Anna had a confused look on her face while Leo sipped some coffee that was freshly served. Her son did not help her in any way and she kinda knew he would not."Kicking them out of the house? Who are you kicking out of the house?" Anna asked impatiently.David smiled at her again, "Leo and Gia."Anna’s facial expression changed from confused to perplexed, “What?”David got back to checking the papers, “You heard me correctly. I am kicking out Leo and Gia.”Anna alternated looking at her son and her niece, but neither of them were looking at her. They were all concentrated on the paper in David's hand. She wondered what the papers were. Oh shit! Did that threatening bastard send her past in a deta

Anna dragged her brother, Robert away from the living room. They had much more important things to take care of right now. Anna was having contemplated thoughts about telling Robert about the handwriting test results. Would her brother betray her at any point? Despite putting himself at stake? She had no idea.“Where have you been, Robert? You said you would come back soon but it took you one whole month to come back here,” Anna asked. She purposely began the talk with casual things. She heard Robert sighing behind her, “Ask me about it. One of the shipments at the west coast got seized. We had some internal connections there. But that officer was abruptly transferred to a different base and our shipment was seized by the newly appointed officer. It took a lot more work and money than I expected to get it cleared.”Anna frowned at the ne

From not knowing who is the father of Gia’s baby to not figuring out how Robert's handwriting is involved in the threats that they received, Anna had been feeling torn. The next few days went by very badly for her. Her husband has been completely ignoring her and barely gives her a nod whenever she asks something. And since her son has been living separately, she has not been able to talk to him and get to know about what projects are happening at the company.Right now, she was just sprawled on the couch and scrolled through her phone. The senior butler of the house noticed her and came to ask, “Maám, would you like to have anything.”‘I would love to have all the wealth of the Sawyer family.’ She thought in her mind but voiced out something else, “No, Orlando. I am going to meet Leo. Pack some of his favourite cookie

Anna just realized that she was the only woman of this family to not get involved in the Sawyer Corporation. The founding woman was an integral part of the company and the next woman, Andrea was also part of the company and the future woman, Ruby is also getting involved in the company even before marrying Luke.“And why was I not allowed to be involved in the company?” Anna asked. “I don’t think I have to be giving an explanation to you or anybody for that matter. This is my family’s company and I have all the right to hire and fire people,” David gave a stern answer. He was pissed off at Anna for what she made Gia do and ruining that young girl’s life.Anna was fuming with anger by now. She threw the package that she was holding and stormed out of Luke’s office.Davi

Ruby tossed and turned on her bed. She could feel that the morning had arrived since there was a fresh breeze coming through her window. She turned around and grabbed her phone to check the time. The clock showed 8:30 AM. She rubbed her eyes and rechecked the time and it still showed the same. She was confused because Luke usually woke her up at 7:30 in the morning everyday. But he had not today. He had tucked her into her bed last night securely and went to his room. She wondered what he was doing without waking her up yet.Ruby slowly and carefully got out of the bed and freshened up and went to Luke's room."Luke….. Luke…." Ruby called his name as she entered his room. She noticed that he was still on his bed, wrapped in his blanket.Ruby sat on his bed and pulled the blanket from his face, "Luke,"

Leo helped Ruby to get into his car and settle in her seat. He even strapped the seatbelt, which made Ruby frown, "You know, I am not disabled. I can strap the seatbelt on my own," Ruby said when Leo was in the driver seat and started the engine. Leo smirked at her words, "I know. I know. But my brother seems to not know it. He literally told me 'Don't make Ruby do any kind of work. Not even strapping the seatbelt. You better be careful as if you are carrying a precious porcelain'."Ruby groaned at the cheeky sentence Leo just said. "I am sure that Luke did not say those words."Leo pretended to be hurt by her words, "What? You don't believe me?" Ruby shook her head, "Not even a bit."Leo continued to show his disbelief, "Fine. You can ask him when we go home.""I plan t

Ruby brought a Tylenol for Luke which he gulped down in one go. After a few minutes, Leo helped his brother to lay down. "Get well soon, bro. I will come by in the evening or tomorrow morning to check on you," Leo said to his brother. Luke smiled at his brother and waved him off. Ruby pulled the blanket over Luke's body and said, "Take a nap. I will wake you up later."Leo and Ruby sat down in the living room and had breakfast. As Ruby's baby bump grew, she could not find a comfortable posture to have food at the dining table. So she had officially shifted her eating to the living room. Right now, Leo was giving her the company for breakfast.Leo hummed in delight as he took the first spoon of rice porridge into his mouth, "Yum…. Ruby… this is so good." Ruby smiled and nodded her head as she also ate. "Have some more, there is more in the kitchen.

To say Anna was shocked to hear about Alexander Sawyer's arrival would be an understatement. She was absolutely not expecting that news. It was so abrupt and doubtful. Why has he come back to the country only now? After all these years? Or wait, was he the one who sent the threatening notes to her? But it had Robert's handwriting and Alexander arrived in the country last night as per the information the security guard told.With so many thoughts twisting and turning inside her head, Anna started the engine to drive back home.Suddenly, her phone rang, making her wince at the name on the screen. Mrs Beth, the woman whom Anna had come here to meet.Clearing her throat, Anna received the phone call, "Hello, Mrs Beth.""Hello, Mrs Sawyer. Are you here yet? We are waiting for

Alexander smirked widely and left out a chuckle, "Oh come on, son. Don't be a spoilsport. If I agreed to come here as you asked then I would not have this fun of raising everyone's blood pressure. And you know I so love doing it. And also my first great grandbaby is on the way, I should be here."David sighed hearing his father's words while on the other hand Luke could not help but laugh at his grandfather's response. Alexander Sawyer was surely a one of a kind man. There was no doubt about it.Since David gave up arguing about his father's arrival, Alexander's next target was his grandson, Leo."Go on, Mr Leonardo Sawyer, continue with your presentation," he said that with a smirk on his face much to Leo's displeasure.Leo managed to nod his head and the room was set t

The Sawyer men entered the penthouse and went directly to the living room where Ruby had already sat down. Luke sat down beside Ruby and gave her a smile which hinted at a slight grinning as well. She leaned to him and whispered, "You should have told me about your grandfather's arrival."Luke leaned to her ears and whispered, "I also did not know that he would be here. In fact no one knew except himself." Ruby was about to respond something but was interrupted.Alexander settled on the huge single couch and looked at Ruby and Luke whispering to each other, "I see that you two are very close."Ruby turned to face Alexander and replied, "I see that you are very spontaneous and unpredictable, grandpa."Alexander seemed to be smirking more than he had ever done. This girl's
