Ruby and Luke had been just lounging around in their living room. Ruby was laying on the couch and Luke massaging her feet while they both watched the show on the TV. It was the weekend and they had decided to just stay at home and be lazy bugs.
Ruby hummed as Luke massaged her foot. Luke was being such a darling and taking care of her despite being tired from work himself.
Suddenly, Ruby’s phone rang loudly, making them startle a little bit. Ruby lightly groaned as her phone was away but closer to Luke. He chuckled at her and grabbed her phone. ‘Gabrial’s name flashed on the screen. He frowned and asked, “Why is Gabriel calling you?”
“Receive the phone call then you will know,” Ruby replied casually. Even she did not know why Gabriel was calling her on a weekend.

"Oh.. here is the precious star," Gabriel said, smiling widely at Ruby. He quickly dropped his previous action and hugged Ruby. "How is my little nephew?" He asked rubbing her baby bump. Ruby chuckled at his nephew's comment, "The baby is doing good and we don't know if it is gonna be a boy." "Of course, it is gonna be a boy," Gabriel argued and was faced with an argument from Leo, "I feel like it is a baby girl. I w

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.

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
