All Chapters of Reyona's Revenge: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

“She did this to you, didn’t she?” Susan asked in the soft voice she knew he loved to hear.“I told you not to ask, okay? Just keep your mouth shut when your brother comes here, and we will be fine. I will be here again before your time is up.”“Okay, my love,” Susan said with a smile.He looked at her and looked away.An awkward silence descended between them, and Susan knew she did not have much time before someone would come sniffing for her like a hound.“Do you want to leave now?” she asked, trying hard not to wrinkle her nose at the stale smell coming from him.“Err, yes,” he answered uncertainly. He looked like he wanted to say something, but then he nodded and said, “Keep your head low, okay?”“Always," Susan said with a smile.He nodded again, and just as silently as he had come, he left again.The smile on Susan’s face died instantly.It was that bitch!She was sure of it.Not only was Thomas looking like something the cat had dragged through the alley, but he looked like he

Reyona eased, with relief, into the chair her dad pulled out for her. “Thanks, Dad,” she said gratefully, and the latter patted her shoulder affectionately as he said. “You did great. It will only get easier from now on.” “Let’s try not to do that so often until you are totally fine, though,” Gladys said anxiously. “Yes, Mom,” Reyona said to get the anxiety off her mom’s face. As Toria called the hostess who had led them in and they started their discussion, Reyona couldn’t help but think of the strained conversation that she and Celia had. If it could even be called a conversation at all. Reyona didn’t think she had anything to feel guilty about, but the guilt was well lodged in her chest, and it seemed it was not ready to leave anytime soon. It started with the cold treatment she had given the woman when the latter came to visit right after they left Rohan’s place. Reyona had reacted to the woman’s concern based on her knowledge of her closeness with someone she regarded as a

“That is awful. Why didn’t you say anything?” Toria shrugged as Reyona set aside the file she was going through and turned to face her sister fully. Toria straddled one of the chairs facing her sister and said “Because you have a lot going on too. Then I didn’t know that the bastard would go after her again. I thought we had gotten rid of him. At least, we were on it when…” “... When you got called about my accident,” Reyona said compassionately with concern on her face. Toria nodded and sighed again. “I just don’t know if I can leave you like that. Mum and Dad just left yesterday and now…” “... Now you need to go do what you think is best. I am fine. You know I am better already. If not, my tyrant doctor and the chiropractor wouldn’t give me a clean bill” Reyona said with a roll of her eyes. The worry on Toria’s facelifted as she grinned. “You mean you let them think they are the boss while you do what you want anyway,” she said, swinging her legs. “Hey,” Reyona said with an ex

Maxwell paced to and fro in his office as he listened to the person on the phone.Displeasure increased on his face as the person continued talking.He ran his hand through his hair as he swore beneath his breath.“Are you sure, Steve?”The person spoke for a moment while Maxwell nodded.“Yes, yes of course. Keep me posted, will you?”“Thanks”, he disconnected the call and walked towards the bar.He poured himself a generous hand of brandy.Without a word, he walked towards the window overlooking the mesmerising nightlife of Kayooma.His office was situated at the topmost level of the gigantic, Rohan Automobile Inc. building.His employees were long gone for the day.Though they had wrapped up the final preparations for the annual showroom event that was to take place the next day, Maxwell didn’t feel like going home.Despite everything going on, he couldn’t take his mind off a certain someone.The fact that she had begun to feature prominently in his dreams was even more frustrating.

The ring of Reyona’s phone jolted her out of a restless sleep.She raised her head and squinted briefly before groggily reaching for her phone.She had fallen asleep at her desk in the home office she had fashioned out in Sylby's place.Her sleep pattern had become seriously messed up in the past few days, and she was not surprised to wake up with a slight burn on her cheek from how she had lain it right on the file she had tried to work on before sleep caught up with her.The call was disconnected before she could pick it up.And she briefly wondered if it was Toria calling, as she tap-tapped her hands around the sheaves of paper under which her phone seemed to be buried.Her sister had been the last person she spoke with the night before.Right after she spoke with the contractor.They were done with the renovation of her house, including the few additions she had discussed.She could move in anytime now.Reyona sighed as she finally unearthed her phone and moved her hair away from
