“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
Reynas feet moved up the stairs quickly, opening Alan’s room door before slamming the door back and moving towards the room she hasn’t been to since she got to the house. Meeting the door slightly ajar, she didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her that this is where Larissa ran into. With a sigh escaping her lips, she opened the door only to widen her eyes when she saw Larissa fumbling with something in her hands.“What the heck Larissa!”Reyna exclaimed, sauntering into the room as she snatched the teddy bear in her hand.Larissa widened her eyes immediately, guilt washing over her as she pressed her lips together. Her eyes darted to the door, hoping to escape before Reyna could say anything but was met with a flared nose that belonged to Reyna as she got to the door.“Pack your things immediately, you walk out of this room and go home immediately '' Reyna said to her with all seriousness, leaning towards her and turning the door knob for her to walk out.“Ohh.” She heard Larissa mutter a
“And what do we know about this name that you claim we should find him. The last you heard..”“How do you know the last I heard? I haven’t told you, have I?” Niko retorted, raising his brows as he looked at Joe.“Since I don’t know what’s happening here and clearly..” Lucas started, glancing at both of them. “Clearly no one deemed it fit to let me know, how about both of you start from the beginning.” He said dropping the files he picked up before and taking his seat again.Niko looked at Joe who shrugged before taking his seat as Niko did the same.“So where do we start this from?” Joe mumbled, staring at Niko as he waited for him to start.“Reynas' real parents are not her parents. The parents she’s lived with all this while, are not her biological parents.” Niko said.Lucas frowned his face, his brows joining as he squinted his eyes at Niko.“And how do you know that? And how do you even know her real parents? The deal was between her uncle and you before you brought it in with her
“And why did you do that? Was she disturbing you or was she disturbing you? I was just coming to know more about her and the things she can be able to tell me about you.” Niko said, walking close enough to her and taking his seat before picking his container of noodles back.Reyna stared at him, her brows raised as she wondered what he meant by he was just coming to know her. After he left, she had talked Larissa into leaving even if it was not easy and had to promise her an ice cream date, she was still able to get her to leave. She recoiled immediately she felt something touch her arm only to see that it was Niko that tapped her.“What’s wrong with you?” he asked with furrowed brows.“You’re not mad that Larissa entered your room?” Reyna asked as she met his eyes.A smile tugged the corners of his lips down as he smiled at her, “why should I be mad? It’s only a room, it’s not like she went through my things or touched my underwear, or did she do something like that?”“No! No!” Reyna
The next morning, the both of them dressed up, Niko being the first to finish and had already cooked breakfast for both of them. Reyna walked down the stairs in a white jogger and a black crop top that left a little part of her stomach shown.“I love when you wear something like this.”Reyna rolled her eyes as she pulled out a chair and sat on it.“I don’t even know how I got it, I don’t wear this kind of dress, so I don’t...” she started before her eyes went back to Niko.“Did you change my clothes?” she asked with raised brows.Niko looked away from her in guilt, picking up a plate as he dished the food inside it before passing it to her front.“When did you change it and why didn’t I know about it?” she asked, staring at him.“Just eat. You have to agree with me that the clothes are so nice.” He said, pulling a chair out as he took his seat.Reyna rolled her eyes again for the second time, shaking her head with a happy feeling bubbling in her. She hadn’t even noticed but she knew t

" To the new CEO and her company " Joe stood up for the toast and we all did the same thing. " To us " we all yelled and then we drank and then ate that day. All through the dinner,Reyna only thought about one thing all through the night, and it was that she was a contented woman. After the celebration we locked the new building and then decided to head home. We went home in two, Reyna went with Niko while Lucas drove Larisa and Joe home." I will call you when I get home, Reyna, " Larisa said before getting into the car with Lucas and Joe. She waved her hands at Reyna as Lucas started the car and he drove off. Lucas dropped Joe off at his house first because he wanted to have alone time with Larisa. 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
