“Even if that’s the girl he chose, you won’t accept it?” James' mother asked again, earning a glare from her husband as she kept her mouth quiet immediately.“Call him again. Tell him he needs to be here in the next 30 minutes or else..”“Or else what?” A voice cut her off as they all whipped their heads towards the entrance.Nicholas entered into the room, his stick stepping front before him as he eyed them all. Nikos father has his heart in his hand as he sees the man he had not seen after their daughter died in their hands.“Seems you’re all forgetting who brought you into what you are now.” He added as he took his seat inside the room.Niko entered shortly after that, his hand intertwined with Reyna’s as he bowed to them.“Good evening father, it’s quite late if you ask me. But we still had to be here.”He said, receiving a nudge from Reyna who only greeted them with a nod.They both found a place to sit down, completing the family meeting they’ve been waiting for and waiting for t
Niko whipped his head to James after hearing what he said as he squinted his eyes at him.“What do you mean Nirvana ending? Do you have anything to do with them? What do you think you’re saying?” Niko asked him as James turned to look at him.“How would you know? you’re never at home and never in the company to discuss how it will grow. Do you even have any idea what’s happening to the company?”“Aside from the fact that we’ll be folding up soon? Please enlighten me more.”Niko retorted.James gulped down as he clenched his jaw,“You're more useless than I think.”“Anything that suits you and makes you feel better, little bro. What does that have to do with Nirvana?” He asked again.“Because they made us lose all our shareholders and even didn’t offer him the deal. And now we’re running low and losing shareholders, we need a lot of money to get back on our feet.”“Which is why you need your first son, the playboy.” Nicholas interfered as his eyes darted to Nikos' father.“And what is
“Ahh.” Madison shrieked out on the table, her cheeks turning red as she glared hatefully at Reyna.Niko stood up from the table, taking Reyna’s hand in his and walking away from the table.“We’ll be leaving now. Thanks for the food.” He said.“Sit down young man, who gave you the permission to leave!” He heard his stepmother shriek at him.“I gave him permission for my daughter's hard earned money. Is that a problem?” Nicholas spoke out, standing up as his cane came before him.She looked down immediately and clenched her fist, picking up her spoon with her right hand in shame and could feel the glares on her.“If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving. Sort out your family issues and mail the document for him to collect his inheritance. It won’t be good for you if I decide to take the issue to the court,”“…who knows, maybe the real killer of my daughter might be revealed.” He added as he made his way out of the door.Niko and Reyna followed suit, Reyna casting a glance at Madison’s
Niko and Reyna drove in silence towards the house. Niko glanced at her at intervals as he noticed the lost look in her eyes.“What’s wrong?” He asked after a while.They were almost at home and he didn’t want her to enter the house with such a heavy feeling. Even if he hadn’t gotten the information to know who her real parents were and where she came from, he was sure the news was disturbing her greatly and was just doing her best to conceal it.“I’m fine. I’m fine.” He heard her say as she moved in her seat.She turned her head to the window, watching as all the cars and people moved outside, and for the first time in a long time, she felt sad, Worried, and lost. She thought she had figured out everything, living comfortably, not worrying about her brother again, and having enough money that could sustain her even after the deal, but yet, there was this void that she didn't know how to fill up.“I’m looking into it for you.” Niko raised ho again as he swerved towards the junction of
Niko was the first to wake up the next morning, the loud ringing tone of Reyna making him open his eyes as he turned the phone off immediately. He cast his glance at her, noticing how she looked so peaceful as a smile bloomed on his lips immediately.Leaning towards her and placing a peck on her forehead, he got down from the bed and made his way out. Slowly opening the foot and avoiding any creeks and making his way to the kitchen. A happy feeling bloomed in his heart as he walked back and forth, thinking of what he could prepare for her before she woke up.Finally settling for some scrambled eggs and a cup of tea with some other side dishes. He went to his room, brought his phone out and played some light music as he got to work.•••••••••He made his way back to her room immediately he was done, slowly opening the door to meet her laying in her bed.“What..” she started as he walked in, a smile curling his lips up as he placed the tray on her table.“Thank you…” she said, making he
The both of them stared into each other’s eyes for a long time, no one saying anything, only their throat doing the gulping up and bobbing down. Reyna finally shrugged, averting her gaze from Nikos as she looked at somewhere else,“I don’t know..I..ca..don’t..can’t even say. Let’s just wait for that day right?” She replied, looking back into his eyes to divert it once again.Niko looked at her as his lips curled up, his eyes going down to her lips and looking back at her. Immediately he saw her shift, he pressed his lips to hers, placing a quick kiss on hers before leaning out again.“What? Do you want to have sex with me again?” He asked with a smile as he saw her staring at me.“You just kissed me without my permission.”“You’re my girlfriend, I can do that.” He refuted.Reyna opened her mouth to disagree but just sighed and turned to the ceiling back. He stirred up lots of emotions she didn’t know she had in her and she felt so comfortable with him.“Aren’t you going to the office
“I think Niko might be falling in love with Reyna already.” Luke said, a coy smile forming on his lips.“That’s not new news. It was bound to happen either way.” Joe replied as he rolled his eyes.Luke's excitement died down as rushed towards Joe, looking at him and battling his lashes like a puppy.“How do you know that? Why am I just finding out?” He questioned, staring at him like a puppy waiting to be served.“That’s because you’re always buried in office work and I have to help him and her each day, that way, you don’t know anything while I know all of it.” Joe replied, picking up a file from the table and opening it.“Did he say he’ll be coming to the office or not?”“He said he’ll bring something for us, which means he’ll be coming but I think he might bring a partner.”“You think he’ll tell Reyna he is the owner of Nirvana when he has not sorted the issue with his brother and family?” Joe asked with furrowed brows.Luke leaned away from the chair, straightening his suit as he
Luke and Nikos eyes rested on Reyna, waiting for her to say something while she fiddled on her feet. She was uncomfortable and in her mind, different curse words were being said to Niko.“We’re counting on you. The deal is a very good one. And Niko knows so much that he shouldn’t lose it.” Luke said, his eyes pleading to Niko.“Of course. We can stay. You can show me the company and I can check out where my office would be.” Reyna said, turning to look at Niko whose brows were scrunched up.“Thank you! I know you would pick my side! Thank you! I’ll go set the meeting room up!” Luke yelled out, bowing continuously as he rushed away.Reyna lips curled up as her eyes followed him until he disappeared, her lips curled into a small smile. It was not until Niko flicked her forehead and she scrunched her face up that she turned to face him.“Why do you have to put me in that situation?” She asked with her frowned face.“Because you’re my girlfriend, you should make decisions for me from now
