“He said you tried to seduce him.”

“What? That bastard! I am going to kill him!”

"Toria,” Reyona called breathily.

Toria bottled up her anger for the moment as she looked down at Reyona, where she was urinating.

Even though Maxwell had provided a wheelchair and Toria had been able to help Reyona from the wheelchair to the toilet bowl without much issue, her sister was out of breath by the time she sank onto the toilet seat.

She looked pale to Toria.

“Are you fine?” Toria asked Reyona in concern.

Reyona, who had momentarily closed her eyes, opened them and said, “Yes, I am okay. I just don’t like this feeling of helplessness. The fact that you two are fighting is not helping as well.”

“That bastard caused all this,” Toria muttered.

"Toria,” Reyona called in a disapproving tone. “I thought you used to like him.”

“I have never really liked that bastard. I just tolerated him because I knew you loved him.”

Reyona looked at her sister in surprise. Then she sighed again as she asked, “I do n

    Thomas was furious that things had not been as simple as he had thought they would be. When he was thinking of his plans earlier, he had thought he would simply persuade Reyona that they should go over to his mom’s place till she got better. As always, she believed him when he told her that Maxwell had an interest in her. All it took to nail that home was the clip that was circulating a few days ago about Maxwell looking all undignified at the scene of the fire while he yelled at the firemen, declaring Reyona his woman. Thomas had not needed any other evidence on that end. Convincing Reyona of her sister’s betrayal was something entirely different. Even though Reyona didn’t outright disagree with him, Thomas was sure that she did not really believe him. “The fact that she still let the bitch hang around her says it all,” he thought bitterly If only that horse-face doctor had backed him up and allowed him to take Reyona away. When he had her away from all these hovering hawks,

    “Please don’t do this to me. You can’t do this to me. This is not fair!” Ruth Lanoth declared in a pitiful voice as she waved the crinkling paper in her hand.The Quit Notice written on the letter was bold enough for anyone standing close to see.When Ruth noticed that her neighbours were stylishly coming out to the porches of their bungalows to see what was going on, she adjusted her stance, lowered her voice, and pleaded with the agent, who stood with a stoic expression on his face.“Tell Theodore that he can’t just do this to us. My husband first leased this place from his father before him. I have also been renewing the lease with Theodore. He just can’t do this to me now!”“Well, I sympathise with you, ma’am, but it is no news that your lease expired two months ago. I think Mr. Sawyer has been very generous with you. No other person on this land has had that privilege. Now you have overused that privilege, ma’am. It is time to go.”“You know what? I will call him myself. I will e

    It had been a thing of great shame for Ruth when all the mess of Thomas and Reyona started circulating. When Reyona’s scandal started, she had been very vocal in telling anyone who would listen that such a shameless woman had deceived her son. She became a mini-celebrity in the new club, where she had hardly gained any recognition since she joined. Then, when the tide turned, those who had started getting close to her because of her fabricated lies quietly distanced themselves from her. Her neighbours remembered how she had raised her nose at them and they all decided that if she could say all those horrible lies about her good daughter-in-law, who was always bringing things for her, then she could say anything about them. The book club declared that someone like her was no good to their pristine gathering. They kicked her out without remorse or a refund of the $5,000 membership fee she had paid. Looking back on that exorbitant amount of money and what it could have done for her

    Thomas disconnected his mom’s call again with annoyance.“Why can’t she just be patient for heaven’s sake?” he wondered in anger. Truly, he had told her that he would give her some money when he got back from where he was going, but he was not back yet.Was he?He had not bothered to tell her where he was going.He doubted that she would have approved of it if she knew.She had begun to grow some annoying conscience about him recently.She might have stopped him from going but after he got what he wanted and she was reaping the benefits, he was sure that she wouldn’t mind.Especially when he got her some new clothes and some imitation jewellery to match.Yes, she would ease off on his case so there was no need to pick up her call now.Now was the time to focus on his game plan.He looked over at the woman, who had now laid the baby in her play pen and was cooing to her.Thomas tried to think his plan through but he knew there was no time for that.They would all be back soon, and the

