last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

“Learning is more fun when you aren’t hungry” Larissa says with a smile as they left the last class for the day, as she had eaten before the class, she had understood better.

Reyna on the other hand didn’t mind since she was used to attending classes and working on empty stomach and the food made no difference.

“Are you sure that it’s the food or you are just a foodie, you snacked during the third class and I’m certain you had breakfast also.” She teased while making notes in her head about her schedule.

She currently had to go to the diner after which she would go to Maxwell’s house to tutor him since he had an exam soon. As for the hotel work, after yesterday, she had no interest in it at all.

“Are you going to the dorm with me?” Lisa asks despite her knowing the answer “I’m sure you know I’m not, however, I’ll be back soo….” She’s unable to complete her words as a luxury black car parked beside them with a loud screech startling both girls as they move backwards immediately.

    CHAPTER THIRTEENSoon they were parked in front of Ninth heaven and Reyna looked at him cautiously. As if sensing her thoughts, Niko glanced at her, “it’s day time and ninth heaven only takes day time meeting bookings by this time so you can be rest assured that your ‘reputation’ would be untainted” he said his emphasis on reputation didn’t escape her attention. The man from earlier led them down hallways and stopped at a door on the second floor. Like she had guessed, they didn’t go to the underground.There was a man in the room and he looked up as the both of them entered and nodded, Reyna had no idea who he was nodding at but out of courtesy, she nodded at him and smiled at Niko when he led her to a chair. “Give her a copy” Niko said as he picked a copy of the contract and sat on the other side in the room. Since it involved her freedom, she read every page carefully and it was only when she was sure that she was fine with every term there and all that she finally nodded her he

    CHAPTER FOURTEENNiko dropped her off at the hospital and also hands her a black card. “Half the money is in there.” He said simply clearly aware that she might have no idea that the card was limitless. He had no idea why he had picked her to play his pretend woman. While her beauty was very outstanding, she was still young and her body was at the very least just good. She was in oversized clothes in all the time he had met her but somehow, seeing the girl being flung out of a room after he had saved her two other times made him feel like he needed to really help her. There was only so much one could do while being constantly beaten down by life. She was fiery and maybe that would of course had a little bit of drama to his life. “I need a full background check done on Reyna” he says to Joe before resting his head. Now he just had to wait till they had understood each other to a certain point before deciding to take her to meet his grandmother. In a way, she also reminded him of h

    CHAPTER FIFTEENReyna sighed as she neared the hostel, Niko had said the weekend, but in reality, the weekend was here already and there was just one day between today and the weekend. When she entered the room and saw Larissa in her favorite posture for when she was seeing her favorite series. She looked up at the intruding sound of the door opening. “Hey girl! You are back early” she said as she sat upright. Reyna always came back like two hours from now. “Yeah, I came home right after tutoring Maxwell.” She explained which made Larissa finally pause her movie. “Are you really okay Rey? Is Alan okay?” She asked a bit too loudly that their third roommate, a girl that neither of them got along with looked up from her screen also and gave Larissa the stink eye. “I’m fine Lisa. Just need to shower and maybe stroll with my best friend and I’ll be fine.” She winked at her as if informing her that they couldn’t converse at the moment. And Larissa got it and nodded.Their roommate was o

    CHAPTER SIXTEENAs serious as it was, Reyna had to resist the urge to laugh when she saw Larissa’s expression. “Calm down, I didn’t steal it. Niko gave me.” And then ignoring the stunned expression on her face, she went ahead to describe the event of the past day. “You mean right now, you are his girlfriend? Niko?” She asked with bulging eyes. “On paper yes.” “Wow. I could never believe things like this really happened in real life.” She exclaimed and then kept quiet when she saw the waiter coming with their order. Reyna nodded in understanding, she had thought and imagined several ways out of their suffering but none had ever gone in this direction. “Does Alan know this?” She asks since it was still safe to ask that. Her eyes were however already glued to the noodles in front of her. It was steaming hot right now and eating at this point was just simply suicide. “I don’t think I can tell him how, he would refuse the operation. I would rather I tell him when he’s perfectly healt

    CHAPTER SEVENTEENReyna and Larissa turned to see a young man smirking as he walked closer to them.“Neither of you are seen with boys and now you are taking night walks holding each other. Are you both together?” He asked as he looked at them very suspiciously. “The whole lot of you are just eager to pin homosexuality on everyone because you are one. Get out” Reyna spat out angrily and then turned dragging Larissa with her.“He was smelling like he had a lot to drink already” Larissa said as the both of them went back to their hostel. Since she had to tutor Maxwell tomorrow also and then go for her last day at the diner, Reyna decided to start packing her stuffs down from tonight.Stella who was still on the bed watching her series looked up when she saw all the movements. “It’s late and normal humans are already fast asleep. Why have you decided to disturb my peace of mind now?” She asked angrily as she tried to understand what they were doing. “Are you finally being chased out o

    CHAPTER EIGHTEENThe weekend had arrived soon enough and Reyna had just woken up when her phone started ringing disturbing the other two that were sleeping in. Unlike Stella, Larissa was a deep sleeper and was not disturbed by the call while Stella however groaned and almost cursed at her. “Hey.” Reyna whispered into the phone afraid that she would wake the other two if she increased her pitch. “I’m outside your school dormitory area, which building is your room in so I can pack in front?” His magnetic and deep voice that she guessed she would get used to came through the phone. And somehow, it sounded just as new again. “No, you can stay there. I’ll be down shortly.” She said and then got down from her bed. Since she was already packed and only had a medium sized box for all her stuffs, she only had to clean up. After getting ready, she sent a message to Larissa with her phone so she doesn’t complain that she left without informing her. On the other hand, Niko wondered how exa

    CHAPTER NINETEENBy the time it was noon, Reyna was famished yet she didn’t know if she was supposed to go downstairs to make her meal or wait for Niko to call her. She had been on the phone half the day with Larissa and also checking out investments. After a whole day of searching, she decided that the best thing was getting a professional. Her stomach grumbled for the umpteenth time and she stood up. “We are supposed to live together peacefully right?” She muttered to herself as she opened her room door. She confirmed that no one was on the corridor and tip toed downstairs. “I almost thought you were going to die inside your room.”Niko’s clear and amused voice broke her strides as her face flushed red. She turned back and saw him sitting on one of the sofas with a plate of what looked like roasted chicken in them. Her stomach grumbled at the sight and the sweet scent that wafted to her nostrils. She shot him a glare as she headed into the kitchen.Although she didn’t grow up pri

    CHAPTER TWENTY “You should pay me for experiencing my cooking first hand.” Niko stated as he instructed her on how to cut the vegetables. She was not chatty and a quite relaxing presence to be around. “Well if there’s substantial proof that I really did experience your cooking first hand and can utilize the skills learnt from that luxurious experience, then you can be sure that you would get your due payment and recognition” she ended the statement with a giggle that made Niko take one more look at her. She sounded really nice and her voice was melodic. “Okay, challenge accepted then. Got to teach you how to cook in two years.” He said smiling also.“Of course, you would be getting a doctorate in culinary and cooking after that two years. Quite the number of chefs still need me to help them with some recipes.” Reyna assumed the last part was just him being comical and had no idea that it was the real deal. They were done making breakfast soon enough and the both of them sat down

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.

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

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
