REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 28.
“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

“You look like you have a lot of things to say,” he snapped her out of her thoughts and she shook her head.“No, not really. Just… how about the couple? Ella and…”“John?”“Yeah, John. Are they truly dating?”“Yes.”“And they work here?” She asked, a fleeting glance of critique appearing on her face.“They are good people.”“I never said otherwise,” she defended and he nodded his head in sarcasm.“Your face says otherwise though.”“Come on. It is just that… look at them. They both have tattoos. Both of them. The man has all over his arms and the woman too. I just… I am just thinking how they get to work with you.”“They are good people, and that is all there is to it, trust me. If they were not, you would never meet them here.”She nodded her head, agreeing with him, and then rubbed her palm against her thighs.“You should freshen up. Martha made dinner already, so let’s go eat.”“Hold on, will you keep doing this in front of her too? You two are close and I think it would be hard hid

Leilani, deep down, doubted if she would ever be able to grant the man’s favor.Not only was he even wrong about Lorenzo liking her so much or anything, but she knew she could never do so.He wouldn’t even open up to her. Till now, he had never told her the true reason why he decided to fake his disability and stay with his father.All he said was it was necessary and he was always careful to not go beyond that.Although the man was open to her. No, he made it seem that way.He would tell her to ask him anything and that he would answer but whenever she did, he would answer her in a very curt way.He was hiding more than he was letting her on, and she knew.He was tight-lipped, and would never say more than he was supposed to.For a person who knew literally everything about her, she knew nothing about him.And realizing that this man might forever remain mysterious to her, she breathed out, glanced at him as he had buried his head back in his phone, and then crossed her legs togethe

“What?” she widened her eyes and turned back swiftly to look at him.The man dipped his hand in his pocket, scanned her face for a while, and then chuckled.“What?” She forced a frown.“You acting surprised as if you do not want this.”“How?”“I know you don’t wanna be alone,” he said.She pouted, moaned gently, and then sniffed.“And your eyes have been screaming in different languages that I call you back.”“What?” She laughed unconsciously.“Will you sleep in my room?” He asked again.“Uhm…” she swallowed and picked on her fingers gently.“It is not like I can’t be alone, okay? I just…”“Will you stay in your room then?” He cut her short.“Hey!” She snapped and he laughed.“What?”“I mean… I was still talking.”“My bad. Go on.”“It is not like I don’t wanna stay alone… I just… I mean… I don’t wanna discomfort you though.”“I am not complaining.”She moved over to him, leaving just a few inches between them, and then said, her hands clutched to her chest. “You should have a couch in

“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
