Anna had been looking for her since morning but David was nowhere to be seen. Yesterday, late at night, Mason Stevens had called her to fill in everything that happened at the office. She was fuming with rage. Keeping silent and waiting until morning to talk to her husband was the best she could do. Just what on earth is Luke thinking to fire people as he wishes.
Anna heard the car sound halting in front of the mansion, she got off her seat and dashed towards the entrance. David walked inside while a small smile was plastered on his face.
“What are you smiling about?” Anna questioned her husband without thinking. She barely managed to stay sane until she got hold of him. “Oh, I just decided to adopt a puppy,” David replied happily. When one of his friends from his morning walking club told him about his dogs giving birth to nine pups, Da

Anna’s car drove towards a forest area and Gia had no idea where her aunt was taking her. She was only told that they are going out to look into some matters and hopefully to find some solutions.“Still how long?” Gia asked looking out of the window. She was kinda getting bored of the trip. Since going back to college was not an option, she chose to go out with her aunt.“Just, a few more minutes,” Anna said and concentrated on her driving. Since it was a secret outing she had let her driver go and drove herself.After another 15 minutes of drive, they entered a gated property. Gia looked around. It looked like a deserted place from outside. But as they went deep inside the property, a four storey house came into vision. Gia's eyes widened at the sight. The house looked hu

Leo got off the private jet. As he walked on the tarmac, he reminded himself about how much he had enjoyed at his friend’s wedding that he just attended. Leo gave a smile to his driver when he saw him, “What’s up, Roy?” the driver returned the smile, “Nothing much sir. I just had a small vacation with my wife and son.”Leo laughed lightly, “Ah ha… I assume it was good.” the driver nodded his head as he loaded Leo’s luggage into the car, “It was great actually.”“I am jealous,” Leo pouted and he seemed like he was genuinely jealous of the people that were finding love of their lives and settling down. The driver simply chuckled, “Your time will come soon, sir.”Leo left out of a huge breath, “I think I will be a gra

"Gabriel!!" Ruby exclaimed loudly when she saw him come inside with Luke. Gabriel smiled widely and held his arms open for Ruby. She hugged him and he patted her head, "How are you? How is pregnancy treating you?" He asked about her health. Ruby broke the hug and sighed, shaking her head, "Don't even ask about it. I puke almost everyday and feel nauseous every other hour."Gabriel chuckled, "It is all perks of being pregnant." Ruby gave him a light slap on his chest and looked at Ruby. "Now, you see me," he commented, referring to Ruby not greeting him first. Gabriel burst out laughing, "Aw… Luke is jealous. First time in my life I am seeing you jealous.""I am not jealous," Luke grumbled and sat on the couch. Gabriel winked at Ruby before sitting on the other couch. They all heard some sound from the adjacent room. Ruby quickly said, "Leo is touring the

The week and the weekend rolled in quite quickly. Ruby was immersed in her college assignments and Luke spent most of the time at the office. But he made sure that he gave some time to Ruby. It seemed like they had grown a little closer than before. They spent some time at night, just talking about casual things. And sometimes Luke told her about what was happening at the company.On a fresh morning, Luke and Ruby were seated at the dining table while Rosa was preparing their breakfast. "Are you done with the assignments? You are working last night as well," Luke asked her after he was done scrolling through his phone. Ruby nodded her head, "Yeah, everything is done. I have to submit it today. Then I will be free for a week or so. Then again after the assessment, they will give more assignments and projects." Luke hummed, "Yeah, we had that as well. Gabriel almost dropped out of the university because of t

As Ruby entered the party hall with Luke by her side, everyone's eyes fell on them. David smiled hugely looking at son and his future daughter in law. "Sister in law, you look like a bedazzling bride," Leo said loud enough for the party hall to hear. Everyone broke out laughing at his words and some people nodded their heads agreeing with Leo and some people clapped making it clear that they are so into supporting the relationship. Luke smiled at everyone and bowed his head as an acknowledgement. But Ruby was super embarrassed and her face was crimson red by all the blushing.Luke and Ruby walked inside and the party continued. David came forward and hugged Ruby, "You are looking so beautiful, Ruby." She smiled at him, "Thanks, uncle." David then turned to face his best friend, Francesco Moretti. "Pal, this is Ruby Bakers, my future daughter in law," and he turned to Ruby and said, "This man is Francesco M

David was done introducing Ruby to most of the present at the party hall. He was super excited to introduce his next successors of the Sawyer corporation. After all the introductions, Luke took Ruby so they could share some time as well. "Do you want some juice?" Luke asked her. Ruby smiled at him. He was so caring and affectionate. Sometimes, she felt like she might truly fall for him. "Yeah I would like it," she answered. Luke got two glasses of juice. "Won't you take drinks?" She asked when she noticed two glasses of juice. She was aware that Luke occasionally drinks alcohol. Luke shook his head as a no, "With a pregnant lady on board, absolutely not getting drunk." Ruby chuckled at his cheesiness. They talked a few casual things and suddenly, there was a silent wash over the hall. Instinctively, Luke and Ruby looked at the entrance.There stood the handsome hunk, Gabriel Moretti. And the lady accompany

Anna pulls Gia to the side, she had been having some juice. “What is it, aunty?” she asked. “I have something to talk to you about. It is very important,” Anna responded. When they found a quiet corner, Gia asked, “Now, tell me what it is?” Anna looked around to make sure no one was around them, “I have a plan. I will give some spiking powder to you. Make sure to dump it into a glass of drinks and pass it to Luke. And you will take him away when he is high. And you know.. Do the deed with him.” Gia was shocked to hear this. She wanted to object by bringing her fathers name but Anna spoke before that, “Your father is also on board with this plan. We have to go with this plan because we really don't have any other huge plans now that Luke has brought in a girlfriend.”“But what if Luke does not accept me even after sleeping with him and gettin

The bright morning light beamed through the window, making Ruby squirm. She breathed heavily and rubbed her eyes. She felt like she had the best sleep of her life last night. She felt fresh and well slept. Suddenly, she sensed some weight on her body. She turned around only to see Luke sleeping next to her while one of his hands was under her neck and the other hand on her stomach. And his legs were tangled with her legs. Swallowing the saliva that was secreted in her throat, Ruby discreetly looked under the covers. "We did not have sex last night," Luke said while his eyes were still closed. Ruby got alerted and put the cover down and looked at him. "I did not ask it." Luke smirked, "But you checked the covers." Ruby frowned and huffed. She turned side ways and closed her eyes trying to avoid Luke. But it seemed like a worthless attempt because Luke rolled over and placed his hand on her waist and pulled her to him. He whispered into her ear, "Did yo