    Thrown out of the mansion like a piece of trash, Thomas picked himself off the floor and glared at the stern-looking men standing in front of the house.That rich bastard had gone back inside.“Probably gone to think of how he was going to fuck that bitch!” Thomas thought in fury.When one of the men took a menacing step forward, Thomas quickly turned around and hurried towards his car.The car which wouldn’t get the refilled AC gas as soon as Thomas had thought when he drove up that driveway that morning.He couldn’t believe how drastically things had turned so fast.He had thought he couldn’t lose this time for sure, yet here he was leaving with nothing!Again!That bitch and her goddamn family had managed to pull a fast one on him again!Let’s not forget her fucking knight in goddamn shining armour too.Although Thomas wouldn’t admit it to anyone, he was relieved that he was leaving with his body intact after all.When Maxwell had stepped towards him as they dragged him out of the

    Still badly shaken and somewhat dazed, Old Cliff stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz that took him home.Mary, who was waiting anxiously for her husband on their porch, had already stood up when she saw the Benz coming towards their house.Her gaze moved from her husband to the young man coming outside from the driver’s side.“Cliff, what…?”As if he had just realised where he was, Old Cliff looked up sharply at the sound of his wife’s voice.“Mary! Oh, sweet God! Mary, ah!” A movement behind his wife caught his gaze as she rushed down the porch steps.As if Cliff had seen a ghost, his eyes widened and his hand shook as he pointed at the clueless children who were seated with Mary before the car arrived. “These poor kids. Oh, what will we…?”“Cliff!” Mary spoke a bit urgently as she reached her husband and held his forearms, so he could look at her.Neighbours who had heard Cliff’s exclamation had started coming out of their homes.After all, they had all been waiting for the news from t

    “There is one more thing I have to share, sir,” Lawyer Gibson said as he turned to face Maxwell.He closed his car and moved closer to Maxwell.Maxwell gave him a sceptical look as he wondered what else could be there apart from what the man had shared inside.Lawyer Gibson had presented the evidence of Reyona’s divorce, including the pictures of Thomas's assaults, the letter, and the video clip of the sessions that Reyona had in Gibson’s office.By the time he was done, even a two-year-old would have been convinced that Reyona was truly the one who instigated the divorce proceedings.Though Maxwell was the one who had asked Gibson to come over with all the necessary documents, by the end of everything, he was not sure if it was the best thing to do.Yes, it had fulfilled the intended purpose and one could see that even though Reyona still couldn’t remember all those things happening, she was convinced of their truth.The problem was that while Reyona and the others had had their eyes

    Reyona woke up the next day without the headache that had been her constant companion. Nor did she feel the panic of helplessness that had been accompanying her since she woke up. Every time she slept and woke up, she had this feeling that was akin to a panic attack as she tried to figure out where she was and how she had gotten there. Slowly, it would pass, but it was always there. But the day after the lawyer came, she did not feel the helplessness of her loss of memory as acutely as she had been feeling it earlier. Reyona felt a slight weight at her side and she smiled as she turned her head gingerly to that side. Toria was sleeping as Toria slept. One of her legs was on the side of the bed, while her head was close to Reyona’s stomach and her arms were spread out over the bed. How she had managed to get into that position on the huge bed was beyond Reyona. She was amazed that her sister had somehow steered clear of her injured legs, even in sleep. Sleeping with Toria mean

    The past month had been the most heart-filling one for Reyona.She watched as Allysyn lolled Sophie's bassinet while showing her something in the picture book she had in her hand.Meanwhile, Junior jiggled the rattle above Lucas to the delight of the baby and the hopping dog.An inexplicable bliss filled her at the thought that these belonged to her.These beautiful blessings that had been bestowed upon her when she least expected them were a solid part of her story.Reyona leaned back in her chair with a big smile on her face as she reached for her drink.“Rey, you are glowing. I mean, you are literally glowing. You should see your face right now. Hold on.”Toria quickly took a few snaps with her phone before turning the phone around to face Reyona.Reyona smiled as she looked at the pictures while sipping her mimosa.Although she couldn't see herself literally glowing as Toria had said, she loved what she saw.The woman in the picture looked…fulfilled.Long gone was the anxious, sad

