy and..." He hesitated.

"And what?" Angelina demanded.

"And...and your ability of having other children. Due to the numerous abortions you’ve endured, you stand a chance of losing your ability to become a mother if this child is lost-"

"Shut your mouth!" Angelina suddenly interrupted him, slamming her first on the table and rising to her feet. "You..." She pointed a finger at the doctor who seemed to tremble under her hated gaze. "You incompetent fool! How dare you open that mouth of yours and say that I’ll become barren! You’re useless and...and incompetent."

’You’ve said that before.’ The doctor thought, however he didn’t dare say those words out loud.

"Ms., please listen to me-"

"No, I won’t. We’re done here." Turning around she exited the office, ignoring the calls of the doctor. Thanks to a few minute of resting, the pain had decreased and she could walk more stable. But her mind however, was far from stable. It was raging, boiling and even trembling.

Trembling with fear. Fear of losing the child she was carrying. No way could she allow that. If that were to happen, she could kiss her only hold on Gabriel goodbye! She’d lose her only means to make sure he’d marry her!

If that were to happen, Leonica had officially won this game and she couldn’t allow that happen!

Stuck deep in her thoughts, Angelina turned the corner and didn’t notice the figure approaching her. She bumped into him and stumbled backwards, nearly falling, but luckily, a pair of arms found their way around her waist, steadying her the very next second.

"Woah, that was close. Are you alright?"

Looking up at the owner of the familiar voice, Angelina sighed. The owner was none other than Stuart Campbell, a rising decorative company owner and the father of her unborn child.

She had called him around the time she was heading to the hospital so seeing him here was no surprise to her.

"I’m...I’m fine." Stepping out of his arms, she tried to brush off his concern. Or at least she pretended to do that.

Stuart bought right into her act. "Now yes, but you didn’t sound alright on the phone. How did the visit go? What did the doctor say? Is the little one alright?" He peppered her with questions.

Angelina could see that clearly, he cared for this child. In any other situation, this would have been heart warming, but not in this situation. This situation was survival of the fittest and for the fittest to survive, they needed to use whatever they could to their advantage and in this case, in Angelina’s case, it was this child growing in her stomach.

This child was everything, the key she had been looking for and she was going to use it to lock and unlock every door towards her success.

And the first part of her act, started now.

Placing the back of her hand on her head, Angelina stumbled softly. Stuart, once again buying into her act like a lovesick fool, quickly wrapped his hand around her waist and settled her on the bench behind.

"Hey, hey take it easy. I’m sorry for asking all those questions."

"It..it’s okay."

Placing a kiss on her head, one which Angelina cringed to, he asked. "How did this happen?"

Angelina feigned hesitancy, but she was quick to spin the bottle, twist the lies and spit it out in the most convincing manner. "Leonica..." She began. "I was at the coffee shop, picking up my usual morning tea, but then I ran into her and she...she got so jealous of my child that she pushed me, Stu." The lie rolled off her lips as easily as one could recite the alphabetical letters.

"What, she did what?" Those words alone had Stuart raging. It was enough to do the trick that Angelina wanted. "That bitch. And here I was, thinking that shit was going to far," He chuckled. "Oh I’m going to make her pay. I’d show her what happened when she hurts my child-"

"Shut up!" Angelina sneered out of the blues. "Haven’t I warned you times without number not to call this child yours."

Her personality did a total three-sixty, but Stuart was used to it.

Slipping out of his hold, Angelina fished out her phone and located the number of her media agency. "The next time you make that slip up, it won’t be funny." She warned as she texted her agency, passing along the juicy details of her pregnancy with Gabriel.

[Bryce Empire’s very own Gabriel Bryce has an unborn child with Famous Newscaster Angelina Fernandez.] She wrote those words in Capital letters and then added a few more things that would draw the attention of socialites. Making sure the story was juicy enough and would ensure that news about her pregnancy spread fast enough, she sent the message.

Grinning to herself at the thought of how she has yet again trapped Gabriel into marrying her. With news of their unborn child circulating, there was no way he’d leave her, not if he liked his reputation and company growth.

This plan of hers, was full proof.

"What are you doing?" Stuart asked after seeing the smile on her face.

Shoving her phone into her bag, she smiled. "Oh nothing. Unlike you, I know how to get my job done and efficiently."
