The Playboy's Woman Chapter Twenty Four: Drawing lines
24On the ride to the cinema, Niko noticed how distant and aloof Reyna was but he made no attempt to point it out. Not only was he also uncomfortable about opening up such part of his past, he also wanted her to understand the boundaries despite how much they would try to live together. “Since girls like romance movies, I picked the recent one that has been making the box office smile.” Niko said as they walked to the cash point. Since they just had dinner, Reyna ordered a small box of popcorn just for the motion. She had never been to a cinema after reading about it for so long, she didn’t want to get the experience without her box of popcorn. Niko on the other hand opted for only water as the two them entered the cinema. It was dark inside and Niko reached for her hand as they walked up the steps and guided them to the back. They had entered just in time for the movie. The movie lasted a total of an hour and forty five minutes and while Reyna didn’t really enjoy the story line,
The Playboy's Woman Chapter Twenty Five: Projects and partners
24“You look so good” Larissa exclaimed the moment she saw her best friend. “Well, Alan’s fine now and the doctor had said a donor would be ready in two weeks at most.” She was beaming and all smiles for the first time, Larissa eyes got watery. “I’m so glad this went really well. I always felt like even though you were holding up well that you would just snap one day out of the pressure.” Lisa confessed as she heaved a sigh of relief. Reyna smiled as she wondered the probability of that happening. Regardless, she was glad that she met Niko and she would do her best to not cross boundaries and do her work well. Classes soon started and since they were fashion students, everything was starting to become more of practicals.“Since you have just two months left, we would be rolling out your projects and of course team partners. For fairness, we would only assign people with similar grades together so that some are not dragged down by their team partners. The effective pairing list wou
The Playboy's Woman Chapter Twenty Six: Her background
The more he read, the more Niko felt like he had to be reading a story. How could anyone’s life be this tragic.“Are you sure you have all the data right?” He asked Joe who had just turned the car in the direction of their estate.“I did a lot of cross checking and also asked her father’s personal men. It’s no hidden secret in fact.” Niko suddenly felt like he had been too cold to her. She had been experiencing this? Perhaps that was why she had felt completely empathetic back when they had gone on a date and he had just done the worst by treating her like this.He had personally not had a smooth life but he had his grandfather who had always made his father hesitate in being too extreme with him. His grandfather had also helped him even without him knowing and had only come to know when they were actually older. He went back to look at the pictures again and sighed. Even when she was going through the hardest times, she had looked even more attractive than a regular person. He coul
The Playboy's Woman Chapter Twenty Seven: Rollercoaster
Chapter 28After seeing that the house was still so quiet after he had woken up, Niko knocked on Reyna’s door to be sure she was alright but got no response until he decided to open the door and saw it empty. He dialed the security head immediately a sudden worry crossing his mind as he entered the room. Since she had moved in, he had not entered the room and he could see now that she had made some changes to the room. It also smelt like her a lot, a mix of something natural and sweet and strawberry. Somehow, he liked this feeling of being in her room, it looked more homely than his own room. He furrowed when he saw the boxes placed by a corner in her room. The room was big, yet, with all those boxes there, he felt it was too crowded. “Did Reyna leave the estate?” He asked while still staring at the boxes. “Yes sir. She left about two hours ago with the delivery van.” While the first part of the statement had just been a confirmation for him, the second part made him very uncom
The Playboy's Woman Chapter Twenty Eight: Confronting her
“Why the hell did you go out like that!” Niko asked as they entered the house.Reyna stared back at him, her lips trembling at the sight of his widened eyes. She didn’t want to have anything to do with him, she didn’t even want to pass her boundary. She just wanted to go in and sleep and go to school again.“Can’t you reply to me!” He bellowed again at her.He was frustrated and damn angry. Why would she go out like that without saying anything or without even bothering to carry a car. He could see the fear laced in her eyes, and even though he didn’t want to shout at her, he couldn’t help himself. What would happen if his grandmother saw her outside and when the time comes to show her to them, she’ll know she’s just a cab girl?“If we’re going to make this work, you have to abide by all the things I have, and use them like it’s yours. My family is a very suspicious one, one wrong move and they’ll tell you out! I don’t care what kind of reputation you’re trying to keep but know this,

Chapter 29“What do you mean I have to tell you everywhere I go! What if I have to go to..” Reyna said as she clasped her mouth together again.“That’s number one.” Niko ignored whatever she had to say before.Even though he had felt bad for whatever she was going through and whatever she had gone through, he didn’t need her to flop his plans.“And you’re entitled to two cars in the house, you have to take one today and another tomorrow. Change them as you like, you may take more if they interest you.”Reyna sighed as she nodded her head, already calculating how she was going to do everything.“I can’t drive.” She hurriedly pitched in.“And I wouldn’t want a driver.” She added again.Her eyes stared at Niko like she had just gotten an opportunity to escape from his rules as Niko approached her slowly.“I don’t know how you want to do it, but it’s either you go with a driver or learn how to drive in a day. Your choice.” He said as he smirked at her again.“I’ll go with the driver then.

Chapter 30“Are you fine?” She asked with her brows furrowed.Niko raised his brows as his lips slightly parted with his eyes strained on her.“What do you mean, am I fine? I need to eat, just give me the cereal, and all this can be done!” He said sharply.“I don’t think you have that right to shout at me.” Reyna retorted.“Did I shout at you?” Niko asked with widened eyes.“That’s what you just did.” Reyna yelled.“You’re the one yelling, I did not yell, all I did was say give me cereal and here you are, shouting at me!” Niko yelled again.“Then what you did now is called what? Talking?” Reyna asked as she stared directly at him with her chest rising and falling.The both of them had no idea how it had escalated to this but Niko found his body itchy to even her stare and Reyna could not even stand him anymore. Who the hell does he think he is that he can just command her? And who the hell does she think she is that she can just shout at him? They glared hard at each other before Reyn
The Playboy's Woman Chapter Thirty One: Comeback
Chapter 31“Do you know him?” Larissa asked as she eyed the guy in front of them.“What do you want?” Reyna ignored Larissa's question.“I was asked for this to be sent to you. The boss said not to come back if you don’t accept it so it would be better if you chose wisely.” Joe said, stretching the bag to her.Reyna clenched her fist tightly. Why was he doing this?“Then you can follow me all round the school. I’m notninterested.” She replied, rolling her eyes before pulling Larissa to herself and turning to the canteen.Joe sighed before following them. Niko has said he should not return if she did not collect the dood, and now she was actually not collecting it.“Ma’am.” He called out as he approached them again.Reyna stopped abruptly, muttering a curse in her mind as she proceeded to turn and look at him.“I don’t know you. You don’t know me. So do not even try to disturb me.” Reyna said, eyeing him before turning back again:“Why don’t you want to collect the food?” Larissa mutt

" 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.

"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.

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
