Ruby's email stared right back at Chris. His heart skipped a beat. There was no way.

She could have solved it, or so he thought, not even Julian Rhodes, with his fancy doctorate, could crack a core problem like that on such a tight deadline.

So how the hell was some undergrad supposed to solve it? I don't care how much Professor Miller hyped her up, Chris thought inwardly.

He moved his mouse, opened the email and froze.

    Mia thrashed against him, panic rising in her chest. "Don't!" She shoved Caleb back with all her strength, her hand flying protectively over her stomach. "I'm only a month along," she pleaded, her voice trembling. "We can't do this. I could have a miscarriage." "So?" Caleb scoffed, completely unmoved. "Are you really that worried?" Tears welled in Mia's eyes. "Caleb, how can you say that? This is your child too!" "I told you it's not mine!" He snapped, his voice dropping to a low, menacing growl. "Why are you really that attached to it? Is that why you refuse to get an abortion?" One look at the cold fury on his face told Mia it was hopeless. Nothing she said would ever get through to him. Defeated, she closed her eyes and let her arms drop to her sides in total surrender. But her compliance only seemed to infuriate him more. He stormed over to the sofa and sat down, his posture radiating a cold, tyrannical authority. Caleb sneered at her innocence. "Don't play dumb with me. W

    Mia was finally home. Ruby was a little surprised when a video call from her popped up on her screen. "Whoa, that was fast," Ruby said, studying her friend. "How are things with your parents?" On the screen, Mia offered a small, triumphant smile. "I'm Caleb's fiancée. Now they're treating me like royalty, so I don't think they'll ever lay a hand on me again. Don't worry, I'm basically the golden child of the Wembley family now." Ruby stared hard at her friend's face. "Mia, be real with me. Does Caleb actually believe that baby is his?" Mia nodded. "He does. That's why we're rushing into a shotgun wedding." She let out a soft sigh. "But he's such a player. If I weren't pregnant, I doubt he'd ever agree to marry me." Ruby replied instantly, "Then don't go through with it. You can't trap yourself in a lifetime commitment just because of a baby." "Are you kidding me?" Mia winked at the camera. "This is my golden ticket, and I am cashing it in. I don't care about him; I care about t

    Ruby's face fell. "What's the catch?" she asked."You complete the missions I give you."Ruby scoffed. Of course. It wouldn't be that easy."And if I can't?" she challenged.The voice on the other end laughed. "Reina, you know your mother is a traitor to the Anderson family, right? What do you think happens when a traitor is brought back to the compound?"Ruby's stomach dropped and her voice trembled. "What happens?""Solitary confinement would be a mercy. In a case like your mother's, they'd make sure she suffers. They have methods—old and cruel methods designed to break a person in every way imaginable. Her fate would be a public lesson, and it won't be a swift one."The threats made the room spin. Ruby glanced around, half expecting to find herself transported back to some barbaric, ancient era. This was the 21st century, for God's sake! How could a place with its own private torture chambers even exist?But Ruby wasn't naive. Sure, the United States was founded on equality and jus

    Even though Mia had made up her mind to cut ties with her own family for the sake of her child on the inside, she was absolutely terrified. It was hard to lose all that she had worked so hard for. She had spent years rising within the ranks of the Wembley group, using her easy charm against her will to schmooze with those sleazebags so that the company would secure some great deals.And she was finally beginning to think all that grinding was paying off. Kenneth himself had willingly promoted her and praised her, reminding her that she was worth something. She had slowly started to gain the main branch's acceptance when Winston apologized to her parents.Things were really starting to look up, but now it would all be gone, just like that.She would be jobless. Her parents might be thrown out of the estate. Her grandma wouldn't be buried next to her grandpa.And worst of all, she'd have to leave Boston, the city she was raised in, because as long as she was here, everyone would know sh

    As angry as Caleb was at the thought of her having another man's baby, the way she was being humiliated was bordering on abuse. He'd initially remained quiet, hoping she'd blurt out the real father's name under all that pressure, but her resilience was shocking. Admirable, even. Yet the public and her own brother were giving her hell. He couldn't keep watching any longer. He was going to step in, but Ruby's warning growl made him pause. "Don't cross the line, Matthew!" Ruby shoved Matthew away from Mia, then stood in front of her protectively. "I'm her older brother," Matthew shot back. "If she has no respect for herself, then it's my job to teach her a lesson." "Oh, shut up," Ruby retorted. Mia was too rattled to speak. She kept her head down, ashamed and afraid. "Getting pregnant before she's married is her choice," Ruby argued. "You're violating her personal freedom." Matthew jabbed a finger in her direction, his voice rising with fury. "Look, I'm not berating her for get

    Mia froze," as she saw Caleb. She crumpled the paper towel in her hand, tossed it in the trash, and quickly tried to smooth down her messy hair. "I think you've lost your way. You're in the women's restroom," she stated coldly. "I know where I am." Caleb was leaning against the wall, biting down the tinge of concern he felt for her. He replaced it with the casual arrogance he was known for. "I just came to see what a train wreck you are." "Seriously, what's the difference?" "If pregnancy is hitting you this hard, why not just get rid of it?" She clenched her hands. "That's none of your business." Caleb scoffed. "Fine, guess I'm just being nosy, but Mia... does your family know?" Mia's jaw tightened. She didn't want to engage, so she walked right past him, but Caleb fell into step beside her. His voice was low and goading. "What, did I hit a nerve? I honestly don't get it. Why are you so hell-bent on having this baby? Is the dad a super rich guy or something?" These words we

    To them,She was still the unwanted one, and Ruby never bothered correcting them. Let them underestimate her, let them sneer. Because the day they learned she was Doctor N, they'd latch on to her again and use her all over. Ruby vowed that she would never let that happen. There was no way in hell

  • Married To a Stranger    Unknown Husband

    Miss Anderson, you're already married. You cannot marry again. The shocked city clerk said flatly as he slid a paper towards Ruby. Here's your marriage certificate, so we cannot register you again. Ruby blinked, shocked. I'm sorry. What did you just say? You're married? He snapped, waving to the

    Ruby had guarded her identity as Dr. N fiercely, planning to keep it hidden for as long as possible. It was the only sanctuary she had from the toxicity of her other life. They're trying hard. But don't worry, we'll maintain complete confidentiality. Miles assured. You sure? She pressed. Absolu

    In an instant, Owen's face darkened, his eyes narrowed, completely void of emotion. He stared at her for a second, then turned to head back into the party. Ruby quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his path. Owen's brow furrowed. Move, he ordered. His voice was low and smooth. The kind of v
