Reyona's Revenge Chp 174 - Unspoken Agreement
Reyona held the seven-year-old’s quivering body till the latter cried herself to sleep.Then she gingerly lay her on the bed and eased out of bed as Maxwell covered the girl’s body with her blanket.Jane came forward to meet them as she stood up from the beanbag she had pulled closer to Junior’s bed.“He fell asleep,” she said quietly.Maxwell inclined his head towards the door as Reyona moved closer to the boy’s sleeping form.“I am so sorry,” she whispered as she smoothed his hair away from his face.She pulled his blanket tightly around him, suspecting it would be at the other end of the bed before the night was over.She left the room with a set look on her face.Maxwell followed her out to the hallway, where Jane was waiting in the hallway.“Will she be fine?” she asked anxiously. “Do you want me to stay with them tonight?”“There will be no need for that.” Reyona said, then asked, “How much of that did you hear?”“I heard some of it, ma,” Jane said carefully.“Good,” Reyona said
Reyona's Revenge Chp 175 - Just Like Any Serial Killer
Reyona’s anger rose to a feverish point as she looked at the couple who were nonchalantly repeating the mantra “Our boys are good breeds”.The husband was not as outspoken as the wife, yet, like broken records, one echoed what the other said.“How can you even take what that troubled child said over what we told you?” The woman, who was oblivious to how close Reyona was to letting her have it, said to the associate commissioner.“We have always been very diligent in taking care of these children and never has anyone had such a complaint about us before.” the woman’s voice was rising by the moment. “Our boys are an example of what a good job we do with these kids. Nobody had ever had a complaint about them before. They are good kids. Top of their classes too.” With her gaze turned towards Reyona. “How dare…?”“How dare a child speak about a traumatic experience she had in your home where she was supposed to be protected? How dare she try to protect her brother from your good boys? Well
Reyona's Revenge Chp 176 - More Than Friends
In the car, Maxwell asked, “So, what do you think?”“I think they know about this. It is either that or they suspected the boys were into something like that. What I don't understand is why they would allow it or even try to cover them up. A child almost got killed for God's sake!”“Just my thoughts,” Maxwell said as he clipped his seat belt. “Those two definitely know something.”“Do you trust Han to do the right thing?”“He is a decent man, and he owes me a favour. He would do the right thing, or he would have me to contend with. Let’s give him twenty-four hours as promised,” he said as he started the car.“I think therapy would help her. We should get both of them into therapy. I know Junior seemed almost unbothered about it, but one can never tell about these things. If there is anything I have learned, it is that unpleasant memories tend to stay with kids more.”“You are right,” Maxwell said. “We can get a top children psychologist in the city. Someone who wouldn’t even mind work
Reyona's Revenge Chp 177 - I Think I Like You
“Hi,” Reyona said as she wondered how the girl must be feeling after having to share something she had thought she couldn’t share with anyone.Probably embarrassed. Reyona thought as she tried to picture what she might have felt if she had to explain such a thing to anyone.Though Reyona had seen what was on the sheet now, she asked “What do you have there?”Silence.Then the girl said “Puzzles. He wanted to come ride his horse while we waited for you, so I…” She completed her statement with a shrug.Reyona wanted to tell her that she didn’t have to justify things she did to anyone, but then she thought it was better that the girl was saying something at all than her usual clamming up.“Do you want help with that?” she asked when the girl scrunched up her face and tried to trace a pattern with her finger.Allysyn finally looked up at her as she shook her head and said “No, I will figure it out. I like to do this.” She closed the sheet as she spoke.“What else do you like to do? Maybe
Reyona's Revenge Chp 178 - Sibling's Logic
The afternoon started on a pleasant note as they arrived at the acclaimed Bombay Wok, a high-end Chinese restaurant in Kayooma. Reyona had heard of the restaurant being the best Chinese restaurant in the country, but she had never been there before. Just as Maxwell was parking in the sectioned parking lot, Junior was the first to exclaim. “Look! Look at that giant cat! Wow! Why does it have all that stuff? And he is waving at us!” Reyona smiled as she came face to face with the biggest Maneki-neko she had ever seen. The statue is otherwise known as the beckoning cat and is always like a figurine that the Chinese and Japanese put in their places of business for good luck. It was mostly placed on desktops or near the cashier, but this particular one was set on a pedestal at the forefront of the restaurant, almost like a guardian angel. “It is cute” Allysyn said as they came closer. “What is that written on its body?” Junior asked in confusion as he pointed at the 千万両 written in red
