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

The Last Chapter Of Her Life.



Owen would not have believed that something had indeed happened to Leonica if he hadn't spotted her phone, broken on the ground of the location she had sent him.

As he picked it up and examined it, it was clear to him that she had in fact not dropped the phone, like he bad hopes for. Rather someone had deliberately stepped on it, putting a pretty shoe sized hole through the screen. "Fuck," He cursed as he placed the phone in his pocket and then scanned the area, trying to see if there were any tracks, any signs of where Leonica might have gone.

He didn't know how long he spent, but in the end, he found none, and that only fueled the panic growing inside of him.

Realizing that he going in circles wasn't going to help him out, he decided to finally involve the police. Luckily, he remembered the name of the officer Leonica had told him about, so when he called the station, he simply asked for her. "Hi, um, I would like to speak to Candace Lane?"

"Agent Lane would be with you shortly, please hold." The customer service said.

Once again, Owen wasn't sure how long he waited, running his hand through his hair and cursing the fact that he had chosen today of all days to leave Leonica alone.

He should have been more alert. He should have turned down Alistair job call, he should have stayed, then he was a hundred percent sure none of this would have happened.

"Officer Candace Lane on the line, how can I help you, Sir?"

The voice of the officer he wanted to speak with had snapped Owen out of his little world.

"This is Owen Lee," He stated, wishing that Candace would know who he was to Leonica.

Thankfully, she did. "Ms. Romero's Fiancé, correct?"

He nodded even though she couldn't see him.

"How may I help you sir?"

"It's Leonica, I think something happened to her. We were texting a few hours back but then she suddenly stopped and sent me her location, I called but the moment I was able to get through to her, the line was suddenly disconnected, not getting to the location, I find her phone destroyed and she's no where to be found." Owen explained as quick as possible.

"...i see. Mr. Lee, please hold on for a second while I get my partner." The tone in her voice as she said this suggested that she knew something Owen didn't.

Regardless of, he agreed. "Alright."

As he began yet another wait, Owen researched the road, trying to see if he could see any clue leading to where Leonica had been taken or hopefully ran off to. He was just about giving up when he turned around and a glint from one of the branches caught his eye. He squinted his eyes, trying to get a better look at the object before approaching it.

'This...' He thought, as be carefully plucked the object which he discovered to be a jewelry, off the branch and examining it. His heart sank the moment he realized it was the same necklace he had gifted Leonica on Ashley's birthday.

"Mr. Lee, my partner, Chief Roberts is here with me, would you please repeat what you told me?" Candace voice suddenly spoke in the phone, pulling Owen's attention away from the necklace. "Of course, officer."

"Alright, please tell us everything you told me, again."

As he recapped everything, the feeling of dread and anxiety grew within him, because hearing those words once again when you now knew that something had indeed happened to the one you cherish, was much worse than hearing those words for the first time. "And I even found her necklace." He added after concluding his previous explanation. The line was silence for a few seconds and Owen could nearly image them exchanging glances. What for, he wasn't sure, but he wasn't about to seat around and let them keep him in the dark about his Fiancée's case. "You know something, don't you?" He finally asked.

On the other end, Robert realized that it was impossible to keep the situation on the low-low down. People were bound to notice, that he acknowledged and fortunately, Owen, being one of the first ones to realize was a rather smart person.

"Mr. Lee, have you told anyone else about this?" He asked.

"No, am I not meant to? What the hell is going on? Do you know what happened to Leonica?"

Robert shared a look with Candace who nodded, telling him that his decision to bring Owen in on the matter was a wise one.

"Listen Mr. Lee, we suspect that Irene Rosewood is behind whatever is happening to Ms. Romero."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Irene? Wasn't she arrested?"

"Yes, but unfortunately, she found a way to escape."

Owen's end of the line fell silent for several seconds before he asked. "Is that a joke? One girl, bypassed all of you?"

"Not all. She had been taken for a medical examination, she took chance and snuck out. But that's not what matters Mr. Lee, what is, is the fact that with the location Ms. Romero sent you, we might be able to pin point her exact location. Could you please share it with us?" Owen wasted no time and quickly sent the location. He waited for a few minutes before Robert came back on the line.

"We've managed to narrow down the search and we've concluded that Irene Rosewood most likely has taken her to the Pier nearby."

Hearing this, Owen placed his phone on speaker and quickly opened his Google Maps, zooming in on his location to see that there was indeed a Pier not too far from where he was.

"I can reach it in under fifteen minutes." He muttered.

"No Mr. Lee, you would not engage," Robert was quick to shut the idea down. "This is a matter belonging to the police. A team of marine agents would be sent out immediately to scoop them area and secure Ms. Romero and bring her back to safety if she is found present. As for you, you're not a professional in this field and the last thing we need is for you to get injured."

