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.

    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

    “We’re here.” Dylan said as he killed the engine of the car.He turned to see Reyna fast asleep beside him. Her head that rested on the car seat was almost at the edge. He tapped her gently as she fluttered her brows before seating up again.“Ohh. I slept off.” She said as a yawn escaped her lips.Reyna did not get enough rest from the other night because she was bothered about her brother and Niko and also about her project.“Let’s go.” Dylan spoke out as he opened the car door.Carrying her bag off her laps, she opened the door and came out with a leg first before finally pulling all her body out of the car. The sun rays hit her eyes making her close it a bit before opening it back.“We’ll be going to the third floor, I think they have the things we require.” Dylan told her before they both made their way towards the building.As they got to the security checkpoint, they bowed down to them and opened the gate for them without questioning who they are or where they were from.“Is th

    “Is Reyna home yet?” Niko asked as he entered the house.Going to the office everyday, and coming back to meet Alan seated in front of the television or pressing his iPod was the best view. It made him look like a father, something he wasn’t ready for and at the same time ready for. Reyna would be the first to get home but would lock herself in her room, the sound of machines revving throughout the house, and some music also in the air.She was dealing with her project and really needed to focus on it. As he walked in with a tired look on his face, Alan gave him the same answer he always got;“Yes, she’s busy.” He replied.He raised his brows and sighed before collapsing on the chair. Alan looked over at Niko and noticed how tired he looked,“What’s wrong with you?” He asked.“I’m just tired.” Niko retorted.A yawn escaped his lips before he finally carried his suitcase and walked up the stairs to his room. They still had three hours before dinner, he should take a nap and then come t

    “Good morning.” Niko greeted as he walked inside the house.There was no one to give him reply, making him yawn out and drop his suitcase on the chair. The night meeting had taken him to midnight and he could not risk driving back home since he was so tired. He slept in the hotel that they did the meeting and woke up late this morning to start coming home.“Is anyone in this house?” He yelled out again.But still there was no reply. He climbed the stairs and made his way to knock on reynas room when he remembered that today was the weekend.“Have your beauty sleep well.” He muttered before stumbling towards his room.He had talked his way to the woman's heart before she decided on giving them the deal. She was a talker, and also a good listener. He made sure to say everything she wanted to hear and she finally gave them the deal. Now, all he had to do was branch the company and submit the document to Lucas before taking his flight.“Arghhhh!!” He groaned out as he stretched his body.

    “So after all the banging and waking us up, there’s no single food that we can eat in this house?” Niko asked as he got downstairs.“I was actually waiting for you to come and help us with that, and since you’re here. Let’s start. I’ll watch and learn today.” Reyna smiled at him before hopping to the kitchen.Niko looked at her with squinted eyes before sighing. Thank God he hasn’t taken his bath, if not, he was sure he would take another one before leaving.“I’ll join too. I want to learn how to cook!” Alan yelled from the sideline.Niko nodded before leading them to the kitchen.“What do you all want to eat today? Whatever you want to eat would be prepared.” He said as he turned to face them.“The simplest and fastest breakfast. I have somewhere I need to be so I can’t be late.” Reyna smiled at him before walking to the dining table.Niko just looked at her, sighed and shook his head before starting to cook. He should have known it was a trap and she wouldn’t join him in cooking.“D

    Niko got into the car as his driver drove out of the little motel they had asked him to come. His hand clenched the paper in his hands with a surge of victory, and also a nostalgic sense of foreboding washing over him. He was now dealing with an underground man, someone with connections and wouldn’t think twice before killing someone. His mind went to Reyna and Alan whom he had left at home and the word of Alvarez rang in his ears,“…a girlfriend who has a little brother.”How did he find this out in a short period? They scheduled the meeting the last two days, where they had gotten to know each other and now he knows about Reyna and Alan. But he also knew he had a younger brother. He didn’t dig into it, but Lucas had mentioned it to him this morning before he climbed the plane and told him to be careful because the man was a dangerous pest.“For someone called dangerous, he doesn’t exactly wear it.” Hr muttered before opening the file he got from them.And on top of it was the transf

    “Fine! Fine! You don’t have to shout like I’m doing one big favor to you guys! Like I promised, I’ll come to check on you every week if I’m lucky and you must call me everyday.” Reyna yelled at them.“Yes boss!” Both Niko and Alan yelled out playfully.She scorned them before tapping her hand on her chin, thinking of what else she could use as a criteria.“No disturbing the old man! No trouble! Listen when you’re being taught and don’t go past anywhere they don’t put you okay?” She added as Alan nodded joyfully.“Is that all?” Niko interrupted with a mocking smile.“You’re supposed to help me, not like joining hands.” She muttered before rubbing her forehead.“I wouldn’t have released him if I didn’t have things to work on. Immediately, I’m done sorting my things out, I'm coming to get him, so don’t think you won over this.” She pointed a finger to Nikos eyes as a smile bloomed over his face.“Calm down mum. He’s going to be fine, my grandfather is not a dragon or a wolf, he’s going

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

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.

    " 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.

    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.

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?

    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
