last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Maxwell couldn’t be more proud of how Reyona handled the man who had started out acting as if he didn’t care about anything.

Oh, he tried to get under Reyona’s skin.

He even tried to taunt her for being the clueless woman who had allowed her husband’s mistress to get the better of her.

At first, she had let him think he had the upper hand, as he practically insinuated that they had nothing on him.

Maxwell trusted Reyona, yet he had been rearing to get in that bastard’s face and tell him what was what.

But then, with a few strategically worded sentences, she had pulled the rug from beneath the cocky bastard.

She made him believe their meeting was the best thing to happen to him in his current state.

Then she added that Susan had all the evidence of the deeds he had done for her with her.

Evidence that she had handed over to them.

When Maxwell could see that the Maze’s former confidence was fading already, she idly flicked at her nail and turned to face Officer Guy sitting beside Maze.

    Despite the Rohans' declaration that they would decide to let go of the case if the culprit fulfilled their demand, the Kayooma law still bound Maze anyway.Arson wasn’t just a crime against the victim, it was a crime against the state too.Reyona and Maxwell demanded that for the next three years, Maze would donate a pint of blood every eight weeks.That would be about 7 pints of blood that he would donate in a year.Altogether, in the three-year duration, he should have donated about 20 pints of blood.Then, apart from that, as long as he lived, he would be on hand for any blood donation that the Rohans would ask of him.With compensation, of course.There was also a clause that he should pass this knowledge down to his generation.For as long as they live, any of his generation with the Rh Null blood type can go to any branch of Saintwell Hospital anywhere in the world to donate blood.No questions asked, and they would be generously rewarded too.Though Maze had scoffed at that as

    Reyona disconnected the conference call with her Sydney team and swivelled her chair around to face the window.She reached for the neck massager that Maxwell had gotten for her with one hand.She fixed the device on her neck and switched it on.Reyona sighed as the pouch-like device vibrated against her neck.It was truly soothing, but it had nothing on Maxwell’s soothing warm fingers.Boy was he skilled.And to think he had only learned how to give a good massage recently.“I never had a need to worry about it before,” he had said. “Now, there is every reason.”He had hired a professional massage therapist to teach him.Then he tried it out on her every day until he was declared skilled enough.After which he added his innovative ways of massaging, of course.Ways that Beatrice, the massage therapist could have found scandalous.Reyona chuckled as heat filled her body at her thought.“Hmmm,” she half-moaned at the thought of the machine being replaced by his fingers.She shifted her

    A limo was waiting for them outside.“A limo?!” Reyona thought in astonishment as she looked at Maxwell, but he was giving nothing away.Junior bounced towards the car and even Allysyn hurried after him.“What is…?” Reyona's question was interrupted as she saw a uniformed driver, fully garbed like a professional chauffeur, down to the brimmed hat, step out and open the door for them.Junior bounced in before the man could say jack.“Miss,” he said to Allysyn as he helped her into the car.Reyona couldn't hold back her grin at how the girl automatically straightened her back and daintily gave him her hand.“That is a budding diva right there.” She thought to herself with pride.“How are you doing today, madam?” The chauffeur asked as she got to him.“I am doing good,” Reyona said with emphasis as she beamed at Maxwell.“And you?” She asked before Maxwell helped her inside.“Fine, ma. Thanks for asking.” She heard him say before closing the door behind them.The limousine's interior was

    Everything in Reyona constricted, stretched and laser-focused on the man stepping towards her in a tuxedo that was a replica of what Junior had on.Everything else, including the kids in the background, faded as Reyona couldn't feel, see or think anything else as he stepped towards her and bent down to hold her hands.He gently extracted the bouquet from her hand and set it on the seat beside her.Then, with his gaze firmly on hers, he drew her up until she was in his arms.His thumbs slowly wiped her tears away before he bent to kiss down the path of the tear stains on her face.“Maxwell” she breathed in an overwhelmed tone.He slowly turned her around and led her closer to the window.The vastness of the beautiful landscape of blue and white-dotted sky was so mesmerizing to Reyona's eyes.Her senses seemed to have sharpened doubly in the last few seconds as she could almost feel the languorous movement of the shifting clear clouds.Or maybe that had to do with the bliss of feeling h

    Toria helped Reyona change just in time before the jet landed on the helipad.She even helped her remake her makeup and make her hair into a fancy updo, all while saying nothing in return to Reyona's questions.“I don't see what the fuss is about,” Reyona said in a disgruntled tone as Toria said it was time to go show off her brilliant handwork.Toria rolled her eyes before coming to the aisle to make a grand announcement that they should all give it up to the most important person of the day.Reyona forgot her mock annoyed expression as she saw Maxwell's consuming eyes taking her in from the tip of her toes-peeking, half-covered low heels to the top of her coiffed hair.She could feel heat chase the trail of his eyes over her body as he took in the snug green, sequined dress that showcased her stomach just enough without being too tight.Reyona's heart sighed as their eyes met and lingered.Every time, it felt like coming

    They celebrated late into the evening.Reyona couldn't stop laughing all evening as her family got into different shenanigans from time to time.Spoilsports that they were, of course, they stopped her from having the best fun too.You should rest now.'You should sit now' was not far from the mouth of one of them from time to time.Even Junior! Ah!She had to watch when her mother offered to teach Junior how to dance like a gentleman so he could have girls swooning over him at the wedding.Then, of course, they ended up engaged in an impromptu samba that Reyona still couldn't remember how it started.Then Toria, who was not to be outdone, remembered a dance step she learned when she was going through her world traveller phase.She reminded Allysyn that any guy would always go crazy over a girl who could dance.Even though the latter said she didn't want any silly boy to go crazy over her, she watched with rapt attention as Toria made her grand entrance.“Is that so?

    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

    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?

    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
