Reyna woke up early the next day, leaving home earlier before Niko even woke up to start cooking. He had just finished cooking and expected her to be down there, waiting a few minutes again before deciding to check up on her. He knocked, and knocked without reply before opening the door to meet a beautifully arranged bed and an empty room. Raising his brows and dropping them again, he walked out to his room, a sigh escaping his lips as he prepared for work.No one needed to tell him why she had left home so early, she would want to avoid the eyes of her classmates from the previous embarrassment which made him annoyed. He picked up his phone, dialing Lucas' number as he dropped it on his dressing table, laying his suit out.“Hey..”“Are you coming to the office today?” Lucas questioned immediately.“Yes and I want you to get in contact with my brother, has he submitted anything?” He asked.“Yeah. He submitted their investors and the project I asked him to work on.” Lucas replied.“Tel
“So what is it you want to change in this now?” James asked.“The deal had some mistakes in it, and we can’t work on it until we make the changes.” Lucas replied.“What should I change in it?” James asked, his butt rocking the chair and his eyes checking all the offices.“Everything.” Lucas said, making James whip his head towards him.“What!” He snapped.“The deal is very bad, and because of your efforts and how genuine you seem to want to work with nirvana, we won’t want to spend our resources with something like this.”“We think if it would be something along the entertainment genre that something of your deal is written in, not the business part. It’s too..” Lucas said, tapping his hands gently on the table.“It’s not what we’re looking for.” He concluded.All the hope James had in mind shattered that instant, his jaws clenched together and gritting his teeth amidst it.“Then what the heck! Why did you call me here! What is the essence!” James raged out.“This is an office setting
“My boy, what’s wrong with you?” James' mother rushed down the stairs.“I need to speak to all of you now, if not, the rich lifestyle you think you’re living now would be gone in a twinkle of an eye.” He added, ignoring his mother and walking to a chair to sit down.“And what does that mean?” His father walked down the stairs with his grandmother by his side.“He looks distressed. What could be going on with him?” Grandmother said before walking to her son.“Tell us what’s wrong. You can’t solve this alone.” She added.“Ohh! You want to know what’s wrong, how about you all sit down and I explain to you about the company state that might collapse two days from now.” He brushed them away as their heart sank loudly.Exchanging glances with her son, his grandmother sat down immediately and looked at James, waiting for him to say something.“What’s wrong?” Douglas asked.“So Nirvana promised us a deal..”“That’s good news.” His mom chipped in with a smile on her lips.“That’s not okay!” He
Clenching his jaw so tight as he could, he could only stand there and watch their interactions, the both of them playing with each other. Dylan would turn to Reyna and say some words to her, earning a smile while he just stood there and watched her.“What’s your business with them?” A voice startled him, making his heart skip a beat as he turned back to see who was talking.Joe eyed him as he looked at the direction he was looking at.“She looks…happy.”“She’s not sad with me too, mind your words.” Niko retorted.“Good then. Let’s go. I have something to tell you.”“I’m taking her home with me. I’m not leaving here until I see her.” Niko said, standing rooted to the ground.“Okay then.” Joe replied.The door opened all of a sudden as Nikos eyes widened, Joe walked to where Reyna was seated and tapped her, making Niko turn away from them.“I’m going to kill that son of a butch.” He muttered under his breath.After saying some words to her, Reyna nodded and looked back at Dylan. Some ot
“Shit!” Reyna muttered as she clenched her jaw.“Reyna, is that you?” His voice echoed out through the room.Niko looked at the man that was talking before looking at Reyna. He had seen this person somewhere, but he couldn’t figure out where he saw this man. Somewhere, in a..:“Who is he?” He whispered to Reyna’s ear.“Let’s leave this place. Please…..let’s leave this place.” She whispered, her hands tugging his.“So this is what you’ve been doing all this days? Following a man all around!” He yelled into her face before looking at Niko.His eyes sized Niko up, finally resting on Niko eyes.“You’re the playboy of that family. Your brother is there, working his ass out and you’re here, taking a girl that’s not worth anything out.”“Excuse me..”“Keep quiet.” Reyna uncle shut him off before dragging Reyna out of that place.Niko stood there rooted, not knowing what to do or what to say. His eyes went to Joe who was already at the counter, ordering some food. He walked towards him, placi
Niko carried Reyna into her room even though she was wide awake. He dropped her gently on the bed, going out back to collect the food from Joe.“What happened?” Joe asked as he passed him the food.“I want you to deal with her uncle. He trespassed, deal with him.” Niko said.“Okay..” Joe said as he turned to leave.“And look more into Reyna for me, I think there’s something we don’t know.” He added before walking away.He climbed the staircase back to Reynas' room, the sound of the bathroom water flowing. He dropped the food on the floor before going to his room to change into casual clothes. He had stood at the door, hearing every word the man said to her.“A dark night..” it rang in his head again.Was Reyna not their child? Or what did he mean? He changed into a short and a top, walking back to Reyna's room to see her face all dried and herself putting on some comfortable clothes.“Let’s eat.” Niko said.“I’m not hungry.” She muttered back.Walking to her bed, he carried the food a
Niko was the one that dropped Reyna off the next day at school, parking in front of the school as he waited for her to drop.“You didn’t need to do this.” Reyna rolled her eyes as she leaned down the car.“Get down and have a fun day at the school. If she bullies you, let me know, I’ll have someone treat her fuck up, understood?” Niko said to her.Reyna lips curled up as she heard this, glancing at him.“You worry too much.” She muttered.“Have loads of fun at school. If anyone tries to bring up her encounter, call me immediately.” He added.“Okay. Okay. Okay daddy.” Reyna said, chuckling after.The words rolled out her mouth in a sexual way, making them exchange a glance.“I’ll get out now.” Reyna cleared her throat, opening the car and getting out of it.Niko smiled as he watched her saunter off the school, the words ‘daddy’ echoing in his brain again. He loved the sound of it, and he wished he had told her ‘take care baby.’Starting the car, he drove out from the school with a happ
After explaining how everything happened, down to the part that he took her hand to Larissa, they finally left the cafeteria. Dragging her to a boutique to buy some pretty dresses and some pretty heels, according to her.“You have the money. Spend a part of yourself.” Larissa said to her.She was right. Maybe she could just dress nice and look good tonight. Not for anything as it was just a harmless date between two project mates.“Alright.” She said, delving more into the ranges of cloth put up.“This red should fit you. What about this white? And this pink? Oh gosh, all of this is so pretty..” Larissa rambled out, her eyes gauging each cloth and her hand scanning them.Reyna just followed suit, checking the dresses as Larissa checked them finished.“How about this black?” Reyna asked.“What! You’re not wearing black! Why should you wear black to the date!” Larissa exclaimed, rolling her eyes and walking away.Reyna examined the dress, the texture was soft and the length was somethin
" 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
