Chapter 111“Why do I think you’re angry now?” Niko said as he glanced at her.Reyna sighed and faced the window, not saying anything but her mind rummaging through a lot of things. Was she overthinking it or did it just look like they couldn’t tell his grandfather about it.“Reyna…” she heard him blurt again.“I’m thinking about something.” She replied harshly.“And what’s that?” Niko asked again.“I’ve been thinking..” Reyna said, turning away from the window and facing the front.“What’s that?” Niko asked, darting his eyes to her before facing the road again.What was wrong with her? Could she possibly be mad because of what he said? Or what could be wrong with her?“If it’s about..”“About what?” She cut him off fast enough.Niko glanced at her again, this time with raised brows. He couldn’t help but find her actions so weird.“You don’t possibly think I’ll tell my father that we just had sex in his house or what do you expect me to say?”“But you made it seem like having sex with
“That’s good. Can I see a picture?”“Ahh..” the man said, bringing his phone out as he started scrolling on it.“She doesn’t send her pictures to me, but I can give you her number.You can both meet each other the way you youngsters do these days..”“Of course.” Niko replied, hurriedly bringing his phone out before Reyna could see anything.Reyna just stood at one side, watching how they made interactions without including her. And how Niko conversed with the man like she was not here and they were not just talking about him being her girlfriend and knowing what to do and not to do a few minutes back in his grandfather's house.“I’ll give her a call. Thank you sir.” Niko replied, pulling Reyna's hand.“Wait.” The man called out again.The both of them turned to face the man again, Reyna putting up a frown while Niko welcomed him with his smiley face.“What is it Sir?” He questioned.“I’ve seen you somewhere before. She looks like one of my friends..”. The man said, squinting his eyes a
“Ahhh..” the both of them grunted out again as Rebecca collapsed on James.“Get off and put on your things immediately. Leave!” James ordered as he climbed down the bed.“What? Are you just sending me off? Just like that? Because you’re done now!““I don’t have the time.”“Ohh, really?” Rebecca retorted with raised brows.“Alright then.” She finalized, putting on her panties back and starting to wear her clothes.James put on his trouser back, picking his phone from the table as he tapped on it rapidly. After some minutes, he dropped it and walked into the bathroom. Closing the door when a notification chimed up on Rebecca’s phone. She raised her brows and smiled when she read it, but the smile was short lived when she saw the message underneath.“What do you mean I shouldn’t come again!” She yelled.James got out of the bathroom at this time and eyed her, walking to the bed as he pulled the bedsheet on it away.“I don’t need you anymore. From now on, you’re just my maid, nothing less
“What’s she doing here?” He asked again as he glanced between James and his grandmother.“Do you know her?” His mother asked as she eyed Rebecca.“Leave this place now!”He snapped at her as she scurried her feets out of the room.“We’ll come back to that later.” He replied as he took his seat.All eyes went to him as his jaw hardened, his feet rapidly tapping the ground.“What’s that?”“That’s the rejection letter that Nirvana sent us today.” He said before his eyes went to James.James felt some part of him leave him as he heard that. He couldn’t be hearing it well, why…why would nirvana reject them after all he has done?“Are you serious?” His grandmother asked.“You can take it and read it. Coupled with the other shareholders deciding to pull out their funds from the company. Plan on it and tell us the plan we need to take if we don’t want to lose everything.” He hissed as he threw the documents to the table and stood up.Taking one more glance at James, he felt like going over and
“Even if that’s the girl he chose, you won’t accept it?” James' mother asked again, earning a glare from her husband as she kept her mouth quiet immediately.“Call him again. Tell him he needs to be here in the next 30 minutes or else..”“Or else what?” A voice cut her off as they all whipped their heads towards the entrance.Nicholas entered into the room, his stick stepping front before him as he eyed them all. Nikos father has his heart in his hand as he sees the man he had not seen after their daughter died in their hands.“Seems you’re all forgetting who brought you into what you are now.” He added as he took his seat inside the room.Niko entered shortly after that, his hand intertwined with Reyna’s as he bowed to them.“Good evening father, it’s quite late if you ask me. But we still had to be here.”He said, receiving a nudge from Reyna who only greeted them with a nod.They both found a place to sit down, completing the family meeting they’ve been waiting for and waiting for t
Niko whipped his head to James after hearing what he said as he squinted his eyes at him.“What do you mean Nirvana ending? Do you have anything to do with them? What do you think you’re saying?” Niko asked him as James turned to look at him.“How would you know? you’re never at home and never in the company to discuss how it will grow. Do you even have any idea what’s happening to the company?”“Aside from the fact that we’ll be folding up soon? Please enlighten me more.”Niko retorted.James gulped down as he clenched his jaw,“You're more useless than I think.”“Anything that suits you and makes you feel better, little bro. What does that have to do with Nirvana?” He asked again.“Because they made us lose all our shareholders and even didn’t offer him the deal. And now we’re running low and losing shareholders, we need a lot of money to get back on our feet.”“Which is why you need your first son, the playboy.” Nicholas interfered as his eyes darted to Nikos' father.“And what is
“Ahh.” Madison shrieked out on the table, her cheeks turning red as she glared hatefully at Reyna.Niko stood up from the table, taking Reyna’s hand in his and walking away from the table.“We’ll be leaving now. Thanks for the food.” He said.“Sit down young man, who gave you the permission to leave!” He heard his stepmother shriek at him.“I gave him permission for my daughter's hard earned money. Is that a problem?” Nicholas spoke out, standing up as his cane came before him.She looked down immediately and clenched her fist, picking up her spoon with her right hand in shame and could feel the glares on her.“If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving. Sort out your family issues and mail the document for him to collect his inheritance. It won’t be good for you if I decide to take the issue to the court,”“…who knows, maybe the real killer of my daughter might be revealed.” He added as he made his way out of the door.Niko and Reyna followed suit, Reyna casting a glance at Madison’s
Niko and Reyna drove in silence towards the house. Niko glanced at her at intervals as he noticed the lost look in her eyes.“What’s wrong?” He asked after a while.They were almost at home and he didn’t want her to enter the house with such a heavy feeling. Even if he hadn’t gotten the information to know who her real parents were and where she came from, he was sure the news was disturbing her greatly and was just doing her best to conceal it.“I’m fine. I’m fine.” He heard her say as she moved in her seat.She turned her head to the window, watching as all the cars and people moved outside, and for the first time in a long time, she felt sad, Worried, and lost. She thought she had figured out everything, living comfortably, not worrying about her brother again, and having enough money that could sustain her even after the deal, but yet, there was this void that she didn't know how to fill up.“I’m looking into it for you.” Niko raised ho again as he swerved towards the junction of
" 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
