Reyna was finally able to fall asleep, waking up when everywhere was dark already as her stomach grumbled in anger. Stretching her body and stifling her yawn back into her throat, her stomach grumbled out again making her sigh exasperatedly.

She should have at least collected the snacks box from him and she could have munched it now in peace without having to open the door. After easing herself, she made her way to her door, opening her door with a creak before walking down the stairs.

“You’re awake.” She heard him say as her heart sank loudly.

“Seems you don’t even want to see me at all.” He muttered with a raised brow as Reyna continued to walk down the stairs.

“I prepared dinner, let’s eat.” He said as he walked to the table.

Reyna glanced at the table, her stomach growling at the sight of it as she mustered all her courage to not go and eat with him.

He stomach grumbled loudly again, leaving her with no choice than to walk towards him and join him at the table.

    “Since he’s coming here, when he gets here, we’ll discuss whether he can still access it or not.” She said as she walked to a couch, taking her seat and staring at Nicholas.James looked back and forth between both of them as he took his own seat, his father doing the same with the two lawyers Nicholas brought. Immediately they were all seated, Nicholas called a number,“Go to my grandson's house. Bring him and his girlfriend here immediately. And pick the lawyer up at his house.” He said before cutting the call.“Now, all we have to do is wait for him to get here.” He said with a smile.•••••••••••Niko and Reyna had both settled to watch a movie when his phone rang and the security called to tell him that someone was waiting for him at the door. It was at this moment that a message entered his phone from his grandfather, telling him to follow the man that he sent with Reyna because they were about to call the inheritance requirements.“We have to go.” He said to Reyna.“Where?” She

    Niko returned home immediately. Calling his grandfather and telling him about what they said next, he was asked to leave everything and return home immediately. He entered the house and packed his car, signaling for one of the guards to step forward,“If anyone asks me, I’m not at home. Let them know that.” He said as he walked in.They could notice how dull his voice sounded as they nodded to him, telling him to make his way inside and leaving everything to them. He locked his door well, making sure all entrances to the house were closed as he walked further in. He scrunched his brows as he saw her sleeping on the couch. He wanted to go over to wake her up but stopped halfway.She had drawn the boundary between them, and it wasn’t in the night where she needed to be in the room. She could still be here since it was just a few minutes till afternoon. He had just taken the first step when he heard her murmur something, he stopped in his tracks, everywhere eerily silent as he waited for

    Niko had been called to the house, and he left immediately. He tried to shove the thoughts of Reyna to one part of his mind. He wasn’t a fool, if a girl was really interested in a guy, she wouldn’t think twice before saying yes to his proposal, and Reyna just showed she had no plan of taking things devoid with him.Her words came stabbing his heart back. Fake relationships here, and fake relationships there. And he had let a word that might have just slipped through her lips without her knowing cloud his emotions and allowed him tell his true intentions. Because of what! Love!The thought of it made him scoff. A sigh escaped his lips as he drove into his fathers mansion. He packed the car and got down immediately, making his way to the room where they were all waiting for him already.“You’re late again.” His brother called out.“It’s too early this morning to be calling a family meeting and expecting me to arrive here early since you all don’t need to drive here.”“No one sent you f

    Reyna and Niko were carried back home by the guards after a little chat with his grandfather who still had eyes on both of them.“Thanks,” Niko said, slamming the door shut as he walked into the house with his hand intertwined with Reyna’s.He closed the door as they entered, pinning her against it as he swooped her in for a long kiss. His hands kept on roaming all around her, going underneath her cloth, and moving everywhere, leaving nowhere untouched.“What's it?” Reyna said as she pulled away from him.“Nothing. Nothing.” Niko replied, shaking his head negatively as his lips curled up at her.“Okay. Okay.” Reyna said, her palms touching his chest as she created more space for her to pass.“I’m kind of tired already..” she started, moving slowly away from him.“So it would be best if we can just sleep, and take a nap. Then we can continue in the evening.” She added, smiling at him before nodding her head and walking away.“Alright then.” Niko called out as he rushed to her,“Till ev

    After eating, they both settled down for a movie, cuddled against each other. Niko excused himself after a while as he made his way upstairs. He punched a few strings of number into his phone before dialing it out,“Hello.. are you asleep?” He asked with scrunched brows.“Are you blind? Can’t you see it’s past eleven already?” Joe muttered angrily.“I’m sorry. I got a lead about Reyna. And I wanted to share it with you.”“Be fast with it.” Joe replied.“So I met this man who claims Reyna has a huge resemblance to a man in the higher connection and business world. I don’t know how true this is but I was wondering if you could set up a meeting between this man and I..”“Let’s discuss the rest in the office tomorrow morning. I really can’t hear anything.” Joe cut him off immediately, hanging the call.Niko sighed as he put his phone back into the pocket, approaching the seating room where he went back to what he was doing before, cuddling with Reyna.************The both of them fell a

