"look all you have to do is trust me and everything will be fine okay...". Gavin said to Gladys and she sighed of relief and placed her head on his shoulders
"I hope all goes as planned" Gladys said with worry written all over her face. "Of course"Gavin said and kissed her forehead

<<Yuna's Apartment>>.
"Are you nervous about meeting your dad and brother today?"Yuna asked Xyla as she sat beside her with a plate of sliced mixed fruits
"Am I meant to be nervous " Xyla scuffed while scrolling through her cell phone. "Well I mean if I were you I would be "Yuna said and placed a slice of apple in her mouth
"Well I was nervous but now?,I don't know" Xyla said and dropped her phone beside her,and turned to face Yuna
"Hmmm,well I just hope your brother is gonna be cute ASF " Yuna chuckled. "Is that all you could think of ". Xyla looked disappointed
"I can't help but think about it please" Yuna said and Xyla nodded sideways and took a slice of watermelon from Yuna's plate

<<<Gladys' Mansion>>>
A black Rolls Royce phantom got parked at the parking lot and a chauffeur stepped out and got the cars door, Xyla elegantly stepped down and took a deep breath looking around and noticing the latest G-wagon parked at the other end of the parking lot "okay...he is also rich I guess" she said to herself and headed to the entrance of the mansion
"And there is my princess!!...come, c'mon everyone is waiting for you" Gladys said with a big smile walking out from the large entrance door with her arms wide open to give Xyla a warm welcoming hug
"Okay... aren't you too excited " Xyla said looking puzzled as she hugged Gladys
"Well I'm excited, shouldn't I be?, I mean we are finally reuniting". Gladys said and patted Xyla's hair
"After 19 years?" Xyla shrugged. "That's the point Xyla,19 years of praying for this day to come and it's here!,you should have a big smile on that face" Gladys chuckled and led Xyla into the mansion
Xyla flung her purse on the couch and followed Gladys to the dinning,she slowly reduced her pace as she saw Gavin and Sage(her brother) sitting at the dinning
"C'mon take a seat baby". Gladys said and Xyla slowly took a sit trying to avoid staring at Sage
"No,no,no,no,hell no,there is no way he is my brother,like can someone explain why he has to be my brother,God he is cute!!!" Xyla said in her mind, she was so carried away she didn't know that Gladys had spoken to her
"Are you okay darling" Gladys said,calling her out of her thoughts "yeah...yeah I'm fine" Xyla said blinking rapidly
"Uhmm...so I think it's time for the intros right" Sage finally spoke and Gladys happily nodded "uh..I'll go first." Gavin said
"Yeah you should". Xyla said and Sage looked at her for a moment and she finally cought a glimps of his eyes "not the grey eyes!,God my heart is melting,he just can't be my brother"she said in her mind
"I left cause I was scared and I was being a coward...."Gavin was saying,it happened to be that Gavin has been speaking but she wasn't listening
"I wasn't ready for the responsibilities I had to carry" Gavin said
"Is that why you had to come back when there are no more responsibilities to carry" at this point Xyla couldn't hold back what was on her mind,she just had to say her mind
"Xyla give him some slack,let's hear what he has to say at least" Gladys cautioned and Sage cleared his throat, looking interested in what was about to happen
"I'm sorry Xyla,look there is no excuse for what I've done, I came back because my conscience didn't let me be,I knew I was emotionally hurting you and I came back to make things right and that will only happen if you give me a chance to do so " Gavin said,looking remorseful
"Did he know about Mom before now?" Xyla asked referring to Sage
"Sage,it's Sage,not "he"..." Sage said
"Uh well he didn't also know about her" Gavin said looking at Sage "look kids, I know everything was a mess but come on,we found each other again,let's make the best out of this, lets leave the past behind and focus on building a beautiful future together". Gladys said with excitement
"Come to think of it,we are gonna be a very beautiful family". Gavin motivated
"No one is talking about the pain that we went through" Sage said "I'm sorry Sage, pls let's let this go pls, Xyla what do you say" Gavin turned to Xyla and she scuffed and nodded sideways and stared at everyone for a moment
"Well I don't know what to say". Xyla said looking at Gavin in the eyes as he lowered his gaze "Xyla c'mon ". Gladys said and Sage took a deep breath
"Fine let's look up to a happy family "Sage said and Xyla pouted "what do you say,"darling".." Sage said to Xyla, mimicking Gladys
"You don't have to call me darling" Xyla said,clearly pissed
"Okay...Xyla!" Sage said
"Okay,okay...thank you both for letting this slide,and I promise to never disappoint you both" Gavin said and Gladys stood up to dish out the food
"Don't make promises yet". Xyla said "but he is"Sage said and Xyla scuffed "plus he is a trouble maker,God are this how siblings are" she said in her mind.
