All Chapters of Reyona's Revenge: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Old memories mingled with the present as Reyona looked at the gaping maw that used to be her lovely home.Memories of the first time she had been here.Memories of the person she had been there with.Memories of how it seemed like her life was working according to plans then.Yet here she was.Unable to stand on her own, divorced, and practically homeless.The fire seemed to have gotten most of the building and only a little of the original structure could be seen standing while new attachments were already constructed to even out what must have been charred remains a week ago.“We can leave now if you want.” Maxwell’s voice pulled her out of her thoughts.For once, she did not feel annoyance towards him.She felt a kindred spirit.As if he was not just doing all he was doing out of pity.It was almost as if he could understand how she felt.Like he cared.“No, I…can we…can I check it out? I need to see how far things have gone on the inside and...“Rey,” Toria called in a warning.Ma

It didn’t take long for Reyona and the others to realise that the kids had heard right after all.Reyona’s mother-in-law and her granddaughter had died most bizarrely.Even though Reyona couldn’t remember the young girl, she was still pained that a life that young was cut short by sickness.Despite having a feeling that Ruth had a hand in her son’s deception, Reyona couldn’t help but feel grief about the death of the woman she was once close to.Reyona’s parents were not staying in Kayooma.They both are based far from the city with their families.Reyona had chosen Kayooma for her business and had eventually settled down there with Thomas, so most of the time, Ruth had been the maternal figure she had had around.They used to be so close before things cooled between them.Now that Reyona thinks back on it, Ruth was the one who stopped their once-in-two-week get-together.She had stopped showing up and continuously giving excuses until Reyona started getting more busy at work, and the

“I knew I was going to regret this,” Carlisle grumbled as he readjusted Reyona again while she strained to open the door with the self-fashioned lockpick.She ignored him and focused on her task.It had been easy years ago when she had to watch how to do it online when she lost the key to her dorm room.She could still remember how she did it, but there must be something she was doing wrong.The door didn’t budge.So, she tried again.Gladys returned to sit in the car after declaring that she couldn't recognise Reyona."The Reyona that I know wouldn't even think of such a thing," she muttered before closing the door firmly behind her.Toria was the one on the lookout for whoever might be coming.She was taking her job seriously as she swung her head from side to side, even though there was no sound of any car approaching.Thankfully, the neighbourhood has their houses set so far apart that there was no neighbour to call the cops on them.Despite that, Toria declared, “Just so you know

It started with Fiona.According to Toria, Fiona was the one who told Reyona about the deception that she had been dealt for years.When Reyona’s family told her that it might not be such a good idea to meet the woman, all she asked was, “Why?”She could see that they still believed that she was merely suppressing the pain of her divorce, and they were afraid that any little thing could affect her and make her spiral.“Don’t worry. I will be fine. I want to meet with her tomorrow. She sounds like it is important. I will just get it done and over with. Like a bandage, you know,” she said with a smile, but she could see that none of her family was in the mood to share the joke with her.So she faced Toria. “You'll drive me tomorrow morning, so get your head out of the sheet early,” she said as Toria rolled her eyes.She excused herself and went to call Fiona back.She greeted the lady more warmly this time, unlike the first time when she had been busy trying to remember if Fiona was any

Reyona only smiled.“I am sorry, I am rambling. The problem now is that Thomas has not been found yet. Mary told me you made arrangements for the bodies at the morgue until he could be found. The police have found nothing about him, and I don’t know what to do with the kids.”Reyona wondered how that was her problem.Then she said, “I am sure Thomas would be back from wherever he went soon, and he would take them off your hands.”“But we don’t know when that would be, do we?” Fiona said anxiously. More to herself, she muttered, “I don’t know how a son could be so unfilial! His mother and daughter died on the same day, and he had to choose a time like this to leave home. My aunt would be crying in the afterlife right now.”Reyona was beginning to think of all the things she could be doing with her time at that moment instead of sitting to hear a tale she already knew about.Fiona must realise she was already losing her because she quickly apologized for her rambling again and said, “Ma
