After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant-Chapter 42 Hickeys.

Hands balled and jaws clenched tightly, Angelina stood off in a corner, fuming from head to toe as she watched Leonica meander out of the room, hair a mess and fresh hickeys decorating her back and neck, ultimately clarifying that the plan she had spent days crafting, had fallen into the wrong hands.

And it was all because of that Bitch called Leonica!

She had ruined everything, stolen the opportunity away from her when she had spent thousands on the drug she diluted Gabriel’s drink with.

She had waited patiently, bought the drug from a friend of hers who assured her that one night was all it took for her to get pregnant with Gabriel baby, with thousands of dollars and at the right time, decided to strike, but all because of Stellar dragging her away from a talk, she had lost the opportunity.

Slowly advancing from her spot, Angelina moved towards the room Leonica had stepped out from and with much hesitation, peeped into it.

Her heart skipped a beat at the sight, for Gabriel was indeed resting on the bed, hair messy and clothes completely gone.

He had slept with her.

Angelina didn’t need the evidence before her to confirm that fact, the hickeys on Leonica’s body, the disarray the bed was in, the scent of sex in the room, and most importantly, Gabriel’s own naked state, made the evidence all the more clear.

They had fucked.

Swallowing the urge to scream and her own hatred towards Leonica, which had reached a new high since seeing her step out of the room, Angelina slowly pulled the door and stepped inside, kicking aside Gabriel’s discarded suit near the door.

Walking towards the bed, hands in her hips, Angelina glanced around, thinking of ways to salvage the situation before Gabriel woke up from his sleeping state.

The first thought that crossed her mind was strip and slip into the space beside him, but considering Gabriel’s incredible memories and The hickeys on Leonica’s neck, she wasn’t too sure that plan would be exactly smooth sailing.

The second though that crossed her mind however, made the corners of her lips tug up into a mischievous smirk.

’Well, why not?’

If her plan to get pregnant by Gabriel’s seed failed, then the least she could do was prepare hard evidence that they had indeed slept together.

She’d make him believe he got her pregnant, and once the news spread, it was sure to be all over the press, and that was a guarantee ticket into his life.

Yes, the idea was brilliant and there was no way it would fail, but in order for the plan to work, she needed to act, and fast, before the sleeping beauty rose from his sleep.

*~*

Gabriel had expected to wake up to a hangover worse than a concussion, but much to his surprise, he woke up feeling much more refresh than he had in the past five years.

Stirring in his bed, he hugged the duvet and inhaled the scent attached to it that reminded him of the dream he had dreamt about.

In his dream, for the sake of Ashely, Leonica had decided to forgive him. With open arms, she welcomed him back into her life and embraces, offering herself to him afterwards. Gabriel hadn’t hesitated. He took and savored it all, the look on face as he pleasured her, her voice calling out his name, and her smell, her taste.

All the sensations he had long since forgotten, they had returned to him in his dreams, reminding him of the pleasure and comfort he had lost five years ago.

It all felt so surreal, and now, waking up to her scent, and this sound of running shower, Gabriel had for a moment believed he was still in his dream.

That was until the sound of running shower disappeared and the door opened and Instead of Leonica, Angelina suddenly stepped out.

"Gabriel, you’re awake!"

She sounded surprised to see him awake, but that wasn’t the only thing that caught his attention.

No, what did was her outfit.

She wore nothing but a towel wrapped around her torso, barely covering the important parts and all around her neck were visibly marks of fresh love bites.

What the hell had happened the night before?! Why was Angelina here and not...Leonica?

Had he...had he perhaps imagined everything that happened last night?

No way, Gabriel knew who he smelt, and felt and it wasn’t Angelina...

Right?

Sitting up in bed, he rubbed his temple and tried hard to recall what had happened, but nothing came up.

Perhaps it was indeed Angelina he had slept with but due to his fuzzy mind and memory, he had accidentally mistaken her for Leonica.

Gabriel had no idea how long he sat there, staring into space, but when Angelina finally broke the silence, he realized that he hadn’t responded to her greetings, and was now seating beside him with a puzzled look.

"A-are you okay? Are you feeling better after...last night?" Angelina asked in a coy manner, fingers tightening around the towel When Gabriel’s gaze met hers and then swept to the curves of her neck.

His mind was telling him, a thousand and one times, that the person he had slept with was Leonica, but the hickeys present on Angelina’s neck was a fresh slap out of his imaginative thinking.

The person her had slept with was Angelina, not Leonica.

Sighing to clear his head, Gabriel buried his face in the center of his palm.

"I’m sorry, Angelina," He muttered.

"Huh?"

"I’m sorry," Repeated, removing his hand and looking up at her. "About last night...I was drunk and took advantage of you, I’m sorry for that."

Containing the smile that threatened to break into her lips after witnessing the success of her plan in motion, Angelina quickly shook her head. "N-no, it’s fine, like you said, you were drunk, I know you didn’t mean to-"

"Whether I meant to do it or not, it’s only right that I take responsibility for my actions." Gabriel cut her off. "Angelina," He called, reaching out and holding her hand.

Angelina’s heart nearly leaped out if her chest.

"From this moment forth, no matter what happens, I promise to take responsibility."

And those were the magic words she had been looking for. Allowing the smile to bow make it’s way to her lips, Angelina rejoiced in the inside.

Now that Gabriel believed that they slept together, she could easily get pregnant with another man’s child and claim it was his.

"Thank you, Gabe," She whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him into a hug, one which he accepted and returned.

After a few minutes, they parted and Angelina excuses herself, claiming that she needed to turn into work as she had gotten a call earlier in the day.

Gabriel nodded watched her head into the bathroom. When she came out dressed, he had already put in his trouser.

"Do you have everything?" He asked, walking towards her.

Angelina’s eyes gravitated towards his exposed chest, she drooled for a bit before snapping herself out and nodding.

"Yes, I have everything." Getting on her toes, she pecked his check, to excited with her success to notice the fact that Gabriel had flinched when she kissed him. "Well, I’ll get going now. I’ll drop by later to see you, okay?"

Simply nodding his head, Gabriel agreed. "Yeah, do so."

Walking her towards the door, he closed the door behind her, about to get dressed to leave himself, when something on the floor caught his attention.

It was shinny.

Walking closer to the object, Gabriel bent down and plucked it off the floor, holding the object which he now knew was a golden bracelet, up for his eyes to examine.

As the jewelry swirled between his fingers, cold and shinning, his eyes caught the initials written on the inside.

L.R.

’L.R?’ He repeated in his mind, looking the bracelet over once more.

It certainly didn’t look like something Angelina would wear. So who could have...

The thoughts stopped in his mind as soon as they entered. Getting up, he walked to his phone and called his assistant.

"Bill, where are you? I need you to look into something."
