CHAPTER 5

Reyna sat at her desk with a wine glass in her hands. Her auburn eyes looked blankly at nothing in particular. All her thoughts were focused on a green eyed man who had suddenly come back into her life again.

Percy Jackson.

She was looking out at the cityscape from the quiet roof on where she stood, when she felt someone come up behind her. A pair of soft, sweet lips kissed her neck. A smile appeared on her lips as she turned her face towards him and clashed his lips with hers. He let out a sigh of content as he brought his arms around her in a warm embrace.

"Hey." she said.

"Hi." he said smiling back. His smile was beautiful, warm and full of sunlight, "I was looking for you. Thalia and Nico left already."

"Sorry, I needed some fresh air."

"Yeah, me too. They sure are loud when they get in an argument."

She laughed at that.

They then stood there in comfortable, blissful silence for a while. She relished in the feel of him against her as the soft breeze through her chocolate brown hair.

"Percy?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

He wrapped his arms tighter around her and smiled against the skin on her neck,

"I love you too, Rey."

Reyna shook her head from the memory and took another sip of her wine.

That kind, warm, dependable green eyed boy she met in the street dumps—…

He was gone...

She suddenly heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." she said.

Octavian, one of her men who did her bidding, came in. He walked up to her desk and handed her a yellow catalog envelope.

"I think you'll find what's in the envelope interesting, ma'am." he said.

She opened it and saw that a bunch of photos were inside. Flipping through them, her eyes grew wider and wider.

They were pictures of Percy with Annabeth. The photos played like a movie-every step he took at playing her.

Reyna got to the last photo and her stomach flips inside out—her heart felt like it was being squeezed tight.

It was a picture of Percy kissing Annabeth on a bridge which looked to be in central park. His green eyes glaring right at her.

"I'm sorry that last photo was blurry." Octavian said, "He saw me, so I had to take it quick."

"He saw you?" Reyna asked him in a shaken, quiet voice.

"Yes, he must have known I was following them."

She ran her fingers through her hair and let out a sigh, "And this was taken today?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"Alright, you're dismissed."

He gave a nod and walked out of her office.

Reyna's eyes never left the photo. Anger started boiling up inside of her, replacing the fear that was inflicted by those green eyes. She hated feeling like this because she knew— it was jealousy. It was what Percy wanted her to feel and she needed to stop the rush of anger.

"Fine, if this is how you want to play," Her auburn eyes blazed with anger,

"So be it."

Annabeth picked up her phone and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Annabeth, your father wanted me to tell you that it would be great for us to have a once in a while family dinner this evening." A familiar brunette's voice said through the phone.

"What, why all of a sudden?"

"He told me he wants to meet his daughter's boyfriend."

Did this bitch tell her father?

The blonde's grey eyes sparked sharp and wide, but she kept her voice calm, "I see. Well, I'll be sure to ask Percy if he's free. I'll see you later tonight then."

Annabeth could almost picture the woman evilly smirking back.

Her jaw clenched and her fingers tightened around the hard cover of her phone.

"So, Perseus, how did you meet my Annabeth?"

"Percy is fine and I met her first on an airplane."

The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table nodded his head. There were bodyguards standing at every corner of the dining room. And Reyna was sitting right across from him with Annabeth to his left.

The little toddler who resembled Reyna completely sat next to his mother, silently eating the food on his plate.

"Ah, yes. I heard you saved her life. I'm entirely grateful, Percy."

Percy nodded, then took a sip of his drink, thinking the man was done interrogating him—but he was wrong.

"So, what do you do, Percy?" the president asked him.

Percy's green eyes glanced at Reyna. She had a slight smirk on her lips and her brown eyes were already staring at him.

So...she's trying to get me away from Annabeth using someone powerful.

He smirked back at her and turned to the head man again,

"I work as a lifeguard, sir."

"Oh, a lifeguard…interesting."

the man's dark eyes glanced over at Annabeth, who had been silent the whole time through.

