All Chapters of Married To a Stranger : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Nina glanced at the text, a small smile forming with her eidetic memory. She now connected the dots. Jonathan Cabot had already introduced himself to her over the phone back then, but she hadn't realised he was the same man Owen wanted to partner up with. What a small world. Ruby typed back. Okay, I'm on my way. In Cecilia's hospital room. Tension hung heavily. Jonathan checked his phone, then glanced around. Instead, his sister curled up motionless on the bed with a pale face. Their parents, Jonah and Carmella, paced anxiously nearby. "C.C., if you don't cooperate with your physical therapy, how are you ever going to get better? Please just be reasonable." Jonah pleaded, but Cecilia was resolute. "If you don't let me see Miss Anderson, I'm not doing any of it." Jonathan's brow creased. His sister's sheltered life had made her stubborn. That

Leo felt like his head was about to explode. Carter had done nothing. And yet he was being handed a position on a silver platter, just like that. The really thought, the very ease with which Carter was making strides in the company made Leo's blood boil. But he also knew better. He knew that with the deal between the two companies at such a critical point, a request like this was small potatoes to the Knight Group. With all these executives staring them down, Owen couldn't just shoot down a minor staffing change. It was infuriating. What was Jonathan's problem anyway? Even if the Cabots held a grudge, shouldn't their beef be with the main branch of the Knight family? Why is he coming after Owen? Owen, however, showed no sign of agitation. He was a master at keeping his emotions under wraps. Years at the top had honed him into someone who could bury his feelings so deeply. They might as we

The eve of the event came by quickly. The Knight-Cabot joint venture was a billion-dollar partnership. And the celebration was being held in full glittering force at the Sterling Grand Hotel. Knight employees packed the venue. Several Cabots had even flown in from Boston to mark the occasion. Back at the hospital, Cecilia was all dressed up and was being carefully lifted into her wheelchair by Jonathan. Jonah looked at her with amusement. "You hate these things. Are you sure you want to come along?" he asked with a smile. "You should probably stay. If you don't want to be alone, I'll stay here with you," Carmella added. Cecilia stared down at her phone, pouty and glum. "No." Ever since yesterday, she had tightened her grip on her phone like it was the only thing holding her together. "I need to be there. She said she

By the time Ruby put her phone down, the first dance had already ended. Carter and Isabel were looking rather triumphant after dazzling the audience. With cocky smirks on their faces, they stepped off the dance floor, only to be swarmed by a crowd of well-wishers. Just then, Todd Mullins, one of Carter's buddies, sauntered over. He said to Ruby with a smug grin. So you're Doctor N. Big deal. You're just some researcher. You really think you can hold a candle to Mr. Knight's fiancée? She's got connections all over Boston. Pretty sure that's not something you have up your sleeve. Then with a sneer, he added, it's not what you know. It's who you know. Ruby ignored him completely. Her gaze drifted past him, landing on Carmella, who was pushing a reluctant Cecilia toward Jonathan and Jonah. The four of them exchanged a few words, and Cecilia started to look agitated. A knot of worry tightened

She dug her nails into her palms, wishing the floor would just open up and swallow her whole. Her eyes began frantically scanning for an exit. Terror gripped Cecilia. Shattered by her husband and mother-in-law's betrayal, she followed her brother's direction and looked up. But instead of facing her tormentor, she met the confused gaze of the woman who had saved her life. Cecilia flinched, taken aback. Ruby was looking right at her. "CC, what exactly did I ever do to you? What did I say that made you hate me so much?" She asked, her voice a mix of concern and hurt. Cecilia was baffled, waving her hands in a panic. "No, I—" Jonathan tried to calm her. "CC, it's okay. Don't be scared
