REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 20.
“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

“Fucking fuck!” Mia screamed.“You shameless whore!” Agnes moved over to Leilani and then pulled her hair.Realizing that it was only going to get serious, Mia rushed over to her mother and grabbed her wrist, “Mum, what are you doing?!” “Let go of her! You know Enzo is never gonna let this slide!”“I think he will be more than grateful that I am doing this in his stead,” she said, tightening her grip around the lady’s hair.Leilani moaned in pain while it felt like her hair was going to come off her scalp. First, she had not even had the chance to nurse her burning cheek before the woman pulled her hair too.She knew right from the beginning that drama was still going to unfold in this house. It was just that she didn’t expect it to be so soon.This was just her first week in this house. Why was she going through such maltreatment already?Although she was used to this kind of treatment from Jonathan’s mother and sister and not to lie, this was the least of the pain she had received

“I… it is just a scratch,” she lied.The last thing she wanted again was a fight breaking out because of her.“I am not blind. And even from afar, I can see your swollen cheek and now the imprinted hand on it.”She grabbed the hem of her top and then began to twist it gently, staring at the man.Realizing that she was not going to talk, he turned around, out of the room, and then dashed to the elevator.“What are you doing?!” Leilani yelled when he pressed the button of the elevator.“Getting the damn answer from their mouth.”“I am fine.”“I am not,” he said and then the door opened.“Your chair!” She screamed again when he stepped in.“You can’t go out there without it!” She exclaimed and then pushed the chair to the elevator with him.“I don’t give a damn,” he groaned, not sparing a glance at the woman who had entered the elevator with him and his wheelchair.“You can’t do this. At least, sit on this.”“This is not the time to do so.”“You are going to ruin your plan for several mo

“What?!”Everyone, including Leilani herself, yelled.“As a matter of fact, tonight,” he added.“You must be nuts,” Aaron shook his head, believing his son had only said that to pull his legs or perhaps, scare him.“Only that I am not and I mean every word of mind. My wife and I are moving out and that is final!”“You would move out over a little misunderstanding? Because of this woman?!”“A little misunderstanding, you say? Your wife, Agnes, hit my wife! Yet, just like the adult and wisest that you are, you took her side!” He mocked.“Homewrecker? Do you seriously call her that? Do you seriously call another person that?! Those words should never have come out of your mouth, you know? Not only did you ruin this family, you ruined me too!”“I never did that!” Aaron retorted.“Really?” Lorenzo chuckled dryly.“It was not even up to a year after my mother died that you fucked another woman, got her pregnant, and brought her home. Of course, I was little, and your words not mine, I neede

She stirred in her sleep, groaning and whining like she was in massive pain.Her hands found their way to her head and she pulled the bun of her hair gently before she scratched her head.Leilani hissed as the ray of sunlight that had crept into the room through the curtain settled on her face as if she had asked for it.“Fuck,” she groaned again and then pulled the bun of her hair as the throbbing headache hit her again.“Fuck, what’s going on with me?” She cleared her throat, and without opening her eyes, she sat upright, and then stretched lazily, yawing at the same time.Finally, she stood up from the bed and prepared to move to the window to close it shut, she became conscious of what she was wearing and then bent down instantly like there were some pairs of eyes in the room, looking at her.“What is this?!” She whispered energetically and then looked around again.This was definitely not her shirt.She thought as she stood up.Not only was it overly high for her, but her hands w

Arriving in the room and dropping her on the bed, the woman curled around swiftly and then wrapped her legs around his waist.“What are you doing?”“Anything to see your face better, Hubby.”He relaxed a little, leaned closer to her, and then shook his head.“Do you know what I cannot wait for?”“What?” She drawled.“The walk of shame and the look of shame that you will have on you for the rest of the week.”“Me?” She moaned while she stared at him through thin eyes, smiling.“Of course, and I am here for it all.”“Are you here for me too?”“Of course, Lani,” he said softly and then moved the strands of hair that fell on her face.“You are so handsome…” she yawned at his face and he shook his head.“You reek of alcohol, Jesus.”“Do you want to kiss me?”He raised his brows at her question and then shook his head.“You are being wild. Is it the alcohol or have you always had it in you?”“Hubby, trust me, I am wilder than you know,” she wriggled underneath him gently and then struggled

Lorenzo got back from his outing and wheeled into the living room, he looked around and then asked Martha who walked towards him.“Has she gone to sleep?”“Your wife? She has been out there for the past hour.”“Out where?”“It’s on the premises, calm down. She is with Ella and John.”“Leilani?”“Yes. I went to confirm, and they are together.”“And it’s been an hour?” He asked again.“Yes.”“Martha, are they drinking?” He asked and then the woman chuckled, raising her brows.“You bet.”“God,” he shook his head and then wheeled back outside, the woman trailing closely behind him.——“Is that… her?”He stuttered as he continued wheeling while he stared at the woman who was… dancing.Leilani was dancing.He did not even need to reach there fully before he knew that she was drunk.And not a little. Madly.“Really?” He groaned as he got to where the couple sat, clapping for his wife.“Boss,” they chorused and then stood up.“You gave her alcohol?” He frowned.He was not offended, they could

