Chapter 38



"You..." Leonica began, fingers pointed accusingly at him as he rose up and began dusting himself of dirt, later turning to her with raised brows as she had addressed him. However, before either of them could speak more, another voice cut through.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Arvan.

"What's going on here?" The male asked, looking between Leonica who was still seating on the floor, fuming red and Gabriel who had successfully dusted himself off and was staring down at her, not even making any effort to help her up. "Leonica, are you alright?" The senator quickly knelt beside the female, extending a hand for her to grab onto and stand.

The action however, quickly caught Gabriel's attention. With a scowl on his face, he looked between his ex wife and Arvan, anger once again returning at the overly friendly atmosphere. between them both.

"She's fine." Gabriel responded before Leonica could, stepping towards her and as if mocking

the situation, offering his hand to her with a glint of competition in his eyes.

"The hell is wrong with him.' Much to his surprise, or maybe not, Leonica swatted Gabriel's. offered hand away and reached for Arvan's own, taking it and standing up.

"Thank you." She offered a grateful smile, completely ignoring the glaring contest Gabriel was having with the back of her head.

"No problem," Ignoring what had just happened with Gabriel, Arvan nodded and returned the smile. The smile however flattered the moment he spotted the red spot with blood slowly oozing out, on her palm. "Are you hurt?"

Looking down at where his eyes were glued to, Leonica finally registered the small burn in the palm of her hand. But it was nothing big to make a fuss about. Gently pulling her hand out of his grasp, she managed a smile. "Oh no, this is nothing," She assured. "I'll get this patched up soon." She raised her hand, showing him that it was no big deal.

"Oh," Relief swept across Arvan's features, his soft expression soon replacing the worried one that had overtaken his face. "That's good. I have some aid treatments in my car, how about I help you with that?"

Hearing his words, despite how it was intended to do good, had Leonica's smile flattering for a

second.

She was thankful and all that, but wasn't used to Arvan's presence, nor how kindly he seemed, to treat her. And for a guy who had just met her, be was acting all too friendly and...too concerned, about her wellbeing. Rising her none injured hand, she dismissed his offer. "I appreciate the offer, but I don't want to keep you here any longer than you need to be."

"It's alright," Arvan assured, a smile of his own playing on his lips. "I wouldn't mind staying here any longer." He paused, gaze falling to the floor, but soon rising again, the smile still plastered. "So, shall we?" Bitting the inside of her lips and very much trying to convince herself that she was simply overreacting to Arvan's kindness after all, many kind people like him existed in the world- she nodded her head. "Alright, let's do that." She mustered a smile, falling to notice how in the background, Gabriel's jaws tightened at her acceptance.

Both she and Arvan had been so involved in their little conversation that they failed to notice. Gabriel's expressions. Watching their interaction was just as irritating as it was annoying.

For whatever, it aggravated Gabriel more than it was meant to and he could stand it any longer.

Turning around, he stormed off in the direction of the parking lot, no longer wanting to wait till Bill pulled around with the car. The sound of his retreating footsteps, finally reminded Leonica of his presence. Nottown but The Truth

'What's with the attitude?'

She couldn't help but wonder, watching his retreating figure until he disappeared around a

comer.

Shaking her head, she returned her attention to Arvan, who was already looking at her. "Shall we get going?"

""Yes, let's."

As they turned around and walked away, a finally camera flash went off from a distance.

From a mile away, hooded in a black jacket and cap, a tall, bulky male lowered the camera and flipped through the pictures he had taken of Leonica and Gabriel pressed against each other, several minutes ago and the lastest one of Arvan and Leonica holding hands. "Looks like I found what I was looking for." He mused, death stick hanging in between his lower and upper tooth.

Reaching into his jacket, he fetched his phone and scrolled through his contact list, stopping when he saw Angelina's contact as it had been stored as, on his phone.

With one click, he had forwarded the first two pictures to her, chuckling underneath his breath.

"You're gonna be pleased to see these."

Immediately those words left his mouth, the screen of his phone changed to an incoming call Sighting the number of his senior, he answered and pressed the phone to his ear. "Yes, what is it?"

"The chief's asking after you. He needs you back as soon as possible, Detective Reeds."

Sighing, he pulled the cigarette out of his mouth and tossed it to the floor, putting it out with the heel of his shoe, before replying.

