REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 12.
When the elevator opened, she trailed carefully behind Lorenzo who wheeled fully into the room and then swallowed hard when she met with the people who stood together, like they were expecting them.Lorenzo halted, and like a puppy, she stayed behind him.She had a strong feeling that people wouldn't like her.It was evident Lorenzo didn't get along with them, so what were the chances that they would like her?“There she is!” the lady from earlier, Mia, exclaimed, pointing her index finger at her.She bowed gently at the man who glared at her before he finally talked. “Do you care to tell us what is going on?”Instead, Lorenzo turned away from them and she breathed inwardly.This husband of hers was not going to make things any easier for her either.Regardless, she walked after him till they arrived at the table and when he gestured to her to settle beside him, she nodded her head and then did as told.She started, “W… why are you…”“I just asked you a question, Enzo!” the old man wh

“Enough, you too!” their father, Aaron snapped and they all fell into silence.But not Lorenzo, he laughed softly and then shook his head“Are you done with your food?” he asked Leilani.Done?!She could not even manage to swallow any at all.“Y...yes,” she answered.“It is time my wife and I retired to our room. We have had quite a long day, you see?”“No one is leaving this room till I am done. Over to you, miss, what do you want? Money? Properties? Tell me!”His tone was rather harsh and loud which made Leilani flinch in her seat unconsciously.“I… I…”“She is my wife and you will address her as such! Let's go inside, Leilani,” he wheeled his chair backward and then extended his hand for her to hold.Leilani gulped, her throat consistent with anxiety as she took the man’s hand.When her supposed mother-in-law stared at her from head to toe like she had dirt on her, she almost recoiled in shame. She slowly let go of Lorenzo’s hand, and then picked on her fingers gently.“Will you gi

Lorenzo sprang up, alerted, and then sat still as he tried to comprehend what was going on and the sound he was hearing.Hearing the muffled sound that was coming from the room that was opened slightly, he looked up at the wall clock and it was three in the morning.He stood up and then trailed carefully to the room.He pushed the door open and then entered gently, but the moment he saw the woman in the bed, he snapped his brows together and then rushed to her.She grabbed the hem of the cover so tightly as if her life depended on it, and she was shivering.She was shaking so badly that it scared him.“Leilani,” he whispered.But she didn’t answer, he leaned in closer to hear what she was saying.“M… my baby… please… my baby…. Help me…”“Leilani…” he dropped his hand on hers and then shook it gently.“My baby…” she dropped one of her hands on her lower belly and grabbed it tightly.“I am here, Leilani, open your eyes,” he shook her gently.When she didn’t answer and remained in her tr

“Brother!”“Brother!”The holler from Maxwell encircled the whole house and everyone rushed out of their rooms, including Lorraine.“God, it is barely nine in the morning!” Nancy, her mother hissed.“You all have to see this!” She exclaimed and moved over to her brother, her phone in her hand.“What is that?” He asked, collecting the phone from her.“Is that not… Lei… Leilani?” She stuttered.Since the last couple of days that Leilani had left the house, it had been pretty much forbidden to talk about her.They didn’t want to rile up the new wife, so they thought it was best if they didn’t talk about her at all.“What is this?” Jonathan snapped his brows together as he buried his eyes on the screen.“This is not… her, right?”“That is Leilani! She is the one!” Maxwell shouted.Nancy covered the space between them, snatched the phone, and then read the article.“She is married?!”“To the world-famous person, Lorenzo Byers!” Maxwell added loudly.“No, no, that is not possible! She can’t

As they both stepped out of the elevator, Leilani pushing Lorenzo out of the space, they met with the angry faces of the others.Aaron had a very angry expression on and he looked like he was going to burst any moment from then.“What is with this shit?” he asked, not sparing the woman who greeted him a glance.“Morning to you too, Father,” he said, and then wheeled away from them.“I demand that we talk properly, son. You can't walk out on me this time around,” he snapped.“Wheel, actually,” Shane corrected sarcastically.Leilani needed not to be told. She knew for a fact that amongst everyone in the house, Shane was one who found Lorenzo’s situation more fun.Just like the previous night, he had made fun of him knowingly, disguising it as mere words.But Lorenzo didn’t pay a mind, he answered his father regardless.“I can, actually.”“Lorenzo!” Aaron hollered and Leilani could see her new husband shaking his head like he was surrendering already and then he stopped wheeling.“Okay,

“W… what?” Arthur asked again, his face not failing to convey that he was shocked by the woman’s response.He glanced at Lorenzo as if he was expecting the guy to talk or caution his wife, but instead, he looked less concerned. No, he fucking had a smirk on.He looked like he was proud of the lady and that enraged him more.“Y… your marriage?” He raised his brows in sarcasm.“Yes. Our marriage,” she said and then stood up.When she leaned down to Lorenzo in the chair and then whispered in his ear, he chuckled in annoyance and then turned to look at Shane.“Are we still going out?” She asked him.Lorenzo only nodded his head at her and then gestured to her to wheel him.“I guess the discussion is over,” he said.As they both moved out of the living room, Arthur looked at his brother, Shane who still had his palm tightly placed on his mouth.“What?”“The wife speaks… savagely at that!”Arthur snapped his brows together in annoyance as his brother expressed, “What?!”“I am not exaggera

