Reading the two texts once again, Lina chortled as she looked up at him.
"Someone misbehaved and needed to be taught a proper lesson." She revealed the reason for sending him those texts.
"What is there to not understand, Brother Reuben~?" She imitated Talia's way of calling him.
For playing this prank, she was given a mild flick to her forehead by her boyfriend.
"When did I become your brother? I am your Ruby!" He announced with pride that he was her Ruby, making her giggle and nod.
The man was no longer shy or embarrassed by the nickname she had given him. He had embraced and assimilated it into being a part of his identity now.
"Yes, you are mine!" Lina declared which brought a surge of happiness into his heart.
However, he was oblivious of the reason why she had said so and had failed to notice the menacing glint that passed through her eyes.
