Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reyona's Revenge: Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 180

The next few weeks were filled with guilty pleasures for Reyona.She knew she should put a stop to it, but she just couldn’t.They could hardly keep their hands off each other.They made fiery, passionate love in unexpected places.Just as they came together in the gentlest and soul-stirring ways.Reyona couldn’t believe she could do the things she had done with him the past couple of weeks.She wanted to blame it all on his insatiable hunger for her, but she knew that would just be hypocritical.She was as hot for him as he seemed to be for her.Having dinner or breakfast with him in the company of the children was nothing short of torture.His eyes drank her most scandalously.Reyona wondered how she had managed not to combust from the way he looked at her at times.And the words he whispered to her when no one was watching?It was enough to send her heart spiking every time.His small and deliberate touches when they were together alone or with people never failed to suffuse her bo

They met bleary-eyed Jane coming out of her room while cinching the ropes of her nightgown.For a moment, she stared incomprehensibly at the two of them rushing towards her.“What is going on?” Reyona asked urgently.“I am just about to check. I heard someone scream.”“We did, too,” Maxwell said as they rushed past her.“Ally?” they heard Junior’s voice as Reyona opened the door to the children’s room.The expansive room was decorated just as the kids wanted.The two sections of the room were divided by an AC sheet room divider that gave the children a feeling of having their own space even while being together.Allysyn’s side was decorated according to her taste.She was more of a purple and print girl and that influenced her choice.The wall was done in interlacing bold and light purple, the bedding purple accents, while the wall decor, artwork, frames and side lamps were in contrasting bold colours.Even her mini bookshelf had purple accents at its end.While Junior’s side was most

Reyona’s anger rose to a feverish point as she looked at the couple who were nonchalantly repeating the mantra “Our boys are good breeds”.The husband was not as outspoken as the wife, yet, like broken records, one echoed what the other said.“How can you even take what that troubled child said over what we told you?” The woman, who was oblivious to how close Reyona was to letting her have it, said to the associate commissioner.“We have always been very diligent in taking care of these children and never has anyone had such a complaint about us before.” the woman’s voice was rising by the moment. “Our boys are an example of what a good job we do with these kids. Nobody had ever had a complaint about them before. They are good kids. Top of their classes too.” With her gaze turned towards Reyona. “How dare…?”“How dare a child speak about a traumatic experience she had in your home where she was supposed to be protected? How dare she try to protect her brother from your good boys? Well

“Hi,” Reyona said as she wondered how the girl must be feeling after having to share something she had thought she couldn’t share with anyone.Probably embarrassed. Reyona thought as she tried to picture what she might have felt if she had to explain such a thing to anyone.Though Reyona had seen what was on the sheet now, she asked “What do you have there?”Silence.Then the girl said “Puzzles. He wanted to come ride his horse while we waited for you, so I…” She completed her statement with a shrug.Reyona wanted to tell her that she didn’t have to justify things she did to anyone, but then she thought it was better that the girl was saying something at all than her usual clamming up.“Do you want help with that?” she asked when the girl scrunched up her face and tried to trace a pattern with her finger.Allysyn finally looked up at her as she shook her head and said “No, I will figure it out. I like to do this.” She closed the sheet as she spoke.“What else do you like to do? Maybe

They requested that the first course be Chinese chicken meatballs, much to Junior’s delight.The sticky, yet savoury dish was an eye-opener for Reyona, and she wondered how much more she had been missing.It was garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, which did nothing to detract from the slightly spicy taste of the mouthwatering meal.After that, they had Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, Peking roast duck, Mapo tofu, chow mein and Wonton soup successively.By the time they rounded everything up with mango pudding, the pipa music that was trickling in from the room next room had risen in frenzy.Even Junior was silent, as they simply enjoyed the culture of another country through the food and music.By the time they were leaving, the attendants informed them that their private room was next to a shopping centre where they could get their children any Chinese paraphernalia and clothes they might want.Though Reyona felt a bit weird when the attendants assumed they were a fa
