Semua Bab Reyona's Revenge: Bab 281 - Bab 290

They had the best of times shopping.He was fully engaged in every aspect of every choice they made for the baby.From the crib, changing table, baby monitor, and nightlight down to the onesies, pajamas, and swaddles, to the bathing, feeding, healthcare, playtime essentials and every other thing they could think of.They had so much looking up and selecting many more items than the ones they had ever gotten in Sydney.Maxwell booked the baby needs store she chose for the day and the attendants were at their beck and call.When Reyona told him she didn’t think it was really necessary, he told her it was for the best.He was still very sensitive about the media exposure they had had to deal with and didn’t want them to wake up to their pictures splashed on a cover page because they did something that was supposed to be uniquely theirs.When he explained it, Reyona remembered what had happened the last time they had gone shopping at Kayooma.It had been a means for some sleazy papers to m

The house always had a kind of liveliness to it with the amount of staff inside the mansion and around the house.Though she had never really paid much attention to it, Reyona realised there was always a subtle sound going on somewhere in the house from someone doing something or going somewhere.At the moment, it seemed like she was the only one in the house.“Where is everyone?” she wondered.“Maxwell?”“Jane?”“Toria?”Maybe she should have checked Toria’s room.But knowing her sister, she knew Toria would not be in bed till now unless something was wrong.Or if she had gone partying.They had met her at home the day before while she was busy working and giving some suppliers hell for delayed delivery.When they had their dinner sent to them in bed, Reyona asked if Toria and her mum had sat for dinner, but the maid had said Miss Dexter was still busy with work and Mrs Rochester had eaten with Junior and Jane.It looked like Toria had worked late last night, so she wouldn’t have had

Toria returned to Cyprus the day after the event.Their parents and Maureen left soon enough as well.The excitement of the discovery got Reyona in a frenzy for the next few days as she wanted everything to be perfect for her babies upon their arrival.She was glad that she still didn’t know their genders yet, but the fact that she had two lives growing inside her was more than she could have ever hoped for.For eight years, she had tamped down her needs for a family just because of a man who was not worth it.Her thirtieth birthday had been marred by the realisation that she was growing older.She was even beginning to think that she might never be able to change the mind of the man she had thought was her lifelong partner.She had pushed aside all that she had ever wanted, all for someone she shouldn’t have ever given the time of the day.She would probably have gone all her life not fulfilling the dreams she had always had as a child.To have a family of her own.She had always wan

Reyona had thought she would have to go to the detention centre where Maze was held.He was held in Kayooma Federal Detention Center after his lack of cooperation in the first hearing.The judge had been pissed off and had him sent there to cool his feet for a week before the next hearing.In the meantime, the police were gathering more evidence based on the recording that Maxwell had made.The recording in which Maze had denied his own voice.Reyona still wondered why Maxwell had thought it would be possible to have someone like that strike a deal with them.She was sure the bastard might even prefer going to a long-term jail just to spite them.After all, Maxwell had played him.With the new evidence of his gasoline purchase and other incriminating information that Officer Guy had gotten from Susan though, Reyona supposed he might decide to be more reasonable when he realised that his “I-know-nothing, I did-nothing” tactic was not going to work.Any environmentally aware person woul

Despite the Rohans' declaration that they would decide to let go of the case if the culprit fulfilled their demand, the Kayooma law still bound Maze anyway.Arson wasn’t just a crime against the victim, it was a crime against the state too.Reyona and Maxwell demanded that for the next three years, Maze would donate a pint of blood every eight weeks.That would be about 7 pints of blood that he would donate in a year.Altogether, in the three-year duration, he should have donated about 20 pints of blood.Then, apart from that, as long as he lived, he would be on hand for any blood donation that the Rohans would ask of him.With compensation, of course.There was also a clause that he should pass this knowledge down to his generation.For as long as they live, any of his generation with the Rh Null blood type can go to any branch of Saintwell Hospital anywhere in the world to donate blood.No questions asked, and they would be generously rewarded too.Though Maze had scoffed at that as
