“You made the right choice.” His father eyed him before walking towards the security.Niko looked towards his car, Reyna meeting his eyes from the car to see a smirk on his face. She pulled her brows together, wondering why he still allowed them to enter after all that.“I want to see you inside now!” His father yelled after.Joe rushed towards Niko but he stopped him with a finger.“Don’t worry about me. Make sure she doesn’t come out. They’re here for her, not me.” He said, cleaning his mouth before walking out.He approached the gate, giving the securities a look of despair before walking in.****“What is a girl slippers doing in your house?” His father asked.“I don’t know. Didn’t you hear James before slapping me? I have a girl, it’s her slippers. She’s not in the house.”“What’s her name?” James interfered.“What for?” Niko asked him with his furrowed brows.“Can’t I know my brother's girlfriend's name? Isn’t it something ideal?” James asked.“How about that worker that you do
“What’s wrong with my Face?” Niko asked, his hands fumbled on his face touching every nook and cranny of it.“It swelled up already. You have a red patch on your cheek.” She added.Niko touched the place where his father had slapped him only to discover that he was feeling a slight pain on it.“It’s nothing.” He said immediately.“You don’t have to worry about it.” He added before smiling and looking at her small head that peeked out of the door.“Can you come out and eat dinner? It’s getting cold already.” He said.Reyna eyed him, her thought going to the first time they had met, he had looked like a strong guy who could protect himself but yet his father had slapped him and there was his print and a red mark on his cheeks.“But I ordered food already….” She drawled out.“It doesn’t matter. We’ll keep that one and eat it tomorrow and we’ll eat the one I prepared tonight.” He said, pulling her hand from the little space and dragging her towards the kitchen.Reyna felt her brows pull t
“Niko.” He said angrily.“What’s wrong with you! Can’t you just leave me alone!” She yelled out.“It’s past eleven, your phone has been ringing and I thought today was your brother's operation. Has it been cancelled?” He said annoyingly before walking away from the door.Reyna slept back, her hands clutching the pillow and curling like a baby on the bed before Niko words sinked in her head. She jumped off the bed immediately, the sleep in her eyes long gone as she flew to the door.“Heyyyyyy” she yelled out.Reyna gulped down, finding no one in sight before she walked back inside her room. Her eyes darted to her phone only to see eight missed calls from Dylan.“Ahhhhh!!!” She yelled out.Peeling off the dresses off her body was no problem for her..“Ahhha..ahh.” She groaned out as her leg hit the table.Rushing to the bathroom, she hurriedly turned on the shower, scrubbing her body with her hand before washing it away with the water. The operation was starting by twelve and she had to
“Deal maker?” Niko frowned his face as he heard this.Reyna gulped down, her eyes meeting with Alan’s for a split second before darting to Niko.“Is that what she told you about me?” Niko squinted his eyes at her.The doctor entered with some other nurses at this moment, catching everyone off guard as they walked to Alan. Reyna's heart skipped a beat as her eyes met with Alan’s. She put her hand in his, squeezing his palm tight as she smiled at him.“You can make it okay, everything will be fine at the end, you don’t need to worry about anything, the only thing you’re worrying about is how to survive okay?” Reyna said to him as tears started to form in her eyes.“It’ll all be fine. You don’t need to cry okay? Be strong for me, and I’ll be for you also.” Alan said as they started disconnecting the plugs on his body.Niko just looked at the both of them and for some reason, his heart clenched at the chemistry they both shared. Amidst all the chaos, she still liked her brother and stood
“Ahhhhhhh!” Reyna yelled out in happiness.Her face shone of joy and smile, she felt an indescribable kind of joy feeding her heart as the doctor's word continued to ring in her head. Her brother, Alan had survived. Alan, Alan, has become someone that doesn’t need to seat him the hospital bed.“But you can’t see him now, it would be better if you come back tomorrow morning, early, to see him because right now, he’s sleeping.”“Can’t we just have a glimpse of him?” Larissa spoke up.“Excuse me,” Reyna said as she pushed the doctor away lightly.Her eyes softened as she saw her younger brother wheeled out of the theatre room and back to his ward. She felt tears form in her eyes as she moved forward to touch him only to be pulled away by the doctor.“It would be better if you leave now or I call the security in you, your choice to say.““And I'd like to see if you’ll be able to keep your job if the head doctor heard what you did.” Reyna retorted as she stared hard at the doctor.He gulpe
“Where the hell is she?” Niko yelled out for the tenth time.He picked up his phone again, pressing the last number he called as it rang out again, the same robotic reply echoing through the room again.“The person you’re calling is not answering.” The machine said before he angrily hung up the call.This was some minutes to eight pm and she was not at home. His veins popped up on his head as he clenched his jaws tightly. He walked out of his room with his phone in his hands as he heard a little creak of the door.“Fuck! Where the heck is she!” He yelled out the house.His feet moved quickly to the seating room, deciding on seating there and waiting for her till she got back. He hadn't sat for a minute so he stood up back and started pacing back and forth the room. She knew she was supposed to be at home by this time. But she never follows the instructions, she never listens to him.He picked up his phone from where he dropped it when he wanted to sit down as he put another call acros
Throughout the car ride, no word was said to each other. They both stayed on their part, annoyance and anger invading the whole car. Reyna faced the window, staring at it while Niko just drove home as he tried to focus on the road. He kept seeing her smiling face in his head, especially with another guy and it infuriated him the more. Immediately they got home and he parked the car, Reyna did not say anything as she got out of the car and slammed the door, her feet moving towards the entrance.“You were out late. I had no choice than to come and get you. You can’t just be angry at me for that.” Niko said to her immediately they got inside the house.“Is that why you dragged me like that! Is that why you think you can just come and get me without even giving me any chance to talk or do anything to myself!” She yelled out to him.“I didn’t mean it to happen that way. I was just annoyed at the fact that I was worried about you and you were there, seated there, smiling at someone.” He ret
“Ughhh.” Niko groaned out as he tried to reach out his phone whose ringing tone was piercing his ears.He slammed the bedside lamp on the floor, finally jolting him out of his sleep as he sat up to pick the call. His eyes widened as he saw the caller and all the sleep in his eyes was long gone as he finally picked it.“Hello grandfather.” He greeted as he stood up and yawned.“Brat! Did I have to call you twenty times before you pick my call!” His grandfather shouted playfully through the phone.“I wonder which doctor is treating you and has kept on deceiving you that heart attack is real.” Niko joked as he walked to the mirror, checking out his abs and stretching them out.“Are you saying I’ll die early?” His grandfather said again, an evident of mockery laced in his tones.“Did I say that grandfather? All I’m saying is that you should change your doctor because he has been lying to you all along.” A smile tugged the corners of his lips as he said this.His mother’s father was a fath
" 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