"Yes, I was kicked out of medical school."

Her grey eyes were glued to her food. Percy reached over under the table and held her hand in reassurance.

She seemed to snap out of her thoughts as she looked up over at him.

"Why?" the man asked.

Percy looked over at Reyna, "I'd rather not say."

"I see... Annabeth, could I have a word with you in my office." Her father's cold dark eyes rested on hers.

She let out a soft breathe and stood up to follow the man out of the room.

When they got to his office and his men closed the door shut. The man she resented slapped her hard across her cheek.

"Your insolence has gone too far!" he shouted at her.

She lifted her face with a resentful calmness that she knew her father hated.

"What's wrong, father? I simply brought someone I really like to meet you. The least you could do is accept him."

"I get that you resent me, Annabeth, but humiliating me by bringing that uncivilized low class dog here to meet me is absolutely revolting!"

"I didn't know someone's job and class was so important to you, father. You married a lowly slut, after all."

Her father's eyes blazed with livid anger, "Get out…" he said in a dangerously low voice, "If you consider her in that way. If you hate being in this family so much, then leave! I will not accept insolent brats in my family."

Her father stepped away from her to his desk, "I'm taking your apartment, your money, you car and you're suspended from your position in the company. Now, get out of my sight!"

Annabeth stood there—her eyes shot wide and glaring at her father's turned back.

Her breathes went heavy and uneven.

"Bye…Dad." she said, "I'll leave, if that's what you want."

Percy stayed sitting at the dining table.

Reyna knelt down next to the toddler next to her, "Why don't you go and play in your room, Aaron."

"Okay." the boy said, bounding off out of the room, followed by a line of maids.

The brunette looked back over to the green eyed man and gave him a smirk with her perfectly glossed lips, "With this, your play is ruined, Percy. The CEO dislikes people like you in particular. You and Annabeth are going to be separated for good."

He gave her a smirk back, "I figured that's what this dinner was for, am I right? Reyna."

Her eyes narrowed at him in scrutiny.

He leaned over the table, closer to her, "You think you can destroy me with this, Reyna?" his fingers gripped her chin, making her flinch, "You're wrong. Reyna, you know better than anyone, I'm not one to give up that easily."

"Bastard."

His lips turned up even wider into a smirk, "Thank you for the meal, Madam." he said, before standing up and leaving the room.

Percy got to the gate and saw that a certain blonde was already waiting for him.

"Wha—why are you?"

She let out a tired sigh, "My father took my apartment and money from me."

His brow raised up, "Shouldn't you be a bit more concerned?"

"He does this whenever I badmouth Reyna. It's no big deal."

"Well, you can stay at my place as long as you have to."

She gave him a smile, "Thanks, Percy. You keep saving me and I don't know how to repay you."

"It's fine."

"No, really. I can't stand having debt to someone. What can I do for you?"

"Well, if you really need to..." he leaned closer so that his lips were next to her ear, "you can be my personal slave for a day."

"Wha—?!"

He smiled and gave her a sweet laugh.

"Is that what you really want?" she asked him.

He nodded keeping that smile on his lips.

She let out a breathe and smiled back at him, "Fine, I'll do it."

He leaned further closer to her, "This is going to be fun." he said with a smirk, making her blush.

Author's Note:

I've got some messages asking if this is related to some korean drama. About that, my asian friend actually requested this story, so yes it might be influenced by some form of the drama. I didn't know which one it was, so I'm sorry about that. But, I assure you, what I have planned for this story has nothing to do with the drama. So that's that.

And also, about update schedules-I'm going to change it again to every Wednesday. Senior year is starting for me and I have to focus on stupid college apps. I know! HATE IT TO HELL! But that's life, so there's nothing to do about it.

Anyways, hope your enjoying this story so far! Thank you for all the love! Please favorite, follow and review if you haven't already! :D

So with that, see you peeps next week!
