Chapter 30 Inessential Jealousy.
If Angelina’s set goal was to annoy and get under Leonica’s skin with her unnecessary announcement, then she was succeeding.
Hearing those words, although she had expected to hear it some day, hit Leonica like a brick she had not physically prepared herself for.
Her strut towards any crowded direction which she could use as an escape alternative had come to a stop, giving Angelina, who had seen her halting step, a chance to pound the horrible, yet incredibly lie for her, into Leonica’s head.
“Yeah, you heard me right. I’m pregnant, and it’s Gabriel’s, so don’t bother trying to disrupt our wedding, after all, a blessed child such as mine, should have nothing less than a perfect family.”
Angelina continued to boast, hands on her hips and chest as she addressed herself in a third person’s point of view.
“But you know, I have you to thank for this. It’s all thanks to you being the snake and bitchy woman you are, that Gabriel could still open up his heart to me, after three whole years.” She carried on. “And now, just like, we’d soon be married, living our best lives in the Maldives while you...you’ll remain you.”
Hearing the mocking tone in her voice, Leonica turned over and stalked back to her previous position. “So what? I’m I meant to get on my knees and cry?”
Her words surprised Angelina, who once again, just like back at the banquet, wasn’t receiving the exact reaction she had wanted.
“Look here, hussy,” Leonica addressed her with venom. “All this shit you’re saying, has nothing to do with me. I’ve told you this once and I’ll say it again.” Taking a step closer, she stared down at the female in front of her, her eyes showing nothing but the sincerity behind her words. “I have no interest in whatever ass crap you and Gabriel Bryce are up to, so don’t bother stressing all that news in my ears, it’s just gonna give me a headache. Nothing more, nothing less.”
Angelina who had momentarily been frozen, finally gathered up the courage to speak. “Ha, like I’ll believe all what you say-“
“And should I?” Leonica cut her off. “You go around publicly announcing your relationship with Gabriel like it’s some hot selling topic. News flash, it isn’t and people have better things to do than heading you announce your damn promotion from mistress to fiancee.” She added in upon seeing the confused, yet stunned look on Angelina’s face.
