For a split second, something shifted in Ruby's mind. The one book that might hold the answers to her entire life was gone.

All this time, it had sat in the Knight Library, untouched, gathering dust, unnoticed by everyone else.

No one had ever cared enough to look twice. It hadn't mattered to anyone but her.

  • Married To a Stranger    Chapter 45

    For a split second, something shifted in Ruby's mind. The one book that might hold the answers to her entire life was gone. All this time, it had sat in the Knight Library, untouched, gathering dust, unnoticed by everyone else. No one had ever cared enough to look twice. It hadn't mattered to anyone but her. That was when it hit her. There was only one person in the entire company who could take a book from the library. On the top floor, Owen frowned as he flipped through the thick book in his hands. He had a basic understanding of the subject, courtesy of his grandmother's illness, but yet the subject matter was dense, impenetrable. Even he couldn't help but wonder why Ruby was reading it. Leo finished his detailed report on the situation downstairs and reported, "Sir. Ruby is completely taking adva

    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. A sharp bang echoed through the office as Julian Rhodes slammed a thick stack of documents onto the conference table. He pointed at them. “Meeting. Now.” Chris didn't move. His eyes stayed glued to the screen. “Chris,” Julian barked. “Is your ass glued to that chair?” Chris flicked his gaze back to the email. It looked empty. Blank relief rushed through him.

    She answered in a cool professional tone, her voice unrecognizable. Isabel's voice was practically dripping with respect. “Hello, Dr. N. I apologize for the sudden call.” “I'm Isabel Natalia Anderson's daughter.” “I've come to you with a very exciting proposition.” “The Knight Corporation has invited you to join its R and D team with my mother's endorsement.” “Would you consider—” “Not interested,” Ruby cut in, her modulated voice cold as steel. Isabel began to protest, but Ruby interrupted. “I only consult for companies under Mrs. Anderson's direct ownership.” “Don't call me again.” And with that, she ended the call, leaving Isabel with the face of a smoking volcano. It was Monday morning when Ruby dropped the puppy off with Matilda and headed to work. Out on the street, she was

    While Natalia's hospital suite was shrouded in tension, Matilda's was lively and full of conversation. “What did we have for lunch today?” she mused out loud, straining her brain to remember. “Porridge… No, that's not it. It was noodles, right?” Owen nodded, a gentle smile on his face. “That's right.” Grandma Matilda beamed proudly. “See, I told you I'm fine. My mind is sharp as ever.” Owen remained silent. His smile was hollow. They'd eaten rice for lunch, but Matilda had forgotten again. Her memory was deteriorating with each passing day, and he didn't know how to stop it. From across the room, Ruby asked lazily, “Grandma, what color was Mr. Knight's tie yesterday?” Matilda frowned. “Sweetie, I don't like that. You call him Mr. Knight.” She turn

    Leo's words hung in the air. One by one, all eyes turned to Carter. Carter looked stunned. “Wait. Did Owen arrange this room?” he asked, his voice unsteady. “That's right,” Leo replied calmly. Owen, however, said nothing. Maintaining a composed, distant expression, he stepped out into the hallway, clearly giving the family their privacy. Only Ruby knew he was there, but she kept her lips sealed despite her surprise. Natalia was stunned, too, but she recovered quickly, forcing a smile. “So, Carter, your uncle secured the suite for you. How nice of him.” Leo chimed in with a smile. “Actually, Miss Ruby asked the boss to arrange this.” “Did you ask hi

    “I heard the hospital's packed with flu cases, not a room available yesterday.” “Yet Carter secured this one for us.” “We're indebted to him.” Natalia's eyes went wide. “Did he arrange this?” “Sweet. I must thank him.” “He really is a good kid.” Isabel jumped on the opportunity. “Mom, since Carter has been so good to you.” She barreled on with a dramatic sigh. “The Knight family wants Carter to lead R&D, but the veteran researchers won't respect him.” “If Doctor N came on board, even as a consultant, Carter would gain the authority he needs.” After she finished speaking, Isabel watched her mother's face. Sure enough, she saw the conflict there. Natalia had principles. She hated calling in favors, but she hated owing them even more. Natalia hesitat

    Dinner with Natalia. The thought warmed her, but she also felt uncertain. A bitter smile touched her lips as an old memory surfaced. Ten years ago, the first weekend after she'd moved out, she went back t

    At the Anderson family estate, Isabel sat on the living room sofa, fat tears running down her face. The red shape of a handprint was still stark against her swollen cheek. Sheila's voice turned into a snarl when she looked at her darling daughter's condition. Izzie, that little brat only attack

    Isabel's claim of knowing Dr. N then spiraled in Ruby's head. She couldn't even process it. Had she accidentally signed off something without reading? Made some bizarre contract mistake? But before she could dig deeper into the panic rising in her chest, Professor Miller's sharp gasp snapped he

    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
