Reyona's Revenge Chp 98 - One Too Many
The music changed once again and people roared in excitement. Reyona automatically leaned back from the stench of stale breath and the alcohol wafting from the bald man in front of her. The man took that as an invitation and dropped into the chair opposite her. Reyona looked at the bar and saw that everyone had returned to their business. It seemed she was no longer interesting since she didn’t choke on her bile. Though the effect of the drink was still singing through her blood, the zing was fast disappearing at the leery look the big man opposite her tossed her way. He was looking at the front zipper on her outfit in a way that discomforted Reyona. Refusing to let a fool who couldn’t handle his drink add to her sour mood, Reyona looked away from him and tried to enjoy the music. She self-consciously reached for the drink again but quickly withdrew her hands from it as she remembered the first time. It wouldn’t do to start dripping in front of the silly man, whose eyes were s
Reyona's Revenge Chp 99 - Please, Stay With Me
“I ask why you always put yourself in these situations,” Maxwell repeated.Though Reyona knew what he meant, she folded her arms around herself and asked, “And what situation would that be?”Sheh suddenly felt nervous as he took a step towards her in a predatory manner but then she didn’t back down.Lucky for her, he stopped when they were just arm's length and said, “You know what I meant. Do you know what it might have looked like if the paparazzi caught wind of what happened out there? How would you explain being in a place like this? With a man like that. And dressed like that?”Reyona ignored the hint of exasperation in his tone as she responded, “I am not with the man, in case you miss that. Nobody would have recognised me and..."“I did,” he said quietly.“What?” Reyona asked, annoyed that he interrupted her.“I recognised you. That ridiculous glasses is not enough to hide a face like yours.”Oh. That definitely got to Reyona. Though she had no business feeling anything about
Reyona's Revenge Chp 100 - An Urge To Rescue Her
She fell for it. Maxwell couldn’t believe that he was able to get Reyona to relax in his company. Even he was amazed at the way he had been able to keep the conversation between them civil, all while his blood raged at the closeness between them. That one-piece suit she had on was supposed to be one of the contrabands in the world. Companies were supposed to be persecuted for creating things like that. It wasn’t just the clothing. It was the woman inside it. Reyona. Maxwell didn’t like thinking of her as a Lanoth. He didn’t like the fact that that bastard had a claim to her. Oh, he hated the fact that Thomas-fucking-Lanoth had a right to her for that long, yet it was a fact. Not that Maxwell had to like it, though. As he watched her posture that night gradually relax from the tensed, springbox-like stance to a comfortable posture, Maxwell felt like he had won the world. As he saw the wariness leave her eyes to be replaced by true interest in the conversation they were hav
Reyona's Revenge Chp 101 - Forbidden Topic
Reyona wished Toria was with her at that moment.Her sister had to leave for Sydney that morning.The realtor she had been in touch with called her just that morning to say that he saw a perfect property for her in Sydney.Coincidentally, the owner of the property was also an interior designer who was relocating.The clause was that the owner wanted to see the person who would take over her property.Reyona could see that Toria loved that particular property. It was perfect for the vision she had for her home design company.Sydney was also a perfect spot for such business. Despite how excited Toria had been at first about the discovery,he had been very hesitant that morning.“I shouldn't go,” she said multiple times, even though Reyona had told her she was fine and there was no need to babysit her.She practically pushed her out of the door and shut the door in her face.Still, Toria shouted, “Call me if you need anything!”“Yes, mommy!” Reyona had responded with a smile.Her smile
Reyona's Revenge Chp 102 - You are Dead To Me
“Not much gets past me, Dexter,” Maxwell said arrogantly. “I think the real question here is, why are you not doing the needful right now? Have you changed your mind?”“That is none of your business,” Reyona said in a vehemently low tone.He gave her a long look and nodded. “You are right. It is not my business. Weirdly, I find myself interested, though.”God save me from nosy blockheads. Reyona thought to herself in exasperation. “Interested in what?” she asked crossly.“Interested in you,” Maxwell said simply as he stood up and put his hands into his pockets.Reyona gaped at him in shock as she wondered if he meant what she thought he meant. “What?” she managed to squeeze out.“Sign the contract, Dexter,” Maxwell said in a sudden, curt tone as he turned towards the table.“This meeting is over. Mitchell will get in touch with you about the following steps,” he said with a sort of finality in his tone as he sat behind the desk.Reyona looked from him to the contract on the table.She
Reyona's Revenge Chp 103 - If Only
It is none of your business.Reyona reminded herself for the umpteenth time that evening as she got ready to go home.Home.Not a rented place, she had been sleeping to get out of the way of her asshole hus...ex-husband.She had just gotten off the phone with Toria.Toria was apologetic that she had to stay over at Sydey due to a complication.When Reyona asked Toria what the complication was about, the latter merely said she would tell her everything when she got back the next day.“Now tell me everything,” Toria said, turning the conversation back to the reason why she had called.Reyona told her everything.Everything Gibson had told her happened in court and would happen if Thomas decided not to cooperate.Her sister was overly joyous at the fact that Thomas was given a restraining order.She congratulated Reyona and promised that they would drink all the champagne they could lay their hands on when she got back.Reyona stared at the phone as it disconnected and wondered why she h
Reyona's Revenge Chp 104 - Vow Of Silence
She was a child again. She ran with the consciousness of a scared child as the loose belt of her muslin gown flailed behind her. In terror, Reyona held tightly to the belt for fear of falling over. She just needed to get to where the light was. Light means safety. All she had to do was leave the crippling darkness behind. Before it caught up to her. When she mistakenly looked at the glass wall to her left, her terror doubled. Her terrified hazel eyes seemed too big for her small pixie face. Her hands and face were covered with soot. Has it burned her already? In terror, Reyona touched her hand to her face to see if she would feel the pain of burns. She tightened her teeth against the sound that wanted to escape her mouth as she kept running. It must not hear her. She must keep going. She just needed to find Grams! Grams would help her! Grams would be somewhere in that light she could see from afar. Grams knew she hated the dark. Grams would come for her and chase it
Reyona's Revenge Chp 105 - Disastrous Result
Maxwell died. If the feeling that ripped through his heart at the sound of that scream was not a sign of sure death, he was sure it must be a sample of what death would feel like. The sharp cry, then silence. Unbidden images of his father’s still body flooded his mind as he rushed over and saw her lying unmoving. The difference was that his father had been lying unmarked and peaceful-looking in bed. She had a gash on her head, bleeding, and her legs were twisted at an odd angle. "Reyona,” he called with his heart in his mouth. No answer. His haywire imagination calmed a bit when he realised that she was still breathing, though. As much as he would have loved to scoop her up and take her to the nearest hospital, Maxwell knew he might cause more damage if he moved her. “Over here!” his voice boomed in the night. Yet it was not loud enough for them to hear him over the chaos going on at the front. Glasses crunched under his shoes as he swore loudly and ran towards the front,

“.... 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

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
