Gia hummed happily as she opened her eyes to the bright morning. She stretched her arms. She felt her body was well spent. She rolled over to see the man next to her. To say that she was shocked would be an understatement. She was terrified and horrified would be the proper words to use. The man laying naked next to her was not Luke. She immediately felt tears forming inside her eyes. The man awoke to her sniffing sound. He got worried seeing her like this. “Hey, what happened? please don’t cry,” he tried to console her. He leaned forward to hold her but she quickly resisted and went backwards. She could not stop the tears flowing from her eyes.
She immediately got off the couch and looked around for her clothes. The skirt and top were in a good condition but her underwear was completely torn. She wore the dress and was about to dash out of the room. But the man called for her, "Hey, wait

"So, this is how much quote we are going to make, Mr Barnard," Samuel said the last word in his presentation. Luke had assigned him to a project that was making big companies crazy. Luke wanted to secure that project to his company. In the conference, Luke, and a few executives and the Barnard's oldest son, were seated. Since Luke knew the Barnard's oldest son as they went to the same university, he had taken the liberty to invite him for a meeting. And also Luke wanted to test Samuel's performance.Luke had a smile on his face as the meeting came to an end. He was kind of satisfied by the presentation. If he was on the other side of the project, then he would have definitely considered the quote. Luke turned to his left to see Barnard. He had no expression on his. Sensing Luke's gaze on him, Barnard turned to Luke and smiled. "The presentation was wonderful," he said. Luke raised his brows, "Does that mea

At the college, Ruby is excited about going home soon after the first class. Luke was so supporting of her even when she said she would attend the first class just so the principal sees her. Ruby entered the classroom and looked at their usual spot. Mia was already seated there. Ruby smiled at her and went ahead and sat beside her best friend. "You are late," Mia says. Ruby nodded her head, "Yeah, I woke up late. And I barely managed to come to the college. I will go back home after the first class." Mia's face fell, "Oh.. what shall I do alone in the class without you?" Ruby giggled and said, "You also go home. I have been feeling nauseous a lot and feel sleepy all the time." Mia snorted, "Perks of being pregnant," Ruby faked a frown, "You get pregnant and then you will know about it." Mia shook her head with shock, "No ways. Babies are too much work. It will not suit me. I am a career woman." Ruby scoffed at those words. It is not like she was belit

Next day morning, Samuel was in a good mood. To his surprise, Mr Barnard had sent in the contract earlier than he mentioned. Luke had gone to visit the Barnard’s to finalise the contract. Samuel came to Luke’s office assuming he had returned. He had to talk about the project and funds. He noticed Luke’s secretary and went to her, “Hey, has the boss come yet?” he asked expectantly. Madeleine looked up at him and smiled, “Not yet. Please be seated and wait for his arrival. If you have work, then I can call you when the boss arrives.” Samuel smirked at her, “I don’t think I have anything better to do. I could stand here and talk to you.” Madeleine clearly understood his intention of flirting. She had her doubts about this guy because he was the replacement for Mason Stevens’ spot. And he has already got a huge project to work on. She wondered if he is the guy that Anna has planted. Anna ha

“Sir… why my age? Single or not?” Madeleine stuttered. She was shocked to hear those words from her boss. Luke chuckled realizing her dilemma, "I think I know a guy that might be suitable for you." Madeleine felt embarrassed for assuming things, "Sorry sir." "So what is your age? And single or not?" Luke asked as switched on his computer. And sent a quick text message to Leo, telling him that he is back in his office. "I am 25 and I am single. Have been single since I joined the company," she answered. Luke raised his brows, "Are you telling me now that the company caused your breakup?" Madeleine blinked her eyes and nodded her head simultaneously, "Yeah, kind of. The last guy I dated had ego issues. He could not digest the fact that I was working as the secretary to the CEO of the Sawyer corporation." Luke leaned into his hand on the desk, "So, I caused your

Leo did not have any patience to stay back at work. He wanted to be alone. He looked for his team leader and asked, "Is it okay if I took the rest of the day off? I am not feeling well?" The poor team leader could not say anything. He did not want to get a rival out of Leo. "Yes, sure, that is fine, go ahead," he tone resembled a frightened person. Leo strode out of the office building. Why was no one helping him? When he reached his house, he did not even park his car properly. He threw the car keys at the watchman and went inside. He was behaving like an absolute spoiled brat. Anna, who was sitting in the living room while reading a magazine, saw her son. "Why are you back so early? Did you not have any work? Your brother seemed to have garnered one of the biggest projects of the year." She was delighted to receive the news from Samuel. He had done hi

Luke drove inside the Sawyer estate as his father had asked for his presence. He did not know what was the matter."As expected," Anna commented, seeing Luke coming to the estate first thing in the morning. After she messed up with Leo's head, and his talk with his father, Leo had locked himself inside his room. And did not eat or talk with anyone. She found it to be childish but she was glad that her son was putting in some effort. And her comment about Luke's arrival was accurate. Since their childhood, whenever Leo puts up a tantrum, her husband would tell Luke to talk to him. It seems like the same case even now.Luke ignored Anna's comment and went to his father's study room. "You called me so early?" He said sitting in front of his father. "Your brother has gone crazy," David said, sighing. He barely caught up with some sleep last night. He was trying to

Leo, Luke and their father came out of the study room. David invited Luke to have breakfast with them to which he happily agreed. Since he was showered and ready to go to work, he might as well eat here. He had already informed Ruby about having an early start of the day. At the dining table, everyone was present except for Gia. David took a seat in the center. Luke sat beside Leo and on the other side, Anna sat with Robert. It seemed like Robert had taken a liking to having an extended stay here."Where is Gia? Has she not woken up yet?" Leo asked his mother. Anna shook her head, "I have no idea where she is." She glanced at Luke to see if he gave any reaction to it. But it seemed like he was unwavered by the mention of her. She wondered if he does not know that Gia is one that he slept with that night? Or did Gia come home before he woke up?They began the br

They did not realize how fastly the days would roll in. By now, Ruby and Luke had got their second scanning and Ruby had secretly given the scanning photo to David which delighted him more than ever. He spent a good time seeing his grandbaby grow into a little human. And Leo had got transferred and secured all the shares from Gabriel’s names. Although their little battle about dating Mia was still ongoing, Gabriel had happily congratulated Leo on becoming a shareholder at the Sawyer corporation. It seemed like Mia and Gabriel had come around to accept that they both had romantic feelings for each other. Leo was upset about it but he had let go. Or so everyone thought.This morning, everyone in the Sawyer was awake earlier than ever. It was the day of the board meeting. Leo would be proposed as a new director, and there would be voting of all the board members. And Anna was quite n
