REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 77.
Leilani groaned gently in her sleep and then tried to pull away as the pressure around her neck was too much and she could actually choke to death.She coughed gently and then opened her eyes.She was wrapped in Lorenzo’s embrace, and she wished for nothing more than to remain there.However, the incident of the previous night rushed her, and she closed her eyes again.She was fully aware and conscious of what they had done. Even when the man had asked her if she was sure she wanted it, she had urged him to continue.All this while, it had been taking everything in her to not succumb to the craving she was feeling for the man and yesterday, it had taken nothing but his scent to make her lose control.She opened her eyes again, and then gently raised her head to look at the man who slept peacefully and she sighed.This might actually be the first time she would see him sleeping so soundly as he was always waking before her.She glanced at his long lashes, and then dropped her eyes on h

“Are you okay?” He asked as she stood upright and then adjusted her clothes.“H… hi,” she stuttered.Lorenzo dropped his head to look at the woman whose face was totally red and she was trying hard to not meet with his gaze.He shook his head and then said. “Good morning.”“Yeah… morning,” she nodded her head.“Actually…” she sniffed, staring at the fingers that she was picking on.“I was going to remind you that Mia is still around so you should not come out till… she has left. You understand, right?”“Okay.”“Yeah,” she nodded her head.“So?” “Yeah, she is having hangover soup downstairs. Martha made it for her,” she said as the man had asked.“Okay.”“Yes.”“Good.”“Exactly,” she nodded her head and then whirled around.“Oh, just stay calm, woman,” he dropped his hands on her shoulder and then shook her gently.“What?”“Why are you reckless?”She finally looked up to meet with his eyes, pouted her lips, and then shook her head.“Nothing,” She shook her head and answered in a whisp

The room was unusually silent and Lorenzo wouldn’t stop stealing glances at the woman who sat across him, her face fully buried in her food.She didn’t even raise her head to look around or anything.He shook his head and resumed eating.After a while, Martha slammed her hands on the table gently and then breathed out.“What is going on? Do you two talk it out?”“What?” He asked.“The atmosphere between you two right now? You don’t wanna get me started. I know how it is usually cozy in the dining room here. So, tell me, is anything bothering you.”“No.”“Yes.”Leilani and Lorenzo Cho rushed respectively.“There is nothing, Martha,” Leilani glanced at the woman, and then Lorenzo.“There is, Martha. She is avoiding me.”“Oh, is she?”“Yes. First, look at where she sat. She’s not even talking at all, or looking at me or something.”“Did you do anything to her?”Leilani raised her head and their eyes met. She bit her lower lips and then shook her head at the man.“No,” he shook his head.

They both sat in silence for a few seconds, almost a few minutes in fact before Lorenzo asked, “So, you regret it?”“W… what? No!” she sprang up and waved her hands at him.Lorenzo leaned back comfortably at the confused woman and then shook his head. “So?”“Of everything, I do not regret it. I mean it!” she exclaimed when he would not stop nodding his head.“So?”She shook her head, exhaled, and then returned to her seat. “C…can we not talk about this, please?”“Lani?”“As much as I enjoyed it and do not regret it, it still does not change the fact that it should not have happened. I let my l… lust take the better of me.”Lorenzo tore his eyes from her and shook his head. It was never his intention to rush things with her.Even if it would take him several years, he didn’t mind, as long as she stayed with him.Seeing the woman beat herself up because of what happened almost made him blame himself too.But, he couldn’t.The previous night was fun.She was perfect, and every moment he

“So, the first competition which occurs only in the institutions takes place on the fifteenth of next month, and the first five winners will be participating in the main contest and represent the whole institution.”The man announced and then exited the class.While they all murmured, Leilani turned to Anna and then shook her head.“I don’t understand.”“It is a competition that happens every year. All art academies in the country will be participating,” she answered.“Uhm…” Leilani nodded her head, trying to understand better.“So, it is the institution’s responsibility to provide their five best students, hence the competition that will first occur next month.”“Oh, so after that, the winners will proceed to represent the school, yeah?”“Yes! You get it. And only three winners will be picked at the end of the day.”“From each institution?”“No. In total, there will only be three winners. I heard it is a real deal, though. Many would do anything to be in the contest. Participating in

“You really are talking about your wife, Leilani?” Nicholas asked again.Lorenzo leaned in his seat, shook his head, and then hissed, “How many wives do I have, Nich?”“How did she get tangled with them?”“You didn’t see the recent brouhaha she got in?”“When?” Nicholas rushed to the table, grabbed his phone and then browsed through it.“You’re late already if you didn’t see it. It has been taken down?”“Fuck, What happened?”“Tell me! I have been so occupied lately so I didn’t see it.”“Apparently, she attends the same art academy as Caleb and the man had dared fall for her. Even though he knew she was married, he asked her out regardless. She didn’t agree with him, and he picked up a fight. In public.”“That is dumb.”“It really is.”“So, you are worried they are gonna come after her?”“He suddenly returned to his family after a long time. I don’t trust him to not make any move. And do you know what is more disturbing?”“What?”“He is still in that academy. He went there today too.

