All Chapters of REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

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

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

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!

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

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
