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 boo

Married To a Stranger Chapter 133
Natalia had always been the epitome of grace. It was almost impossible to imagine her ever getting physical with someone. But Isabel had crossed all lines of decency. This time, Isabel's head snapped to the side. She froze for a second, then glared at her mother, yelling, why are you hitting me? It's obviously Ruby, who's in the wrong. Here. Natalia's eyes were like a fiery lake. I told you to shut your mouth, stop pouring gasoline on the fire. Good God, this has gotten too intense. I'll go get Mr. Anderson. Julian murmured. He took the trembling Kara and led her out of the charge hallways. Her mother's slap hadn't been strong, but the sting of humiliation stayed with Isabel. Mom, is everything I do wrong in your eyes? I'm just trying to help Kara stand up for herself. I want Ruby to face what she's done. She screamed. And you're going to stop me from doing even that. Is Ruby, that perfect in your eyes, even when she's the other woman. The homewrecker. You still take h
Married To a Stranger Chapter 132
Ruby was slightly intimidated by Julian and Natalia's scrutiny. They looked at her with a strange intensity, which only made her quicken her footsteps. Once I show them the certificate, hopefully these two will stop hounding me. She sighed. Herself. As she walked toward the lounge, Julian was still chattering away. So is your husband attending the event? If he is, you two should make a grand entrance later. That'll shut everyone up. Exactly. Natalia chimed in. That's just what Ruby was planning. Ruby. It tuned them out and pushed on the lounge door, but it didn't budge because it was locked from the inside. This was Matilda's private lounge that only Ruby and Owen had access to, who could possibly be in here. The thought had barely formed. When the lock clicked, the door swung open and Isabel stepped out. Her eyebrows shot up when she saw them. Mom, Ruby, what are you two doing here? Ruby arched a brow right back at her. Natalia explained, Ruby's bag is in there. We
Married To a Stranger Chapter 131
Natalia hadn't heard her deceased mother's name in years. Narissa Norton was nothing short of a legend back in Boston. But in New York City, no one knew of her greatness. Yes, I have a photo of your mother in my collection. Jonah confirmed, excitedly. At that, Natalia's eyes lit up. Oh my goodness. I can't believe it. When the photos are restored, you have to show them to me. Jonah looked surprised. Natalia, are you saying you don't have any photos of her? Natalia shook her head with a sigh. Before I moved to New York, there was a fire at our house. All the photos were destroyed. A nostalgic look filled her eyes. My health has been poor for years, and I've been sick so often. It's been over 20 years. I've almost forgotten what my own mother looked like. Hearing this, Jonah sighed sympathetically. I remember hearing about that back then. Such a shame. But how did she pass away? She was only in her forties, wasn't she still so young? Ruby finally understood this wa
Married To a Stranger Chapter 129
Matilda's request for a promise utterly took Ruby aback. It was not the most demanding request. It was the least she could expect from her grandson's partner to stay with him till the very end. Ruby's life with Owen started on a strange note, but soon enough, they found themselves in an intangible bind. It was not expressed. But the weirdly attached couple felt it over time, their bond had gotten stronger. Ruby wasn't sure about Owen's feelings for her. But she had stood by her through thick and thin. She had not gotten the kind of response from him that would give her the confidence. But deep down. Something in her had already been lit. A tiny spark that gave her hope, even if she didn't know it yet. And without any hesitation, her hands filled Matilda's. I promise, grandma, she said. Matilda's face broke into a relieved smile. Thank you, sweetie. She said, you do
Married To a Stranger Chapter 130
The Knight House was already buzzing. Bright and early. When Ruby came downstairs, she found Owen lounging on the living room sofa, a rare sight for this time. Time of day, she stretched, strolled over and arched an eyebrow. Playing hooky. She smirked. She'd just woken up and her face was fresh and glowing. Even without makeup. Her skin was clear, her lips pink and pristine. Even in her pajamas. She looked radiant. Owen glanced up from his phone, his eyes instantly growing soft. Morning, I have a meeting at ten. He informed, then a few things to take care of around three. I'll be back for the party tonight. Ruby nodded. So why are you still here? Owen cleared his throat and rose to his feet, his cheeks flushing faintly. Grandma wants us to try on our outfits. Ruby blinked, not understanding his reaction. Huh? He closed the distance between them, gently taking her h

By the time Isabel finished speaking, she had already dialed the number. She held the phone up, her smile smug, as if the truth was finally about to spill.It was the time of reckoning. But as fate would have it, it was the number Ruby no longer had in use. Ruby had several phone numbers.One was public, the others were private. She had one for Dr. N, one for research work, and a few more for specific uses.Eventually, Ruby lost track of them and decided to keep them all turned off. It gave her a sense of calm amid the otherwise frantic life she had lived.It grew on her, and soon enough, she had found herself away from the life of constant phone calls. If something really came up, she would receive an email instead.This was the way she had worked. The moment Isabel dialed it, she connected to a recorded voice on the other end, informing her that the number had been turned off.Ruby lifted an eyebrow. That's it. That was your pl

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
Married To a Stranger Who Knows Dr.N
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
Married To a Stranger Owen Knight
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
