“Thank you. And have a nice day.” Reyna smiled at Niko as she closed the door.He nodded at her, zooming away without saying a word to her making Reyna shoulder drop sadly. Since last night that he had walked out on her, he did not say anything to her, not to talk of greeting her. This morning also, they had taken their breakfast in silence, no one uttering a single word to each other.“I don’t even know why he’s angry.” She muttered before walking towards the gate.“Good morning Reyna, your sugar daddy came to drop you today again?” She heard a shrill voice from behind her.“Yeah, as you can see.”She rolled her eyes, clinging her hand to her bag as she hastened her steps.“Hope your parents know about this?” She heard her say again before a gasp escaped her lips.“Ohh! You don’t have any.” She said making Reyna stop walking before turning to look at Stella.“Do you have a problem with me? Last I checked, you’re a pretty rich girl with money and everything, but you’ll still keep hati
Reyna staggered into the house, her heart wrenching in pain as she walked into her room and slammed the door close. Her words the woman had said to her kept ringing in her brains, and made her feel dirty. Was she begging? She didn’t ask for this, she didn’t know her son, he had come to her not the other way round and for some reason, they made it seem like she had done it.“Name your price.” She recalled her saying.And it was at that moment that the last straw keeping her from crying broke into two. Picking her bag from the floor, she had picked to her heels, the mocking smile of the old lady resounding in her ears.She shook the thought off her head, peeling her clothes off her body one after the other and walking to the bathroom. She took her time, allowing the warm water to cool off the heat from her body. Standing underneath the shower, her hand moved to her hair, her hand scrubbing her scalp as the words continued to ring in her head.Turning off the shower angrily, she took he
Reyna was the first to wake up in the evening. A yawn escaped her lips as she stretched her hand only for it to stumble on someone face. Her eyes flew open, seating up immediately and turning to see Niko by her side, whose face was etched in a frown but his eyes was still closed.“Shit!” She facepalmed herself, hurrying out of the bed and stumbling to the bathroom.Closing the door immediatly, and leaning to the back of it, her teeth gritted together as she closed her eyes. They’ve done it again. They’ve done it again.“Ahhh!” She groaned in her head.How? How did she do it? They were not partners at all, and they’ve had sex two times. How did they have sex again? First of all, she was telling him how his grandmother had embarrassed her and the next thing, he was leaning forward, capturing her lips and pulling her to his laps.“Ahh.” She groaned again, shooting the thought of it off her head before moving towards the bathtub.How was she going to face him again? She had given him her
Reyna woke up early the next day, leaving home earlier before Niko even woke up to start cooking. He had just finished cooking and expected her to be down there, waiting a few minutes again before deciding to check up on her. He knocked, and knocked without reply before opening the door to meet a beautifully arranged bed and an empty room. Raising his brows and dropping them again, he walked out to his room, a sigh escaping his lips as he prepared for work.No one needed to tell him why she had left home so early, she would want to avoid the eyes of her classmates from the previous embarrassment which made him annoyed. He picked up his phone, dialing Lucas' number as he dropped it on his dressing table, laying his suit out.“Hey..”“Are you coming to the office today?” Lucas questioned immediately.“Yes and I want you to get in contact with my brother, has he submitted anything?” He asked.“Yeah. He submitted their investors and the project I asked him to work on.” Lucas replied.“Tel
“So what is it you want to change in this now?” James asked.“The deal had some mistakes in it, and we can’t work on it until we make the changes.” Lucas replied.“What should I change in it?” James asked, his butt rocking the chair and his eyes checking all the offices.“Everything.” Lucas said, making James whip his head towards him.“What!” He snapped.“The deal is very bad, and because of your efforts and how genuine you seem to want to work with nirvana, we won’t want to spend our resources with something like this.”“We think if it would be something along the entertainment genre that something of your deal is written in, not the business part. It’s too..” Lucas said, tapping his hands gently on the table.“It’s not what we’re looking for.” He concluded.All the hope James had in mind shattered that instant, his jaws clenched together and gritting his teeth amidst it.“Then what the heck! Why did you call me here! What is the essence!” James raged out.“This is an office setting
“My boy, what’s wrong with you?” James' mother rushed down the stairs.“I need to speak to all of you now, if not, the rich lifestyle you think you’re living now would be gone in a twinkle of an eye.” He added, ignoring his mother and walking to a chair to sit down.“And what does that mean?” His father walked down the stairs with his grandmother by his side.“He looks distressed. What could be going on with him?” Grandmother said before walking to her son.“Tell us what’s wrong. You can’t solve this alone.” She added.“Ohh! You want to know what’s wrong, how about you all sit down and I explain to you about the company state that might collapse two days from now.” He brushed them away as their heart sank loudly.Exchanging glances with her son, his grandmother sat down immediately and looked at James, waiting for him to say something.“What’s wrong?” Douglas asked.“So Nirvana promised us a deal..”“That’s good news.” His mom chipped in with a smile on her lips.“That’s not okay!” He
Clenching his jaw so tight as he could, he could only stand there and watch their interactions, the both of them playing with each other. Dylan would turn to Reyna and say some words to her, earning a smile while he just stood there and watched her.“What’s your business with them?” A voice startled him, making his heart skip a beat as he turned back to see who was talking.Joe eyed him as he looked at the direction he was looking at.“She looks…happy.”“She’s not sad with me too, mind your words.” Niko retorted.“Good then. Let’s go. I have something to tell you.”“I’m taking her home with me. I’m not leaving here until I see her.” Niko said, standing rooted to the ground.“Okay then.” Joe replied.The door opened all of a sudden as Nikos eyes widened, Joe walked to where Reyna was seated and tapped her, making Niko turn away from them.“I’m going to kill that son of a butch.” He muttered under his breath.After saying some words to her, Reyna nodded and looked back at Dylan. Some ot
“Shit!” Reyna muttered as she clenched her jaw.“Reyna, is that you?” His voice echoed out through the room.Niko looked at the man that was talking before looking at Reyna. He had seen this person somewhere, but he couldn’t figure out where he saw this man. Somewhere, in a..:“Who is he?” He whispered to Reyna’s ear.“Let’s leave this place. Please…..let’s leave this place.” She whispered, her hands tugging his.“So this is what you’ve been doing all this days? Following a man all around!” He yelled into her face before looking at Niko.His eyes sized Niko up, finally resting on Niko eyes.“You’re the playboy of that family. Your brother is there, working his ass out and you’re here, taking a girl that’s not worth anything out.”“Excuse me..”“Keep quiet.” Reyna uncle shut him off before dragging Reyna out of that place.Niko stood there rooted, not knowing what to do or what to say. His eyes went to Joe who was already at the counter, ordering some food. He walked towards him, placi