“He said he is going to take a while before he arrives and that I can go ahead to have dinner without him,” she informed Martha as she entered the dining room.“Oh, really? Do you want me to dish your food then?”“No, no. I’m not very hungry at the moment,” she answered.Wondering where the man could have gone to that he had not returned home even though it was past 8, she breathed out and then unlocked her phone.Her sister-in-law, Mia’s message came in at the moment, and she smiled before she opened the message.“Do you have any tips on how to kidnap and rape a man?”“What?!” Leilani burst into laughter as the message read and then stood up.She placed a call to the woman immediately, laughing.“I knew you were going to call!” Mia grunted and she could imagine the lady rolling her eyes rather dramatically.“Why are you asking me for such tips?”“Because I need to kidnap Jason, and sleep with him forcefully.”“God, are you still on his matter?”“Of course! He has threatened to file a

“Mrs. Lorenzo Byers!”Anna exclaimed, sneaking up to her from behind.“Don’t do that, please,”Leilani rolled her eyes.“Don’t do what?” She chuckled, settling beside her.“Don’t call me that. My name is Leilani.”“Are you denying that name too? I thought you were married.”“Of course, I am not denying it. But, would it not be better if you called my name?”“No. I will not stop calling you Mrs. Byers.”“Why? At this point, everyone will know my marital status.”“Are you hiding it?”“Of course, no.”“Ooooh, you bad girl. You wanna flirt for a while before you run back to your husband’s arm?” She asked, tickling her which caused the woman to laugh out loud.“Jesus, no! Stop it, Anna!” She laughed uncontrollably.“Tell me the truth. I can keep a secret. I’m not gonna tell him. You want me to link you up with a man?”“Don’t be naughty, I have a husband,” she rolled her eyes and Anna laughed.“Do you, really, baby girl?” She asked, patting her butt like she was patting a baby.“Can you sto

“Who did you say was here?”Lorenzo asked, stopping halfway as he walked to the closet in his room.“Your stepmother, Agnes,” she said again, waiting patiently for the man’s reaction.Lorenzo turned around gently, his hands leaving the button of his shirt and his brows furrowed together.“Why? What did she do to you?” He covered the space between them and grabbed her arm gently.“Nothing, come on,” she said and snatched her arm from his grip gently.“Tell me the truth, Lani,” he said again and then picked up her arm.“She didn’t hurt me. She didn’t do anything. She was just here.”“She must have been here for a reason, Leilani.” He breathed out lazily.“I have warned the securities to never let her in. God, I am going to—”“Chill, big guy. I said she could enter when I was asked. I didn’t know there was such an order, I am sorry.”“You don’t have to be. Did she touch you?”“Yes.”He growled in an instant and she laughed, “Your stepmother hugged me!”“Stop calling her that, and wait, w

All through the journey back home, Leilani wouldn’t stop laughing and all Lorenzo did was look out of the window, in silence.He had thought that he loved to see the woman smile, or laugh, but at this moment, it was literally annoying.She kept picking on him and wouldn’t stop laughing just by saying nothing.“I have heard you. You’re not going to another institution. Fine, can you let me breathe?”When he had said that, the woman had only laughed harder, telling him that he had transitioned from being jealous to being pained and he could only watch again.God, this side of the woman was really not pleasing.It was not cute at all.She was bringing out the sides he didn’t know existed in him and she was still laughing at them.First, why on earth would she let another man touch her?She was married, had she forgotten.“I remember how Ariana or whatever her name was had touched your chest. I didn’t even say anything.”“It was not my chest, Lani. She touched my shoulder.”“And that man

“Really? You are around?“ Leilani smiled widely as she looked around the premises.It was time to leave already, and she was just about to call her driver as she had not heard anything from Lorenzo yet.“I’m almost there. You’re going to see the car now,” he said, and she nodded her head, giggling softly.She rushed ahead to her friends, Caleb and Anna who were walking ahead of her and then the woman asked, “Your driver is not here yet?”“He is not coming. Someone else is coming to pick me up though.”“Who? Your friend?” Caleb asked.“No,” she shook her head and then glanced at Anna.“My husband,” she added.Caleb swallowed hard and tilted his head to the side gently.“Your… husband?”Anna laughed gently and then cleared her throat. “I’ll get going. My driver is here.”“See you tomorrow!” Leilani waved her hand at the woman who scurried away.“You didn’t know I was married?” She turned back to ask Caleb.He had his doubts.There was no way she was married yet, he had thought.The woma

It had been over week since Leilani had started to attend the classes, and she needed not to be told that she was improving.After she had uploaded her first painting on the internet the previous week, people had told her how beautiful it was even if she didn’t believe that herself.Some even went far by correcting her and telling her on where to add more strokes and where to not.She appreciated it all, and deep down, was grateful that she had shown the people.Rushing down the stairs, she breathed heavily and then said, “I’m coming!”“Don’t rush. I’m not leaving yet,” he said gently.She got to where he sat and then panted. Lorenzo had stated earlier that he was going out and she had asked that he drop her.“I am ready now,” she said and adjusted her bag.Over the week, her mode of dressing had changed and he could only smile gently each time he looked at her.Today, she was wearing wine-colored palazzo pants and then a white T-shirt.“Let’s go?”She nodded her head and picked up th