    “Ohh..” Dylan said with widened eyes.He clenched his jaw, looking away from her as his heart wrenched in pain.“I..I..wasn’t..I..” Reyna tried to say, but could not even see the words forming in her mouth.“It’s fine. It’s fine.” Dylan replied, his heart squishing as he saw her hand reaching out to him.“I’ll see you later.” He said, hurriedly packing his things as he walked out on her.Reyna felt a weight lifted on her chest at the same time, not feeling as good as she thought this would be. She hasn’t imagined him walking out on her when she says it but what the hell was she expecting?Another sigh escaped her lips as she threw her head to the wall of the chair, closing her eyes for a split second before opening it back.“Reyna!” She heard someone yell out her name, jolting her out of her thoughts.“Larissa..” she called out dryly.Larissa stumbled to where Dylan was seated before, glancing at her surroundings to see if no one saw her before turning to face Reyna tiredly.“You were

    Reyna walked into the house feeling bloated. She couldn’t even explain why she felt that way but she wasn’t feeling good with herself. Dylan's reaction had so affected her, and spoiled all her plans to tell Niko that she was ready to submit the designs even to Alvarez.Her phone vibrated in her hand, raising it as she stared at the screen to see Larissa's name boldly written on it. A sigh escaped her lips before she picked the call,“Hey. How are you? I’m outside your house.” She heard her say.Her eyes widened as she dropped her bag, her feet hurriedly moving towards the door and flinging it open to meet Larissa conversing with the guards.“Wait! Wait! She’s my friend!” She yelled out as she rushed towards them.The guards looked back and forth between Reyna and Larissa before releasing Larissa’s hand.“How do you know I'm staying here?” Reyna asked with raised brows once they allowed her in.“Because I followed you.” Larissa replied, her eyes roaming through the entire building.“Wo

He drove them off in silence, although he had a lot of things he wanted to talk to her about, he was nervous to tell her what was on his mind.Larisa on the other hand was getting impatient due to the silence between her and Lucas because she had wanted to be alone with him all day and s

    " Hello beautiful, how was your day? Niko said and Reyna blushed at his words over the phone. she knew he was calling her to congratulate her on her success" Hi Niko. where are you?. you missed the whole thing " she said with a pout" I'm so sorry I was held up at work that's why but I'm here now.

    Jeremy and Niko both laughed it off and just had an handshake and both hugged each other. Reyna came downstairs to meet them. “What? You think I wouldn’t say a personal goodbye to you?” Reyna said as she smiled, making Jeremy also smile. “Bye. Do have a safe trip.” Reyna said, hugging Jeremy and giving him a peck on his cheek. “Thank you. I sure will.” Jeremy said as he laughed and said his goodbye to Niko and Reyna. “You both take good care of yourself.” He added as he hoped in his car to take his leave. The engine revved and the car left the building not long after.

    “Thank you.” Jeremy said excited about Reyna agreeing to come see him sometimes and just then Niko made his way back to where he’d left Reyna and Jeremy. Jeremy’s guard came in almost at the same time too to get Jeremy’s stuff. “Careful with that bag, take that first and you can come in for the other.” He told his guard who immediately heeded to the instruction. “I also want to have a word with you, Niko.” Jeremy said as Niko was about to seat, Niko stood back up immediately. “Oh No. Seat, please.” Jeremy said while also having his seat back too. “I’ll leave you both, I need a shower anyway.” Reyna said, standing up and heading into the room. “Okay.” Niko said. “Take care dear.” Jeremy said to her because he knew he might not get the opportunity to see her before he leaves, she seemed tired and had yawned before leaving and he wouldn’t want to disturb her by asking her to wait behind. “So, Niko. I just wanted to say I’m sorry.” Jeremy started and Niko looked sur

    2 “Goodness, I am so full.” Reyna laughed, rubbing her belly. “I can’t believe we left Lucas and Larissa there alone.” She added. “Why? They’re adults, they need some alone time just as much as we do, Hence the reason we’re going home for a night of Netflix and chill.” Niko said seductively, raising both eyebrows. “Hmm. Really?” Reyna said equally trying to be seductive too. “We could start the “chilling” here too.” She added, rubbing her palm on his thigh. “No. I love my life, Reyna. Let me live. Not here.” Niko immediately protested and they both laughed. Getting home Niko drove into the building, packed the car properly and both of them got out laughing. They got inside the house to see Jeremy packing his bags, Reyna and Niko looked at each other in confusion, although there was no reason for it. “Oh, you guys are back.” Jeremy said, zipping one of the bags he had packed already. “Yes, we are.” Niko said. “What’s going on?” He added and raised one of his eyebrows in
