REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 9.
Lorenzo moved back to his space, while the woman still cried and then typed on his phone.He knew what the woman needed at the moment was to empty her eyes and she was doing so already.He of all people knew how to feel after someone just tried to kill them.He knew, truly.He raised his head to look at his guard who walked in, stopped beside him, and then dropped the file on the table in front of him.After the man had excused himself from the space, he pushed aside the meal in front of them and then dropped the brown envelope on the table right in front of her.Leilani wiped off her tears, picked it up, and then opened it.When she saw the context of the document in the envelope, she raised her head to look at the man.“T… this…?”“It is a contract agreement.”“When did you manage to get all of this… ready?” she asked as she scrutinized the paper.It was addressed to her, Leilani Wheelers, and how the marriage was supposed to go on for just a year.“Can I have it?” he asked and she

Nicholas swallowed as he stared at the woman who stared at the file in her hand and then chuckled gently.“What are you worried about?”“W…worried? I am not?” she shook her head in defense.“I know you are, trust me.”She exhaled, returned the document in the envelope, and then started.“You and Lorenzo… you're friends right?”“Best friends, actually.”“Then you just know… the reason behind our… this situation.”“Enzo is a good person,’’ he said instead and she raised her head.“I know what you are worried about but trust me… he is a good person.”Leilani nodded her head and then forced a smile, “Thank you, Mr…”“Nicholas. You can call me Nick.”The door opened and Lorenzo wheeled out of the room with a man trailing behind her.“Thank you so much for today,’’ he shook hands with the man again and then turned to look at Leilani.Leilani stared at the ring that settled beautifully on his finger like it was made for his hands and then glanced at hers too.All through her marriage with Jo

Leilani shook her head and swallowed hard.Perhaps she was hallucinating.Or… maybe the drugs that were used on her the previous night were still in her system… if that was possible.Because… how the fuck was this man… this crippled man walking?!“Are you okay?” He asked, and then took a step closer to her.“Stop there!” She exclaimed unconsciously, pointing her fingers at him.“What?”“D… don’t come any closer!” She exclaimed and moved back.But he didn’t listen to her. He kept walking towards her and then asked. “Why?”“B… because… because you are fucking walking like it is not a big deal!” She screamed as her back touched the wall.“Oh… that?” He asked, covering the space between them.“That?”“It is not a big deal,” he stopped in front of her.“It is not? Y… you know that it is. I thought… I thought you were… crippled?” She said, looking down at his legs.“I am crippled,” he raised a brow.“But you are walking!” “And yes, I am.”He was making her feel crazy, not to lie.Standing

When the elevator opened, she trailed carefully behind Lorenzo who wheeled fully into the room and then swallowed hard when she met with the people who stood together, like they were expecting them.Lorenzo halted, and like a puppy, she stayed behind him.She had a strong feeling that people wouldn't like her.It was evident Lorenzo didn't get along with them, so what were the chances that they would like her?“There she is!” the lady from earlier, Mia, exclaimed, pointing her index finger at her.She bowed gently at the man who glared at her before he finally talked. “Do you care to tell us what is going on?”Instead, Lorenzo turned away from them and she breathed inwardly.This husband of hers was not going to make things any easier for her either.Regardless, she walked after him till they arrived at the table and when he gestured to her to settle beside him, she nodded her head and then did as told.She started, “W… why are you…”“I just asked you a question, Enzo!” the old man wh

“Enough, you too!” their father, Aaron snapped and they all fell into silence.But not Lorenzo, he laughed softly and then shook his head“Are you done with your food?” he asked Leilani.Done?!She could not even manage to swallow any at all.“Y...yes,” she answered.“It is time my wife and I retired to our room. We have had quite a long day, you see?”“No one is leaving this room till I am done. Over to you, miss, what do you want? Money? Properties? Tell me!”His tone was rather harsh and loud which made Leilani flinch in her seat unconsciously.“I… I…”“She is my wife and you will address her as such! Let's go inside, Leilani,” he wheeled his chair backward and then extended his hand for her to hold.Leilani gulped, her throat consistent with anxiety as she took the man’s hand.When her supposed mother-in-law stared at her from head to toe like she had dirt on her, she almost recoiled in shame. She slowly let go of Lorenzo’s hand, and then picked on her fingers gently.“Will you gi

Lorenzo sprang up, alerted, and then sat still as he tried to comprehend what was going on and the sound he was hearing.Hearing the muffled sound that was coming from the room that was opened slightly, he looked up at the wall clock and it was three in the morning.He stood up and then trailed carefully to the room.He pushed the door open and then entered gently, but the moment he saw the woman in the bed, he snapped his brows together and then rushed to her.She grabbed the hem of the cover so tightly as if her life depended on it, and she was shivering.She was shaking so badly that it scared him.“Leilani,” he whispered.But she didn’t answer, he leaned in closer to hear what she was saying.“M… my baby… please… my baby…. Help me…”“Leilani…” he dropped his hand on hers and then shook it gently.“My baby…” she dropped one of her hands on her lower belly and grabbed it tightly.“I am here, Leilani, open your eyes,” he shook her gently.When she didn’t answer and remained in her tr

