“Leonics, if you’re watching this, I’m genuinely sorry for all the hurt I caused you five years ago. Just like I’ve come to realize my past mistakes, I’ve come to realize that denying and burying my feelings for you. Is pointless. So I’m going to try my best to appease for my mistakes and heal the hurt I’ve done and hopeful eam the chance to win your heart back once more, Leonica. That’s all I have to say.” Bowing his head subtly, he turned around and walked off the podium. Bill stretched his ass on either side, trying his best to shield his employer as reporters tried to approach him.
Their voices and questions completely faded out in Leonica’s ears as her mind replayed what Gabriel had just said
No, not said, confessed. He had just confessed his feelings..to her.
Once again it seemed unbelievable, dream like, but a pinch to the cheek and a slap just for good measures told Leonica that this was far from any dream or hacination she may have had and dreamt of all those years ago.
It was real Her long craved wish was finally coming through, except, she didn’t know how to react.
Along with the realization that every word of the confession Gabriel had just made was real, came a sudden freeze up feeling that allowed Leonica’s mind ponder.. Well, e lot of things, yet she still did not know how to feel Happy, that after all those years he had finally seen the real her and fallen in love?
Angry, that it had taken him so long and she had to endure so much hurt and humiliation, all just so that she could hear these exact words?
Or perhaps Angry at herself that even thought it might be both of the options above, she still has this sick feeling in her gut, begging for all this to bo real? That one sick feeling that God had she tried to kill, shovel and bury it deep fucking down! That sick feeling in particular has a name, they are called reoccurring feelings for the bastard who mistreated her.
Honestly, it was the sickness fooling she had ever felt, but the fact still remains, she felt them and she was awfully aware of it and she couldn’t do nothing about it, even if she tried. And she knows this how? Well because she had tried and obviously failed. And now, she was left to face the consequences of her failed trial; self loathing and a messed up heart.
In the midst of her rumination, her phone began to ring. The familiar sound, even though it wasn’t loud caused her to flinch ever so slightly. Pulling herself out of her thoughts, she was able to look around and find the phone just before the call ended. “Please tell me you have your fucking television on,” Anastasia’s voice rang out from the other end of the
baline
Picking the remote control, Leonica silenced the rowdy reporters and stood up from her couch. She paced. “Yeah, so what?”
“So what? Why are you acting like you haven’t seen the news. Have you seen the news?”
Leono glanced back at the television at the question. She licked her lips, which were awfully patchy and then nodded. “Yeah, I have. So what?”
“So what / Cilt, you never told me Gabriel had such a sweet month! Now I see where my wonderful godson gets his sweet talking abilities from. So, tell
you going to do now?”
What was she galing to do now? Leonica reusalued silent at the question, after all, it was a tough one
It was not easy for her to forget all the harm Gabriel has done just because of a little good he’s doing now, so it was very much her right to stay mad at Ihn for lowever long slir libed. Or, she could play the stupid bitch and no longer suppress her feelings for him, give in and accept only to find out that
lils was just auntlaet selamine lae planned because she had given him a son, an heir for his business.
Now, that would truly he laughable. And as funny as it sounded, it was also equally painful and heartbreak was just something Leonica didn’t have the cretrage to erudite, not after everything she had done to recover from the pain of the heartbreak she experienced five years ago.