    Two Months Later“Does this mean we will have to call you Mum and Dad now?” Allysyn asked in a solemn tone.Reyona looked at Maxwell with a smile before responding to Allysyn.“It means we are forever your family now. It means we have got you forever. In as much as you do not forget that, what you call us doesn't matter.”Although she knew how beautiful it would be to hear them use those words.“I am Thomas Junior Rohan?” Junior asked with his head tilted after he pronounced what he had been using his hand to trail in spelling.“Do you like being Junior Rohan?” Reyona asked with a smile.He looked thoughtful for about ten seconds before saying, “I love it.” To Maxwell, he said, “Does this mean I get to drive your car now?”Reyona and Maxwell laughed as Allysyn rolled her eyes.Reyona sucked in her breath as the laughter waned.“Well, maybe in the future, if you've been very good, of course. But not yet.”“Aww,” Junior said with a pout. Then he brightened in the next second. “I will be

    The call was from his head of security.Reyona listened to his terse response to the person on the call.Then, just as he took the turn towards his estate, she felt her phone buzz.She frowned as she saw that it was a message from Maxwell.“We have a guest,” it says.She looked at the back of his head as she wondered why he couldn't just say that directly instead of sending it as a message.She was about to ask him who it was when she looked beyond the windscreen and saw the police cruiser.Her heart kicked against her rib and she looked downwards to check if the even-breathing Allysyn had slept off or something.“Look, Max! The police!” Junior shouted excitedly as he pointed at the spot where the police officer was just turning away from the man he was speaking to, the head of security.Allysyn's lax body went taut as she jerked upward, looked in the direction that Junior was pointing at, and then back at Reyona.She had a mixture of fear, question and uncertainty in her face.Reyona

    Reyona and Maxwell went together to take the kids from school that day.Despite their fears that some unrelenting reporters might have decided to call them about what happened or ambush them for an interview about what they felt about Thomas's death, nothing of such happened.The school was also free of any lurking reporters or paparazzi.It was either they had decided that Thomas's death was not as worthy of news as his scandal had been, or they were still jeering up to blast the family with all they got later.Whatever it was, they were glad as they waited in silence in front of the school for closing time.Soon enough, school was over for the day.Maxwell came out as the students came out en masse.Soon enough, they saw Allysyn and Junior.Junior was skipping alongside Allysyn while dragging his backpack along and shouting some words at a friend who was going towards another car parked close by.He was being his jovial self as he waved hard at the friend and asked him not to forget

    Reyona's head jerked upward as she heard Maxwell's voice.Then she looked sideways when she heard a growling sound.Jerking his head from Reyona to Maxwell, Skippy's pupils had dilated so much that they almost covered his entire eyes.His growl continued as he looked confused about where he should escape.Reyona realised what was going on as she saw Maxwell standing at the entrance, blocking his escape route.He felt cornered!She realised as the dog backed away while his growl increased in pitch.“Maxwell, move,” she said urgently, and he automatically stepped aside.The dog hopped past him in a flash.The dog kept going without stopping at all.Maxwell shook his head and went to Reyona. “What was that about?” He asked in an incredulous voice.“We were building a friendship,” Reyona said with a pout.“That was friendship?” Maxwell asked in disbelief.“Well, we were about to. Then you…do you think they do therapy for dogs?” She asked in contemplation.Maxwell started chuckling, “Ah, a

    The soothing sound of the water reminded Reyona of the brook that ran through their homes in Bellevue Hill.She felt completely blissful in the oasis that Maxwell had surprised her with.It was exactly a replica of the one in her home in Sydney.After their dinner that night, Reyona was still pretending to be miffed at him because he wouldn't tell her if he really was the one who donated to the orphanage she had opened in her grandmother's name.Then, as if he didn't notice, he told her to check out something.“I am still mad at you,” She had said as she folded her arms above her belly and gave him a mutinous look.“It is a good thing that you are a versatile woman then. You could be mad at me and still come check this out. You will be glad you did. I promise.” He said innocently.Then, just as Reyona pretended she had not made up her mind yet, he swept her off her feet.How can he still carry her so effortlessly? She wondered as she squealed “Maxwell!”That was the first time the pap

    Reyona had no intention of having the wedding while she was still pregnant.“It is called ‘walk down the aisle’, not waddle down the aisle'.
