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?

Luke's phone rang when he was styling his hair. Today was his father's birthday party. He halted his action on the hair and received the phone call. "Boss!!! You have to hear this," Madeleine said in a loud voice. Luke had to move his phone away from his ears. "What is it, Madeleine?" He asked her. Again, Madeleine's voice came loudly, "I just found out what happened at the party your father hosted." Luke had almost forgotten about it. But now that his secretary had found out, he was curious to know. "Yes, tell me," he asked her expectantly. Madeleine began narrating the flashback, "As per my investigation, that evening, Anna had given some aphrodisiac powder to Gia to use it for your drinks and promised her to create a blackout and she has to make use of the situation to take advantage of your high self. And Gia did just that only until the blackout. When she came closer to you there was a blackout and she had planned to drag you to a room to do the

Anna was pissed off by Gia’s revelation. After Luke took away Gia and David and others followed them, the guests at the party scrambled away and some people almost left the party. Everyone gave one last stare at Anna before going their own ways. Unable to bear the humiliation and shame, Anna strode out of the party hall with her brother, Robert following her. He could not believe that his daughter put them to shame in front of everyone. And as per the pregnancy reports, Gia was pregnant. If it is not Luke’s baby, then whose it is? Thoughts ran through his mind as he walked. “Anna,” Robert called his sister. She gave him a glance and said, “Not now, Robert.” That shut Robert and they soon left the place. Inside the room where Gia was seated, everyone was kind of tensed up about the situation since it was so abrupt and shocking. Luke came back in

Leo sighs leaning back on his chair. His eyes traced around his new office once again. He had no count of how many times he looked at his office with no expression and no feelings. He surely loved it when he got seated on the board, but right now, he was feeling extremely bad and dumb about not having proper knowledge before getting into the position. Dejected by his dumbness, he picked up the landline and dialed the same number that he had dialed for more than nine times in the past two hours. He patiently waited for the phone call to be answered. “Hello, This is Luke Sawyer’s office,” came Madeleine’s voice. Leo winced at her cheerful voice since he will be making her voice go dull in a moment. “Madeleine, it is me, Leo.” it took a moment for Madeleine to speak again, “Yes, sir. Tell me, what can I do for you?” Leo fidgeted with the paper in front of him, “

He cracked his knuckles and neck in order to relieve some stress in his muscles and bones. His body was indicating that it is running out of energy and he needs to rest. But his mind was telling him to grab the next file and continue his work. Luke shook his head and drank some water. He could not let his body take control for this moment. Luke continued his work. Suddenly, he remembered the meeting that he had to attend in a few hours. He searched for a related file. He looked for the file in his files rack and the shelves everywhere. But he could not find it. Luke grabbed the phone and dial

Since it did not require much theory work."I have a suggestion to make," Luke said. It was a weekend and they were now seated on the couch in the living room. Ruby was laying her head on Luke's shoulder. "What is it?" She asked without looking at him."You know, the last time when we went to the hospital, we noticed that maternity classes. I think you should join it. It would be better to have a little knowledge about taking care of a baby." Ruby looked up at him and said, "If I have to join, then you will also join because you are

The morning rolled in quite late today. Last night seemed to be the longest night everyone had in their lives. Even the simplest tasks like getting out of the bed and showering was a hard thing."Are you feeling okay? Is the temperature of the milk okay?" Luke asked Ruby as he rubbed her hair. They were now sitting on the couch in the living room. Luke had barely got her to get out of the bed to begin the day. He understood that Ruby was beyond devastated about her parents and he had to be very patient with her.Ruby took the glass and nodded her head and went on to have milk in silence, while Luke sat beside her and checked his phone. There were messages from Leo and Gabriel. They had told him that they all would swing by his house later in the day. They surely had a lot to talk about."Let's shower and get ready,
