REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 44.
“Your ex-fiance?” Her brows snapped together.“I wouldn’t call her my fiance, though. We were just betrothed to each other.”When Leilani’s face didn’t change nor did she look pleased by his answer, he breathed out and then continued.“You remember my father saying he had someone arranged for me before I married you, remember?”“And?”“That is the lady.”“Okay… So, why did your ex-betrothal come here?”“Does it offend you?”“No. I am sorry for asking,” she shook her head, turned around, and then walked to the stairs.“Lani…”He shook his head.But she didn’t answer and kept ascending the stairs till she was out of sight.——-Entering the room, full of anger, Leilani dropped the bags on the bed, settled on the bed, and then laid on her back, breathing heavily.‘How could she even look at me that way?’‘What did I do to her?’She wouldn’t stop asking herself till she got pissed as the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.She sat upright, picked up her phone and then switched

Lorenzo stared at her, literally unfazed as the woman pulled back, her face totally flushed.He tugged his mouth to a smile, leaned down hurriedly, and then dropped another kiss on her lips, making her face more redder than they were.She totally looked so red like a tomato.“Why did you do that?!” She exclaimed, alarmed, and then moved back.“What did I do?” He asked, shrugging his shoulders off.“You just…” she swallowed and placed her index fingers on her lips.“Don’t try to turn the tables, Lani. You did it first, remember?”“That was because…” she cleared her throat and palmed her forehead.Not to lie, he was enjoying every bit of her agitation at the moment.She looked as though she had just made a terrible mistake and he couldn’t help but find the expressions on her face funny.“I was overwhelmed!” She exclaimed and then he burst into laughter.“What?” “It is not funny, Lorenzo. I was really overwhelmed.”“How so?”“It is not like I wanted to kiss you, okay? It is just like… u

“I would like to inform you that my patient, your wife, Mrs. Leilani Byers has been diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder.Lorenzo sat calmly as the doctor said and he nodded his head, urging her to continue.“I understand this might come as a concern, but be rest assured that my medical team is committed to providing the best medical care for her.”“What could have caused it?” He cleared his throat.“It could be anything, sir. Genetics could play a role, and most importantly, the most common ones are traumatic events, abuse, neglect, or loss of loved ones. According to our examination, we assume it is not genetics but the others that I have listed.”He nodded his head and then curled his hands into a tight ball.“So, moving forward, we would advise that she avoid loud noises or sudden movements which may trigger her anxiety attacks. Help her provide a calm environment and encourage her to express her feelings better. We will be following her treatment plan which includes medicati

“I am sorry to inform you that we lost the baby.”......Silence ensued as Leilani tilted her head and stared at the doctor for a few minutes before he moved closer to her and shook her gently.“Are you okay, ma’am?”“I… I didn’t get you,” she shook her head.Did he intend to pass that news to someone else?“We are sorry. We tried our…”“Hold on. What baby?” She cut him short, her brows pulling together.“What?”“You said I lost my baby. I don’t understand you,” she let out a dry chuckle.“You… you didn’t know that you were pregnant?”Leilani stiffened and widened her eyes. Pregnant?She had never been pregnant for once since her four years in marriage, so how could she have miscarried a baby she didn’t even have?“You are mistaken,” she shook her head.“I'm sorry, ma’am.”“No! There is no way I was… pregnant!” She cried out.“You are wrong with the test result. Run it again.”Her eyes darted as she shook her head at the piece of information that she had just received.There was no

She was trying her best not to look at the woman who sat on the couch, her hands on her belly, like she was announcing to her that she was indeed carrying a baby in her womb.But all of this was still confusing.She needed a proper explanation as to why her husband had brought another woman home and why her in-laws were not seeing any problem with it.Jonathan returned with a brown envelope in his hand and she swallowed hard when he stretched it at her.“What is…” she sniffed.“It is divorce documents, Leilani,” he said, confirming her doubts.He had settled beside the woman again and now the paper in the envelope was already in her hand and she was scanning through it with tears in her eyes.“W… why?” her voice broke.“Why?” Nancy, her mother-in-law answered instead and burst into laughter.Nancy might actually have been the root of everything that was going on in the house.She and Jonathan had started off pretty well.Although Nancy had never been in support of their union right fr