The class finally ended and while Leilani packed her things, Caleb moved over to her table and Anna stood up instantly.“You are not about to start another drama, Caleb, just be on your fucking way this instant.”“Cool down, tigress,” he groaned and then dropped his hand on the table in front of the lady.Leilani didn’t raise her head still, she kept putting her brushes in the purse and the man didn’t say anything either till she was done.She finally raised her head after she had finished packing her things and then stood up.“Let’s go, Anna,” she flashed the lady a smile, totally ignoring the man’s presence.“Let’s talk,” he snatched his tongue.“I have nothing to say to you,” she hissed and moved away.As she approached the door, exiting the space, she ignored the people who had stopped just to witness what was about to happen again while Anna trailed behind her.“Fuck,” Caleb groaned from where he stood, dropping his hands in his pocket, and then removed a packet of cigars in his

Leilani sat upright when her stomach suddenly growled, indicating that she was hungry and then dropped the brush in her hand.It had been over a couple of hours since she arrived at her workspace and had started to work on a new project.She had eaten only a little during breakfast. She didn't take out any snacks or lunch from home either, and definitely, she was not going to eat out without Lorenzo or Mia around.Thinking of Lorenzo, she stood from where she sat and then walked over to the table where she had dropped her bag and then picked it up. She removed her phone and then stared at the home screen blankly for almost a minute.He hadn’t called her. Not even once.Her phone was only filled with notifications from the gram and she hissed out unconsciously.She should not be angry, right?She had asked for it, hadn’t she?She wanted this, no?She knew that, on a normal day, the man would have called to ask how she was doing.She breathed out in frustration and then returned to her

“Goodness, Leila!”Anna palmed her mouth and burst into tears the moment she looked through the glass and saw Leilani.“Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know it was so serious!” She cried.Martha watched as the lady continued to cry and after a while, she moved over to her and then patted her shoulder.“She has gotten much better, so, take it easy, okay?”“When can I see her?”“She just fell asleep, so, maybe when she is awake although we don’t know when because she has been sleeping so much.”“I can wait with you guys, right?”Martha shrugged her shoulders off and then moved away from the lady.Anna kept staring at Leilani from where she stood and then muttered incoherently.After a few moments, her phone rang and she removed it from her pocket almost immediately.It was Caleb again.Caleb had not stopped calling her since the day he announced to her of the woman’s condition.He kept calling her every hour to ask if she had gotten a hang of Leilani yet.She moved away from where she stood

“I should be there with her. You know that,” Lorenzo hissed for the umpteenth time, looking out of the window.“God, you’re so stubborn,” Mia hissed.“What?”“She is awake already. You saw that, didn’t you? It’s been three days and I haven’t seen you take a wink of sleep at all.”“I am okay.”“You just need to freshen up, okay? You will return to her afterward.”“Understood, but why are you following me too? Should you not be with her?”Mia swallowed and shook her head again.They left Leilani sleeping and besides, she wanted to see something else.She wanted to see her brother, Lorenzo, walk in front of her.“Nothing,” she rolled her eyes and then looked away.___The remaining journey home was so silent as the siblings didn’t utter any other words to each other and as they arrived at the gate, Lorenzo gasped at the lady that jumped in front of the car.“Who is that?!” Mia snapped.“That lady…” Lorenzo drew his brows together.“Do you know her?”He tilted his head as he tried to reme

“How is she now?” Lorenzo asked after Nicholas stepped out.The man has been in the ward with some other doctors with Leilani and then he breathed out.“She is quite unstable, I must confess. And with our evaluation, other than her physical trauma, she might develop some psychological trauma such as anxiety, PTSD, and emotional distress.”“B… but, she is still undergoing treatment for something like that. Remember?” his voice broke.“I know,” Nicholas nodded his head.“She will be fine, Enzo.”“You know that you have to tell me the truth, right? You must not hide anything from me… not regarding her.”“She is going to be alright, I assure you. We just need to help her manage her emotions better when she is conscious. She has returned to sleep and will be awake soon, okay?”He nodded his head and then sniffed.Perhaps the news regarding Peter had made him more scared and unstable.He had thought that if Peter could lose his life because of the same accident Leilani was in, then his wife

“Don! Killian!”Caleb hollered as he entered the house, and then looked around.“Don!” He hollered again.“Do—”“For fuck sake, Caleb!”Don hissed as he descended the stairs, and then Killian walked out of one of the empty rooms downstairs.“What are you doing here again?”Killian asked as he covered the space between them.A stick of weed, Canadian loud hung loosely in between his lips and he breathed out.“What do you want?” Don asked also as he got to where he stood.“I told you…!” He started shouting but soon lowered his voice.“I told you not to touch her!”“What are you…” Don shook his head, confused.“That woman. Leilani. I told you to leave her out of this!”“So?” Killian raised a brow.“So? Really? I remember telling you not to…”“Exactly, so what?!”“You set her workspace on fire!” He cried out.Don and Killian exchanged looks, shook their heads, and then walked away.“I am still talking.”Killian inhaled the smoke deeply before he exhaled and then turned to look at his brot

