Next day, Luke had left for the company quite early. And he did not miss to say bye to ruby and tell her to take care of herself and the baby.
Ruby was done with the breakfast and now she was laying kn the couch in the living room while listening to some melodic music.
Suddenly her phone rang. Ruby looked at the screen. It was an unknown number. She usually does not receive the phone calls from unknown numbers. But she did it this time.
“Hello? Who is this?” Ruby asked.
“It is me, Anna,” said the voice from the other side. “Anna?” Ruby repeated the name. Hearing the word, Rosa came outside the kitchen. She went closer to ruby and sat down next to her.

Luke was arranging the files in order. He had gone through them all and was done with it. He had sided his anger from the Anna situation and concentrated on office work. This was equally important. He had tired out his secretary, Madeleine as well. “I think your secretary has run away,” Luke up from the files when he heard Gabriel's voice. “I won't be shocked if she did. Because I have made her work the most today than any day,” Luke said and got back to his file. “She was not there in her seat to welcome me,” Gabriel said, taking a seat opposite to Luke's. Luke sighed, shaking his head. Gabriel chuckled and handed the medium sized bag that he had brought with them. Luke took it and raised his brows, “What i
“Hello?” A man's voice came.“Mason, come to my office right away,” Luke said and disconnected the phone call. While the smirk on his face grew only wider.Gabriel smirked at his friend's action, “So, we are officially getting into the war,” he commented and Luke nodded his head. Luke loved how Gabriel involved himself into the supposed war.There was a knock on the door and Luke muttered, “Come in.”A tall man with broad shoulders came inside. He was wearing the classic office suit. If someone from outside saw him, they would think that he is an official in the company.“Good morning sir,” the man
Luke and Gabriel walked out of the elevator after they visited every department in the company as a routine. Luke had learnt it from his father. No matter how ignorant David has been in Anna’s matter, he has never neglected the company. And Luke has got that trait in the blood. He is very meticulous about every single detail that happens at the company. “Gosh, I feel so tired,” Gabriel groaned as he took off his tie and suit coat as they walked towards their own cars. Luke chuckled at his friend’s words, “From what?” Gabriel gave him a surprised look, “You are asking me that? You just made me walk four entire floors continuously,” he accused Luke. Luke managed to shake his head and faked a disappointment, “I just hope the Moretti Corporation survives.” Gabriel chuckled and they were about to enter their own cars,
“The perfect chocolate chip cookies, Peach Cobbler, Classic carrot cake, strawberry cheesecake, pecan pie, is that all?” Luke asked the bakery helper with hopeful eyes. The young girl smiled at him and laughed a little, “Yes, I think this much is enough to calm down your wife.” Luke scratched his neck out of embarrassment, “Not wife yet. To make up with my girlfriend.” The girl could not help but smile at his embarrassment. She was quite impressed by his efforts, “Not yet. So she will be in the future. And also your efforts are already showing that you care about her. So I am sure she will accept the gifts and make up with you.” Luke was glad to hear those encouraging words, “Thanks a lot for your encouragement. I needed that a lot.” Luke makes the payment and immedi
On the bright morning, Anna woke up after a fair night's sleep. She had had a long day yesterday and she needed a good sleep. She quickly showered and got ready.Anna heard Gia’s voice from the sitout of the first floor. She moved closer to see what her niece was doing. Anna did not know if she should sweet talk to her niece or just give her a slap on the face. Gia was sitting there and coloring her nails while humming a recent pop music.Anna hit Gia’s head lightly. “Aw.. you...” Gia turned around almost ready to swear at the person who hit her. But her attitude changed as soon as she realized it was her Aunt Anna.“What did I do aunty?” Gia asked, rubbing her head. And looked at her nail color. She frowned as it was smudged and spread out all over her toe.
Anna’s next agenda for the day was to convince her husband, David to not give his approval for Luke’s relationship with Ruby. She was quick to be on her feet and look for her husband. David was in his closet getting ready for the day. He had planned to pay a visit to the company. "Oh.. you are getting ready. Where are you going?" Anna asked her husband. She did not know his schedules and David made sure of it. "Just a visit to the company," David said and carried on with his clothes. Anna waited for a few minutes in silence. David sensed her silence and turned to face her. "What happened? Do you have something to talk about?" He asked her. Anna nodded her head as yes. "Yes, it is about Luke," Anna said. Sh
"Where are you going?" Luke asked Ruby when he saw her coming out of her room, fully dressed."College. I have some study materials to collect from the library. Mia will also come," Ruby said, rubbing her dress.Luke squinted his eyes, "That looks like a new dress," he commented and grabbed the juice glass.Ruby sat next to him and proudly said, "It is a new dress. Your dad spoiled me yesterday with some new dresses and accessories."Luke almost spit the juice and Rosa dropped the spoon onto the floor. Neither of them were expecting that from David Sawyer. In fact, they both wanted to confirm it again."You mean, Mr David Sawyer brought you new dresses and accessories?" Rosa tried to cross check Ruby's words. Luke also paid a
“What are you still doing up?” Luke asked Ruby when he saw her come out of her room. Right now, Luke was sitting in the living room and checking the accounts files that Mason had given to him. He had not got any time to check those files during office hours as he was caught up with other work. So, he had brought it home to check after dinner. And that was exactly what he was doing right now. He usually uses his home office to work but he wanted some free space and comfort, so he had chosen to work in the living room after the others went to sleep. Ruby slightly jumped when she heard the voice. She held her chest and felt her heartbeat rapidly, “You scared me.” Luke could not help but chuckle at her expression, “I did not know you are a scaredy cat.” Ruby was annoyed at his comment. She filled her water bottle and came to the living room. She sat beside Luke and said, “I did not know you were a ghost who w
