Chapter 7 She Signed The Papers.
Leonica was sitting upright on the bed, staring emptily into the space.
The hickeys Gabriel left on her were still fresh, yet instead of excitement like anytime before, it only made her shudder and sick.
She hated him.
Hated him with a new growing passion.
When he was the one who asked for the divorce, the one who brought his mistress home regardless of her opinions as his wife, the one who said he'd rather die than marry her, how the hell could he do all that to her last night?
In order not to hurt the baby, she dropped all her pride to beg him yet he still cared about his feelings only. And after all this, he stepped out of bed before she could wake up as if nothing happened.
What the hell did he think she was? A free whore at his beck and call? Gabriel Bryce that bastard surely had no heart for her!
Leonica didn't know how long she kept this position until the doorbell rang.
She had planned on ignoring it, but the person on the other end was persistent and rang the bell repeatedly, annoying her.
"Who could it be?" She muttered, heading towards the door after dressing up.
As she opened the door, she was greeted by the familiar sight of a young man, Gabriel's attorney.
