REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 42.
“Hold the fuck on, sister-in-law, let me get something straight. Your ex-husband’s wife?” Mia sat upright and widened her eyes.“Sister in law?” Lorraine rolled her eyes in disgust too.“Yes,” Leilani answered Mia.“But didn’t my mother say you left the marriage to marry my brother?”Leilani shrugged her shoulders off and then leaned backward.“Make me understand, Leilani, come on.”“What is hard to understand there? He brought another woman home on the day he divorced me.”“What?!” Mia exclaimed, not minding the attention she was pulling to them.“I thought it was you who did him dirty first, and not to lie, I cared less, okay? But that was what I thought. I mean, I like mean girls, not just a bitch,” she said, glancing at Lorraine.“You are not talking to me, are you?”“What if I am?”“Because, before you throw a stone, you should check if any of your relatives are not around. She is literally the same as me, so why are you acting like I am the bad person?”“The same person as you?

Leilani entered the premises, grinning from ears to ears, unable to contain her excitement.Mia had dropped her off and had promised to check up on her again.After they left the restaurant, they had gone to a mall to shop for plenty of female accessories which was Mia’s idea and no matter how much she had insisted on footing the bill, the lady had not answered her.“I brought you out, so I am covering our bills. Whenever you wish to do the same, take me out too.”Before they left the mall too, Mia had forcefully created a social media account for her, and had taken a picture of her.“Don’t upload it!” She pleaded to the lady who, after she edited the pictures, logged in to her gram account and then posted it.“Oops, my bad.”Leilani rolled her eyes, collected the phone from the lady, and then returned it to her bag, saying, “That is enough social media for the day!”Returning the greeting of the guards, and workers who greeted her, she stopped walking when Ella ran in her direction.

“Your ex-fiance?” Her brows snapped together.“I wouldn’t call her my fiance, though. We were just betrothed to each other.”When Leilani’s face didn’t change nor did she look pleased by his answer, he breathed out and then continued.“You remember my father saying he had someone arranged for me before I married you, remember?”“And?”“That is the lady.”“Okay… So, why did your ex-betrothal come here?”“Does it offend you?”“No. I am sorry for asking,” she shook her head, turned around, and then walked to the stairs.“Lani…”He shook his head.But she didn’t answer and kept ascending the stairs till she was out of sight.——-Entering the room, full of anger, Leilani dropped the bags on the bed, settled on the bed, and then laid on her back, breathing heavily.‘How could she even look at me that way?’‘What did I do to her?’She wouldn’t stop asking herself till she got pissed as the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.She sat upright, picked up her phone and then switched

Lorenzo stared at her, literally unfazed as the woman pulled back, her face totally flushed.He tugged his mouth to a smile, leaned down hurriedly, and then dropped another kiss on her lips, making her face more redder than they were.She totally looked so red like a tomato.“Why did you do that?!” She exclaimed, alarmed, and then moved back.“What did I do?” He asked, shrugging his shoulders off.“You just…” she swallowed and placed her index fingers on her lips.“Don’t try to turn the tables, Lani. You did it first, remember?”“That was because…” she cleared her throat and palmed her forehead.Not to lie, he was enjoying every bit of her agitation at the moment.She looked as though she had just made a terrible mistake and he couldn’t help but find the expressions on her face funny.“I was overwhelmed!” She exclaimed and then he burst into laughter.“What?” “It is not funny, Lorenzo. I was really overwhelmed.”“How so?”“It is not like I wanted to kiss you, okay? It is just like… u

“I would like to inform you that my patient, your wife, Mrs. Leilani Byers has been diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder.Lorenzo sat calmly as the doctor said and he nodded his head, urging her to continue.“I understand this might come as a concern, but be rest assured that my medical team is committed to providing the best medical care for her.”“What could have caused it?” He cleared his throat.“It could be anything, sir. Genetics could play a role, and most importantly, the most common ones are traumatic events, abuse, neglect, or loss of loved ones. According to our examination, we assume it is not genetics but the others that I have listed.”He nodded his head and then curled his hands into a tight ball.“So, moving forward, we would advise that she avoid loud noises or sudden movements which may trigger her anxiety attacks. Help her provide a calm environment and encourage her to express her feelings better. We will be following her treatment plan which includes medicati

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

“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 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

“Lorenzo!” Aaron hollered and then rushed towards the man.“I was just coming to see you!” He knelt down and then touched his legs gently like there were thorns around it which was preventing him from touching them well.But Lorenzo didn’t stand still, he walked past his father gently and then approached Shane, his face as hard as rock.“W… why are you coming in my direction?” Shane stuttered, moving backward.“Hi, brother,” Lorenzo tilted his head.“Someone stop this psycho from moving closer to me!” He snapped.“Why? Are you scared of me?” He asked when Shane’s back touched the wall, and he covered the space between them.“W… what are you doing?”Lorenzo tugged his lips into a smirk and then moved his hands from his pockets.“I know, brother.”“K… know what?” He asked, beads of sweat gathering on his forehead.“I know what you did,” he said, ever calmly.Shane swallowed the lump in his throat and then hurriedly wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.He was bluffing.He didn't

“I have things to take care of today. I will resume at the company tomorrow,” Lorenzo said as he buttoned up his wrist, his phone on loudspeaker and then dropped it on the table in front of him.“What do I do?”“You should get things in order. We are both resuming tomorrow. Release an official statement that I will be resuming tomorrow. Sort out the interview proposal that you must have received and pick up the best of them. You can do that much, right?”“Yes, sir.”“Good.”“Sir, how about the issue with Shane? You have not…”He cleared his throat, picked up his phone, and then glanced at his wife, who was still sleeping peacefully in the bed.“I will sort that out.”“When? We can’t let this drag out. We have all the evidence to apprehend him and…”“I will sort it out, David,” he cut him short and couldn’t miss the deep sigh he gave.“Don’t worry. I have it under control.”“Do you need me to go with you when you’re going?”Lorenzo chuckled and then shook his head like the man was goin

“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
