Reyona's Revenge Chp 61 - Respectable Buglar
“You should have seen her face, Drew. It was priceless!" Celia Jordan, the wife of Andrew Jordan, said with glee as she waddled slightly before dropping heavily into the wicker chair that her husband held for her. Andrew shook his head in exasperation as he quickly set a footstool before her and slowly helped her rest her leg on it. Celia rolled her eyes above his head and grinned at the man who was staring at the two of them with a smile. “See what I have to deal with, Maxie. He worries too much,” Celia said. Then she sighed dramatically as she rested her back against the chair, piled with soft cushions. “Poor me. I can’t even have any excitement anymore.” She looked down at her huge belly and said, “Hey you, do fast and come out before your father coddles me to death.” "Celia,” Andrew called softly as he bent down before her. The retro billionaire, whose personal life is still a mystery to the media and who is a hardcore in the business world, is a softie when it comes to the
Reyona's Revenge Chp 62 - One Missing Ingredient
Celia stopped her moan long enough to squeal, “Lucky?! You are a scoundrel, Maxie. You should have seen me. I was awful to her.”Maxwell looked at her with a mock, shocked expression. “You? Awful. That is hard to believe.”Celia laughed, then she leaned her head back on the headrest as she continued, “I asked her what the hell she was doing at Sylby’s house when my friend was not at home. She was bent over at that time.”The memory made her laugh again.“There she was, bending over at a perfectly fine angle, and I startled her. Poor lady. She stared at me through the opening between her legs for a moment before she stood up to face me. It wasn’t funny at the moment, but now that I think of it,” she laughed again as she lifted one of her legs off her husband.“She was bent like this,” she said as she made a move to get up.“Don’t even dare,” Andrew said as he took the leg she dropped and placed it firmly on his lap.Celia made a face at him as she muttered, “Spoilsport.”Maxwell hid hi
Reyona's Revenge Chp 63 - Highly Disappointed
Reyona woke up to an incessant ringing tone. She looked around blearily, and it took her a moment to realise that her phone was not beside her on the king-size bed. She groaned out loud as she raised herself up, but her head protested. "Uggh,” she groaned as she saw the wine bottle and half-finished glass of wine on the bedside. The phone rang again, and she was tempted to just smother herself with the colourful pillows strewn all around her, and get it done and over with. “Leave me alone,” she muttered with a groan. Then she realised that the sound was not entirely coming from the phone that was on the pink rattan accent chair on the other side of the room. Some of the ruckus was coming from the TV she had on. She looked at the box of candied nuts beside the bed and shook her head. An action she regretted immediately as she grabbed her head “So much for cooking up a storm,” she thought to herself. She groped around until her hand was touching the remote, and she switched of
Reyona's Revenge Chp 64 - Staredown Competition
Michelle, Jordan’s assistant, welcomed Reyona with a smile.Then, she gestured towards CEO Jordan’s office with a pleasant “He is waiting for you.”Reyona nodded and followed her.No one seeing her would believe she was having a thrumming headache that had refused to back down despite the aspirin she took before leaving.She had been unable to make the toast, and she wished desperately that the queasiness she was feeling wouldn’t show.Outwardly, Reyona was the epitome of confidence and professionalism.She had on a power suit of a dark orange fitted blazer and contrast high-waist pants.Her clothing was complimented by nude, pointy-toe heels and her Chanel bag of the same colour.Michelle knocked and stepped aside as she gestured for Reyona to go in.Reyona thanked her with a smile and entered the office with her professional smile at the ready.The smile froze on her hurting face as she saw who was waiting for her in the office.Now what?Reyona instantly regretted her decision not
Reyona's Revenge Chp 65 - The Right Man
A t-shirt and a short!The fact that they fit him so well, like a second skin, didn’t matter.It also didn’t matter that Jordan had dressed just as casually.Jordan knew what he was doing; this one here obviously didn’t.Reyona was almost tempted to stand up and leave.She really wanted to.But then she could picture the horrified looks on her employees faces if she told them they lost the bid because she couldn’t stand the company’s partner.Plus, she really wanted to work with Multilinks.Their crappy taste in partners apart, the account would do her company’s portfolio a lot of good.She wouldn’t allow anyone to tamper with that.So she sat.And contemplated reaching out to knock him over with the gorilla paperweight on the table.“You won the bid,” he finally said.“Oh, thank you very much,” Reyona said with genuine excitement. “You can be sure that we..."“Save it for Jordan. I am not interested,” he interrupted her."Okay,” she said with a tight smile. “Does that mean I can leav
Reyona's Revenge Chp 66 - Forbidden Sanctuary
Reyona didn’t pick up the call. The call disconnected, and it started ringing almost immediately. “What does this bastard want now?” she wondered. When the phone started ringing again just as she was starting the car, she decided to pick it up. She wouldn't switch off her phone because of him. She would have to have a conversation with him anyway. So, she decided to get it done and over with. She picked up the call on the fourth ring. “Hello, Reyona. How dare you do this to me? You were really serious about the divorce? You want to divorce me?” That was fast. Reyona thought with satisfaction. “You can’t just have some bastard serve me some paper while you hide out, you coward! Tell me where you are. I am coming there. You need to tell me why you think the right thing for you to do is to divorce me!” Coward? The bastard dared to call her a coward. After everything he did, he had the guts to talk to her about doing the right thing. How rich! An idiot just threatened her wi
Reyona's Revenge Chp 67 - Stick In The Mud
Dread dawned on Thomas as he watched Reyona leave.What the hell was that about? He wondered.That stick in the mud had never dared to speak to him like that before.She had always been respectful to him and drearily proper.It was one other reason why she was such a contrast to Susan.Susan was the spicy, sassy, all-fun love of his life, while Reyona was just Reyona.She was their goldmine.The cool and collected CEO with the right words and actions.The woman who just spoke with him a few minutes ago was someone else entirely.Well, it had been his wife, alright.But it was as if she had been possessed by someone else.Before his anger rose at that, the thought that brought dread into him rose again.Did she know?Did she find out everything? She must have gone to check on him at the center and gym, only to find out that it had been sold.But how is that possible?Whoever bought the businesses had not even made any attempt to do anything with them yet.Thomas had not been able to g
Reyona's Revenge Chp 68 - Wrong Turn
Reyona knew something was wrong the moment she stepped out of her office. Actually, she had known seconds earlier. She had been antsy since she got back to work, and she couldn’t settle down no matter what she did. She had tried to contact CEO Jordan to ask him to persuade his partner or whatever she had to do to not let that asshole screw her over. The personal line he had given her had gone straight to voicemail. Michelle told her he wasn’t back in office yet. “Oh, I can’t predict his movement,” was what the assistant said when Reyona asked if she knew when he would be back. So, she was back to where she started from. And the prospect of going back to the rental house for any culinary adventure holds about as much excitement for her as being poked in the eye. So, like a caged lion, she moved from her desk to the opulent seating area at the other end of her office. She tried to work, but the numbers seemed to be playing tricks on her eyes. She tried to read a book she had s

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
