Reyna walked to the chair in the room, plopping her ass down as she recalled the face she saw earlier. Why does she feel like seeing a split image of Dylan through that man? Even though Niko hadn’t allowed her to see him well, his nose and his smile looked exactly just like Dylan, just that from his features, he would be more playful than Dylan.Alvarez.. that’s what Niko called him. Probably she would ask Dylan at school tomorrow, if he decides to talk to her after she had shut him off and not call him back after missing the date. A sigh escaped her lips, fumbling for her phone as she met another thatch of missed calls, this time, both from Larissa and Dylan, and one from an unknown number.A frown ebbed her features as she clicked on the number, dialing it out back as the other line picked after one ring,“The boss asked you to call this number if you need anything. I’ll be expecting your call.” The person said as Reyna sighed heavily before hanging up.She needed to talk to Niko, t

As they drove home, Reyna couldn’t help but gloat at how good she performed, making Niko lips curl up as he kept on scoffing and hissing,“He even had to say he loves me twice, have you ever seen anyone act like that before! It would be better if you just employ me once and for all, set me a space and you get to see this beautiful girl each day at your office.” She said, facing him as he drove.“You’ve not passed his test yet, he still hasn’t given you the money. It took less than an hour to convince him. You?” He mocked her.“If I was with my designs, I'd crush him faster than you did. Just wait and see. And I still gave the company some face?”“What face?” Niko asked her and also glanced at her.“I could have said we could have the meeting at a restaurant or dinner, but I decided who would do it there. Didn’t I do it well?” She said, her face beaming in all smiles.“And you think he didn’t notice how your expression changed when he called his name?” Niko said, completely shutting Re

“Won’t you tell me why you’re mad at me at least? How am I going to apologize if I don’t know why you’re even mad at me?” Reyna called out as they finished class, begging Larissa to please say something.Larissa stopped in her tracks and faced Reyna,“You just completely forgot me! I don’t know if it’s because of your relationships now, but now you don’t even care for me! It’s like I’m not even there anymore! You come to school and leave without checking or caring if I’m there! Is that fair?” She snapped at her as Reyna's eyes widened.Before she could move an inch out again, she quickly pulled her into a hug, squeezing her small self in her and making sure she wasn’t able to pull out.“I’m really sorry. I’m really really sorry.” Reyna said to her, holding her tight as Larissa continued to struggle.After a while, she gave up in her arms as she hugged her back,“You don’t know how much I missed eating with you and telling you things.” Reyna added as she patted her softly.“I’m really

Reyna laid on the bed, doing nothing but staring at the ceiling. She had tried to make her design, to take her mind off the laughing image of Niko and the lady in the restaurant but nothing was helping.Out of spite, she had dialed Joe's number even though she knew he didn’t like her, coming up with unreasonable excuses for him and hanging up even before he could start pestering her.And yet, here she was, having difficulties sleeping and closing her eyes. Or even doing anything.“Ahhh!”She groaned out as she sat up on the bed for the umpteenth time.It was just a fake relationship between them both, and he could be with whoever else he wanted just like how he allowed her to go on the date with Dylan without caring. So who was she to start caring about who he is with or who he decides to smile with?She stood up angrily, walking inside the bathroom and splashing water to her face.“Wake up Reyna! Wake up!” She slapped herself.“This is not the time to be jealous of one girl! You have

“Since he’s coming here, when he gets here, we’ll discuss whether he can still access it or not.” She said as she walked to a couch, taking her seat and staring at Nicholas.James looked back and forth between both of them as he took his own seat, his father doing the same with the two lawyers Nicholas brought. Immediately they were all seated, Nicholas called a number,“Go to my grandson's house. Bring him and his girlfriend here immediately. And pick the lawyer up at his house.” He said before cutting the call.“Now, all we have to do is wait for him to get here.” He said with a smile.•••••••••••Niko and Reyna had both settled to watch a movie when his phone rang and the security called to tell him that someone was waiting for him at the door. It was at this moment that a message entered his phone from his grandfather, telling him to follow the man that he sent with Reyna because they were about to call the inheritance requirements.“We have to go.” He said to Reyna.“Where?” She
