“You are so full of surprises these days, you know?” Toria said as she tossed the shrimp cracker into her mouth.

“What can I say? I aim to please.” Reyona answered with a shrug as she leaned back in the lounge chair.

They were in the garden oasis in the backyard of her Bellevue Hill home.

Kayooma still can’t get over the perfect blend of sophistication and luxury that the home offers.

Phil had outdone himself.

She removed her slippers and trailed her toes over the lush grass just outside the paved path of the oasis.

Of all the beauty of the interior of the house, the oasis had easily become her favourite place.

She loved the serenity of the lush greenery and the swirling fairy structures at the entrance of the oasis never failed to amuse and intrigue her.

She couldn’t get enough of the sound and fresh scents that came from the small babbling brook that cut through the backyard into the property of the neighbouring house as well.

Reyona loved everything just as she loved her new carefr

And I am tired of running after you.” Reyona said as she got to the car and went around to the driver’s side. “Get out. I am driving.”“But…”Reyona gave her a look and she unbuckled her seatbelt.“Fine” Instead of getting out of the car, she scooted over to the passenger seat and Reyona got in the driver's seat.“You need to hurry,” Toria said anxiously.“I am not going to get us killed in the process. Where?” “Chippendale,” Toria said as she quickly put on the seat belt.Reyona quickly input the address into the map navigator and drove as fast as she could.She looked sideways to see Toria tapping her finger nervously against the window.“What exactly is going on? Who is back?” Reyona asked to calm her sister.“Her motherfucking, restraint-order-defying husband. He is back and she is all alone!”Rey

I am so looking forward to the day we will have you here in the flesh, you know,” Phil said with a smile.“Soon, Phil. Soon. Everything in its time.

    “There is nothing wrong with your body, ma’am. You are perfectly fine.” the doctor assured Reyona.The look on her face was enough to let the doctor know that she was not buying her explanation at all.The woman leaned back in her seat and said “I am sure you trust us to take very good care of you, madam. Dr Romano also recommended me because he knew I will do what is best for you and your baby. You are in good hands, ma. I just need you to trust me.”“I do trust you, okay? That is why I asked you to do the ultrasound, so you can be sure that my baby is fine. Though I still don’t want to know the gender yet, I believe what you said that the baby is fine. But I don’t…” she shrugged as she unconsciously lowered her voice. “I mean this urge is just weird, you know. I think I will take the regular morning sickness that most people dread over this.”The doctor smiled and said “I doubt that, ma. Not when you have to go through it nonstop at least.”“Anything is better than this,” Reyona sai

I can do that and still…”“No, no….” cough “I have done enough. I can just…”“Babe, you really need to stop talking. You are going to keep hurting your throat.”Reyona raised her eyebrows in amusement as she heard Phil shush the male voice at the other end “Sshh.

    There is something about knowing you look good that just automatically boosts your mood.Reyona was feeling that effect as she drove to the company.The fact that she was about to get into her element was also another mood booster for her.Yes, she had been working from home and pulling her weight without slacking off.Yet there was something about actually clocking in that she had not noticed she sort of missed until she got closer to the company.It would also be the first time she saw her new company in daylight as well.Apart from the pictures and videos, she had only seen the company at night when she came over after she arrived in Sydney.Then she had firmly told herself to stay away.After all, if she was to make her plan work, there was no point in outing herself even before she could achieve her goals.As she got closer to the office, the anticipation grew in her.She was feeling very good and looked forward to a very productive day.She hummed in her throat and nodded her he

Thank you for coming.”“It is my pleasure,” Reyona said as she followed Nicole, the assistant, back to Phil’s office.The lady opened the door and stepped aside for Reyona to enter.The office brought a nostalgic feeling to Reyona as it reminded her of her Kayooma office.She had given Phil the go-ahead to design the office according to his preference, yet he had managed to make it look like a replica of her office.She shook her head in amusement as she went to sit on the chair.Nicole placed the documents in her hand on the table in front of Reyona.She turned to leave and then turned towards Reyona.“You have been busy with the event since morning, ma. I am sure those finger foods couldn't have been satisfactory. What can I get you, please?”Reyona was about to wave her concern aside when she stopped.Though sh

    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?

    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
