REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 17.
“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

“Are you angry?” Jonathan asked as they entered the house.All through their journey in the car back home, Lorraine had maintained silence and had not even exchanged a glance with him.Entering the house, he asked her and she scoffed, turning to look at him.“Am I angry?” “You fucking stood still back there while that man insulted us! And now you ask if I am angry?”“What is going on?” Nancy walked out of her room.“What would you have me do, come on?”“Really? It was not even like he was entirely wrong! You have refused to marry me legally ever since you have divorced her. You kept giving ridiculous excuses that you didn’t want to rush things as you just left a marriage and it would not look good for me, but look at her! Did you see her back there?! She fucking married another person a day after she left and she does not look like she was regretting shit at all!”“You know I am doing this for you. For us. You are taking this way too personally.”“For me? Tell me how.”“I don’t want

Leilani looked up to check the time for the umpteenth time and then breathed out.It was quarter to seven, and Lorenzo was not back yet.Too much for, the ‘I will be back in a jiffy,’ that he had promised her. She rolled her eyes.He had texted her about a couple of hours back, telling her that he had just finished the meeting and was on his way already.After she had left the living room hours earlier due to what Agnes had said to her, she had not stepped a foot outside even when Mia rang the bell and FaceTimed her through the screen that was by the elevator side which connected to their quarters.The lady had urged her to come downstairs for lunch and she had declined vehemently.She wouldn’t do so without Lorenzo, she had thought.So, over the past hours, all she had done was lay on the bed, use her phone, and watch the television in the living room even though she was not much of a fan.Finally, a few minutes past seven, she jumped out of the couch as she detected the Elevator mak

After they had both settled in the dining room and their food was served to them, Lorenzo, as usual, moved her plating to his side and then tasted it before he gestured to her to dig in.The woman smiled gently at him and then started to eat before Agnes raised her hand and started.“I have been meaning to ask, are you perhaps her food taster… or Cupbearer? You always taste her food before she even digs in.”Lorenzo raised his brows, rolled his eyes, and then started to eat.“What if there was poison in the food? You know you could have died.”Spewing such insensitive words, Leilani dropped her cutlery and then raised her head to look at the woman.Lorenzo did the same and then shook his head.“There is no poison there, of course. I am just saying…”“You are being insensitive, Agnes,” Zeke hissed.He called her by her name.Leilani noticed and then turned to look at the others who seemed unfazed by that.It must not have been a new thing, then.“You’re taking it seriously, are you?

A long silence ensued in the dining room after Lorenzo made his last sentence and Leilani could not help but shudder in the heavy atmosphere.These people might actually never settle their dispute.And with each passing day that she spent at this house, she realized that Jonathan’s house was better.But does she prefer it there? No!Never!“You always ruin everything!” Aaron snapped to no one in particular, picked up the handkerchief in front of him, and then walked away.Of course, no one needed to be told that he was referring to Lorenzo.Mia was right.This man had definitely had the worst upbringing amidst all these people.She turned to look at Lorenzo who swiped his tongue to his upper lips and then leaned forward to grab the glass cup of water in front of him.“Be looking forward to it,” Arthur broke the silence.Lorenzo raised his brow, asking what he meant by that.“Be looking forward to the day I will return home to announce to you that I have made an alliance deal with BENZ

“No way. That is impossible!” Agnes slammed her hands on the table. “Your daughter in law? That is absurd!” “Only that it is not. She was my daughter in law till the seventh of September,” Nancy protested. “And she married Lorenzo on… the eighth?” Agnes laughed in disbelief. “That bitch… she… she suddenly divorced my son and then left the house. Only to join your family. You…” “She does not look like the type to do so, though,” Agnes cut her short. “You think?” Although she hated Leilani for reasons best known to her, but she knew for a fact that Leilani doesn’t seem to be the type who would lie or cause such trouble. But, the woman in front of her, Nancy, had another plan. She opened her bag, and then brought out some pictures from it. She dropped it on the table in front of her and she drew her brows together while she went through them. The pictures had Leilani in them. All of it. Starting from when she got married to Jonathan and was standing in the frame beside another

“I have heard that a lot of times,” she shook her head, giggling.“No, you really don’t understand me. I said you are so crazy.”“I know,” Mia shook her head again.“You go around telling me you wanna sleep with them?”“Oh, come on, don’t be an old man. I think you are hot and I wanna sleep with you. It is not something to…”“You should get going, please,” he cut her short.“I would only leave you alone if you agree to being married, or something.”The man looked down at the woman in front of him and he shook his head.He had never met someone as brazen as she was his whole life and he could not help but feel unsettled by her, actually.There was no way he had forgotten her.She was the first woman who had left such an impression and he just wouldn’t forget even if he wanted to.At first, he had no other choice than to laugh at her offer the last time she was around.He thought the woman was joking, or maybe nice by offering him a job from nowhere, but deep down, he knew the kind of w

Mia got out of the car stylishly, handed her car key to the security, and then rushed to the entrance after she had adjusted herself for the umpteenth time.Before she entered through the door that was held for her, she brought out her phone and a lip gloss, stared at her reflection on the screen, and then applied a bit of lip gloss again.Finally, she entered the restaurant, and then after she was attended to by the receptionist, she moved to her fixed seat which was closer to where she believed she could see the man.She settled in her seat, looking around for him, and when she didn’t see him in sight, she waved her hand at another waiter and he moved over to her.“Good afternoon, ma’am.”“Good. Get the hot waiter for me.”“Excuse me?”“I mean… get that waiter for me.”“Which one, please?”“Oh, he is not in sight, but there was one particular waiter here last week. He’s more finer than you, sorry, and he is extremely tall too. He is the owner here, he said.”“Ohhh…” the man drawled.

