Chapter 6
At his words, all eyes were on him.
"Gabriel Bryce is panicking," Christian stated nonchalantly as if saying the obvious.
This caused another round of confused glances at him.
"Panicking about what?" Lloyd asked, sharing a confused glance with Gabriel.
"Why, about his wife, of course." Christian clarified, the look in his eyes mischievous and playful.
"You mean Leonica? Why would Gabriel panic about her?" Lloyd asked, confused, even Gabriel was confused too. There was no way Christian knew about his divorce.
It was still fresh news.
"Well, I saw Leonica by the gynecology yesterday." Christian suddenly began, causing Gabriel's movement to halt.
The gynecology? Why had Leonica gone there?
A sudden thought hit Gabriel like a brick and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
The only reason a woman would go to gynecology would be...NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
"You don't mean..." Lloyd started, catching on to Gabriel's silent horror.
"Yes." Christian nodded his head, confirming it.
"Gabe's lovely wife, might be pregnant."
She's Pregnant With Your Child.
Gabriel shot up from his seat after Christian's words, startling both his friends.
"Whoa!" Lloyd exclaimed, nearly spilling his drink on his dress.
"I'm leaving." Gabriel announced and without another word, walked out of the club room.
He made his way towards his car, entered and began driving towards his and Leonica's shared
Villa.
Throughout the drive there, Gabriel's mind wandered, pondering the many possibilities of what would happen if Leonica was indeed pregnant.
That would mean he was about to become a father.
The passing thought caused a fluttering feeling to erupt in his chest. However, he discarded. the feeling as quick as it had came, his fingers tightening around the steering wheel. Before assuming things, he needed to speak with Leonica and have her confirm it herself.
After an hours drive, Gabriel finally pulled up in the driveway of their shared Villa and stepped
into the house.
"Leonica," He called out, his voice echoing off the huge living room that barely housed
furniture.
"Leonica, where are you?" He called out once more, this time around, finally taking not of how empty the house felt.
Usually, each time he arrived home, Leonica was always waiting at the door with a smile, warmly welcoming him, despite whatever fight or argument they may have had. However, this time was different.
Leonica had not come to welcome him, it felt strangely out of place to Gabriel.
Rushing up the stairs, still in search of the missing female, Gabriel flung the doors to the bedroom open, expecting to at least see her asleep, much to his dismay, the subtle scent of her roses cologne lingered in the air, yet she was nowhere to be seen. From the corner of his eyes, he caught the door of the walk in closet hanging open and several of her belongings were...gone!
It was then realization began to sink in.
