REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. CHAPTER 8.
Nicholas couldn't miss the change in his friend’s facial expression after he dropped the call and then wheeled his chair.“Who is that?”“She just called,” he answered as he wheeled the chair to the door.Nicholas stood up, and hurried after his friend, adjusting his lab coat. “Who?”Lorenzo smacked his tongue as he wheeled out and then stopped for a moment, grabbing his phone.Nicholas waited while he dialed a number and when the person picked up, he said, “Find her. She is in trouble.”“Who is in trouble, Enzo?”Lorenzo raised his head to look at his friend and then tilted his head. “My fiance.”“N… no way?”“She has agreed to marry me,” he answered, and thenWheeled to the elevator.After Lorenzo had left Leilani’s ward about an hour ago, he had been in his friend’s office since then.Nicholas Cooper was his best friend and then the CEO of the hospital that he had brought Leilani to.While they had been friends for almost two decades, the man knew of every secret that he had been h

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

“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
