“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

    “Lorenzo,” she moved over to the man and shook her head.“We do not need to do this, really.”He snapped his brows together and asked, “Do what?”“Leave, I mean. I am sure she would not try that again now that she knows you have my side and the things you could do. Let’s just remain here.”“Why?”“For peace to reign?”He chuckled dryly, shook his head, and then brushed past her, heading to the bedroom.“You don’t know what you are saying.”“Please.”“You should be the one pestering me to leave, in fact! Not the other way around.”“I am fine, okay? Being hit one or two times does not do too much to me. I am okay with it.”He stopped abruptly and turned to look at her. “And that is the problem.”“What?”“Why should you ever feel comfortable and okay with being ridiculed, abused, and insulted every day?”“Lorenzo, it…”“You should never feel that way. You are human, and you should feel otherwise instead. You feel pain when hurt, you bleed when you are cut, so why should you?”“I was just

    Leilani picked on her fingers as she stepped out of the elevator and then walked fully into the room.The atmosphere was indeed heavy as she had heard Nicholas say.They all sat on the chairs like they were waiting to see if Lorenzo truly meant his word.“Sister-in-law!” Mia exclaimed, got out of the chair, and then rushed towards her.“Have you two changed your mind?!” She asked, in exhilaration.This lady was always happy. She had never been found otherwise.Leilani shook her head slowly and then pressed her lips together.“I couldn’t convince him.”“It’s alright. It is Enzo anyway. He would always do whatever he wants,” she chuckled, leaned closer to the woman, and then patted her shoulder.“Are you sad you are leaving? Don’t worry, I will always come to see you! The distance is just about thirty to forty minutes drive. That is so little, you know? I will come literally every day to come see you. And as the good Lord will have it, I don’t have a job,” she laughed, staring at the wo

    Leilani swallowed the lump in her throat as she turned back to look at Mia and then waved her hands at her, pouting gently.“Shit, I will fucking miss you, sis!” Mia exclaimed and rushed to Leilani.They pulled each other into a tight hug and Leilani breathed out.It had just been a week. She was not very close to the lady yet, but she felt safer around her than the others.“Whenever I come to visit you, just know that you are making me a meal. I should have had it since yesterday, but… things happened,” She chuckled.“Since when have they gotten so close?” Nicholas asked, his arms akimbo while he rested by his car and then glanced at Lorenzo who sat in his wheelchair beside him.“I am wondering the same too,” Lorenzo mumbled, exchanging glares with Arthur who stood across them, his hands in his pocket.“I thought you said she was not close with anyone.”“We are seeing the same thing for the first time, Nicho,” he hissed.After a while, Leilani moved back to them and then exhaled, “I

    Leilani whined gently when the hands shaking her wouldn’t stop and then opened her eyes, stretching.“We have arrived, Leilani,” he whispered to her.She snapped her eyes open, sat upright, and then looked at the man who looked at her keenly from where he sat.Nicholas had gotten out of the car already, leaving just the two of them, so she looked around where they were, and then then nodded her head.“Are you okay?” He asked her.“Sure.”“Do you need help with your chair or…”“Nicholas will take care of it. Don’t worry.”She nodded her head, and then got out of the car gently, still feeling the man’s eyes on her.While she stood by the car, she raised her eyes to look at the woman who rushed over to them, and then the couple who ran from another direction, laughing.“Boss!” The couple chorused as they arrived at the car, and at that moment, Nicholas arrived with his chair and then helped him settle on it.Lorenzo raised his head to look at the couple who panted in front of him, and th

    Leilani inhaled deeply the scent of Lavender that filled the entire room as she strolled in fully.Martha had escorted her to this room after Nicholas had helped Lorenzo to another room.The woman had left after she had told her to settle in her room and that her luggage would be brought in a jiffy.At first, Martha had queried Lorenzo, throwing him a dead glare, asking why he and his wife would use separate bedrooms.“God, we’re newlyweds, Martha. Stop poking your nose,” he groaned.“Which is one of the reasons you should be sharing a room. You are newlyweds!”Leilani knew so well that if it was another person, he would not have taken the question as a joke. No, maybe no one else would even have dared to ask him such a question.They were on a first-name basis too, so it explained that they were really close.She settled on the bed, laid her back, and then breathed out in relief.The room was scenting nice, the sheets were clean, everything was in place and she felt the need to fres

    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
