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

“No, no, no, this is not possible. This cannot be possible,” she shook her head, taking multiple steps back.“Where is she going?” Mia rushed over to her and took her hands in hers.“What is wrong?”“I can’t… I can’t take this. I can’t… no, no,” she sniffed, yanked her hand gently from Mia’s, and then wiped her tears with the back of her hand.“This is too much. I can’t…” “You know what, guys,” Martha clasped her hands together.“Let’s leave the two of them for a while. We will return to celebrate with them,” she ushered them out and then turned to leave too.After they were out of sight, with the door closed, Lorenzo stood up from where he sat, covered the space between them and then pulled her into a hug without saying anything.“I know this is going to overwhelm you. I know it does,” he said, as he patted her back.“Lorenzo, you can’t do this… again. No, please.”“Why?” He bore his eyes on her as he broke the hug.“I don’t… I don’t deserve this.”“How? In what way? Talk to me.”“

“I can't find Lorenzo in the room. Did he go somewhere?” Leilani asked Martha as she descended the stairs.“Enzo? I think he’s somewhere in the perimeter. Do you wanna go to him?”“Yes. Could you tell me where he is?”It’s been three days since she resumed her class and so far, it was better and together with Anna, they had been staying back at the academy for two more hours just to practice as the competition was fast approaching.If it was up to Anna, she really doesn’t need to be staying back as she could do all the practice that she needed at her space. Unlike her.“Let me take you to him,” Martha stood from where she sat and took her hand in hers.“You do not need to bother yourself, Martha. Just tell me where he is.”“Come with me, really. We could have a little chit-chat while we walk also, don’t you think?”She nodded her head and chuckled gently, “I agree.”Together, they exited the living room and then started to walk slowly around the house.“How has it been? At the Academ

Mia glanced at their grip that was both on the bottle of apple cider, looked up at the man again, and then snatched it from him.“Thank you,” she raised the bottle gently, and then dropped it in the basket in her hand.She turned around and moved away from him to continue with her shopping, but then, she felt his movement behind her.“Mia…”She ignored it and kept trailing her fingers on the goods on the rack.“It has been… a while.”“What?” She turned around swiftly and beaded her brows.“I mean…” he swallowed and smiled.“I haven’t seen you in a while.”She looked at him from head to toe, chuckled dryly, and then shook her head. “Oh, please.”With that, she walked away from where he was and moved fully to another compartment.Jason stood still in his position for almost a full minute before he exhaled and shook his head.He had just been disappointed.He had expected that the woman would flash him her usual wide smile and then call his name the way she used to.But, he was wrong.Sh

“Setting it up? A new workspace?” She raised her brows.“She needs somewhere to practice and paint. I know she is not gonna ask after what happened to the previous one, but it needs to be done.”“Aww, brother,” she sniffed.“You’re gonna keep it a secret from her till it’s ready. Can I trust you on that?”“Of course! I would be so glad to be part of this with you.”“Good. Since you’re in on this too, all you have to do is meet with Martha. I have talked to her too so you both should get started.”“Okay. And… Thank you for this.”“Okay.”“I really appreciate this, Enzo. You have no idea how much…”“Can we leave the cringe part and get back to business, please?”“Ah, you’re a killer joy!” She exclaimed and then he laughed out unconsciously.===Leilani kept walking awkwardly till she arrived at her space, settled on it, and then buried her head on her table.They wouldn’t stop looking at her with pity in their eyes and that was one of the things she hated the most.Anna was not around y

“Oh, come on. It’s been two weeks already,” Leilani shook her head gently and groaned.“You’re not completely healed,” he said.She was sitting on the bed, and he knelt behind her, her bare back facing him.Leilani tightened her grip on the blanket that she used to cover her chest while the man applied the ointment to her wound.This had been their normal routine every morning and night since they had removed the bandage on the wound.At first, Leilani had insisted that Mia would be doing it for her but the man had disagreed, telling her that it would seem weird if she did that for her while she had him around.Still, she had tried to prove stubborn before she eventually agreed that he did it for her.And so far, it was okay.It was as if that simple ritual was making them closer as the two of them always had something to talk about while he applied the ointment and massaged the area of the wound.“I truly believe this is gonna heal so fast and won’t leave a scar,” he smiled softly, s

