REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 56.
“You’re really going to hang it there?” Leilani drew her brows as she watched her husband hang the frame on the wall across the bed and then shook her head.“We will see it every morning when we wake up,” he chuckled. “I don’t think I can stand seeing this thing when I wake up every morning,” she shook her head.He turned around after the painting was completely hung on the wall and then laughed gently. “What?”“I think I will be waking up every morning, pissed!”“Then, let it be your cue to do better,” he said.“Of course, I would. But, didn’t you say that I could stop doing this and just come home?”“And?”“And that means, I can suddenly decide not to do this again, right?”He bore his eyes and she smiled softly, knowing that he was going to say yes, and sweet talk her more.“My wife, I am sorry, but the man I was a few seconds back is not the man I am now. So, get your head in the game, okay?”“God, you are so two-faced!” She exclaimed and the man burst into laughter.“What?!” He

“Hold the fuck on, what is this?!” Mia exclaimed as they got out of the car and then walked to the gallery.“It is for my… painting,” she answered unsurely.Should she not have brought the woman here?Should she have informed Lorenzo first?“You paint?”Leilani shrugged her shoulders off as she entered fully, ushering the woman in.“Yes, and I have started taking classes to hone my skills more.”“So, this space is yours too?”“Lorenzo presented it to me.”Mia watched Leilani for a while, and then moved away, her eyes scrutinizing every bit of detail in the room, from the canvas to the brushes.“What is wrong?”“My brother is about to go berserk.”“Who? Lorenzo?”“No, Shane!”“I don’t… understand.”“I am not really certain as I wasn’t interested in the gist back then but after Enzo’s accident, Shane asked that Lorenzo give him the warehouse that was near his house.”“This one?”“Yes. I made my findings and it was this one.”For someone who was not really interested in the gist, she kn

Leilani dropped the brush, raised her brows and then sat upright before she turned her head to look around.She had been feeling, for a while, that someone was watching her, and she had even gone outside to check.It was almost eight in the night, and she had spent more time than planned.“Who is there?” She asked softly, still looking around.When she didn’t hear any response, she resumed her work, humming softly.Maybe it was all in her head that someone was watching her.Her guard was right out there, so there was no way anyone was there.Lorenzo was really thoughtful while he set up this place for her.Although it was dark, she wouldn’t know as the room was so bright that she could see the details of what she was doing and each stroke that her brush made.That was one of the reasons she first lost track of time. When she first checked the time, it was just Seven pm and she had planned to rush what she was doing so that she could get going.Now, it was almost eight and she was rea

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

“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

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

“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

“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

“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