Leilani wished, so deeply and inwardly, that the floor could part into two and then swallow her as she stood before these two people.She knew for sure that their path was still going to cross, but the last thing she wanted at this moment especially was to meet just a few days after they chased her out of the house.Seeing the face of the man she had loved for four years again, the moments of agony in that house came crashing down on her and she hurriedly curled her fist into a tight ball.She must never show them how helpless she felt at the moment.She must never show them that their presence makes her stomach clench in pain.Struggling to keep herself focused and unbothered, her eyes dropped on the plaster that was still on Lorraine’s jaw.The place where she had slashed herself but had framed her for it.God, she wished Lorenzo was here!The man would have taken it upon himself to do all the talking!His presence alone would have made her feel unalone and better.Her eyes darted a

“Let’s go,” Lorraine whispered through gritted teeth, her eyes pinned on the woman in front of her who looked the most satisfied with her arms folded across her chest.When Jonathan didn’t budge a bit, she turned her head to look at him, and his eyes were dropped on Leilani too.“Let’s go, fuck!” She hollered, her eyes blazing in anger, pulling attention to them.“S… sorry,” Jonathan stammered, took her hand in his, and awkwardly, they both turned from the couple and then walked away.After they were out of sight, Leilani slowly turned to Lorenzo, a soft smile plastered across her face.“What?” He asked.She bent down gently and then shook her head. “I don’t know, I am just… speechless.”“Why?”“The things you said of course. It suddenly crossed my mind that you might actually not have said a word if it were your… family, you understand?”“Of course, I would not have. I love to enjoy their misery of thinking I am crippled and that they have the upper hand. I enjoy it.”“But now? You d

“How is she now?” Lorenzo asked after Nicholas stepped out.The man has been in the ward with some other doctors with Leilani and then he breathed out.“She is quite unstable, I must confess. And with our evaluation, other than her physical trauma, she might develop some psychological trauma such as anxiety, PTSD, and emotional distress.”“B… but, she is still undergoing treatment for something like that. Remember?” his voice broke.“I know,” Nicholas nodded his head.“She will be fine, Enzo.”“You know that you have to tell me the truth, right? You must not hide anything from me… not regarding her.”“She is going to be alright, I assure you. We just need to help her manage her emotions better when she is conscious. She has returned to sleep and will be awake soon, okay?”He nodded his head and then sniffed.Perhaps the news regarding Peter had made him more scared and unstable.He had thought that if Peter could lose his life because of the same accident Leilani was in, then his wife

“Don! Killian!”Caleb hollered as he entered the house, and then looked around.“Don!” He hollered again.“Do—”“For fuck sake, Caleb!”Don hissed as he descended the stairs, and then Killian walked out of one of the empty rooms downstairs.“What are you doing here again?”Killian asked as he covered the space between them.A stick of weed, Canadian loud hung loosely in between his lips and he breathed out.“What do you want?” Don asked also as he got to where he stood.“I told you…!” He started shouting but soon lowered his voice.“I told you not to touch her!”“What are you…” Don shook his head, confused.“That woman. Leilani. I told you to leave her out of this!”“So?” Killian raised a brow.“So? Really? I remember telling you not to…”“Exactly, so what?!”“You set her workspace on fire!” He cried out.Don and Killian exchanged looks, shook their heads, and then walked away.“I am still talking.”Killian inhaled the smoke deeply before he exhaled and then turned to look at his brot

“This has transformed to bring an arson case,” the detective added to his statement.“Someone started a fire, on purpose?”“Yes, unfortunately. And with your permission, we would like to collect all the CCTV footage in the area. Since it is private property, I heard the footage goes to you.”Lorenzo shook his head and wheeled back gently, “Your job is done here.”“W… what?”“You have confirmed my doubts already, and that is more than enough. I can take care of things from here.”“E… excuse me, sir. This is my work and I would rather…”“Do you not hear a thing I said?” Lorenzo cut him short, his eyes broadening.“We need to find the source of the arson and whoever started it. You don’t intend to keep this under wraps, do you?”Lorenzo glanced at his friend and then shook his head.A while back when the detective had arrived, he had excused himself from the others and Nicholas had followed him.“Come on…” Nicholas mouthed to him to let the man do his work.“Alright. Do your thing.”“Sir