Reyona's Revenge Chp 179 - To See You Laugh
They requested that the first course be Chinese chicken meatballs, much to Junior’s delight.The sticky, yet savoury dish was an eye-opener for Reyona, and she wondered how much more she had been missing.It was garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, which did nothing to detract from the slightly spicy taste of the mouthwatering meal.After that, they had Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, Peking roast duck, Mapo tofu, chow mein and Wonton soup successively.By the time they rounded everything up with mango pudding, the pipa music that was trickling in from the room next room had risen in frenzy.Even Junior was silent, as they simply enjoyed the culture of another country through the food and music.By the time they were leaving, the attendants informed them that their private room was next to a shopping centre where they could get their children any Chinese paraphernalia and clothes they might want.Though Reyona felt a bit weird when the attendants assumed they were a fa
Reyona's Revenge Chp 180 - Smudging The Line
The ringing phone woke Reyona up.Without opening her eyes, she stretched her hands towards the direction of the sound.The phone stopped ringing just as her hands touched something warm.Her foggy mind was confused for a moment as she poked at the firm, warm…“Fleshy form?!” Reyona’s eyes popped open as she suddenly realised that she was not alone in bed.Not only was she not alone, but she was wrapped in his arms like…Didn't he say he was going to leave after she fell asleep?What the…Reyona lay still as she listened to his rhythmic breathing.She was half-tempted to give him a little accidental jab.Maybe that would knock some sense into him, she mused, even as she knew that she was not going to do it.As she tried to wriggle out of his arms, she suddenly froze when she felt a well-recognised budge cradling her ass.“Damn,” Reyona thought as her insides automatically reacted to his boner.She needed to get up as soon as possible.She did not consent to this.Having sex with him w
Reyona's Revenge Chp 181 - Every Child Deserves
Reyona quickly entered the bathroom so that his voice wouldn’t be heard over the phone. On second thought, she locked the bathroom door before she picked up the call. “Hi, Mom,” she said with a smile. “What is this, dear? What is going on? How did this even happen? How can you hide this from us? This can’t be true, can it?” Gladys Rochester asked anxiously over the phone. “Mom. Mom, please calm down. What are you talking about?” “Reyona Beatrice Dexter, don’t you have something to tell me? Why do you have to let us find out like this? What are you doing? Who are those kids, eh? Just tell me they are not who I think they are. Are they?!” “Mom…” Reyona moved her phone from her ear and she felt it vibrating with another call. She was surprised to see Samantha’s number. Samantha wouldn’t call her on a weekend unless it was something very urgent. Dread settled in Reyona’s bones as she thought of the coincidence. Her mum’s call. And now Samantha? Her mom asking about the kids. H

“.... I promise to love and cherish you for as long as we live and beyond. I will respect you and always remember that you are my partner before anyone else. I will put you and our family first in my decisions. You are mine in totality just as I am yours. Together we shall grow in loyalty, in abundance, in comradeship, in support and eternal love.

Reyona's Revenge Chp 301 - Bringer Of Light
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
Reyona's Revenge Chp 299 - Behind Us Forever
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's Revenge Chp 298 - Bliss Of Ignorance
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 Revenge Chp 297 - Shackles Of Loyalty
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
Reyona's Revenge Chp 296 - So Much More
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's Revenge Chp 295 - Can We Have Her?
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'. Thank you.”That had been her argument and everyone had agreed with her.Not after Toria had added that their dad could carry her.“Then it will be ‘float down the aisle'” she had said in jest.They all came to an agreement that the wedding preparations would start after she had given birth in about two months.They spent the night in the hotel, and they all visited The King’s Creek to pay obeisance to Grams before their parents’ and Toria's departure.Maxwell, Reyona and the kids will stay back in Boowag until the jet got back.Stefan and his co-pilot were to carry Gladys and Carlisle to their destinations before coming back for them.It would take Gladys home first, then make a stopover at Milan to drop Carlisle before coming back.Toria had a standby jet that had brought her to Boowag and Kayooma for the preparation of the surprise and all.Of