"I understand. I just finished wrapping up something important, I'll make sure to drop by the station immediately."

Dressed in a yellow summer dress despite it only being spring, Angelina sat in the midst of her shallow friends, laughing along to whatever sick joke they had just made.

But the truth is, her laughter was far from sincere, just as her smile was forced.

"So Ange, we all saw the announcement, how's things developing with You and Gabriel?" One of her friends asked, a teasing smile on her lips.

"Yeah, we've all been wondering." Another added, the same smile on her face.

Angelina's lips tightened into a forced smile, although the other females in her company couldn't tell the difference, as they weren't close to her and she could never afford to show weakness in front of them, but the real reason for her smile, was because of the buzz her phone was currently doing. "Well, we're still planning where to hold the wedding. You know how precise Gabriel is about everything being perfect," She spoke, fingers already reaching for the phone.

"We know," The third friend giggled. "I definitely can't wait to be the one catching the flower

after it's thrown."

And that had all the other females breaking into fits of laughter.

Pulling her phone out, Angelina excused herself and headed out of the room. As soon as she was alone, the smile on her lips completely faded and her eyes darkened as she looked at the picture she had received from the private investigator she had hired. The two pictures were of Gabriel and Leonica, both on the floor in a lip-lock.

Seeing this had Angelina fuming from head to toe.

"That bloody snake!' She snarled in her mind, grip tightening on her phone.

It was clear to her now, that Leonica was a slimy two faced bitch. Despite all she had said back in the amusement park, confessing that she no longer had interest in Gabriel, here she still is, blatantly trying to steal him away.

Her blood boiled at the thought, the veins in her temples threatening to pop.

Leonica was crossing her boundaries, starting a war that she couldn't win. No matter how much of a threat Leonica seemed to her, all she needed to do to secure was make a baby with

Gabriel.

Smiling to herself, she gathered her previous composure, swearing deep in her heart to make her lie, rumors and beliefs, into the truth and nothing but the truth.

Pacing the space of his study in hope to calm whatever anger was still left in him- after returning a few hours ago - his mind however, doing the opposite of the task it had been given, replayed scene of Arvan and Leonica's interaction, ultimately refueling the anger he had so desperately been trying to calm. Those scenes, as if hunting him, replayed like broken pieces of a record label, driving him. crazy to the point that he wished he could dip his hand into his head and pull out that brain of

his.

That pleasure, however, wasn't granted to him, leaving the memories in his head to taunt him in ways that was enough to have Gabriel's stomach twisting and turning in ways he knew it. should not, each time he thought about Leonica and Arvan's overly friendly nature.. It was almost as If...he was jealous of seeing them together.

That passing thought, as ridiculous as it may have sounded, was enough to bring his pacing to a halt, eyes narrowing as he questioned himself based on that very thought; why was he indeed so angry over the fact that Leonica was interacting with another man? It obviously wasn't the first time she had been involved with other men. She was a young, single woman, after all.

Yet the feeling that was bubbling within him right now, was anything but the feeling of happiness, understanding or approval.

It was Irritation.

He was irritated, irritated at the fact that if Leonica pleased, she could carry on like she never knew him and start a new family with HIS son and another man.

Yet here he had been, considering giving her a second chance for the sake of their son.

Gabriel scoffed and shook his head, rebuking every thought of ever being a family with someone like Leonica, after all, it was because of her that Angelina had lost his child, Eight

years ago.

Had it not been for her, he and Angelina would have become one happy family with their child, but she took that away from him before he could even experience it.

It angered him and hatred and refusal to forgive her for whatever she has done, stemmed from there.

And now, he'd be damned if he'd let her do it all over again.

The sound of gentle footsteps approaching, stopped him from further drowning in his thoughts and anger. Cunsfer A Friend

Turning towards the door, he watched Angelina walks in and flash him a smile as she approached.

"Hey babe," She greeted, wrapping her arms around his waist and planting a kiss on his cheek. "How was work?"

Gabriel sighed, not wanting to walk about the way his day had gone, and instead giving what he believed was a satisfactory answer to her. "Good."

"You seem upset," Noticing the aloofness in his voice and also recalling the picture she had received from the investigator, Angelina's smile faltered. "Something happened?" Gabriel's response to her question was a brief shrug.

"Well, you know, if something did happen, I'm here to listen." She reminded, fingers reaching up and gently massaging his shoulder.