They both got down from the car and then Reyna took in her surroundings. they were at a small exquisite white two storey building and she could see Joe Lucas and Larissa standing in front of the building and the three of them a to Niko with a smile" I have not even done anything for you " he said with a hearty laugh and she looked away from him back at the house. before she could think Larissa was already squealing out and rushing to meet her friend." I am so happy for you, Reyna. You are successful and so beautiful. We made it through, even after all the tough times we had in school and everything we went through. Larissa said to her friend and she laughed at her friend's choice of words." I'm so happy that we made it to Larissa but I wouldn't have been happier and it wouldn't have been possible if not that I had you by my side. you are everything a girl could ever wish for in a best friend. you made me want to get better and even when I was sad about fashion sometimes you made me
" 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. I need you to come out to the parking lot with your things " he told her and she wondered why he asked her to do that but she wanted to see him too so she had no choice" Okay then I will see you soon. let me just grab my things and then wrap things up inside and then I will come to you. "She said" I will be waiting for you then babe. bye " he said and she ended the call. She walked back to Alvarez and then thanked him again before going inside to grab her things. She told Dylan she was leaving and then she left the hall for the parking lot.She was searching for Niko and his car as she thought of what to do when she finally found him. she wondered if she got her a present and if she shoul
Niko left the building and got into his car before hitting the road. He was going to go and see Reyna today because of what he prepared for her. his father had wasted little of his time because of the nonsense he spilled out. It took a lot of self control to hold himself so he wouldn't have to slap his father because the man knew how to get on people's nerves."Call Lucas "Niko told his car and the car began to dial Lucas's number. he drove slowly while waiting for Lucas to pick up. After the third ring Lucas picked up the phone call."What is going on Niko, I was about to call you when I didn't hear anything from you all morning "Lucas said"I'm sorry I was stopped by my father on my way so I had to listen to what he had to say "Niko said and Lucas laughed. "The news came to him and he decided to come and beg didn't he. don't tell me you listened to him because Niko you have a soft heart "Lucas said and Niko smiled"I have a soft heart but only for the kind of people who deserve it a
"If that is all you have to say then I will take my leave now dad, thank you "Niko said with a forced smile. He tried to leave the room but his father blocked the way."Niko, I want to talk to you about something and you are trying to walk off. I am your father "he said and stopped Niko from going away."And I have nothing to hear from you. I have an important meeting to attend to "Niko said but his father held his hand causing him to stop on his track."What do you want now? "Niko hissed out, anger clearly in his voice"Just listen to me son please, let me come in and we can talk about this Niko please give me a chance "he begged and Niko was silent for a while before he finally spoke"Fine you can come in then "Niko said and his father smiled. He let him enter the office and then he closed the door after them."Niko, I will make this very short. I am your father and I raised you with the help of my wife, your mother "he said"You mean my step mother, the same woman who maltreated me
5 Niko had made a new announcement and that was what Jeremy’s guard had shown him, catching everybody completely off guard, Nirvana had announced that they will be signing a new deal with the Lynch group of companies and that there would be percentage for every company that works with Lynch group of companies or have shares in the companies. There have been a lot of rustle and bustle, interviews both TV and personal since Nirvana announced the new deal. It became the talk of the town and for a big company like Nirvana partnering with another Multi billion dollar company, the news soon spread far and wide. “We got a proposal for this deal from the owner himself and we feel so honored to be considered, really and for everyone that believes in us. We all say a big Thank you to you guys. Expect more from us.” Niko said in one of his interviews. “Board meeting, Now.” Niko called and all the board of directors gathered in the meeting room. It had been a busy day for everybody as e
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. They finally got back to the city with Jeremy resting his head on the window and thinking about his meeting with his daughter Reyna and the new memories he looked forward in making with her. Jeremy got home exhausted, making a cup of tea for himself as he thought of everything that has happened these past days. Jeremy thought about visiting his wife’s graveyard before going to the office. Taking a shower, Je
“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
