Reyona's Revenge Chp 196 - Signing Her Death Warrant
“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
Reyona's Revenge Chp 197 - Foolproof Contraceptive
She couldn’t sleep.It didn’t matter how many times they tried to convince her that she needed to.“Please try to get some sleep” the doctor had said. “Consider your recovery and your condition.”Her condition! Ha!She was certain of it.Reyona was sure that there had been a mistake somewhere.There must have been a mistake with the samples, and they had handed her the wrong result.Yes, she could see her name on the result, and the doctor could sound as confident as he wanted for all she cared.They were wrong, and she was sure they would come in anytime soon to prove her right.Despite the doctor’s seeming conviction, Reyona had told them to do the blood HCG test.Everyone knew that urine tests are not so reliable, right?She turned over again on the bed and wished the damned pain in her back would ease up enough for her to get down from the bed and pace as she wanted to.But that would mean she was anxious, wouldn’t it?It would mean she actually believed what they said.But she di

She did not want to accept it.She was not supposed to accept it.Yet the evidence was clear.As the gynaecologist explained how it was possible for even the most foolproof birth control to have a loophole, Reyona simply nodded and stared.Her mind was racing with a thousand and one thoughts.“It is very rare…”Pregnant. She was pregnant.“...1 out of 100…”She will be a mother. Somebody's mother.“Ma'am. Are you with me?”Reyona looked at the woman staring at her in inquiry.She saw Dr. Romano was looking at her with his typical passive face.Tears glistened in her eyes as she looked over at the concerned-looking Killian.“You will be late for your exam,” she said simply.Killian smiled and said “I live nearby. I can still get home in time for it.”“Then you need to go then,” Reyona said.“You are not thinking of leaving again, are you?” Nurse Killian asked with a smile, reminding her of what she had said earlier.Reyona cradled her hand against her stomach and said “No, I am not. Th

“Make sure that no one goes in there” “Yes, sir” his head of security answered instantly.Maxwell saw the guard that had hit the curb hard when the van drove out.What was the idiot doing standing there when he should be getting checked?“You are hurt,” Maxwell stated tersely.The man looked at him, then looked at the security head as he said “No, sir. I am fine.” “Is that so?” Maxwell said as he moved closer to him and punched him in the right shoulder.The man howled in pain and immediately stood upright again with a stoic look even as sweat popped on his forehead.Idiot. “I don’t want to see your face out here when I get back,” Maxwell said sternly.The man’s eyes widened. “Sir, please. I promise to do better. I…”“What is wrong with you, man? Go get yourself checked now, or you can forget your job anyway.”Maxwell looked at his head of security.The man, who still looked slightly embarrassed that the men had gotten past them, nodded and said “Noted, sir.”Maxwell headed towards
Reyona's Revenge Chp 200 - Wall Of Resistance
“Thank you,” Reyona said to Dr Rory Murphy, as he entered.He was waiting outside the office with the others as Reyona used his temporarily re-arranged office for her calls.“It is no problem.” said the doctor as he came to sit opposite her in the chair she would have sat as a patient under normal circumstances.But nothing was normal at the moment and as it was, she was seated in the man’s chair wearing a shirt he had got for his wife over her hospital gown.The handsome man with a pleasing smile, a high forehead, and a well-built body made him seem more like a bodybuilder than a hospital medical director.He smiled slightly as he said, “Anything for you, lioness.”When he saw Reyona wince, he added “Or should I say, Sherlock?”“Come on. You have to let that go.” Reyona said with a smile.Lioness was the nickname that her coursemates had given her because she hardly engaged in any frivolous activities, yet when there was anything that needed someone taking charge, they always automat
Reyona's Revenge Chp 201 - I Want It
For the next few days, Reyona settled in the private VIP suite of the hospital. Dr. Murphy had given her the most secluded section she had requested, and she knew she couldn’t ask for anything better. Things were going according to plans as well, just as her body was also cooperating with the treatment. She no longer winced every time she brushed her back against something, and she could easily hold herself up in the routine mini-walk she had started taking on the terrace connected to her suite. As agreed, Dr Romano, Dr Blair and Nurse Killian were the only ones attending to her, and Dr Murphy also checked on her constantly. She still didn’t know the gender of her child yet because Dr Romano had advised that they hold on till her fragile, bruised stomach was healed. Dr. Murphy also agreed with the man and Reyona had no problem waiting. The gender of the child didn’t matter to her anyway. What mattered was that the baby was hers. Hers and nobody else. Over the course of a few
Reyona's Revenge Chp 202 - Everything And Everyone
The past week has been the worst for Maxwell in a long while.First, he got a very unexpected call from Steve while he was trying to power through a birthday event filled with chatter and excitement that he was not feeling.It didn't help when he noticed that the celebrant also did not seem much into the celebration like the attendees.The fact that nothing seemed to fully cheer the girl up made Maxwell's mind go from time to time to the man currently cooling his heels in the gym’s utility room where he was locked.For a moment, he wondered if keeping him away from his children on such a day was a wise decision after all.Maybe he should have at least let him attend the event.As Reyona had said, the girl probably wanted the most that day to have her parents with her.Maybe the girl wouldn’t even mind if her father looked like something that had been chewed up and spit out by a chihuahua.He was seriously considering his option when Junior mentioned Reyona’s name.He saw Allysyn’s eye
Reyona's Revenge Chp 203 - Friends Of The Earth
Just after Maxwell cleverly handled Thomas’s issues and believed he wouldn’t have anything to worry about in that end, a reeling tragedy struck.It struck in the form of Rohan Fleetmaster.The 860-foot-long ship that Maxwell had gotten for transporting Rohan Automotive Inc. vehicles and any sea-related transports.Maxwell got the news that the huge ship with nine internal decks had sunk in the Mediterranean Sea with the cargo of 6,000 cars it was carrying.The huge $72, 000, 000, 000 tied to the exotic cars that the containers were carrying was the worst loss Maxwell had ever had to deal with since he started business and investment.Thankfully, most of the crew members survived, but that did not include the ship's captain, first mate, and chief engineer.The worst gloom crashed over Maxwell that week and the first person he wished he could turn to was not picking his calls.He hardly stayed at home as he went about dealing with the aftermath of the incident.Any regular CEO might jus

Reyona's Revenge Chp 302 - The Liar She Missed
“.... 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
