“And what do we know about this name that you claim we should find him. The last you heard..”“How do you know the last I heard? I haven’t told you, have I?” Niko retorted, raising his brows as he looked at Joe.“Since I don’t know what’s happening here and clearly..” Lucas started, glancing at both of them. “Clearly no one deemed it fit to let me know, how about both of you start from the beginning.” He said dropping the files he picked up before and taking his seat again.Niko looked at Joe who shrugged before taking his seat as Niko did the same.“So where do we start this from?” Joe mumbled, staring at Niko as he waited for him to start.“Reynas' real parents are not her parents. The parents she’s lived with all this while, are not her biological parents.” Niko said.Lucas frowned his face, his brows joining as he squinted his eyes at Niko.“And how do you know that? And how do you even know her real parents? The deal was between her uncle and you before you brought it in with her
“And why did you do that? Was she disturbing you or was she disturbing you? I was just coming to know more about her and the things she can be able to tell me about you.” Niko said, walking close enough to her and taking his seat before picking his container of noodles back.Reyna stared at him, her brows raised as she wondered what he meant by he was just coming to know her. After he left, she had talked Larissa into leaving even if it was not easy and had to promise her an ice cream date, she was still able to get her to leave. She recoiled immediately she felt something touch her arm only to see that it was Niko that tapped her.“What’s wrong with you?” he asked with furrowed brows.“You’re not mad that Larissa entered your room?” Reyna asked as she met his eyes.A smile tugged the corners of his lips down as he smiled at her, “why should I be mad? It’s only a room, it’s not like she went through my things or touched my underwear, or did she do something like that?”“No! No!” Reyna
The next morning, the both of them dressed up, Niko being the first to finish and had already cooked breakfast for both of them. Reyna walked down the stairs in a white jogger and a black crop top that left a little part of her stomach shown.“I love when you wear something like this.”Reyna rolled her eyes as she pulled out a chair and sat on it.“I don’t even know how I got it, I don’t wear this kind of dress, so I don’t...” she started before her eyes went back to Niko.“Did you change my clothes?” she asked with raised brows.Niko looked away from her in guilt, picking up a plate as he dished the food inside it before passing it to her front.“When did you change it and why didn’t I know about it?” she asked, staring at him.“Just eat. You have to agree with me that the clothes are so nice.” He said, pulling a chair out as he took his seat.Reyna rolled her eyes again for the second time, shaking her head with a happy feeling bubbling in her. She hadn’t even noticed but she knew t

“What do you mean grandfather? What should I not listen to?” Niko asked.“This is not the time to play games Niko. Call the company and tell them not to listen to any word or take any step on what your stepbrother is saying. Once you reply to him, nirvana would lose the standard they all know it to have. Be careful on whatever you do.” Nicholas warned before cutting the call.Niko put his phone in his pocket before recalling his words, bringing it out again as he put a call to Lucas.“Don’t do anything. Let it be. Just leave him and let him rant. We’ll sort the rest when I get back to the office.” He said, waiting for Lucas to finish giving the instructions to call off whatever he had done before cutting the call.He turned to his side to see Reyna seated beside him.“How did it go?” he questioned as he stared at her side face.She turned to look at him as her lips curled into a small smile.“I don’t know yet. All he did was collect my bl0od and carry out some tests on me. I can’t say
“What do you mean her blood type is rare?” Niko questioned again.He glanced at Reyna who was still oblivious to whatever they were both sayings. He looked back at the doctor who pushed his rim glass up his face before clearing his throat.“Do you know the rare blood types?” the doctor asked with raised brows.“I don’t really know them but I’ve heard about it, and it’s n…no...Not really common.“Yeah, that’s why it’s called rare, that’s because it’s not common.” The doctor replied.“And as far as I know and the fact that I’ve been in this field for a long time, only two families have this kind of blood and I have to tell you,” he said as he shook his head slowly.“They’re untouchable.” He added.Niko clenched his jaw as he glanced at Reyna again, still with that look of loss on her face. Niko cleared his throat, reaching out to touch her before she turned to face him.“What?” she muttered faintly.“Thanks, doctor, we’re glad for this.”“I’ll leave you with one thing. The two families
The car stopped in front of the new house Niko was building. Glancing at Reyna who was still wearing the lost look on her face, a sigh escaped his lips before he removed the key and dropped it in the car safe.“Let’s go inside.” He said as he stared at the corner of her face.She shifted in her seat as she looked at him before darting her eyes back towards the house.“What are we doing here?’ she asked faintly with her eyes turned to him.“Just step down from the car and you’ll see what I have in store for you,” Niko said to her as he opened the car door.He walked towards her door, opening the door before Reyna carried her leg and stepped foot outside the door. A lot of things were going on in her mind, more than whatever Niko had in store. She needed to meet her uncle, and whomever Niko was also planning to meet. She has to know her real father, and her mother and why they had dumped her as her uncle said. The low sound of the door closing pulled her out of her reverie as she furr
By the time Reyna woke up, it was evening already and the movie has long been turned off by Niko.“Sleeping beauty…” she heard him call out before she tilted her head to where his voice was coming from.He was setting the table, and she furrowed her brows when she saw more than two plates on the table from where she was seated. As she opened her mouth to talk, a yawn escaped her lips,“Are we having visitors?” she said in between yawning.Her feet moved up and carried her to where Niko was busy setting the table. A loud shriek came from somewhere, scaring her out of her wits as she saw Alan for a brief second before he engulfed her in a hug.“Sister, you look so pretty!” he yelled out.Reyna’s eyes went to Niko, who was avoiding her gaze. Before she could say anything again, she raised her head to see Niko’s grandfather, carrying a tray that was quickly intercepted by Niko and dropped to the table.“And just because you saw her now, you left me all in the kitchen and could not even ca
