REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 30.
Leilani swallowed the lump in her throat as she turned back to look at Mia and then waved her hands at her, pouting gently.“Shit, I will fucking miss you, sis!” Mia exclaimed and rushed to Leilani.They pulled each other into a tight hug and Leilani breathed out.It had just been a week. She was not very close to the lady yet, but she felt safer around her than the others.“Whenever I come to visit you, just know that you are making me a meal. I should have had it since yesterday, but… things happened,” She chuckled.“Since when have they gotten so close?” Nicholas asked, his arms akimbo while he rested by his car and then glanced at Lorenzo who sat in his wheelchair beside him.“I am wondering the same too,” Lorenzo mumbled, exchanging glares with Arthur who stood across them, his hands in his pocket.“I thought you said she was not close with anyone.”“We are seeing the same thing for the first time, Nicho,” he hissed.After a while, Leilani moved back to them and then exhaled, “I

Leilani whined gently when the hands shaking her wouldn’t stop and then opened her eyes, stretching.“We have arrived, Leilani,” he whispered to her.She snapped her eyes open, sat upright, and then looked at the man who looked at her keenly from where he sat.Nicholas had gotten out of the car already, leaving just the two of them, so she looked around where they were, and then then nodded her head.“Are you okay?” He asked her.“Sure.”“Do you need help with your chair or…”“Nicholas will take care of it. Don’t worry.”She nodded her head, and then got out of the car gently, still feeling the man’s eyes on her.While she stood by the car, she raised her eyes to look at the woman who rushed over to them, and then the couple who ran from another direction, laughing.“Boss!” The couple chorused as they arrived at the car, and at that moment, Nicholas arrived with his chair and then helped him settle on it.Lorenzo raised his head to look at the couple who panted in front of him, and th

Leilani inhaled deeply the scent of Lavender that filled the entire room as she strolled in fully.Martha had escorted her to this room after Nicholas had helped Lorenzo to another room.The woman had left after she had told her to settle in her room and that her luggage would be brought in a jiffy.At first, Martha had queried Lorenzo, throwing him a dead glare, asking why he and his wife would use separate bedrooms.“God, we’re newlyweds, Martha. Stop poking your nose,” he groaned.“Which is one of the reasons you should be sharing a room. You are newlyweds!”Leilani knew so well that if it was another person, he would not have taken the question as a joke. No, maybe no one else would even have dared to ask him such a question.They were on a first-name basis too, so it explained that they were really close.She settled on the bed, laid her back, and then breathed out in relief.The room was scenting nice, the sheets were clean, everything was in place and she felt the need to fres

“You look like you have a lot of things to say,” he snapped her out of her thoughts and she shook her head.“No, not really. Just… how about the couple? Ella and…”“John?”“Yeah, John. Are they truly dating?”“Yes.”“And they work here?” She asked, a fleeting glance of critique appearing on her face.“They are good people.”“I never said otherwise,” she defended and he nodded his head in sarcasm.“Your face says otherwise though.”“Come on. It is just that… look at them. They both have tattoos. Both of them. The man has all over his arms and the woman too. I just… I am just thinking how they get to work with you.”“They are good people, and that is all there is to it, trust me. If they were not, you would never meet them here.”She nodded her head, agreeing with him, and then rubbed her palm against her thighs.“You should freshen up. Martha made dinner already, so let’s go eat.”“Hold on, will you keep doing this in front of her too? You two are close and I think it would be hard hid

Leilani, deep down, doubted if she would ever be able to grant the man’s favor.Not only was he even wrong about Lorenzo liking her so much or anything, but she knew she could never do so.He wouldn’t even open up to her. Till now, he had never told her the true reason why he decided to fake his disability and stay with his father.All he said was it was necessary and he was always careful to not go beyond that.Although the man was open to her. No, he made it seem that way.He would tell her to ask him anything and that he would answer but whenever she did, he would answer her in a very curt way.He was hiding more than he was letting her on, and she knew.He was tight-lipped, and would never say more than he was supposed to.For a person who knew literally everything about her, she knew nothing about him.And realizing that this man might forever remain mysterious to her, she breathed out, glanced at him as he had buried his head back in his phone, and then crossed her legs togethe

“What?” she widened her eyes and turned back swiftly to look at him.The man dipped his hand in his pocket, scanned her face for a while, and then chuckled.“What?” She forced a frown.“You acting surprised as if you do not want this.”“How?”“I know you don’t wanna be alone,” he said.She pouted, moaned gently, and then sniffed.“And your eyes have been screaming in different languages that I call you back.”“What?” She laughed unconsciously.“Will you sleep in my room?” He asked again.“Uhm…” she swallowed and picked on her fingers gently.“It is not like I can’t be alone, okay? I just…”“Will you stay in your room then?” He cut her short.“Hey!” She snapped and he laughed.“What?”“I mean… I was still talking.”“My bad. Go on.”“It is not like I don’t wanna stay alone… I just… I mean… I don’t wanna discomfort you though.”“I am not complaining.”She moved over to him, leaving just a few inches between them, and then said, her hands clutched to her chest. “You should have a couch in

Leilani squinted her eyes open gently, and when she realized the sleeping position she was in, she gasped and tried to pull away, but was unable to.Her head was placed gently on his chest and her hand was resting on his neck that she worried he might choke. But both of his hands were gently wrapped around her back that she felt so much at peace. She could feel his hot breath settling on her scalp and when he exhaled deeply, his throat reverberated.She bored her eyes into the man who was still sleeping soundly and then finally released the breath she didn’t know she was holding.This man was so unreal. His facial features, his handsomeness, including his body which was like a rock that she was resting on. Everything about him was so unreal that she could not help but wonder how a person could be so perfect.She glanced at his long lashes, and then his full, symmetrical lips.“Uhm…” The man cleared his throat and then stirred gently, still holding her safely in his arms, so she hurri

“I think my wife is dressing up for the whole of Los Angeles,” Lorenzo breathed out, leaned in his chair comfortably, and then shook his head.“It’s a woman’s thing. She will be out soon,”. Martha chucked.“Martha, she has gone up there to dress up since eleven.”“This is barely twelve, Enzo. You are complaining too much.”“Of course, you would take her side,” he rolled his eyes and then picked up his phone again.Finally, he heard the steps from the stairs and he raised his head hurriedly.The woman smiled softly as she descended the stairs and he tilted his head to watch her properly.She was wearing a wine two piece which top was turtleneck and sleeveless and he loved exactly how she looked.She carried a silver bag and then wore a low-heeled shoe to match, she had not gotten to where he was already, but he could perceive her cologne.“Did I keep you waiting?” She breathed out and then hurried over to him.“You should not run on the stairs,” he grunted.“I thought you would be angr

“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

“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

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
