As soon as the reporters left, cheers went up in the whole company.

Reyona just got to the base of the staircase that leads to the elevator floor.

She turned and smiled as everyone downstairs and on the second floor came out of their offices and started clapping.

“Yes yes. That is right. Give it up for the best boss anyone can ever have,” Phil said in the tone of a hypeman as he took the center floor and gestured to Reyona with a courtly bow.

People hooted and clapped more.

As the clap was dying down, Phil turned to Reyona and said, “I just want to say this once and for all. Because if I did not say this now, I might forever regret it.”

People started snickering when he put on a showmanship expression and went down on one knee before Reyona.

“Boss, I am in love with you.”

Laughter went through the crowd as he raised his hand in supplication to Reyona. “What do you say, milady? Do you believe that I am in love with you?”

Reyona got into character and looked down haughtily at him as she

    Reyona was surprised when Charlotte hesitantly came forward with her hand raised.“You?” she asked in shock. “Why would you...”“I am so sorry, ma,” Charlotte said hurriedly. “I just feel that if they could use things like this to cause you so much damage, there is nothing bad in giving them a taste of their medicine. I am so sorry, ma. I am sorry. I will delete it right away,” she apologised profusely.“You can’t deny that it was very effective, though,” Samantha said beneath her breath.Reyona heard her, though, and she turned to give her a look.Samantha quickly turned to Charlotte and said, “I mean, you should have asked for permission. Yes, you did a good thing but you should have asked first. That was... such an unruly thing to do. Yes, very bad” she said with exaggeration.Reyona couldn’t keep a straight face for long. She smiled and shook her head.Everyone who had held their breath in anticipation of what she would say relaxed a bit when they saw her smiling, including Charlo

    He declined Charlotte’s offer of a coffee and sat down even before Reyona could. Reyona raised her eyebrows behind him and said, “Do make yourself comfortable” before she went to take her seat. “Oh, thank you. I plan to. This is a rare opportunity so I will make good use of it,” he said with a smile. Reyona was beginning to regret her intention to be civil to him. Still, she forced pleasantness onto her face as she sat and said, “What do you want?” “I am here to tell you again that the offer to work with Multilinks is still very available.” “I…” “Please hear me out before I lose my nerves,” he said with a smile that showed that losing his nerves was the last thing he would ever do. Reyona gave him a look to let him know that she was not fooled by his words, yet she said nothing and inclined her head to say that he should go ahead. “Thank you,” he said emphatically as he leaned forward on the table like he was about to tell her a secret. He steepled his fingers together and co

    “No, no. I meant all that." Maxwell interrupted her urgently. "And I would have said them to you eventually but she is the reason I am here this early. You see, she threatened to disown me.”Reyona thought she had heard it all but apparently, she could still be shocked by some things “Disown you? Did you just say disown you? What are you? Her kid?”“No, just a man who has learned that the fear of Celia’s wrath is the beginning of wisdom. She is important to Andrews and by default, she is important to me. You can kill me with that glare of yours if you want but please pick up her call and tell her what a good boy I was.”Reyona snorted at that. “Good boy, my foot.”“Please, what do you want? Half of everything I own. Whatever you want. Name it. I will give it to you. Don’t make her ban me from attending the christening ceremony of my godson. I might just die,” he added, with a theatrically comic look on his face.Reyona couldn’t hold on to her laughter anymore.She laughed while wonde

    Reyona heard Toria’s voice from outside. Even before her sister burst through the door like a whirlwind, she had already raised her head from what she was working on. She was tapping her pen against the file with a smile on her face when Toria entered with each of her hands holding a shopping bag. She blew Charlotte a kiss as the latter came to close the door behind her. Then she posed and declared. “Admit it. I am the best thing that ever happened to you.” “Oh yeah? How did you figure that out?” Reyona asked with a shake of her head. Toria tossed “What would you have done without me?” Reyona angled her head to one side as if she were really giving it a good thought. Then she said, “For starters, my ears would not be bleeding out right now. I would be in the middle of my work without stress. Oh, rapture!” she crooned. Toria narrowed her eyes at Reyona, then she said, “I will pretend not to hear that. Which is lucky for you because I am here for moral support?” So saying, she

    Reyona hated feeling this way but she felt it anyway.She wished her thoughts and her actions could be the same yet it seemed she was always disappointing herself in that aspect.Hadn’t she vowed to herself that nothing would matter to her anymore?Hadn’t she demonstrated in her mind just how cold and detached she would be in dealing with him from now on?She was a thirty-year-old woman who was stupid enough to love and live with a man who had not loved her for years. And so what?Now, she was supposed to be able to take charge of her life and do what she needed to do.“Why then are you quaking inside?” her subconsciousness whispered unapologetically.It must be because of Toria’s taunts.As much as she loved her sister, sometimes she just wanted to gag her.If she had not riled her with all that chicken talk, then Reyona would surely not be in this mess. It was her fault. Silly girl. Reyona thought as she looked over at Toria, who was busy belting out “The way I want it” by Ayragirl

    “Do you think I am pathetic?"Toria turned to look at Reyona in surprise. “What? No! Why would anyone think that?” “I do,” Reyona said, turning to look at Toria and her eyes suddenly misted over. “Toria, I can’t...” She looked away again and fisted her hand against her mouth as she unseeingly looked at the people going in and out of the supermarket, whose parking lot she had suddenly driven into on their way back. “Rey? Talk to me. What is going on?” Toria said in a sad tone as she placed her hand on Reyona’s shoulder. “What happened back there? Though I managed to toss that asshole the middle finger before you drove off, I still felt like a fool. Why did we suddenly leave?” Reyona was silent for a moment, but then she turned to Toria and said it passionately. “Because the girl was at the window watching us shove ourselves like two imbeciles,” Reyona said with pain. “What girl? Oh,” Toria answered as she remembered.The memory flooded Reyona’s mind again and she couldn’t help but

    Without another word, Reyona opened the door. She tossed Toria a look as she opened the back door and picked up the second bag. “Here, don’t forget this,” Toria said as she quickly gave Reyona a small black case. Reyona collected it and headed towards the restroom area of the supermarket. “Woohoo! Go girl!” Toria hollered so loudly that those outside all turned to look at her. Reyona quickened her pace and went inside as Toria grinned at those looking at her weirdly. She waved at them like a celebrity and added a cheeky “Hi” before she ducked her head back into the car. Everyone went back to what they were doing without a pause. Reyona, on the other hand, was having more than a pause as she entered one of the stalls and quickly undressed. Firmly taking her mind off what she was about to do, she pulled down the front zipper that went all the way to the navel and slid the bodysuit on. Slid. That was the most fitting word Reyona could find for the outfit at that moment. It fitt

    Knowing Toria’s idea of fun, Reyona was not surprised when her sister pulled up in front of a retro club.Teasing her, Reyona turned to her and asked, “Where is the surprise?”Toria rolled her eyes and said, “I can assure you that by the time we leave, that righteous look on your face will be gone.”She jumped out of the car and was already moving her body to the thin strain of music coming out of the club.Before Reyona could rethink her decision, Toria was already opening her door as she gave her a mock bow while saying, “Come down, Milady. No backing out now.”“Who said I was going to back out?” Reyona said confidently and she stepped out, putting a little sashay in her walk as she headed towards the main entrance of the club.“That is the spirit,” Toria hooted from behind her.Reyona slowed her walk as she saw two bouncers in front of the door with a small number of people in the queue.Most of them were already staring at Reyona appreciatively.Glad that she had the shades on, Re

    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
