“Holy shit.” She muttered under her breath.“Reyna!!!” The lady yelled out, garnering attention from the people that were around.“Hey..it’s you..“ Reyna awkwardly said as she moved beside Niko who was still trying to put two and two together.He ordered the food before finally going to sit beside the two girls, his eyes glancing between them.“Who is this hot guy here? Won’t you introduce him?” The girl said, chewing her mouth loudly as her eyes feasted on Niko.“I’m her boyfriend.” Niko replied even before Reyna could talk.There was a bit of shock on the girl's face, her mouth stopping for a few seconds as her head slowly turned to Reyna, meeting Reynas eyes that were widened and her lips pressed together.“What! Are you joking?” She scoffed and laughed out at the same time.“What? What do you mean is she joking? I’m her boyfriend, who are you?” Niko retorted, feeling annoyance coursing through his veins.“You can’t possibly be her boyfriend. You’re too cute for her.” She said as s
Silent ensued through the room. All of them awkwardly glancing at each other without spouting a word. Alan looked at Reyna who looked at Niko after.“I’m Niko. What’s your name?” Niko finally said, earning a small smile from Reyna.“Alan.” He answered as his eyes went to him.“How are you feeling?” Niko asked again before looking at Reyna who nodded at him.He has not really dealt with kids like this from a long time ago. From the time his brother started seeing him as the villain, he had done all things in his power to stay away from kids and not let them bother him.“I’m fine.” Alan retorted before Reyna passed him his lunch box.“Are you treating my sister well?“ Alan spoke up, making Niko cock a brow towards Reyna.Maybe this was their bond after all. Caring about each other and asking about each other.“Of course! Do you think km going to let her tiny body become tinier?” Niko retorted as he dashed a smile to Reyna who rolled her eyes at him.“Have your eaten Alan? He brought you
“Reyna!!” Niko yelled from the sitting room.It was the date yet and his grandfather had called him more than five times now. Reyna was inside her room, dressing up like she said. And he was getting impatient already.“Can you please come down?“ he yelled out again.“I’m coming!” He heard her reply to him before hearing the door open.His eyes dashed up as he waited for her to arrive. Immediately she showed up, his heart skipped a beat as he gazed at her. There was this princess look on her face, her hair packed in a ponytail with a black purse in her hand. His eyes travelled down her gown and it made his throat hitch out to say something. The blue gown was fitted from the upper part, protruding the breast part of the dress but became a flair after her waist, stopping after her knees. As she stepped down, the frontline of the dress became more visible to him, it was cut on her chest but covered down to her wrist.“Like what you see?” She winked at him as she turned around in front of
They all started eating after the little taunt but Nicholas' eyes were on both of the couple. Reyna faced her food, while Niko did the same.“So tell me about yourself young girl..” Nicholas spoke up as Reyna raced her head up to meet his eyes.“I’m a finalist in my university. I have a younger brother who is currently not feeling fine and my parents are no more.” She replied with a small smile at the corner of her lips.Niko reached to hers and squeezed it tightly, making Reyna look at him and smile. Nicholas' eyes did not skip this little moment and noted it down to himself.“I'm sorry for that.” He butt in as he looked at Reyna.“It’s nothing. I’ve gotten over it.” She replied with a small laugh before continuing with her food.“How did you guys meet?”he asked again.Reyna gulped down at this question, she and Niko had practiced it over and over again, not wanting to miss a detail or make the man suspicious.“I was having some issues with my uncle and he helped me with it. And afte
It was a Monday morning and Reyna’s alarm had just disrupted the whole room. She fluttered her eyebrows before finally opening her eyes. Stretching and yawning on the bed, she turned to the other side before finally remembering it’s Monday morning and she had the grumpy teachers class this early morning.“Ahhhh!” She shrieked as she sat on her bed.She checked the time only to find out that it was already some minutes past seven. She quickly said her short morning prayer before peeling her clothes off her body and making her way towards the bathroom. Packing her hair into a high ponytail, she took her brush and started scrubbing her teeth, moving the brush to different parts of her teeth. She rinsed her mouth after brushing her teeth before turning on the warm part of the shower and allowing the water to do its cool, bristling thing on her body as she kept on scrubbing her body. Her mind went back to the late dinner at Nikos grandfather's house. After the issue with Lena, everything b
Reyna rushed out of the class at the end of the day.“Wait up!” Larissa called out.Reyna stopped in her tracks before turning to face Larissa. It felt like ages that the both of them had talked and she couldn’t even figure why.“How are you doing?” Larissa asked.“I’m good. It seems like ages that I’ve seen you. What’s wrong?” Reyna asked with cocked brows.“I’m tired, exhausted and drained! My partner knows nothing about our project, and I have to do everything alone! And he won’t even show up, nor say anything. He’ll just be there, chatting away, or eating or doing things…” she yelled out before Reyna cut her off.“Have you eaten?” Reyna smiled at the passersby.Larissa yelling has drawn their attention and now she has to keep smiling at them.“Nope! I’m also hungry!“ she shrieked before walking away.Reyna sighed, hearing her stomach grumble, she decided to take Larissa to the restaurant and eat as well.“Wait up!” She called out.*********“Thank you. I feel like my brain is cool
Chapter 74“Wow!” Alan exclaimed as his eyes roamed the house.Niko has sent the driver to come and get them at the hospital and she had brought him home. Even though she has tried to preach to him in the car not to be really dazed and should act normal, he still ended up exclaiming out for everyone to hear.“You’ve been living here Reyna! This is real shit!” He cursed out.“Language.” Reyna chastised.“Don’t worry. But this place is so beautiful!” He exclaimed again before moving towards the entrance.Reyna rolled her eyes at the way he was acting before packing the things out of the car. Bowing down to the driver as a sign of respect, she closed the door before making it to the door. “This is so beautiful Reyna. This family has a lot of money..” he added again as his eyes shone in happiness.“Just wait till you see inside.” Reyna raised her brow at him before pressing the passcode and the door opened.“Wow! This is so nice. Technology, I like it!” Alan muttered to himself as he wal
“What’s wrong with Niko?” Alan immediately asked Reyna after her statement.“Nothing. He’s fine. I just want to talk about some things with you.” She replied as her hand traveled to his laps.“Do you like him? Are you okay with him?” She asked, a look of concern on the corners of her face.“Of course!” Alan half yelled as a smile lit up his face.“He’s just like the big brother I never had. He’s nice and thoughtful, he has lots of money. And most importantly he’s nice, he got me a tab just because I survived my operation. I don’t want to imagine the whole lot of things he’ll have got you.” Alan added.Reyna smiled at this, wondering if all he said was true. Although she and Niko might have started on the wrong foot, there’s no point lying that he wasn’t nice and not a gentleman. Like the time he got her food in the hospital, or the occasional waking her up to go to school, to not miss that, to take her to the hospital. Everything amounts to something.“Of course he is very nice. I’m g
" 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
