That's impossible. I saw her. His grandmother insisted.

She just dumped me on the police and ran off. Can you believe she did that? She huffed.

Give me your phone. She told him.

Owen handed it over without protest. The old woman squinted at the screen, then carefully copied the most recent number from his call history.

Into her small notebook.

The next morning, Ruby's phone rang. It was her university advisor.

Ruby, I need you on campus.

Immediately.

Confused, Ruby hopped on h

    I can't talk right now. Owen muttered, his hand tightening around his phone. I'm with my wife. The silence on the other end lasted only a heartbeat. Before it shattered. Your wife. The woman screamed so loudly he had to pull the phone away. You promised me, Owen. When we were little, you promised you'd marry me when I turned 20. Owen shut his eyes for a second. He could hear the panic in her voice. The kind that always came before things spiraled. Kara, he tried. You're a liar. A big fat liar. Kara Wintor's voice broke, her anger turning into raw, messy sobs. How could you do this to me? After everything, after what I did for you. Owen felt the familiar irritation rise sharp and quick, but beneath it was something heavier. Guilt, obligation, the weight of a promise made by a nine-year-old boy who had no idea what he was saying. The memory dragged him back before he could stop it. He had been nine, nine and terrified. Locked in a dark room with a dozen other kidnapped childr

    Sebastian froze mid-step for one impossible, heart-stopping moment. Time seemed to collapse in on itself.The restaurant, the noise, the world around.Mountain, all of.Dissolved into nothing.There was only her.The woman sitting alone at the table. His breath caught in his throat, his pulse roared in his ears.Mother, Sebastian gasped. No, it couldn't be.But the resemblance was so staggering, so visceral, that his mind refused to accept what his eyes were telling him.The depth in her blue eyes, the way her hair fell, the expression on her face as she glanced around the room.It was like watching a ghost step out of a photograph from years ago.He felt the ground tilt beneath him.Uncle Caleb's voice came from somewhere far away.I need to step out for a quick meeting. Sebastian didn't respond. He couldn't. He was rooted to the spot.Staring at the young woman, as if she might vanish, if he so much as blinked.Caleb glanced down at his phone, already scrolling through messages. I'l

    Richard's voice cracked. He cleared his throat and looked at Bartholemy. She was just here, wasn't she? Dad, yes, Bartholemy jumped in quickly, just moments ago, actually, probably still in mother's wing. Or perhaps she stepped out for some air. Melissa cut in. The house has been so crowded with guests. Sebastian's gaze moved slowly between the three of them. Cold sweat beaded on Richard's forehead as he exchanged a desperate look with Bartholemy. This Ruby is stuck on us like a leech. Bartholemy cursed internally. We need to get her off our hands. He cleared his throat nervously, equally unsettled by this turn of events. Just then, Owen returned from his call and gestured toward the entrance. Mr. Sterling. Please come inside. Sebastian nodded and followed him in, with Bartholemy and Richard trailing behind. Once inside, Bartholemy finally found his voice. Send a message to Sherry. He muttered under his breath. Tell her to get mother sweet, ready for Mr. Sterling. Richard

    When Ruby tried to enter Matilda's room, Sherry blocked her path. Well, Sherry said, her voice dripping with false sweetness. I can see why Grandma's been so exhausted lately. All this drama must be absolutely draining for someone her age. She looked at me. Oh. In a dismissive way. Some people bring chaos wherever they go, don't they? It's practically a talent. Ruby met Sherry's condescending gaze without flinching. Some people mistake peace for silence. They're not the same thing. Now, if you excuse me, I need to speak with Grandma. She added her tone, calm but firm. Sherry's eyes darted away before she forced a bright smile. Researcher Liam is conducting a physical exam and logging data. I'm afraid, now isn't a good time. Is that? So Ruby's gaze slid to Liam, who stood right in the middle of the room. Liam, clutching a notebook, gave her a professionally detached nod. That's right. We'd appreciate your understanding. Mrs. Knight. Ruby let out a soft, humorless scoff. Sh

    The Butler scurried off, and for a second, Owen looked like he was going to follow. Instead, he stopped and turned back to Ruby. When I was a kid, I spent some time overseas training with Sebastian, he said. His voice low. He's basically a mentor to me. Ruby got it instantly. He knew she didn't want to see the man, and this was his way of saying he had to. She managed a small smile to tell him it was okay. Sure. Go ahead. Owen gave her hand a gentle squeeze before turning and striding outside. Ruby waited by the door for a moment, then pulled out her phone. Message from Fabian Ross was waiting for her doctor. I've reached the Knight residence. Do you want to come get the medicine? Or should I have the guards let me in? Ruby stared at the screen, her thumb hovering over the reply button. Should I tell Fabian to come in? She wondered. But with Owen already in the loop and Matilda doing better, she thought it was probably best to keep her identity as the head of Origin under w

  • Married To a Stranger    Chapter 185

    Ruby stood outside, Matilda, sweet, with Owen watching the closed door from a distance, her mind still reeling from what had just transpired inside. Less than an hour ago, Sherry had swept in with her supposed savior, Researcher Liam, from the Origin. Seeing what was allegedly one of only 50 doses of the groundbreaking Alzheimer's medication. The entire family had fawned over him, grateful for this impossible favor. But Ruby knew what they didn't. Origin was not supposed to be distributing the medicines like this. The man wasn't even authorized to take it. He'd stolen it. And when she tried to stay and monitor Matilda's treatment, they'd forced her out, citing confidentiality protocols and threatening to give the dose to someone else if she didn't cooperate. But what shocked her the most was Owen's reaction. Why did he simply take her hand and lead her outside without protest, agreeing to Richard and Bartholomew's demand? Ruby studied her husband's face, searching for answers

    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

    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
