Chp 141 - Why You Hate Him

“He is not so bad, you know,” Celia said at the end of her laughter.Reyona, who was smiling at the antics of the old man among the women dancing in the square, nodded and said “You mean at flirting? Yes, he is certainly good at that.” With soft laughter, she added, “At dancing? "Not bad" is an exaggeration. I can’t believe I have never come across this place. Best way to relax. What dance do you think that is?”They both looked over at the man as he pretended to miss his step and raised his hand for one of the women to help him up.Celia laughed again and said “Oh, they know what he is doing. And they are allowing him. Oh, I wish life could be just that simple. The dance? I think salsa and a touch of their version of tango. I have never asked them. I enjoy it whenever I see them out here. They have gotten used to me, I would say” she beamed at Reyona as she added. "I could even say I am a part of the group at this point. Their silent admirer.”Reyona smiled and looked at the group ag

Chp 142 - About A Date

“I don’t hate anyone.” Reyona protested.“Maxwell. That is the name. At least mention it.” Celia said in a challenging tone as she placed her fists against her waist and gave Reyona a challenging look.“This is ridiculous,” Reyona said. “I think we should go.”“If you get up, I am going to scream bloody murder, and you will have a fine time telling all these wonderful souls why you threatened to…to…kidnap my baby.”“What? Don’t be ridiculous,” Reyona said.Celia batted her lashes at Reyona innocently as she said “Drew would be the first person to tell you that ridiculous is my middle name. I play it so well when I want to.”“That is just…”“Alright. Alright” Celia said with a deflated sigh. “I am not going to keep you here against your wish but at least tell me why you hate him so much, will you? He is really a good man. I know he doesn't show it much, but he is a very caring man, who is protective of people he cares about. And he cares about you." She raised her hand to stop Reyona's

Chp 143 - Because Of His Status

Reyona unblocked Maxwell’s number and forwarded the message to him.She was tempted to call Mary to tell her she wouldn’t be having anything to do with the kids from now on but she stopped herself.Somehow she knew she might not be able to hold out against that sweet woman who had other people’s issues dumped on her lap.“It is none of my business,” she muttered to herself out loud.She had barely seen the delivered notification before his call came through.Reyona swore at her slowness in blocking his number back. She disconnected the call and proceeded to block the number again.Her finger hovered over the block button for a second as a thought occurred to her.His call came in again and she automatically disconnected it.Then she pressed the message bar and sent Maria’s number to him.Call her and stop pestering me. She tagged the number and blocked his number again.She had thought of deleting the number earlier but since that could make her pick up his call unaware, she decided t

Chp 144 - Just The Way You Like It

In a dingy room that stank of sweat, dirt and a faint tang of blood, two people lay on a stripped mattress with their limbs intertwined.They looked as good as dead and none of them stirred as the door suddenly got kicked in.The faint light from the hallway washed over their faces and revealed the faces of a heavily bearded man with bottle-green hair and a woman with dirty, tangled, dirt-blond hair strewn over her face.Sounds of raucous laughter from afar and pissy traffic where drivers seemed to be having a contest over the horns filtered into the small room.None of them stirred as two men entered and one of them spat into the corner of the room with a disgusted look on his face.The other held his nose as he squinted at the trail of dried blood on the arm of the woman.“I daresay! Is that blood?”Close to the bed was a dirty syringe with a remnant of some liquid in it.A thin rope was on the woman’s wide-open lap where her short skirt had already ridden higher up her thighs at th

Chp 145 - My Dumb Brother

She had promised herself not to go.Just that morning she had firmly ignored the text message from Mary.Since when did aged women become keen on texting anyway?She had even admonished herself for remembering the date even before Mary texted her.The woman had done that right after her call went straight to voicemail.Blocking her was beginning to look like the better option after all.Still, she had not done it.She had simply left her home, which still seemed strange to her with all the changes, as early as possible.She convinced herself and her surprised employees that she had been the first person in the office because she was eager to get started on the day's work.Oh no, it had nothing to do with any anxiety she might be feeling about what had nothing to do with her.Even as her eyes kept going to the clock while she was in the middle of her first meeting of the day, she convinced herself it was all normal.She was fine, and she was not bothered about anything at all.The cloc