“Lorenzo!”Lorenzo raised his brows as his father arrived and then cleared his throat.“Hi.”“I heard what happened, God!”They had already arrived at Nicholas’s hospital and after they had adjusted Leilani in, they began the treatment instantly.“Yeah, sure.”He leaned down in front of his son, took his hands in his, and then shook his head.“I am sorry this happened. It hurts so much to hear this.”“Yeah, sure,” he nodded his head again.“Come on, Enzo. I mean this.”“Sure.”Aaron shook his head at his son’s stubbornness and then sniffed. “What is her condition right now? Is she getting better?”“Why have you come here, really?”“God forbid that I come to check on my daughter-in-law after such an accident occurs?” Aaron frowned.“Yes. You could have played deaf ears. You are quite good at that.”“Leilani is a good woman, and I owe this to her.”“Good, you say? Oh, please, father.”“This is not even a time to pick a fight, Enzo. Set your priorities straight.”“Right. My priorities. S

“Enzo!” Lorenzo breathed out in relief as his friend arrived and rushed over to him.“God, Nicholas.”“What is the update now?” He patted his arm and then moved over to the door which he believed Leilani was in.He peeped through the glass, swallowed hard, and then shook his head.“Would you meet with the doctor first?”“Yeah, sure. Let’s do that first.”He moved away from the door and then returned to his friend.“Thank you.”Nicholas nodded his head and then hurried away.Almost a few moments after the man was out of the space, Martha rushed in. Together with Ella and her boyfriend, John.“Enzo!” Martha cried out as she got to his side.“Martha.”The woman leaned down to hug him and then patted his shoulders.“How did this happen? Martin told us!”“God, I don’t know either,” he shook his head and glanced at the door.“I suddenly received a call from Martins. I still don’t understand how this could have happened.”“So, how is she now? Is she responding to treatment?”“It’s been seve

“I am going to kill whoever did this.”Lorenzo shook his head, his fists still clenched tightly.“She will be fine,” Mia shook her head, as she sat across Lorenzo.Lorenzo stared at the woman who looked like her eyes could fall out if she tried to cry anymore.Her face was swollen and her eyes looked like they were about to come off their socket.“Yeah,” he nodded his head and then looked away.How could a fire have taken place?How could the workspace have caught fire, and while she was there especially?Lorenzo believed strongly that this was no accident.He knew for certain that his wife was indeed targeted before this happened.He was going to kill everybody who had a hand in this.Whoever they were, whatever position they held, no matter their number, he was going to make sure they didn’t live another day to tell the story.He was going to wipe them off the earth.He was going to…“Loosen up, Enzo,” Mia breathed out, snapping him out of his thoughts.He didn’t answer and only sta

“The workshop is on fire!” The man repeated, crying.Instantly, Lorenzo felt his blood dry up and a wave of chill surged through him, he shivered as his eyes dilated.Not for any other reason, but because his wife, Leilani was in that building.“W… where is my wife?” He asked, stuttering.“S… she is still in there. Peter just entered to see if he could rescue her. The firefighters are on their way too and…”“Drive,” Lorenzo hit the back of his driver’s seat, rumbling.“Yes, sir.”“With the highest speed possible, don’t delay!” He hollered.“Y… yes sir!”“What is happening, brother? You are scaring me!” Mia cried out.Lorenzo didn’t answer and pulled his necktie from his neck, feeling so suffocated.He wished he could fly over there right now, not to lie.He wished there was some kind of superpower that would make him teleport there.Driving at the highest pace, he was certain they would arrive there in ten minutes, but a lot could have happened in those minutes and this stressed him m

Lorenzo checked the report on the screen in front of him and then shook his head, smiling softly, and at that moment, his phone rang and he picked it up.He placed it on speaker, and then leaned back, pulling the laptop closer to himself.“What’s up?”“Did you see the news?”“News? What is going on.”“Apparently, someone claims to be you.”“Me?”“Yes, BENZO.”Lorenzo stopped for a while and then chuckled, “What?”“Exactly. He is going around, telling people that he is you, and people might actually buy it.”“That is because people are dumb.”“You don’t always take things seriously, do you?”“Yes, because this is not worth taking seriously.”“Oh, come on.”“I have something more exciting going on,” he smiled.“What?”“Jonathan.”“Jonathan? Who is… Jonathan?”Lorenzo could imagine his friend widening his eyes as he had apparently remembered who Jonathan was.“What is going on with him?”“He… he is really finished,” Lorenzo laughed.“How? It must be so exciting for you to have laughed.”

“So, have you come to a conclusion?”Leilani bit her lower lips while she looked ahead of her.The registration to join the competition was going to end today and after today, no one would be able to participate even if they wanted to.She shook her head vigorously and then sighed.“No.”“Come on, Leila. We need to fill out the form and submit it before the day runs out. Come on.”“What if I don’t do well?”“What if you do well?” Anna raised a brow.Leilani shook her head, still unconvinced, and then turned to look at the lady.“You don’t know anything, Anna. This is going to be so hard. There will be so much pressure and if in the end I did not do well, I am really really going to be so disappointed.”“I am believing in you, Leilani, can you not do the same?”Leilani breathed out and then shook her head.The previous night, she had talked to Lorenzo but had never mentioned to him about the upcoming contest until the man did.What was she expecting, of course, he was aware of it.“Ah…