Owen understood what the officer was trying to say, but that didn't mean he was going to listen. "So I should just seat back?" He questioned and even though he already knew the answer, he refused to accept it. "I'm sorry but I can't do that."

"Mr. Lee, you need to listen to-" The line went dead before Robert could finish what he was saying. "Fucking kids of now adays!" He groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Well, at least he got a good clue.

"Candace, dispatch a team of marine agents to the Pier nearby, Leonica Romero and Irene might be there."

"Yes sir!"

As she hurried off to do her assigned task, Robert sat down and thought, 'If anything happens to Leonica Romero, it'll be my head.'

Leonica had lost, not only the track of time, but the count of the steps she heard, signaling her capture's approach.

'How much time has passed?'

She wondered.

'Could it be that an hour has passed already and the sun is already setting? Did Owen get my text? Was he coming here?' 'Was anyone going to save me?'

For the first time in her life, Leonica felt helpless and that sacred her. The thought of death scared her.

She didn't want to die and leave

Ashley when he was still so little and

Owen, she had only just started embracing her feelings for him, taking them away before she could fully enjoy it was just heartless And then her parents, she was sure her mother would weep for a

ery long

time and her father would definitely blame himself for not listening to his father at a young age.

'Damn, this sucks. I can't even run.'

'If only the rope wasn't being held down by these damn weights, if only my ankle didn't hurt, I could have easily kicked her in the gut and made a run for it.'

But all that was what ifs and the reality was that she couldn't do anything. For the first time she was at the mercy of her enemy and she prayed that for once, she wouldn't have to be the one saving herself.

"Alright people, sundown is approaching, one hours up, let's get this monster moving!" Irene's voice rang out and Leonica felt the sank clock of her life being turned upside down.

How long did she have before they reached the center of the sea and Irene dropped her in?

She didn't want to think of it, because thinking about it would only make the fear that was festering inside her, bloom into panic.

"Boss," Leonica recognized the voice of her so called driver. Fuck, she'd so kick him in the balls if she survives this.

'Yeah, even that is like wishing for Santa Clause to take a trip to Africa.'

"Yes? Is there a problem?"

"We just got a report from the guys stationed at the Pier, it's not going well. The cops are on our tail, and they sentout several marine agents coming this way. We need to leave at once if you want us to make it to the center of the sea before we're surrounded."

The cops were coming? Leonica felt an flicker of hope, but her hopes were instantly dashed when Irene spoke.

"Then we better leave now. If we can't get to the center of the sea, we'll just drop her in a part of the ocean that's deep enough. But know one thing I am not getting off this boat with that bitch alive. Let's go!" "Yes, boss."

Seconds later, Leonica felt the boat start up and the vibrations beneath her feet.

'This isn't good.' She thought, as she felt the boat begin to move, her heart rate increasing with every passing minute.

'Where are the cops? When are they coming? Where's Owen?'

Leonica had never been one to hope and wait, and pray that the cavalry would come to the rescue, but now, she found herself praying as the boat picked up its speed to where she knew would be the end of her life. She prayed, hoped and wished that someone would come and save her.

And her wishes were heard, when Irene cursed loudly. "Ah Fuck, how did they get here so fast!"

Her voice was accompanied by the sounds of a megaphone.

"Irene Rosewood, this is the Norwegian Police force, please cease your movements and return back to the Pier immediately."

'They're here!' She thought, but a frown soon formed on her face when Irene responded with a laugh.

"You must think I'm stupid, right? There's no way in hell I'm surrendering now that I'm this close." At her words, the boat abruptly stopped. "If I'm going to go down, then I might as well finish the job well."

And just like That, Leonica felt her body being yanked up and dragged towards where she assumed was the edge of the boat. Her assumptions were proven right when Irene peeled off the blind fold concealing her eyes. "This is where our story ends, dear sister," She cackled insanely at her own words. "But if it make you feel any better, know I never considered you a sister."

"If it makes you feel any better," Leonica smiled, knowing her next words were going to pain Irene, because if she was going to die here, why not do it the right way. "Know father never considered you apart of the Romero Family." At this, the smile on Irene's face disappeared and Leonica knew the last of her sand in her sand clock had poured out.

Without exchanging anymore words

with her, Irene pushed her and she was falling, and it was then, as the wind brushed through her hair and she felt her body hit the water, that Leonica realized, this was the end of her chapter, because unlike the time she went up against Angelina or Rodrigo, both of which times she had the option to fight, she couldn't even move a single limb.

She couldn't fight the weights that were pulling her body towards the bottom of the ocean.

She couldn't fight the water gushing into her lungs at full force.

And she could fight, the last chapter of her life.

So she gave in.