Chp 146 - I Hate Her Too

Reyona was not expecting the force with which the boy launched himself onto her.She was in danger of toppling over when a hand supported her.Warmth spread through her as a familiar scent tickled her nose.She moved her hair from her face and looked up to thank Cliff for his help.Only to look straight into Maxwell’s hazel-green eyes.Wait, how come she had never noticed that they…“Are you okay?” His soft question drew Reyona’s gaze to his firm and luscious… “Yeah, I am fine. Thanks,” she said tersely before looking down at the boy who was still clinging to her neck.“Hi,” Reyona said with a tight smile borne off her sudden discomfort.“He said he is our uncle. Ally said he is lying. Liar!” Junior said in an accusatory tone as he looked at Maxwell with a mutinous face.“Uhm, yeah. I suppose he is.” then she realised what she had said and cleared her throat. “I mean, not that he is a liar, uncle, he is your unc… can you step back, please?” she said in a hushed whisper to Maxwell Can

Chp 147 - Fraternising With The Enemy

Business was good.ReyDexter was doing so well that Reyona was beginning to give serious thought to what she had had in mind before the scandal.The thought of expansion.She even told her top executives about it, and they felt they could pull it off with their strength at the moment.Reyona and Sehima Hasanova had become more than just business partners; the savvy, world-class woman had become a mentor versus a consultant to Reyona about certain things.All the questions the woman asked fitted perfectly with ReyDexter’s strength at the moment.Then Sehima asked her one last question. “Are you ready?”That was when Reyona realised that the easiest questions at times might not have the easiest answers.Was she ready?It was easier for her to admit to herself that she was restless than it was for her to answer such a simple question.It didn’t take long for her to also admit to herself that her restlessness had nothing to do with business.Over the past weeks, she had alternated through

Chp 148 - We've Got This

Reyona tossed her key to the hospital valet who offered to help her park her car in the right spot and rushed off towards the paediatric part of the general hospital. She barely heard the man’s call, “Please, ask for your key at the front desk on your way out” before she got out of earshot. She had no idea what she was going to meet, yet she was filled with dread as she remembered the little wave that girl had reluctantly given on her way to a place that had landed her in a hospital! Reyona blamed herself for not giving in to the urge she had felt over the past weeks to check up on them. Of course, she had reached out to the social centre against her wish and she even knew when they found a place for them with a ready couple who are verified foster parents. All she had not done was speak directly to the kids. If only she… “Woah, woah. Easy there” a familiar voice said as she ran into him. “It’s you. Where are…I mean where is she?” Reyona asked anxiously as she tried to calm her

Chp 149 - Worthy Of Celebration

“Unfortunately, we can’t get the Sanstons to take them back.” “And what makes you think we would want them to go back to such people who obviously have no idea of what they were doing?” Reyona snapped before the woman could properly finish her statement. The woman’s look and Maxwell's little touch on her arm made her remember the situation they were in. “Uhm, I mean, why don’t they want them back?” “They said she is problematic. You see, these people have been working with us for a while now. They currently have two other boys with them and there has never been such a problem. They were already thinking of calling us before the accident happened.” “So, you also believe the girl is to blame?” Reyona asked with a direct look at the woman. The woman looked uncomfortable as she looked from Reyona to Maxwell as if she was expecting a backup. Then she looked back at Reyona when Maxwell said nothing. “See, ma’am. I am not trying to apportion blame here, but the Santons were very sure th

Chp 150 - Marry Me

“I really shouldn’t,” Reyona said with a sheepish smile as she looked down at the heavenly-looking crème brûlée garnished with strawberries and blackberries. “You know you want to,” Maxwell said as she stretched her hands towards the desert and made a gesture of blowing its invisible steam towards her. “This is all on you,” she said as she gave in and inserted the spoon she had suspended over the dessert into it and scooped out a handful. She put it in her mouth and slowly drew out the spoon as she closed her eyes in ecstasy while letting out a low moan of rapture. Maxwell couldn’t take his eyes off the glow on her face as she slowly chewed every bit of the savoury dessert. He swallowed uncomfortably as he said quietly “Yeah, all on me.” Reyona’s eyes popped open, and she looked straight at him with such enjoyment that he had never seen on her face before. Holy shit. He wished he had known this was all it would take to have her look at him like that. He would have taken her to