With shaky legs, Leilani staggered up the stairs, struggling to not burst into tears so those people laughing loudly behind her wouldn’t have leverage over her. Not like they didn’t already. It was as if the world she had known was crumbling away and it hurt more because there was absolutely nothing that she could do about it. Turning the knob of the door to her room, she breathed out and then entered. However, she had not entered fully before she caught the whiff of luggage settled in the corner of her room. Her matrimonial room. Their house had just three rooms, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were occupying two, leaving one for her and Jonathan. Even though she was aware of how the man was displeased with them sharing a room, they still had no other choice than to. He rarely comes home and sleeps in the bed with her anyway. “Her luggage is here… already,” she stated as if anyone was there to hear her. She dropped the document on the bed, walked to the bag

Tightening her grip around the traveling box that rested gently by her leg, Leilani swallowed hard as she bore her eyes into the gate, hoping that it would suddenly open and Jonathan would rush out and then usher her in while he begged her that he had made a terrible mistake.She could only dream, of course, but she wished.Tears streamed down her face, her sweaty palm fondled into a tight fist while the other held the handle of her box gently.After she had signed the document, forcefully, Maxwell, Jonathan’s sister had taken up the task to gather her loads and had surely made sure to leave out a lot of them, obviously.“The divorce will go through with or without you around. I have my way with it. You will get your alimony from my lawyer tomorrow,” he had said before his sister and mother walked her out of the house.Dumbfounded beyond comprehension, Leilani walked out of the house, trying as hard as she could to keep her tears in and not break down in front of these people.“Ugh, f

“L… Lorenzo?” She stuttered, closed her eyes for a bit, and then opened it again. She struggled to sit up gently while the man watched her with nothing but amusement in his eyes. Or was it not? His lips tugged gently into a soft smirk. Very gently that she almost wouldn’t see that. “How long have I been out?” “Twelve hours,” he glanced at his wristwatch and answered. She breathed heavily as she finally sat up properly and looked around. She was in a very huge ward. A VIP room, as they would call it and she wondered if this was not much for just fainting. The man was still looking at her, and finally, he pressed a button on his wheelchair and it wheeled him over to her bed. Now, she was staring directly at him. He had very distinct, cold features, but all that she could think of was how a man as fine as him could be confined to a wheelchair. He had piercing eyes which bore into her each time he looked at her and a sharp chiseled jawline that seemed to have been car

REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 43.
Leilani entered the premises, grinning from ears to ears, unable to contain her excitement.Mia had dropped her off and had promised to check up on her again.After they left the restaurant, they had gone to a mall to shop for plenty of female accessories which was Mia’s idea and no matter how much she had insisted on footing the bill, the lady had not answered her.“I brought you out, so I am covering our bills. Whenever you wish to do the same, take me out too.”Before they left the mall too, Mia had forcefully created a social media account for her, and had taken a picture of her.“Don’t upload it!” She pleaded to the lady who, after she edited the pictures, logged in to her gram account and then posted it.“Oops, my bad.”Leilani rolled her eyes, collected the phone from the lady, and then returned it to her bag, saying, “That is enough social media for the day!”Returning the greeting of the guards, and workers who greeted her, she stopped walking when Ella ran in her direction.

