Semua Bab Reyona's Revenge: Bab 231 - Bab 240

“Safe jour…ney” Reyona completed as she heard the disconnecting tone of the call.She placed her phone on the table as she mused on the success of Toria’s interior design company with her partner, Tara.Tara had started the same company on a small scale before her husband forced her to sell it so she could become a permanent housewife.Toria had discovered the emotional and physical abuse the woman had been going through. So, instead of buying out the woman's only means of escape from her marital problems, her sister had helped the woman finally speak up about her situation, reported him to the authorities and finally ensured that he was locked away for a long time after he almost killed Manuel in his intention to shoot Tara.Then she used the money she had intended to use to purchase the building which Tara’s parents had left for her to enter into a partnership with Tara.That birthed T and T Interiors, a source of new life for Tara and a chance for Toria to fully utilise her manager

The meeting was mostly one for introductions where the personnel got to meet Reyona as the chairperson of the company.Most of them had seen her come a few times already, and they knew about how she had filled in for Phil on the day of the event as well, but they still didn't know her real identity.After Phil introduced her, to the surprise of those who had thought that she was Phil's girlfriend, they all began to introduce themselves as well.Then Reyona gave a little speech that encompassed her gratitude for the efforts they had been putting in, a promise of due rewards to those who continue to work diligently, a reminder of the goals of the company and how they were the face of the company who must endeavour to portray the company in the right light every time.She soon dismissed them, and they were barely out of the room when he clapped as he stood up from where he had been sitting on one side of the room.“You were brilliant,” he said as he came forward and kissed her on the for

She was not being selfish!No, Allysyn meant a lot to her, and she would make sure she kept in touch with him…Well, she was not sure whether he would pick up her calls after what just happened, but she was going to try.Reyona paced to and fro in her bedroom as she felt like her skin was too tight for her.What did he have to look so hurt for?She liked Allysyn!She wished that whoever was the bastard who lay his hands on the girl would be instantly caught and dealt with.She hoped the girl wouldn't be plunged into the gloom she had once gotten into.Of course, she knew it was Allysyn!He didn't have to make her seem so heartless while looking at her like…“Oh my god!” Reyona sobbed as she rushed towards the nursery they had just started working on together.*****“What?”“Where are you?!” Reyona asked urgently. Chest heaving, she hoped she was not too late already.“I am on my way to the… what do you want, Reyona?”“Just tell me where you are unless you don't want me to come any…”“

Reyona opened her eyes when she felt a soft kiss on her cheek.She stared blearily at his mesmerising eyes.They were clouded with worry at that moment, but they still stole her breath away.Why were they fighting again?“You look so beautiful when you sleep.” He murmured to her.She raised her brow in a “really?” gesture as she levelled her gaze at him.As he countered her look with a smile while staring at her like he was memorising her features, she thought “Toss words at me. Accuse me of having feelings for my ex. Then walk out on me only to come back to wake me with a kiss and a half-ass compliment. Sure why not?”As if he was reading her thoughts, he said “I am sorry. I shouldn't have raised my voice at you that way.”What now?He rubbed his hand over his mouth and jaw as he said “You were right. My decision was more because of you than any other thing. I guess I was… I was scared of losing you.”He did it again. He managed to disarm her with a few well-chosen words and those so

She knew what he had done.He wanted to show her that he trusted her.For a moment there, she could see how he wanted to tell her to wait until he was done with his call.He hated the idea that she might face her ex-husband alone, yet he decided to trust her as she had asked.Emotions swirled in Reyona as she raised her hand and knocked.It was a bit disturbing that the house was eerily quiet and everywhere was dark too.Reyona knocked harder as the image of Ruth popped into her mind.She almost expected the woman to open the door at that moment and welcome her in the way she had always done, even when she was lying to her face.Reyona shrugged away the uncharitable thought and the niggling feeling that accompanied it.She turned back when she heard his footsteps.“Maybe he is not in there after all? They found something.”Reyona's heart thumped as she came forward. “What? Do they know where she is now?”“No, not that. While they were interviewing the people around the area this morni
