Owen and Sebastian had barely crossed the long corridor when Carter's enraged roar ripped through the hall. Izzie! Then they heard Isabel's shrill scream, "My baby, Ruby, how could you? You did this on purpose?" "You killed my baby." Owen's brow furrowed and he quickened his pace, pushing through the door. Sebastian, however, hung back. Startled as he was, his promise to Natalia was a lot more important to him than some domestic dispute between the Knights and Andersons. Once he saw that the commotion wasn't about the ailing Natalia, he let out a quiet sigh of relief. He stayed out in the hall and turned to Caleb, who was standing guard. "What's going on?" Caleb looked just as dazed. Just 2 min ago, his uncle had sent him to check on Natalia. But when he entered, he saw Isabel and Ruby struggling with each other as if in some sort of wrestling match. Inside the hospital room, Isa

Owen's mind raced as he considered this overly complicated situation. Sebastian Sterling was a titan who could put the fear of God in anyone. If he'd promised to protect Natalia, and, by extension, Isabel. Then it wouldn't matter if the baby wasn't Carter's or not, Sebastian would still make sure Ruby paid the price. Owen's eyes were cold. "What does he want?" Caleb's focus shifted to Ruby. "Isabel's child is gone. Amends have to be made. My uncle is downstairs and wants answers. Ruby." "Do you have the guts to go down and face him?" She opened her mouth to say yes, but Owen cut her off. "Not happening. Isabel's deceased child has nothing to do with Ruby." "I won't let you take her." Caleb scoffed. "Owen, that's not your call to make." "I'm her husband, so it absolutely is." Owen's voice rumbled dangerously. "In fact, it's you and your dear uncle who had no goddamn business barging in here." "I don't care what he promised, Mrs. Anderson, but I'll do what I must to

Isabel's heart lurched as she stared at the report in Leo's hands. He passed the file to Ruby. Before she could even react, Ruby flipped it open. Eagerly, a quick glance confirmed the results. It was a DNA mismatch, just. As she'd expected. A small, knowing smirk touched her lips as she looked up at Carter. So the reports here, Carter sneered confidently, perfect. Let's get this over with so everyone can finally see the truth. Ruby held up the file, but just as she was about to hand it to Carter, a hand shot out and snatched it from her grasp. Sheila took it and read it. Then her eyes went wide with disbelief as she stared at Isabel. Isabel's eyes darted around guiltily. Sheila, what is it? Why are you looking at me like that? Read out what's in the report. It'll prove I'm innocent. Her message was clear, lie to their faces. Carter chimed in, hand it over. I can't wait

Henry's wild, unhinged laugh sent a shiver down Zoe's spine. But her ears perked up the second he was ready to spill the beans. She had been anxiously waiting to hear this big, dark secret that Shane Sutton had passed along. Go on. Tell me. Zoe urged, pushing the phone closer to him. So the recorder caught each word clearly. Henry's eyes flashed with a strange glint as he announced. Ruby is Natalia Anderson's real daughter. Isabel is the illegitimate one. My aunt Sheila. Swapped them at birth. Zoe's jaw hung open, completely floored. What did you just say? That's impossible. Her eyes still wide with shock, snapped back to Henry. So you and Isabel, your cousins. Henry's expression faltered. No, it's not like that. I'm adopted. I found out when I was a teenager. My dad was so drunk, he spilled out all the truth. He dropped his head into

Oblivious to the media mayhem on the hospital's third floor, Owen and Sebastian were still locked in their tense standoff inside Sebastian's luxury sedan. Caleb's little jokes, coupled with Owen's staunch defense, convinced Sebastian not to go completely gangster on Ruby. But the man was still simmering with anger on Natalia's behalf. Listen.Owen,you better tell your wife too, but the wailing of a police siren interrupted him. Sebastian's eyes narrowed. Who called the cops, damn. This just got serious. Caleb noted his easy smile, turning tense. Owen was equally miffed, but his frown smoothed when he saw the officer who dashed out of the car. Zoe, seeing her rushing toward the building. He knew she had to be there for Ruby, so he played it cool, not letting on that. He knew her. Isn't it for the best? Owen reasoned calmly, if Ruby really did push Isabel, then she can face the music. You don't need to get involved anymore. Glared at him. Don't play games with me, you li