“Hold the fuck on, sister-in-law, let me get something straight. Your ex-husband’s wife?” Mia sat upright and widened her eyes.“Sister in law?” Lorraine rolled her eyes in disgust too.“Yes,” Leilani answered Mia.“But didn’t my mother say you left the marriage to marry my brother?”Leilani shrugged her shoulders off and then leaned backward.“Make me understand, Leilani, come on.”“What is hard to understand there? He brought another woman home on the day he divorced me.”“What?!” Mia exclaimed, not minding the attention she was pulling to them.“I thought it was you who did him dirty first, and not to lie, I cared less, okay? But that was what I thought. I mean, I like mean girls, not just a bitch,” she said, glancing at Lorraine.“You are not talking to me, are you?”“What if I am?”“Because, before you throw a stone, you should check if any of your relatives are not around. She is literally the same as me, so why are you acting like I am the bad person?”“The same person as you?

“What do you say about this place?” Mia asked Leilani who looked around, awkwardly.She had rarely been to fine, luxurious places like the restaurant they were in and she was finding it hard to comport herself.What if she made a mistake?Although she had been out with Lorenzo before, the comfort she felt around him was different from the one she felt with any other person.“This is a new restaurant. They just opened hence the amount of people that are here today,” she added.“But, I have heard from a friend that their dishes are nice, and they don’t have a no-picture policy.”“What is that?”“That means we can take a picture and then upload it on our socials later on.”“Oh…”“What is your handle?”“I am not… on any social media,” she shook her head carefully.Mia raised a brow and then laughed softly. “That is not possible.”“It is.”“There is no one who is not on the Gram especially.”“Well, you haven’t met me yet.”“Then, we have a lot to do today then.”“Like?”“Creating a gram ac

“NO WAY YOU AND MY BROTHER STAY IN SEPARATE ROOMS!”Mia hollered the moment she entered the room fully with Leilani.Leilani rolled her eyes, walked past the woman, and then dropped her phone on the bed.“Don’t be dramatic.”“Why do you have separate rooms?”“We sleep together though,” she answered and that was not a lie, right?“Oh, but you have your room separately too?”“Yes.”“Is that not weird?”“Do you wanna help me pick up my dress or evaluate my marital life?” She rolled her eyes.“Come on, I was just curious.”After Mia had arrived about thirty minutes earlier, together with Martha, they had taken a tour around the house, showing Leilani especially everywhere around the house.Afterward, she suggested that they go out.“Let’s find a better dress, please. You look too much like a married woman in that two-piece,” Mia had rolled her eyes and then forced her to take her to her room.Leilani had glanced at her husband who sat in the living room, like she was asking him for his pe

“I bet that woman thinks she is married to the most gentlest, and reserved man the country has ever known.”“You talk as though I am not,” Lorenzo snapped his brows together.“Because you are not! I am your best friend and yet, I still find you mysterious and unpredictable sometimes!”“How so?”“Are you really asking me? I had assumed that you would handle Jonathan and his family first, but you are starting from her bullies from when she was still a teen?”“Listen, my friend,” Lorenzo leaned forward.“Jonathan and his family will be receiving the same dose just as my family, because there is really not much difference between them. And do you wanna know what is more fun?”“What?”“The fact that Jonathan works for me. He works at one of my companies, do you know?”“Yeah, BENZO. I know.”“Exactly. He doesn’t even know that I own the company he would die for… and at the same time, he has started to embezzle some funds.”“What?!” Nicholas widened his eyes.“He is embezzling funds?!”“Yes.

“Are you sure you don’t want me in here with you?” He asked her carefully and she shook her head.They were already at the hospital, in the doctor's office when he asked her.Leilani had pleaded that he excused them while the doctor attended to her alone.“Yes, please,” she answered, her eyes pleading with him.She knew he could suddenly decide to be stubborn by insisting on waiting with her.“I think it would be better to attend to her alone also. It would help to assess her situation carefully, sir.”He stared at the woman for a while and then turned to look at Leilani. “Alright then, I will be with Nicholas while you are here, so if you need me, just place a call through, okay?”“Sure.”He looked at the doctor again, nodded his head at her, and then wheeled out of the office.After standing in front of the door for a while, he turned around and then made his way to the elevator.___“You really came!” Nicholas exclaimed as soon as the man wheeled in.“Why are you surprised?”“Beca
