REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 121.
“B… brother is Benzo?!” Mia exclaimed as she stopped in front of Leilani and then took her hands in hers.“That makes the two of us. I’m excited,” she sucked her teeth.“What? You… you didn’t know about it?” She asked, raising her brows.“I am finding out for the first time tonight just like every other person,” she shrugged.“B… but…” Mia cleared her throat.“Maybe he has his reasons for…”“Don’t take his side, Martha!”Mia and Leilani snapped.“Good, he’s coming. He has a lot of…”Leilani snatched her hands from Mia and then smacked, “I will head inside first.”Mia, with her mouth opened agape watched as the lady walked away and then shook her head.“She is so pissed.”“He should have told her, at least.”Mia creased her brows at Martha and then chuckled, “Were you not just taking his side?” “I just needed to make her calm down, of course.”“I think you only made it worse.”Lorenzo rushed to them and then panted, “Why didn’t you stop her?!”“Why should I?” “You are so…”“You are t

“But… Benzo is not one common name. I mean, I have heard it quite a lot in the past but I can’t quite remember where,” Leilani said as she stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in the bathroom robe.“Oh… yeah.”“What? You wanna say something?” She asked as she settled in front of the dressing table and then pulled forward her facial care routine.“Actually,” he started and sat upright.“What?” Leilani glanced at him through the mirror.“He works at my company.”“Who?”“Jonathan.”She parted her lips and then drew her brows together.“What?!”“So, the thing is, he works at my company. He recently got promoted to an executive, in fact.”“Lorenzo?”“I know what you’re thinking,” he raised his hands.“Trust me, you don’t.”“I have many companies to my name, you know? There’s Benzo electronics, pharmaceuticals, Architecture, mall… and a few like that, and he happens to work in one of them, Benzo Electronics.”“Why? I mean… why do you let him work for you?”“He has been a staff at the compan

“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

Leilani leaned back, chuckling dryly as she stared at the man, hoping that he would laugh at his own joke too.But, he was unfazed.His lips didn’t even move.His eyes scrutinized her face like he was reading every detail on it, and his hands were clasped together on his thighs.“Y… you’re serious,” she stated when there was still no change in his facial expression.“Marry you?!” She widened her eyes and he only shrugged his shoulders off.“You have no idea what you’re talking about,”She shook her head.And he probably does not.First, he was asking a total stranger to marry him! Second, she was just getting the fuck out of a fucking marriage!“I mean every word of mine, Leilani. Marry me, and I will help you enact punishment on everyone who has hurt you. I will…”“What punishment?” she cut him short, frowning.“F… for someone who is meeting me for the first time, you seem too informed about me. You sound as though you know me and everything that I have been through, but you don’t!

Arthur didn’t know he had staggered backward and the panicked murmurs from the others had snapped him back to reality.“Y… you…”He pointed his index finger at Lorenzo who looked really unbothered as he turned to look at his security team.“Are you ready, sir?” David asked, and he nodded his head.The men formed a proper barricade, and then began to push through the crowd, with Lorenzo, his wife and Nicholas trailing slowly with them.They kept waking, ignoring the crowds while Lorenzo moved over to Leilani, and then took her hand gently in his.She raised her head to look at him, sighed and he nodded his head at her, smiling softly.When the security team stopped moving, they stopped too and David who was leading moved over to him.“There are so many paparazzi outside,” he whispered in his ear.“Really?”“Yes. Literally all media companies are here.”He looked down at Leilani again and then leaned down, “Are you good?”“Yes.”“How about the back exit?” He asked David.“It is jammed t

“I am Lorenzo Byers, and I am the founder of the BENZO group of companies.”Agnes choked on the water she was drinking as she stood up gently from the couch with Aaron opposite her.“That is…”She coughed out loud, dropping the glass cup in her hand and not minding the way it shattered to the ground. She hit her chest and then coughed again.“That is…”“Lorenzo?” Aaron whispered, and then removed his medicated glasses from his eyes as if that was going to help him to see clearer.“That is Lorenzo?!” Agnes hollered and then widened her eyes.They had both settled in front of the Television to watch the event as they had hoped that Arthur would be receiving an award that night.“He is… Benzo?”“He can… walk?”Agnes and Aaron stuttered respectively.“This is wrong. There must be an error somewhere,” Agnes shook her head.But, Aaron’s reaction was different.He staggered to the big screen, touched it, and trailed his fingers down his son’s supposed legs.“He is standing!” He cried out an