“Brother!”“Brother!”The holler from Maxwell encircled the whole house and everyone rushed out of their rooms, including Lorraine.“God, it is barely nine in the morning!” Nancy, her mother hissed.“You all have to see this!” She exclaimed and moved over to her brother, her phone in her hand.“What is that?” He asked, collecting the phone from her.“Is that not… Lei… Leilani?” She stuttered.Since the last couple of days that Leilani had left the house, it had been pretty much forbidden to talk about her.They didn’t want to rile up the new wife, so they thought it was best if they didn’t talk about her at all.“What is this?” Jonathan snapped his brows together as he buried his eyes on the screen.“This is not… her, right?”“That is Leilani! She is the one!” Maxwell shouted.Nancy covered the space between them, snatched the phone, and then read the article.“She is married?!”“To the world-famous person, Lorenzo Byers!” Maxwell added loudly.“No, no, that is not possible! She can’t

As they both stepped out of the elevator, Leilani pushing Lorenzo out of the space, they met with the angry faces of the others.Aaron had a very angry expression on and he looked like he was going to burst any moment from then.“What is with this shit?” he asked, not sparing the woman who greeted him a glance.“Morning to you too, Father,” he said, and then wheeled away from them.“I demand that we talk properly, son. You can't walk out on me this time around,” he snapped.“Wheel, actually,” Shane corrected sarcastically.Leilani needed not to be told. She knew for a fact that amongst everyone in the house, Shane was one who found Lorenzo’s situation more fun.Just like the previous night, he had made fun of him knowingly, disguising it as mere words.But Lorenzo didn’t pay a mind, he answered his father regardless.“I can, actually.”“Lorenzo!” Aaron hollered and Leilani could see her new husband shaking his head like he was surrendering already and then he stopped wheeling.“Okay,

“I have heard that a lot of times,” she shook her head, giggling.“No, you really don’t understand me. I said you are so crazy.”“I know,” Mia shook her head again.“You go around telling me you wanna sleep with them?”“Oh, come on, don’t be an old man. I think you are hot and I wanna sleep with you. It is not something to…”“You should get going, please,” he cut her short.“I would only leave you alone if you agree to being married, or something.”The man looked down at the woman in front of him and he shook his head.He had never met someone as brazen as she was his whole life and he could not help but feel unsettled by her, actually.There was no way he had forgotten her.She was the first woman who had left such an impression and he just wouldn’t forget even if he wanted to.At first, he had no other choice than to laugh at her offer the last time she was around.He thought the woman was joking, or maybe nice by offering him a job from nowhere, but deep down, he knew the kind of w

Mia got out of the car stylishly, handed her car key to the security, and then rushed to the entrance after she had adjusted herself for the umpteenth time.Before she entered through the door that was held for her, she brought out her phone and a lip gloss, stared at her reflection on the screen, and then applied a bit of lip gloss again.Finally, she entered the restaurant, and then after she was attended to by the receptionist, she moved to her fixed seat which was closer to where she believed she could see the man.She settled in her seat, looking around for him, and when she didn’t see him in sight, she waved her hand at another waiter and he moved over to her.“Good afternoon, ma’am.”“Good. Get the hot waiter for me.”“Excuse me?”“I mean… get that waiter for me.”“Which one, please?”“Oh, he is not in sight, but there was one particular waiter here last week. He’s more finer than you, sorry, and he is extremely tall too. He is the owner here, he said.”“Ohhh…” the man drawled.

Leilani stepped out of the car gently as the man held the door for her, and then he bowed gently at her.“Thank you,” she muttered and then walked gently to the premises As she walked to the big glass door, the entrance of the art school, Leilani couldn’t help but take glances around. As she reached the glass door, someone opened it from behind, welcoming her in with a smile.The walls of the room were bright, well-illuminated, and filled with paintings assumed to be done by the alumni of the school.She spent about five minutes admiring the room, or even more but it still felt like it wasn't enough. She loved art so much, she couldn’t even hide it.Not at that moment.Oh, to finally be living in her dream!“You must be new here,” she heard an unfamiliar voice and then turned around swiftly.“Y… yeah, hi,” she blinked at the man who stood gracefully in front of her.He was fully suited up and she wondered if he worked here or if he was a student too."Hello, I’m Caleb," the young ma

