After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant
Chapter 75 The Truth Even He Denied.

Chapter 75: Chapter 75 The Truth Even He Denied.

April fools, that was what Angelina wished today was.

But it wasn’t. Currently, it was May 3, April’s fool was far from over. So that meant everything little thing Gabriel was saying was not a prank.

Tears began to pull in her eyes, and she snapped without holding back, yelling at the top of her lungs. “You... you don’t love me anymore? There’s no future for you and I? What the hell are you saying Gabriel?!”

Gabriel remained quiet even though he had been addressed. He had prepared for something like this, her outrage and on flowing tears, so he wasn’t in the least bit moved.

When Angelina noticed this, eyes locking onto his indifferent and unfazed ones, she felt a painful sting in her chest. It was the kind of pinch one felt once they had realized something painful that they had been trying to fight off. And for Angelina, her realization in this case, was that Gabriel’s words were true.

He wasn’t lying to get rid of her but telling the truth. He actually no longer loved her.

But why? And when did he fall out of love with her? How long had it been? And if he no longer loved her..., who did he love?

As much pain as the thought brought, Angelina had the feeling that she needed to know the answer. Was the person he now loved better than her? Prettier than her? Could she perhaps... have children for him, unlike her?

Fear of the unknown slowly drove her crazy and her hands crept up to her hair, tugging painfully on it in other to keep her mind from wandering into the depth of insanity.

She could still salvage this situation, get her position as his fiancée back if she knew how to handle her opponent. Those were the comforting words she told herself and they were more than enough to snap her back, giving her enough courage to look up at Gabriel.

With a forced smile, that broke every now and then, showing the pain she was feeling, she tentatively asked. “Would you mind telling me... if you don’t love me anymore,” She paused, swallowing thickly before she continued. “Then who is it you love now?”

Gabriel remained silent for a few seconds, but Angelina knew he was thinking of the person that had replaced her, when his expression softened, and a wistful smile crept onto his lips.

“Are you sure you want to know the answer?” Gabriel asked, wanting to spear any more pain than her heart was already going through. When she remained silent, he continued, finally about to speak a truth that even he himself had been denying for months now. “It’s-”

“That enough!” Angelina’s hand quickly went up, covering her ears with her eyes shut tight as she interrupted his words.

She no longer wanted to hear, even if that meant she wouldn’t know who her opponent was, that was fine. She was fine with that, but having to bear to see that familiar expression of warmth and adoration that once was for her, belonging to someone else now, she couldn’t bring herself to stand the pain that came along with it.

It was unlike anything she had ever experienced.

“No.. More. Please, please stop.” She sobbed.

At this point, Gabriel could only feel sorry for her. The way she was, the way she currently was crying was after all, only because she fell in love with him. It was saddening, but what was more saddening would be when he continues to ignore the whispering words of his heart... fighting the feelings that even he has tried to ignore.

It would be best for them both if he told the truth. “Angelina,”

“Please don’t.” She begged, but Gabriel continued.

“The person I love Angelina, is...” He paused and swallowed, trying to convince his mouth to utter the remaining word that even though they felt right to say, his egotistical brain refused to accept, unlike his heart. “Leonica.” The name rolled out of his mouth at last, providing a wave of relief that even he didn’t know existed.

But for Angelina, however, hearing those words far from relieved her. It caused a sudden fire to rise in her chest, momentarily overtaking the pain she was feeling. “Leonica? You love her? Why, because she can bear your children... and I can’t?”

“Of course not!” Gabriel denied it, honestly.

“Then what is it? What does she have that I don’t? Why can you love her but not me?” Angelina questioned, waiting for an answer, but Gabriel remained silent for the next few seconds, trying to think of an answer.

But he couldn’t. No, it wasn’t that he couldn’t, but rather, because the little he knew about Leonica, the little that drew him towards her constantly and caused his chest to tighten each time she looked at him with disgust, each time she smiled at Arvan and not him and each time he thought of her spending her life with someone else, that little knowledge, was too big to be put into words.

But if he was to say one word, then it would be; “Everything.”

Angelina breathed out, intending to calm her nerves. However, the breath came out more shakily than she had expected, and her fingers tightened around her hospital gown, crumbling the fabric as she thought about how hard she had worked for ten freaking years, just so she could win Gabriel’s heart.

Yet, Leonica had only been back for less than three months, and she had successfully captured Gabriel and many more’s heart.

‘Ah, I underestimated that bitch.’ She thought.

“But you don’t need to worry, Angelina,” Gabriel’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked up but could barely make out the expression on his face due to her vision being blurred by her tears. “Even with everything that has happened, I still intend to support you. To make sure you recover the fastest you can and live the best life opportune for you, I owe you that much after you’ve saved me. But” He slowly shook his head. “I can’t continue doing this... Denying my feelings and acting like they don’t exist. I did it five years ago, and I don’t intend to do it again.”

“Five... five years ago? Are you listening to yourself Gabriel?! You loved Leonica five ago while she was busy creating a scheme that led to your grandmother’s death.”

Hearing his grandmother mentioned it, Gabriel’s jaws tightened, and he shook his head. “Don’t do that, Angelina. Grandmother’s death wasn’t Leonica’s fault, so don’t try to pin it on her.” He warned.

“What?” Angelina was shocked, after all, she knew when it came to Lila, Gabriel was always sensitive. So, if she played her card well, then she could trick him into hating Leonica again.

But apparently, that trick had expired.

“Medical test, detailed records and all were carried out, investigations even. Nothing was able to prove that Leonica was responsible for Grandma’s death. They all boiled down to the same conclusion; death from old age.” He explained. “So, Angelina, Leonica is innocent. And if you were to speak about my grandmother, then I can beat my chest and tell you that I’m damn sure she would be rolling in her grave if I mistreated Leonica any more than I already have.”

And those words were enough to seal the deal. Just as much as Gabriel was a softie for his grandmother, his convictions also stood firm when it came close to having anything to do with her, partially one of the reasons he mistreated Leonica a lot when he blindly believed she was responsible for the older woman’s death.

End note, Angelina now knew that no matter what she said or the tricks she tried to pull, Gabriel’s mind wouldn’t be changed. And neither was hers.

She refuses to admit defeat.

“I know this may have hurt you deeply, Angelina and I’m sorry for that.”

“I.. See.” She feigned understanding while the sound of his phone ringing echoed in the room.

Fishing his phone out of his pocket, Gabriel sighed once he saw it was an important business call, one of those ones Bill couldn’t handle. “I need to answer this,” He informed, rising to his feet and walking towards the door, only stopping one last time to look over his shoulder. “Rest well, Angelina.”

And with that, he was gone, leaving Angelina where she sat, heartbroken and all. But she refused to cry. Instead, the pain she felt, she channeled in in a new direction, Revenge.

Getting up, she located her phone and dialed Stuart’s number. The phone, as usual, rang for only a few seconds before the lovesick fool picked up.

“Angelina, what is it?” He asked.

“Stuart,” Standing in front of the window and watching Gabriel walk towards his car, phone held to his ear, she spoke. “There’s been a change of plans.”

“Change of plans, how come? And what is it being changed to?”

“Something even better. Tell me Stuart, what’s the best way to make two people suffer?”

To make their lives a living hell from right under their noses.

‘Just you watch Leonica, Gabriel, I’ll make you both pay for hurting me like you’ve done.’
