“C’mon, mum. I thought you already forgave me” Reyona said as she chuckled and covered her mouth to muffle the sound.

“Of course, I forgave you. Who said I didn’t? That doesn’t mean I will forget anytime soon though. I can do both. Forgive you but not forget.” Gladys declared over the phone.

Reyona grinned at the mental image of the expression she knew her mom must have on at that moment.

“I am going to make it up to you, I promise. You will soon forget when you remember just how much you love me. Let’s not forget that I am your favourite daughter too.” Reyona added with a cheeky grin.

“Ah, at the moment I can declare without remorse that Toria is my favourite daughter. Yes, missy. You heard that right.”

“I am so sad,” Reyona said with a smile.

“Yes, it is quite obvious. I can feel your pain from here”, Gladys added with laughter, which was a replica of her daughter's.

After curbing her mirth, she said “Are you serious about making it up to me?”

“Of course, I am” Reyona answered since

    Mr Rakir turned out to be an agreeable person after all.Just a cautious businessperson who liked to know the nitty-gritty of what he was getting into before he took a step.He was also very traditional in his approach to business and believed his gut could never be wrong about someone.Business statistics aside, the man trusted his guts when dealing with someone.Reyona was very relieved that the oil magnate's guts agreed with her.She only wished her own guts would be calm enough to allow her to finish her meeting in peace.But, nope, she started feeling the need to ease herself in the middle of discussing the crucial details with the man.Though she had used the restroom before leaving the office, it felt like she had a gallon of water in there ready to rush out anytime soon.She swore beneath her breath as she firmly held it in to complete what she was saying.After that, she told Samantha to take over, quickly excused herself from the table, and headed to the restroom.Her eyes s

    Everything else stilled under the enormity of the pain that lanced through Reyona.“Now it's time to shut you up forever, bitch” Susan sneered nastily as she rushed towards Reyona with the jagged end of the mop raised.Shock borne off unexpected betrayal paralysed Reyona.Then her survival instinct kicked in as she saw the maniac aiming for her eyes with the pointy stake.She dodged at the last minute and had Susan stumbling past her.Susan smashed her face into the wall, howled and turned in rage to finish what she had started.She yowled in pain when Reyona viciously yanked her hair and slammed her head against the wall again.“You are going to kill me, you bitch! Let go!” Susan cried pitifully as her head started bleeding.“Oh, am I? I am sorry”Reyona said as she easily dislodged the crudely fashioned stake from Susan’s weakened hand.She turned her around and threw her hard to the floor as she said, “Pardon me for giving you a taste of your own medicine.”She dragged Susan back a

    The agent kept calling until Reyona picked it up.After explaining everything to him, he asked her to wait for him on the stage and Reyona agreed.She told Samantha to leave but the latter insisted on at least getting her aspirin and cold packs for her bruised hands before leaving.Reyona agreed to avoid further argument.She hardly had the breath for it anyway.She was beginning to think that the mop had done some major damage inside her after all.Not to mention the excruciating pain she was feeling from where she had hit her back against the sink.In truth, she ached from head to toe, yet she knew it was not time to fold yet.She had to see this through first.“I am really worried about you,” Samantha said as she came back from the pharmacy.She popped the aspirin for her and held the cold pack to her knuckles.“Are you sure you don’t want to go to a hospital? You look like you need it. I could call Phil if you want…”Reyona managed a pain-wracking smile as she said “Good God, no.

    She couldn’t do it.Reyona couldn’t believe there would be a day when something as easy as breathing would become a problem for her.Just as she had no idea that something as second nature as driving would become impossible for her.She soon found out how much her body could work against her will after she got behind the wheel that evening.She knew she had to go to the hospital.And that was the intention as she left the restaurant and all its discoveries behind.But then every single turn of the steering wheel robbed her of her breath, and she was soon breathing heavily and sweating profusely too.The company was closer to the restaurant, so she headed towards it, hoping she wouldn’t pass out while on the highway.She managed to get to the company and thought of calling Samantha after all.She dismissed the thought even before it formed.Her employees had closed for the day, and the night lights were coming on as she drove into the parking lot.One of the security men saw her sittin

    Reyona requested that she should be discharged.Though polite, the doctor denied her request.Yes, he understood the urgency of what she had to go do.Yes, he knew her and he believed that she wouldn’t endanger her health in any way.But the fact remained that she still needed to be taken care of.They were still awaiting her results too.Reyona had not wanted to use her personal doctor, who was known to Maxwell, to prevent the situation where the man might be inconvenienced by questioning later.Though she had Andrea’s number too, she had not called her for the same reason.Andrea was even closer to Maxwell than she was to her.But as she looked at the courteous yet resolute face of the doctor, she supposed she should have just called a doctor in after all.After gathering her strength and being sure that she could speak without the breathy quality that kept threading her voice as a result of tiredness, she faced the doctor.“I have something that I need to go do urgently. No, it can

    She had barely settled into her chair when she heard the sound of his car downstairs.Of course, it could have been anyone passing by, but somehow she just knew that was his Mustang.It was what he had driven the day they went out with the kids.Reyona berated herself for even noticing something like that.Just as she stemmed the lancing pain that had nothing to do with the wounds on her body.She adjusted the neckline of her shirt to be certain her neck bruises were well covered.By the time he knocked at her door, her props were in place.Just as her mask.“Yes, come in,” she called calmly and managed to look surprised as he came in.“Hi, what are you doing here?” she said with a smile.He went around to her seat and Reyona lifted her cheek as he leaned forward to kiss her.He gave her a look as he changed the angle of his head and kissed her on the cheek instead of the lips he had been aiming for.She smiled at him and gestured at one of the chairs in front of her as she looked bac

    Maxwell stopped in his stride and turned to her with a furrowed brow as he responded. “Susan? No, nothing at all. I know as much as you do. My men are still on it though, just as they are looking for him as well.”“Oh, okay,” Reyona answered easily.“Why are you suddenly asking that?” he asked as he approached her desk again.“Oh, you know. I just think that Allysyn’s birthday is tomorrow, and yes, we got her presents and all, but I think I know what she would have wanted the most tomorrow.”“What?”“To have her parents around to celebrate it with her, of course. She would have been so delighted. Erm, her mom just disappeared without leaving anything behind? I mean maybe she left a note, or she did something. Anything at all that we can read meaning to?”Maxwell inclined his head as he said “No, nothing at all. I heard they just couldn’t find her one morning.”“So, she did nothing? Nothing at all? Just disappeared?”“No, nothing…” he narrowed his gaze in thought as he asked, “Why do I

    “You know what happens to people who lie to me. Right, Maxie?”“Uhn?” Maxwell murmured incomprehensibly as he rubbed his hands on his face and sat up in bed.The voice registered as silence greeted his incoherent mumble.The phone ring had woken him from a troubled sleep he had only fallen into a few minutes ago.Maxwell removed the phone from his ear to look at the unrecognised number again.In his subconsciousness, he had automatically picked the call thinking it was Reyona.It would teach him to look closely at caller ID before picking up calls, drowsy state or not.Why was he calling him so early in the morning?Maxwell looked at the time on the phone and saw that it was 4: 37am.“Don,” he stated more than asked. The silence on the other end made him realise that Donald-turned-Serena, Aka Don, was waiting for a response to his first question. “Yeah, I know that,” Maxwell answered, as he instantly became fully awake.“Where is your step-sister, Maxie?” Maxwell got even more confu

    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'. 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
