“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

“What do you mean grandfather? What should I not listen to?” Niko asked.“This is not the time to play games Niko. Call the company and tell them not to listen to any word or take any step on what your stepbrother is saying. Once you reply to him, nirvana would lose the standard they all know it to have. Be careful on whatever you do.” Nicholas warned before cutting the call.Niko put his phone in his pocket before recalling his words, bringing it out again as he put a call to Lucas.“Don’t do anything. Let it be. Just leave him and let him rant. We’ll sort the rest when I get back to the office.” He said, waiting for Lucas to finish giving the instructions to call off whatever he had done before cutting the call.He turned to his side to see Reyna seated beside him.“How did it go?” he questioned as he stared at her side face.She turned to look at him as her lips curled into a small smile.“I don’t know yet. All he did was collect my bl0od and carry out some tests on me. I can’t say
“What do you mean her blood type is rare?” Niko questioned again.He glanced at Reyna who was still oblivious to whatever they were both sayings. He looked back at the doctor who pushed his rim glass up his face before clearing his throat.“Do you know the rare blood types?” the doctor asked with raised brows.“I don’t really know them but I’ve heard about it, and it’s n…no...Not really common.“Yeah, that’s why it’s called rare, that’s because it’s not common.” The doctor replied.“And as far as I know and the fact that I’ve been in this field for a long time, only two families have this kind of blood and I have to tell you,” he said as he shook his head slowly.“They’re untouchable.” He added.Niko clenched his jaw as he glanced at Reyna again, still with that look of loss on her face. Niko cleared his throat, reaching out to touch her before she turned to face him.“What?” she muttered faintly.“Thanks, doctor, we’re glad for this.”“I’ll leave you with one thing. The two families
The car stopped in front of the new house Niko was building. Glancing at Reyna who was still wearing the lost look on her face, a sigh escaped his lips before he removed the key and dropped it in the car safe.“Let’s go inside.” He said as he stared at the corner of her face.She shifted in her seat as she looked at him before darting her eyes back towards the house.“What are we doing here?’ she asked faintly with her eyes turned to him.“Just step down from the car and you’ll see what I have in store for you,” Niko said to her as he opened the car door.He walked towards her door, opening the door before Reyna carried her leg and stepped foot outside the door. A lot of things were going on in her mind, more than whatever Niko had in store. She needed to meet her uncle, and whomever Niko was also planning to meet. She has to know her real father, and her mother and why they had dumped her as her uncle said. The low sound of the door closing pulled her out of her reverie as she furr
By the time Reyna woke up, it was evening already and the movie has long been turned off by Niko.“Sleeping beauty…” she heard him call out before she tilted her head to where his voice was coming from.He was setting the table, and she furrowed her brows when she saw more than two plates on the table from where she was seated. As she opened her mouth to talk, a yawn escaped her lips,“Are we having visitors?” she said in between yawning.Her feet moved up and carried her to where Niko was busy setting the table. A loud shriek came from somewhere, scaring her out of her wits as she saw Alan for a brief second before he engulfed her in a hug.“Sister, you look so pretty!” he yelled out.Reyna’s eyes went to Niko, who was avoiding her gaze. Before she could say anything again, she raised her head to see Niko’s grandfather, carrying a tray that was quickly intercepted by Niko and dropped to the table.“And just because you saw her now, you left me all in the kitchen and could not even ca
" 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