David shook his head as his boss wouldn’t stop laughing and then shook his head.“Sir.”Lorenzo smacked and then exhaled. “All along… it was him.”“Boss.”“We suspected someone from the house, did we not?”“Yes, but certainly not Shane.”Lorenzo nodded his head in agreement and then dropped his head on the headrest, his eyes closed.He might have actually imagined it to be anyone, but never Shane.He thought he knew the man.He was reckless and sassy, but certainly not the type to commit arson or murder.Well, in the past.He had just assumed the man to be a jester as he used to derive joy in making fun of his condition by coming up with numerous ironies just to insult him.But never in his whole life had he thought that Shane would go as far as wanting to kill his own wife.“Boss.”“Yes?” He opened his eyes and then sat upright.“What do we do?”“Where is he?”“He is in the hall also,” he answered.Lorenzo nodded his head and then chuckled.“Give me your orders. What do you want me t

“Is that not… Enzo’s wife?”Shane chuckled dryly as he leaned in his seat and then nudged his brother gently.Arthur took his hand from the woman who sat beside him and then turned to look in the direction Shane pointed at.“No way.”“Look there. She is sitting with Nicholas.”Arthur squinted his brows and when he confirmed that it was truly the woman, he chuckled and then hissed.“Who is that?” The woman, Emily asked.Emily was his girlfriend and he had hoped that after the event was over, he would take her home and introduce her to his family.“Lorenzo’s wife.”“Your stepbrother?” She asked and he nodded his head.“Woah, she’s pretty,” she sucked her teeth.“I don’t see it.”“She is so pretty. She looks better in person.”“Whatever,” he rolled his eyes and then turned to look at Shane.“Why is she here though?”“Perhaps… She came out to cheer for Nicholas? No one needs to be told, we know he’s getting an award tonight again.”For the past five years, Nicholas had been receiving awar

“Are you ready?”Nicholas asked her and she nodded her head, taking a deep breath.“I don’t know what we’re doing, as Lorenzo wouldn’t say a word but, okay. I am ready.”“Don’t fret. It is nothing serious,” he shook his head and then curved his arm beside her.Leilani nodded her head and then breathed out again. “If you say so.”She linked her arm around his arm, and together, they walked to the press.The moment they sighted them, they all turned to look at them, flashing their lights at them which almost overwhelmed the woman.But, Nicholas was holding on to her tight as they walked down the red carpet.They kept walking, ignoring the literally provoking questions the press was asking till they walked in through the opened door of the hall.Leilani gasped softly as she entered the hall.It was the largest she had ever seen. Real or on the television. It was so bright too that it could blind a person, and the ornaments used to beautify the hall could not go unnoticed.Chandeliers hu

“Oh, how beautiful you are, Leilani!”Mia exclaimed as soon as she returned to the room and saw the woman standing in front of the dressing mirror.“Oh, how much you flatter me!” Leilani rolled her eyes and they both laughed.“I am dead serious, sis, you’re so gorgeous, Jesus!”“Uhm-hmm,” Leilani nodded her head, blushing.The make up artist moved over to her, did the final touch on her neck and then moved back.“You look like you walked out of a painting.”“That compliment beats it all,” Leilani groaned and Mia laughed.Mia scrutinized Leilani again and shook her head. “How did my brother get this designer? She is so good!”Leilani was wearing a fully beaded blue gown which flared from her waist and stopped above her knees. The V-neck of the dress was deep and was held up by two small spaghetti straps, but then there was also a drapey off-the-shoulder cap sleeveLeilani had first worried that the style would make her shoulders look huge, but now, with the pushup strapless bra that s

“Do you think he is going to show up at the event?”“Who?” Aaron asked after he drank from the glass cup and then picked up the serviette paper.“Benzo,” Arthur answered and then exhaled.“Are you still thinking about that person?”“Do you think he will show up?” He asked again.“I don’t know. He hasn’t shown up for once in over five years that he has been invited. Wonder if he ever got the awards, in fact.”“I heard no one even showed up in his place to receive his awards,” Shane butted in.“He is definitely trying not to leave any chance to be seen,” Aaron added.“What if he shows up and then considers you? You have been sending messages the longest, haven’t you?” Shane asked.Arthur nodded his head and then smacked. “I really wanna know who this person is.”“I thought he was found though. I heard someone claiming to be him.”“It was a lie. I went in search of the person and they were not real. Tch,” he breathed out in frustration and then grabbed the glass of water.“The event is i
