Reyona’s Revenge

A limo was waiting for them outside.

“A limo?!” Reyona thought in astonishment as she looked at Maxwell, but he was giving nothing away.

Junior bounced towards the car and even Allysyn hurried after him.

“What is…?” Reyona’s question was interrupted as she saw a uniformed driver, fully garbed like a professional chauffeur, down to the brimmed hat, step out and open the door for them.

Junior bounced in before the man could say jack.

“Miss,” he said to Allysyn as he helped her into the car.

Reyona couldn’t hold back her grin at how the girl automatically straightened her back and daintily gave him her hand.

“That is a budding diva right there.” She thought to herself with pride.

“How are you doing today, madam?” The chauffeur asked as she got to him.

“I am doing good,” Reyona said with emphasis as she beamed at Maxwell.

“And you?” She asked before Maxwell helped her inside.

“Fine, ma. Thanks for asking.” She heard him say before closing the door behind them.

The limousine’s interior was so beautiful it could make the eyes water.

It had upholstered couches, beautiful curtains, and an artistically shaped built-in bar which reflected the glow of the ambient lighting. It was stocked with gleaming glassware and bottles, and the advanced entertainment system promised a journey of unparalleled luxury and comfort.

Junior was already helping himself to the treats on the rose-shaped table close to the couch.

“What is going on, guys?” Reyona asked again, unable to bear the anticipation anymore.

“In a moment, babe,” Maxwell said as he helped her sit and automatically raised her legs to rest on the couch in front of them.

The limo started and Reyona decided to stuff her mouth with the milkshake he handed her.

None of them seemed ready to tell her yet anyway, so she might as well stop asking.

She simply enjoyed the luxurious ride while being in the arms of her doting husband.

Soon enough, the limo was pulling up.

The door opened almost immediately, and he helped her out of the car.

“Oh wow. This is biiiiig” Junior said with wide eyes as he stared up at the building they were standing in front.

“Took the words right out of my mouth.” Reyona thought.

The headquarters of the Rohan Group of Companies was a giant, conical-shaped masterpiece that could swallow three of the ReyDexter buildings and still have extra space.

Made of floor-ceiling glass walls and incredibly carved shingles, it shimmered and stood glorious like the king it was among corporate buildings in Kayooma and the environs.

He was bringing her to his office?

Did he want to introduce her to his employees?

Reyona knew of his company, yet she had never been there since they got together.

Was this his way of taking another step towards that “learn more about each other” promise?

“Okay, now that we are here, you can…”

“Not yet,” he said as he urged the kids along and grabbed her hand.

The security guards bowed to them right before the automatic doors rotated inward.

The awe on the kid’s face was well-deserved.

The magnificence of the lobby was nothing to sniff at.

It was obvious that no expense had been spared in making the building live up to the standard of what it represented.

And the man pioneering it all.

It was closing hour, and most had left for the day, yet those who were around automatically recognised Reyona.

From a respectable distance, they bowed to them in greeting, while welcoming Reyona to the company.

Maxwell soon whisked them all into the elevator and pressed the button for the topmost…

Reyona looked at the button again.

“No, that is the rooftop,” she thought, with increased excitement.

She simply held on to his arms without asking the one thousand and one questions that wanted to spill off her lips at that moment.

Junior and Allysyn were whispering God-knows-what between themselves.

She didn’t bother to try listening to them though.

Those tight-lipped conspirators.

She wondered what he had promised them to make them agree not to say anything.

Especially Junior.

She rolled her eyes inwardly as she thought of how she was going to know soon anyway.

She wouldn’t bother tormenting herself by trying to guess.

Could it be a rooftop dinner?

Or…

She remembered her promise and chuckled slightly.

“Penny for your thoughts?” he said.

Right before the elevator opened.

Reyona’s mouth was wide open as she stared at the magnificent craft in front of her.

Junior’s squeal as he rushed up to the man standing some distance away from the jet was not enough to jolt her out of her haze of shock.

She mechanically followed him as he led her out of the elevator towards the approaching man.

“You are welcome, ma’am. I am Stefan. I will be your pilot for this trip.” The man said after greeting them.

“Where are we going?” Reyona asked as she turned to Max.

“We are travelling?” Allysyn asked simultaneously.

“You didn’t know?” Reyona asked automatically.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Not this part,” Allysyn said with an accusatory tone as she looked at Maxwell.

Yeah, a diva alright.

Then the adult expression on her face morphed into an excited look as she squealed with her hands flailing up and, “I have school tomorrow, but I love this! I have never been on a plane in all of my life! Can we go now?!”

*******

Reyona had just settled down into her seat when Maxwell asked who would like to see how Stefan and his copilot handled the controls.

“Me! Me!! Me!!!” The kids chorused excitedly.

Reyona smiled as Maxwell kissed her hand and told her they would be right back.

She sat back and turned her head towards the window.

They were leaving Kayooma behind already.

The man would never stop amazing her.

Who could have thought she would be stepping out of Kayooma that day?

As she tried to imagine where he could be taking her, she wondered if they would be back home that day.

Not that she was much needed at the company now anyway.

Samantha had taken over most of her work at this point after all.

She was thinking of making her managing director of ReyDexter.

She was capable and Reyona could have the time to focus on her family for now.

Then there was the thought of further expansion that had been teasing her mind since the Summit Edge….

The sound of footsteps made Reyona look in the direction of the cockpit.

Her eyes widened when she saw Junior coming forward with a bouquet of tulips in his hand.

He was dressed in a tuxedo with a boutonniere.

Like a soldier on his most important mission, he marched to her with a big grin on his face.

Then he handed her the bouquet.

Reyona’s eyes glistened as he leaned over, puckered his lips and kissed her cheek before he said, “You are very beautiful, Reyona.”

“Thank you,” Reyona said in a shaky tone as she swiped at her eyes.

He stepped aside and Allysyn went in.

Reyona blinked back tears as she saw how radiant Allysyn looked.

She had on a purple ball gown with the most exquisite pearls entwined in the neckline of the off-shoulder gown.

She had on a princess tiara set with different coloured stones.

“You look so beautiful” Reyona breathed as the girl came closer to her.

Allysyn smiled broadly before she whipped out what she held behind her.

It was a bejewelled tiara set in the semblance of a crown.

She leaned closer to Reyona with the raised crown in her hands.

Reyona automatically leaned forward so she could set it on her head.

“You are the bravest, kindest and most loving queen in the whole world, Reyona,” Allysyn said while fixing the crown.

Then she leaned down and kissed Reyona’s other cheek.

“You are our queen. Our Amazon.” She said with a keen look in her eyes before she stepped back.

“Oh my god,” Reyona said with tears as she gave up on trying to stem them.

Then he stepped in.