Leilani stepped out of the car gently as the man held the door for her, and then he bowed gently at her.“Thank you,” she muttered and then walked gently to the premises As she walked to the big glass door, the entrance of the art school, Leilani couldn’t help but take glances around. As she reached the glass door, someone opened it from behind, welcoming her in with a smile.The walls of the room were bright, well-illuminated, and filled with paintings assumed to be done by the alumni of the school.She spent about five minutes admiring the room, or even more but it still felt like it wasn't enough. She loved art so much, she couldn’t even hide it.Not at that moment.Oh, to finally be living in her dream!“You must be new here,” she heard an unfamiliar voice and then turned around swiftly.“Y… yeah, hi,” she blinked at the man who stood gracefully in front of her.He was fully suited up and she wondered if he worked here or if he was a student too."Hello, I’m Caleb," the young ma

They arrived home, and the driver hurriedly brought out Lorenzo’s wheelchair from the booth, helped him sit on it, and then moved away from him and his wife after he had bowed.“Where did you two love birds go so early this morning?” Came the voice of Martha and they both raised their heads to look at her.“Martha,” Leilani smiled.“And now, she smiles.”“What?”“You looked like your husband had been kidnapped a while back and had almost gone berserk,” she laughed.“Really?” Lorenzo raised his brows.“That is not true!” She defended and the man laughed gently.“She asked everyone in this perimeter where you were. It was as if she had received some threatening calls about you or something.”“Oh, Martha,” she rolled her eyes at the woman who wouldn’t stop talking and then smiled.“I was just worried, come on. It’s not really serious.”“Well, if you say so. Now, tell me, where did you go without informing anyone? All these while, I thought you were in the building.”“I had something to d

“So, take…” he said to her, and she turned to him to collect the card he handed in her direction.It was a card and she suspected it was for entry. This art school they were in was the biggest in the state, and maybe this man didn’t know that he was healing her inner child as the day passed.She collected it with shaky hands, stared at her name that was imprinted on it, Leilani Wheelers, and then nodded her head.“Do you wanna look around?” He asked her.“You may resume whenever you want, and classes start from twelve till three PM. Is that okay?”“Of course!” She exclaimed.He nodded his head and smiled unconsciously at the smile that was on the woman’s face.He actually might have never seen such a huge smile on her face before. She had never seemed so happy as she was at the moment.He couldn't help but savor the moment as he watched a smile spread across her cheeks as she took in everything.It makes him want to go through everything because of her.“My driver will accompany you,”

"God! I'm so sorry." Leilani stepped back just as quickly as she had when she leaned in.What the hell was this? Why does she keep getting into the same mistake with the man?This was not the first time and she could only blame herself for letting the second one happen.She had told herself that since the marriage was just based on her having her revenge on Jonathan, there was no reason to open her heart to another man.But here she was, kissing him. It was an accident, at least, it had to be. She had to convince herself.On the other hand, Lorenzo didn't know how to react either. He just stood there with an expression Leilani couldn't quite place.At this point it was almost impossible to tell if it was shock, amusement, or desire.But what Lorenzo was feeling on his part was surprise. The woman had literally beat herself for having kissed him the last time that he thought she never would do something like that again."I... uh... It's uhm– I didn't mean to," she said again like he di

Leilani stretched on the bed lazily, rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm as she sat up.She turned to the side of the bed and discovered that Lorenzo wasn't there.Leilani believed he was in the living room or somewhere around the house.That was her innocent thought until she picked up her phone and noticed she had missed six calls and three voice messages from Lorenzo.For him to have called this much, first, he wasn’t at home, and secondly, something had to be wrong.Leilani, whose mind had started flooding with lots of crazy thoughts, picked up her phone and called him back, ignoring the voice messages.She called him more than twice, but he didn’t pick up."Oh my God!" Leilani placed her hand on her head and got off the bed. She had no idea where Lorenzo was, and that scared her the most.Leilani put on her robe and headed downstairs to check if he was maybe somewhere around the perimeter and the call was just to invite her to join him.As the young lady walked down the st

“I… really didn’t think we would meet again,” Nancy smiled softly as she arrived at the table, and then settled gently before the woman.“Took you so long to arrive here,” she rolled her eyes and then cleared her throat.“There was traffic, Mrs. Byers. I apologize,” she settled in front of Agnes.The previous night, Agnes had called her that she wanted to meet her, and of course, she was more than happy to have received such news.After she had met with the woman almost two weeks ago and had told her about Leilani, what she had expected to see the very next day was an article regarding the new couple's divorce.At first, she assumed the people were trying to hide it as they were scared of what the public would say if they heard of the divorce.But, later, she saw pictures of Leilani and Lorenzo that were still circulating, so she knew the divorce didn’t happen.Her plan had failed.And she could only wonder why. She was certain she had done a great job slandering Leilani so the reason

Leilani kept watching as Lorenzo talked about how she was to start therapy and medication immediately and then went as far as the kind of food she would be consuming more.“Why are you doing this, really?” She breathed out.He raised his brows to look at her and then frowned, “Do what?”“You went to the hospital despite the fact that I have told you not to worry about the result.”“Exactly. Why should I listen to you?”“Because it is about me and I have the right to hoard the result, don’t I?”“I still don’t understand why you wanted to hide it, though. I knew already, even before I took you for the checkup. I suspected that you possibly had it. It is nothing now.”“But, these days…” she stood from the edge of the bed that she sat on and then walked over to him as he worked on the laptop on the couch.“It feels as though I am being too much. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate everything you are doing for me. But, because of me, you left your parent's place. Each time you keep going out