They arrived home, and the driver hurriedly brought out Lorenzo’s wheelchair from the booth, helped him sit on it, and then moved away from him and his wife after he had bowed.“Where did you two love birds go so early this morning?” Came the voice of Martha and they both raised their heads to look at her.“Martha,” Leilani smiled.“And now, she smiles.”“What?”“You looked like your husband had been kidnapped a while back and had almost gone berserk,” she laughed.“Really?” Lorenzo raised his brows.“That is not true!” She defended and the man laughed gently.“She asked everyone in this perimeter where you were. It was as if she had received some threatening calls about you or something.”“Oh, Martha,” she rolled her eyes at the woman who wouldn’t stop talking and then smiled.“I was just worried, come on. It’s not really serious.”“Well, if you say so. Now, tell me, where did you go without informing anyone? All these while, I thought you were in the building.”“I had something to d

“So, take…” he said to her, and she turned to him to collect the card he handed in her direction.It was a card and she suspected it was for entry. This art school they were in was the biggest in the state, and maybe this man didn’t know that he was healing her inner child as the day passed.She collected it with shaky hands, stared at her name that was imprinted on it, Leilani Wheelers, and then nodded her head.“Do you wanna look around?” He asked her.“You may resume whenever you want, and classes start from twelve till three PM. Is that okay?”“Of course!” She exclaimed.He nodded his head and smiled unconsciously at the smile that was on the woman’s face.He actually might have never seen such a huge smile on her face before. She had never seemed so happy as she was at the moment.He couldn't help but savor the moment as he watched a smile spread across her cheeks as she took in everything.It makes him want to go through everything because of her.“My driver will accompany you,”

"God! I'm so sorry." Leilani stepped back just as quickly as she had when she leaned in.What the hell was this? Why does she keep getting into the same mistake with the man?This was not the first time and she could only blame herself for letting the second one happen.She had told herself that since the marriage was just based on her having her revenge on Jonathan, there was no reason to open her heart to another man.But here she was, kissing him. It was an accident, at least, it had to be. She had to convince herself.On the other hand, Lorenzo didn't know how to react either. He just stood there with an expression Leilani couldn't quite place.At this point it was almost impossible to tell if it was shock, amusement, or desire.But what Lorenzo was feeling on his part was surprise. The woman had literally beat herself for having kissed him the last time that he thought she never would do something like that again."I... uh... It's uhm– I didn't mean to," she said again like he di

Leilani stretched on the bed lazily, rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm as she sat up.She turned to the side of the bed and discovered that Lorenzo wasn't there.Leilani believed he was in the living room or somewhere around the house.That was her innocent thought until she picked up her phone and noticed she had missed six calls and three voice messages from Lorenzo.For him to have called this much, first, he wasn’t at home, and secondly, something had to be wrong.Leilani, whose mind had started flooding with lots of crazy thoughts, picked up her phone and called him back, ignoring the voice messages.She called him more than twice, but he didn’t pick up."Oh my God!" Leilani placed her hand on her head and got off the bed. She had no idea where Lorenzo was, and that scared her the most.Leilani put on her robe and headed downstairs to check if he was maybe somewhere around the perimeter and the call was just to invite her to join him.As the young lady walked down the st

“I… really didn’t think we would meet again,” Nancy smiled softly as she arrived at the table, and then settled gently before the woman.“Took you so long to arrive here,” she rolled her eyes and then cleared her throat.“There was traffic, Mrs. Byers. I apologize,” she settled in front of Agnes.The previous night, Agnes had called her that she wanted to meet her, and of course, she was more than happy to have received such news.After she had met with the woman almost two weeks ago and had told her about Leilani, what she had expected to see the very next day was an article regarding the new couple's divorce.At first, she assumed the people were trying to hide it as they were scared of what the public would say if they heard of the divorce.But, later, she saw pictures of Leilani and Lorenzo that were still circulating, so she knew the divorce didn’t happen.Her plan had failed.And she could only wonder why. She was certain she had done a great job slandering Leilani so the reason

Leilani kept watching as Lorenzo talked about how she was to start therapy and medication immediately and then went as far as the kind of food she would be consuming more.“Why are you doing this, really?” She breathed out.He raised his brows to look at her and then frowned, “Do what?”“You went to the hospital despite the fact that I have told you not to worry about the result.”“Exactly. Why should I listen to you?”“Because it is about me and I have the right to hoard the result, don’t I?”“I still don’t understand why you wanted to hide it, though. I knew already, even before I took you for the checkup. I suspected that you possibly had it. It is nothing now.”“But, these days…” she stood from the edge of the bed that she sat on and then walked over to him as he worked on the laptop on the couch.“It feels as though I am being too much. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate everything you are doing for me. But, because of me, you left your parent's place. Each time you keep going out
