After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant
Chapter 83 His Birth Right.

Chapter 83: Chapter 83 His Birth Right.

You know that saying ‘It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge’ and in this case, Ashley was the one going to suffer for the sorrow and wrongful doings Leonica and Gabriel had inflicted on her.

It was only fair that way, taking something from them after they had taken several things from her. Leonica especially. Her ability to become a mother, the love of her life, her peaceful life, her status in high society and even her parent’s love when they had been alive.

Fuck, now that she counted Leonica’s wrong doing, remembering each one of them like it was yesterday, Angelina felt like Leonica deserved to suffer more. Losing one thing was too simple for her. No, it was far too easy for Angelina to feel content. She wanted Leonica to feel the exact same pains she felt. The pain of losing her child, her ability to become a mother her status, the love of her life and her parent’s love if possible. She wanted Leonica to feel it all, only then would she feel satisfied.

And as for Gabriel, well, she loves him, still does and always would. And because of that, she was willing to compromise, let him off the hook with a little slap on the wrist as long as he apologizes and continue with the plans of their engagement. A small price to pay for the suffering he made her go through this past few weeks.

A perfect ending, wouldn’t you call it?

Ah, Angelina could almost taste the victory the longer she thought about the better side of her plan. The plan designated to give her a better future and ruin Leonica.

As she relished in the bright side of her plan, meek and sane mask placed perfectly on her face, Owen stared at the figurine she had handed to Ashley, examining the familiar toy until his brain finally recalled where he had seen it.

It was without a doubt one of the limited edition Battle station figurine that was being manufactured in his friend’s company and if he remembered correctly, which he did, said toy wasn’t meant to hit the market until middle of next month.

In fact, that news was old gist to everyone. So, seeing it now, with Ashley, he couldn’t help but wonder how Angelina had gotten it and soon asked.

“This Battle station figurine, it is a limited edition toy, isn’t it?” He question, earning a proud nod from Angelina who was yet to catch up with his suspicion. “And it hasn’t been released on the market yet, so, how did you get your hands on one?”

And her smile faded. Almost as if now sensing the suspicion, Angelina became panicked. “Ah, well, a friend, a friend hooked me up with one in exchange for a favor.”

“That so?” Owen mused, stealing a glance at Leonica, who even though she wasn’t sure where he was going, equally became suspicious of Angelina and pulled Ashley towards her. “Say, Ms.?”

“F-fernandez.” Angelina answered, cursing at herself for stuttering. Gosh, was she so nervous that she’d stutter? What happened to the confident girl from seconds ago that was more than ready to rip Leonica to shreds if given the chance.

‘She’s still here.’ Angelina thought, convincing herself that she wasn’t nervous in the least about being found out, but rather, the nervousness was coming from being in the presence of a rising superstar like Owen.

He had the looks, charisma and charms to make any girl stutter, Safe for Leonica. Gabriel’s looks had raised her standards far too much.

“Ms. Fernandez,” Now gotten a title to address her by, Owen pressed on, smiling, but not quite smiling. Angelina recognized that smile and momentarily, questioned why it looked so much like the one Leonica flashed her with each time she was onto something. “This friend of yours, did he by any chance go by the name, Michael?”

Michael? She didn’t know any Michael, Stuart was the one who had pulled strings ad hooked her up with the doll. She hadn’t even bothered asking how he got it, all she knew was that she was thankful the lovesick fool had obeyed her every word and was still following her like a dog on leash

Sensing her hesitation, Owen was about to push on, now suspecting a case of one of his friend’s employee stealing products and that could possibly lead to a drop in stock for his friend, when Gabriel suddenly stepped in front of Angelina.

“Mr. Lee, it’s not nice to question a lady.” Even though he spoke to Owen, his eyes settled on Leonica. She held his gaze for a few seconds before looking away. “Especially when all she’s doing is giving a simple present. Don’t ruin the child’s birthday.”

Ah, and there he went again, defending her. Leonica couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the thought. But this wasn’t jealous, hell nah; she had dropped that petty jealous act years ago. This, this was anger, the type of anger one felt towards someone when he or she watched them blindly stand up for someone who isn’t the least bit in the right.

Fuck Angelina’s innocent act, Leonica was going to go with her guts on this one and her guts tells her that Angelina hasn’t changed. She’s still the same scheming bitch she was one week ago and it’s only a matter of time before she showed her true colors.

But unlike Gabriel, she’d be ready.

