All Chapters of Married To a Stranger : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Anderson, hey, wake up. You Okay. The policewoman gently nudged Ruby when she saw her stir.Ruby's eyes fluttered open, the cell swimming in and out of focus. She was usually so tough, but right now she was trembling.Her whole body, feeling fragile, please.Help me get to the bed. She whispered weakly. Of course, the officer hurried to help her over.How are you feeling? She asked. Ruby was genuinely sick and in no mood to play the damsel in distress.I'm severely anemic. She said directly, you need to have Zoe run another blood test on me. We could have the results right away.The policewoman frowned, studying Ruby's pale face.The Emmy is pissed off. I doubt she's coming back down here.Ruby pressed her lips into a thin, determined line. Then you draw the blood and send it to the lab.The officer hesitated.Look, I'll just head up to the Emmy's office and find someone myself with that. She left the cell.As she was walking away, Sheila suddenly called out officer. The policewoman t

Ruby's medicine-induced sleep was not peaceful. Her childhood nightmares continued.She shook her head, fighting the familiar wave of desperation. At four years old, Ruby would secretly listen to Isabel's foreign language lessons.When her stepsister faltered over words, Ruby could pronounce them flawlessly. She believed this talent would finally win her mother's approval.She never expected it to be a complete catastrophe. Sheila actually praised her and for the first time ever.Gave her a piece of cake. The sweet cream melted on her tongue, a taste so incredible she wanted to hold it in her mouth forever.She thought her life was finally about to change. Then Sheila smiled, took her by the hand and led her right out the front door.Where she handed her over to human traffickers. Ruby didn't cry or throw a fit. The traffickers gave her colorful candies.And they were gentle, even smiling at her. That all changed when they locked her in a cellar with a group of other children. That's

Ruby immediately regretted her question. It was too blunt.No one liked digging up the past, especially not that kind of past. Besides, he wasn't even in New York back then. If he were, the NYPD would have sent him home.The odds of a coincidence that wild were practically impossible. Ruby was just about to laugh it off when the hospital room door opened again.The room went quiet.Zoe entered, looking a little out of place, but she marched right up to Ruby's side.Her expression was as stern as ever. She held out a cup of warm, sweet tea, pressing it into Ruby's hand.Her gaze darted away as she said, her voice stiff.I misjudged you. I'm sorry.I hope you won't file a complaint against Donovan and the others. This was all on me. She said, after a pause.Ruby let out a soft sigh and glanced at Owen. He gave her a subtle nod.Don't worry, Ruby said, we do not intend to take this any further.Zoe looked genuinely surprised. Why not? She asked. Anyone else would be making them pay for w

Owen's words caught Ruby off guard. She dropped her gaze. yeah" I get that a lot, actually.Owen didn't interrupt. He knew there was more to it than just a clarification. He folded his arms and slouched against the wall.Ready to listen. A small wry smile touched Ruby's lips.When we were kids, Isabel hated me for it. Anytime I'd stand next to Mrs. Anderson, people assumed I was her daughter.Not Isabel. Kids never hide their feelings. Well, Isabel hadn't even tried. She pushed Ruby, hit her and gotten her friends to gang up on her and call her names.Back then, Ruby had been entirely under Sheila's control. She convinced Ruby that she owed Isabel everything.So she kept her head down, never learned how to fight back. Ruby's gaze drifted, lost in a memory.You know, for a while there, I used to wonder if the reason Sheila was so awful to me was that I wasn't her child at all.She let out a quiet breath, but no such luck. We did a DNA test. I'm definitely her daughter.It had happened

The reporter glanced down at the photo under his shoe, but didn't budge.Miss Ruby Anderson. He said coolly, that's you and your mother in the picture, right? You have a family.You know what it's like to lose someone you love? So tell me, was it really an accident?He leaned in further. Your uncle just wanted money. If you didn't want to give it to him, you could have said no.Why did you have to kill him? Alex was already stunned. Something in him cringed at the audacity and cruelty of his fellow reporters.He stepped forward immediately and tried to push the other back. Hey, back off. He snapped. Let Miss Ruby pick up her photo. That's her personal property.You don't get to use it to strong-arm her.The other reporter glared at Alex. A real reporter can't be soft like you. The woman's a murderer. You have to use different tactics with people like her.He paused and smirked. Besides, how am I strong-arming anyone? I am just here standing my ground.All I want is to ask her a few qu
