REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

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

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

As they both stepped out of the elevator, Leilani pushing Lorenzo out of the space, they met with the angry faces of the others.Aaron had a very angry expression on and he looked like he was going to burst any moment from then.“What is with this shit?” he asked, not sparing the woman who greeted him a glance.“Morning to you too, Father,” he said, and then wheeled away from them.“I demand that we talk properly, son. You can't walk out on me this time around,” he snapped.“Wheel, actually,” Shane corrected sarcastically.Leilani needed not to be told. She knew for a fact that amongst everyone in the house, Shane was one who found Lorenzo’s situation more fun.Just like the previous night, he had made fun of him knowingly, disguising it as mere words.But Lorenzo didn’t pay a mind, he answered his father regardless.“I can, actually.”“Lorenzo!” Aaron hollered and Leilani could see her new husband shaking his head like he was surrendering already and then he stopped wheeling.“Okay,

Leilani wished, so deeply and inwardly, that the floor could part into two and then swallow her as she stood before these two people.She knew for sure that their path was still going to cross, but the last thing she wanted at this moment especially was to meet just a few days after they chased her out of the house.Seeing the face of the man she had loved for four years again, the moments of agony in that house came crashing down on her and she hurriedly curled her fist into a tight ball.She must never show them how helpless she felt at the moment.She must never show them that their presence makes her stomach clench in pain.Struggling to keep herself focused and unbothered, her eyes dropped on the plaster that was still on Lorraine’s jaw.The place where she had slashed herself but had framed her for it.God, she wished Lorenzo was here!The man would have taken it upon himself to do all the talking!His presence alone would have made her feel unalone and better.Her eyes darted a

“Are you angry?” Jonathan asked as they entered the house.All through their journey in the car back home, Lorraine had maintained silence and had not even exchanged a glance with him.Entering the house, he asked her and she scoffed, turning to look at him.“Am I angry?” “You fucking stood still back there while that man insulted us! And now you ask if I am angry?”“What is going on?” Nancy walked out of her room.“What would you have me do, come on?”“Really? It was not even like he was entirely wrong! You have refused to marry me legally ever since you have divorced her. You kept giving ridiculous excuses that you didn’t want to rush things as you just left a marriage and it would not look good for me, but look at her! Did you see her back there?! She fucking married another person a day after she left and she does not look like she was regretting shit at all!”“You know I am doing this for you. For us. You are taking this way too personally.”“For me? Tell me how.”“I don’t want