“Hi, guys! I'm home!”Mia exclaimed as she entered the living room, her handbag hanging loosely on her shoulder.Leilani sprang up from where she sat beside Lorenzo and then gasped.“Sister in law!”“She truly came,” Lorenzo mumbled under his breath and then pulled his laptop closer to himself.The two women hugged so tightly like their life depended on it and after a while, Leilani pulled back and grinned.“You really came!”“Told ya!” They both moved to the side as the men entered with her boxes.“Greetings to you too, brother,” she moved over to Lorenzo.Lorenzo glanced at her, rolled his eyes, and then returned his attention to his laptop.“I know you’re not pleased that I am here, but let me tell you two something.”“What?” Leilani raised her brows.“With me here, you don’t need to visit any marriage counselor or whatever. I am here to give advice and my listening ears whenever you need.”“Since when have we announced to you that we need an adviser?” Lorenzo hissed.“You might n

“W… what is this? What are you doing?”Agnes widened her eyes as she ran down the stairs after her daughter.“What do you mean?”“Where are you going?”She asked.The men who were in the living room preparing to leave the house stopped on their track and then turned to look at the women.“What is going on?” Aaron asked.“I am moving out,” she announced.They all fell silent for a while and then Agnes chuckled dryly.“Is this a joke?”“Oh, come on. Does this look like a joke?”Agnes glanced at the two big bags that the lady had dropped outside.“Mia?”Mia clasped her hands together and then gasped, “I still have more bags up there!”She turned around swiftly and they all watched as she ascended the stairs.“Who knew about this?” Agnes looked around.Shane raised his hands and Arthur shook his head. “No one?” Aaron asked.“Where is she moving to?” Agnes asked again.“I guess we’ll have to ask her,” Arthur nodded his head at the lady who struggled down the stairs with two big bags again.

“Who do you say is moving in with us?”Leilani choked on the smoothie she was drinking and then raised her head.“Take it easy,” he sighed, moved over to her, and dabbed the corner of her mouth with the handkerchief.Frowning gently at him, she pushed his hand away gently and then asked again.“Mia is truly moving in?”“I hadn’t even agreed before she ended the call, thanking me. But I think she is going to move in. We can just tell her…”“Yippee!” Leilani cut him short with an exclamation and stood up.“You are not excited, are you?” he beaded his brows.“Should I not be?”“No, you should not be. I was hoping that you would be opposed to it and then I can just tell her that, ‘no, my wife is not in support of this,” he demonstrated, shaking his head.“Why would you want to use me to lie like that?”“Lie? Come on. Let's just tell her that.”“No! Let her move in. at least, i can finally stop sleeping in your room and stay with her instead.”After she said that, she dropped the straw in

Shane raised his brows as the door to his room pushed open and Arthur barged in.Sitting on the couch, he leaned in, crossed his legs, and then tilted his head.“Ah, you have finally come to see me.”“Why? Have you been expecting me?” Arthur walked fully into the room.“I know you, Arthur. I know when you know something. Or, when you have something to say.”“Oh…” Arthur nodded his head and then folded his arms tightly across his chest.“Spill.”“Why don’t you start?”“Why should I? You came in here because you have something to say to me, is that not it?”“Regardless, I would like you to speak first,” Arthur shook his head.“Welcome to the staring competition, then.”“Tch, you asshole,” Arthur smacked his tongue.“What?”He covered the space between them and without saying another word, he pulled Shane up with his collar and then shoved him to the side.“Why?!”“Do you know what kind of pickle you put in?” He pointed his index finger at him.“Me? Pickle? Speak straight, brother,” he f