“This has transformed to bring an arson case,” the detective added to his statement.“Someone started a fire, on purpose?”“Yes, unfortunately. And with your permission, we would like to collect all the CCTV footage in the area. Since it is private property, I heard the footage goes to you.”Lorenzo shook his head and wheeled back gently, “Your job is done here.”“W… what?”“You have confirmed my doubts already, and that is more than enough. I can take care of things from here.”“E… excuse me, sir. This is my work and I would rather…”“Do you not hear a thing I said?” Lorenzo cut him short, his eyes broadening.“We need to find the source of the arson and whoever started it. You don’t intend to keep this under wraps, do you?”Lorenzo glanced at his friend and then shook his head.A while back when the detective had arrived, he had excused himself from the others and Nicholas had followed him.“Come on…” Nicholas mouthed to him to let the man do his work.“Alright. Do your thing.”“Sir

“Lorenzo!”Lorenzo raised his brows as his father arrived and then cleared his throat.“Hi.”“I heard what happened, God!”They had already arrived at Nicholas’s hospital and after they had adjusted Leilani in, they began the treatment instantly.“Yeah, sure.”He leaned down in front of his son, took his hands in his, and then shook his head.“I am sorry this happened. It hurts so much to hear this.”“Yeah, sure,” he nodded his head again.“Come on, Enzo. I mean this.”“Sure.”Aaron shook his head at his son’s stubbornness and then sniffed. “What is her condition right now? Is she getting better?”“Why have you come here, really?”“God forbid that I come to check on my daughter-in-law after such an accident occurs?” Aaron frowned.“Yes. You could have played deaf ears. You are quite good at that.”“Leilani is a good woman, and I owe this to her.”“Good, you say? Oh, please, father.”“This is not even a time to pick a fight, Enzo. Set your priorities straight.”“Right. My priorities. S

“Enzo!” Lorenzo breathed out in relief as his friend arrived and rushed over to him.“God, Nicholas.”“What is the update now?” He patted his arm and then moved over to the door which he believed Leilani was in.He peeped through the glass, swallowed hard, and then shook his head.“Would you meet with the doctor first?”“Yeah, sure. Let’s do that first.”He moved away from the door and then returned to his friend.“Thank you.”Nicholas nodded his head and then hurried away.Almost a few moments after the man was out of the space, Martha rushed in. Together with Ella and her boyfriend, John.“Enzo!” Martha cried out as she got to his side.“Martha.”The woman leaned down to hug him and then patted his shoulders.“How did this happen? Martin told us!”“God, I don’t know either,” he shook his head and glanced at the door.“I suddenly received a call from Martins. I still don’t understand how this could have happened.”“So, how is she now? Is she responding to treatment?”“It’s been seve

“I am going to kill whoever did this.”Lorenzo shook his head, his fists still clenched tightly.“She will be fine,” Mia shook her head, as she sat across Lorenzo.Lorenzo stared at the woman who looked like her eyes could fall out if she tried to cry anymore.Her face was swollen and her eyes looked like they were about to come off their socket.“Yeah,” he nodded his head and then looked away.How could a fire have taken place?How could the workspace have caught fire, and while she was there especially?Lorenzo believed strongly that this was no accident.He knew for certain that his wife was indeed targeted before this happened.He was going to kill everybody who had a hand in this.Whoever they were, whatever position they held, no matter their number, he was going to make sure they didn’t live another day to tell the story.He was going to wipe them off the earth.He was going to…“Loosen up, Enzo,” Mia breathed out, snapping him out of his thoughts.He didn’t answer and only sta

“The workshop is on fire!” The man repeated, crying.Instantly, Lorenzo felt his blood dry up and a wave of chill surged through him, he shivered as his eyes dilated.Not for any other reason, but because his wife, Leilani was in that building.“W… where is my wife?” He asked, stuttering.“S… she is still in there. Peter just entered to see if he could rescue her. The firefighters are on their way too and…”“Drive,” Lorenzo hit the back of his driver’s seat, rumbling.“Yes, sir.”“With the highest speed possible, don’t delay!” He hollered.“Y… yes sir!”“What is happening, brother? You are scaring me!” Mia cried out.Lorenzo didn’t answer and pulled his necktie from his neck, feeling so suffocated.He wished he could fly over there right now, not to lie.He wished there was some kind of superpower that would make him teleport there.Driving at the highest pace, he was certain they would arrive there in ten minutes, but a lot could have happened in those minutes and this stressed him m
