After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel)

Seating in the agreed upon restaurant, Irene found herself checking her phone more time than needed so. Why was she so freaking late, she thought, bouncing her legs impatiently as there was still no sign of Leonica.

What if she wasn't going to show up? What was she supposed to do then?

The thought alone had her biting her thumb nail, an act she never thought she'd ever do until recently.

Her poor manicured nails were suffering so much and it was all because of Leonica. But even when she knew this, Irene had to remind herself to stay calm, after all, she was here to make a deal with Leonica, not murder her, at least not yet. Finally, the bell above the restaurant jiggled and Leonica walked in. Irene watched her walk towards where she was seated, noticing the slight limp in her step.

"You're late." She said as soon as Leonica had taken the seat in front of her.

The younger female flashed her a knowing smile. "Yeah I know,"

Irene gritted her teeth. "You-" She stopped herself before anymore words could come out and Leonica smiled.

"So, what information do you have to give me?" She asked, going straight to the point.

Irene composed herself before speaking. "You once asked me why after all these years I had decided to show up, reveal my existence, well, I'll give you the answer, as long as you promise me a solid deal." "That is?"

"Full reinstatement into the Romero family. And I'd have a fair share of the inheritance."

Leonica hummed pretending to think about it when she knew in reality, she wasn't going to do so. "And what if I don't hold up my end of the deal?" She asked curiously.

Irene clenched her fist under the table. "Then you can be sure that I'd ruin you. I've got a lot of secrets up my sleeve." She lied.

"Oh?"

"That's right. So if you don't want your dirty secrets leaked out, I'd suggest you agree."

Leonica's eyes glinted in amusement, the corners of her lips slowly tilting upwards.

"Alright, I promise to do what's within my power. Now speak."

"Jamil Vanadas was the reason why I showed up. You should know him," Irene began hell-bent on ranting Jamil out and ruining whatever plans he has seeing as he has dumbed her. "He came up to me with a silly proposal, I could know who my real father is and get revenge if I wanted but in return, I has to ruin the entire Romero family."

Leonica cocked her head at Irene's explanation. "And his goal?"

Silence quickly descended and Leonica was surprised when Irene stared at her, giving her the answer to her question.

"Wait, me?" She asked incredulous.

"He's a sick psychopath," Came Irene's answer as she shook her head while Leonica chuckled humorlessly.

A man would go through all the stress of ruining a whole family and causing so many scandals on the internet, all because he wanted her?!

This was too hilarious. To think that she had given Jamil more credit.

"Wow, he was more stupid than I thought." Her words surprised Irene who's eyes quickly widened.

"You... You knew?" She shrieked feeling stupid all of a sudden.

Leonica had once again bested her.

"Well, I had my speculations, which you've just confirmed." She smile, but it looked far from friendly and Instead of intimidating Irene, it angered her. Why was Leonica always a step ahead?

"Then why did you agree to meet up with me if you knew?" She asked through clenched teeth, feeling like a fool.

To watch you destroy each other, she thought.

"I wanted to confirm if what I had assumed was true, and it was."

Irene grumbled underneath her breath, clearly not happy with the way Things has turned out, while Leonica watched her with a smile.

Irene had played into her traps up until now and even though she was not yet done with dealing with her, Leonica decided it was time to focus her sight on Jamil.

Without backing Irene was useless. Jamil seemed like the more dangerous one.

"So, is that all you have to share?" Leonica asked, standing up and surprising Irene who had expected her to stay longer so that they can discuss the reinstatement of her into the Romero family.

"Yes. I just gave you valuable information. Information that can be used against that psychopath.

"Not exactly," Leonica reached into her bag and pulled out four bundle of money. "From the looks of things, you snitching I mean, it seems like Jamil dropped you and if that's so, he'd obviously predict this and change his plan. So this information you've given me is indirectly

useless."

"What?!" Irene shot up from her seat looking like she was about to explode. "I've told you everything I know and you have the guts to call it useless."

Leonica simply smiled, ignoring the

death glare Irene was giving her. "It was nice talking to you Irene, and as I promised I will do everything in my power to keep up my end of the deal, sadly reinstatement into the family is out of my hands, therefore I can't help you on that matter."

Irene looked like she was going to have a stroke or better yet pounce on her that very moment. But Leonica couldn't care less.

"I'll see you around, Sister." She waved and made her way out of the restaurant, a triumphant smile on her face.

Everything was working out according to plan and the only thing she needed to do was destroy Jamil, which shouldn't be hard now that she knew his real goal.

As she skipped off happily towards her car, she failed to not how dangerously Irene was glaring at her, hatred practically spilling out of her eyes balls.

She had tried to resolve this peacefully, but it seemed like Leonica didn't want to settle things and leave her be, so she'd have no choice but to teach her a lesson.

"You think I'd leave you be, just like that," Irene muttered. "You're so wrong Leonica Romero."

Jamil was in his office when the sound of sudden commotion from outside caught his attention.

"Ms., please you can't go in there. Ms.!"

Abruptly, the door to his office flung open and Leonica walked in.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Leonie?" The surprise was written all over his face as he watched her walk towards his table with an impassive look on her face. "Didn't think you'd be dropping by. Did you change your mind so soon?"

"Cut the bullshit, Jamil, I know what you did. Irene already ratted you out."

Of course she did, Jamil thought with a disappointed sigh as the smile on his face dropped.

"That useless Wannabe was never good for anything," He spat disliking the idea of Irene in whole.

He really didn't mind the fact that

she had spilled on him, he was going to change his plan one way or another, but having Leonica glaring holes into his head was much more of an inconvenience than he could ever expect.

"Couldn't you just have taken no for an answer?" Leonica asked. "I don't feel like giving you a chance in my life so why try so hard?"

"Because I want you, Leonica." Came his answer. "And I would stop at nothing to get you, even if it means stooping low."

Leonica snorted. Was this guy for real?

If he had been anyone else, she would have laughed in his face, but she had seen him at his worse and so knew exactly how twisted his mentality could be.

However, that didn't mean she was going to allow him to get away with his evil schemes.

"If you're going to stoop low, then I have no choice but to crush you," She warned, voice void of emotions.

"Really, and how are you planning to do that, Leonie?" He challenged.

"You're smart, right? Figure it out yourself."

With a final glare, Leonica spun around and exited the room.

Once she was gone, Jamil chuckled loudly, finding her anger as pleasant as her happiness. He was ready to accept any emotion, as long as it came from Leonica and was directed at him. However, the smile on his lips only lasted a few seconds, dwindling when he remembered Irene's existence. He frowned. At this point, she was nothing more than a stain he needed to get rid off. Apart from mathematical calculus, the other thing Jamil hated was a useless piece of work who'd willingly open their garbage mouths to snitch. And Irene was just that.

And as per saying, Snitches always end up in ditches.