“Here buddy, I got something for you.” Gabriel’s voice pulled her out of her head as he handed their son his own present he had prepared over the week.

Ashley collected the wrapped pack with more happiness than when he had received Angelina’s own. For a few seconds, he stared at the pack, wanting to register the fact that this was his very first present from his father, more than he wanted to tear it open and see its content.

“Go ahead buddy, open it up.” Gabriel urged the moment he noticed the child’s reluctance to tear the wrapping off.

Was he disappointed? This was the first present he had prepared for a child and although he had put his spirit into making the gift and packaging it, he wasn’t too confident in his wrapping skills.

The negative thoughts plaguing his mind disappeared in a matter of seconds as Ashley’s excited voice drove them away like peppermint does to mosquito.

“Whoa, Awesome!”

As much as Leonica wanted to feign indifference, she couldn’t help but look over at the present Gabriel had prepared for their son. Her breath hitched in her throat the moment her eyes landed on the gift, or rather, what was hanging off the present.

The object in particular was a two way radio, a one of a kind one. Leonica wouldn’t put it past Gabriel’s doing; he could make anything if he puts his mind to it. And then, it had a strap and on the strap was a golden metal craved in the shape of a diamond with the initials ‘B.E.’ placed in the middle.

Leonica could recognize that Emblem anywhere she saw it. In fact, not only her, but every single person, after all, it was the Bryce family crest.

“Gabe... Gabriel, this... Ashley can’t accept this-” She began but Gabriel cut her off.

“Why can’t he?” He asked, dark eyes once again settling on her in an almost intense stare.

Leonica was forced to look away when she felt her body given off an unwanted reaction. For a second, she closed her eyes, cursing the rubbish reaction her body still gave off despite all the pep talks, lectures, and even experience. “It’s because, he just can’t.”

“Is it because of that?” Leonica already knew he was talking about the crest. She nodded. “It’s his birth right, Leonica. It became his the moment he was born... and besides, Grandmother prepared it as her grandchild’s birthday present. So please, just let him have it.”

Between the slip second of vulnerability that Leonica saw on Gabriel’s face and the mention on loved and wonderful Lila Bryce, she wasn’t sure which made her give a subtle nod, earning a cheer from Ashley who had been listening to his parent’s conversation.

But while he was happy, Angelina wasn’t. Oh, she wasn’t in the least bit. She was jealous and angry, angry the moment she heard that the family crest Ashley now held was supposed to have belonged with her child.

But guess what, it’s not fucking Christmas; she lost her child and ability to make more. If that wasn’t enough to drive her insane while watching this scene, then shit, Angelina has entered a new level of sanity for herself.

Preoccupied with her anger, Angelina had taken a step back but wasn’t aware of Daisy who was rushing towards Ashley, two cups of red punch juice in her hands. It had happened so fast; one second the dress was fine, Daisy was happy and Angelina had perfect control of her emotion and the next second, it all crumbled. Dress red, control over emotion lost and Daisy staring wide eyes.

“What have you done?!” Angelina shrieked, staring down at the mess.

Daisy was instantly scared by the woman’s outburst but managed a few words. “I’m... I’m so sorry. I’ll-”

“You’ll do what you little bitch?!” Angelina cut her off, forcefully grabbing onto her upper arm. “Cry to your mommy so that she could allow you use your fucking penny change to fix my dress? Well guess what, even if you broke that piggy bank of your, it still won’t be enough to fix my dress. So now, tell me, what do you plan to do, huh?!”

Daisy winced at her harsh words. Tears pulled in her eyes and her lips trembled with fear. She looked towards Ashley, hoping her friend could help her out, unfortunately for her; Ashley had already buried his face in Gabriel’s leg, equally as scared by Angelina’s action as Daisy was. But that didn’t stop him from tugging on his father’s dress, wanting to help his friend in some way.

Leonica who had been watching for, too long in her opinion, spoke. “I think this has gone on far too long.” She was about to take a step forward when Owen held her back, subtly shaking his head and pointed at Gabriel who was about to take action when it seemed like Angelina was about to slap Daisy.

However, before either of them could react, Arvan caught Angelina’s wrist and flung it away. The force caused her to let go of Daisy’s arm and the scared girl quickly collapsed into her father.

Seeing his daughter so shaken up and the fact that Angelina had even thought of harming his daughter, angered Arvan. When his gaze landed on Angelina, she shivered.

“The next time, you ever think of raising your hand against my daughter, I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure your life in Oslo and beyond is worse than a fucking nightmare.”
