Jade paced back and forth, biting her nails anxiously. She pulled out her phone and was about to make a call when she spotted Karina's car pulling into the parking lot.

A smile flashed across her face.

She slipped her phone back into her purse and hurried over.

Jade stepped directly into Karina's path.

“What did you do to Devon?” Karina demanded, grabbing her wrist.

Jade shook her off and crossed her arms.

“What does it matter to you?” she scoffed.

Her gaze briefly flickered toward the hotel ac

    “Surprise!”Karina laughed as she threw her arms around Devon.Almost instantly, the darkness around them disappeared as dozens of lights flickered on one after another. Devon instinctively looked up before lowering his gaze to the winding trail of warm lights stretching into the distance.The entire place looked...Magical.For the first time in weeks, he found himself simply taking it all in.Karina gently tapped his shoulder before slipping back onto the ground. She beamed at him, her smile so bright it almost rivaled the lights surrounding them. After quickly patting down her now slightly messy hair, she looked up at him expectantly.“Well?” she asked, unable to hide her excitement.Devon studied her for a moment before the corners of his lips lifted into a faint smile.“Had fun?”Her cheerful expression froze.“You knew?” she asked, her eyes widening in surprise. She tucked both hands behind her back and tilted her head innocently.Devon let out a quiet sigh and slipped his hands

  • The Wrong Mrs Russell    Chapter 28: Karina was kidnapped?

    It had been two weeks since Devon fell into a coma and another two weeks since he woke up and refused to speak to anyone.The moment replayed in his mind as vividly as if it had happened yesterday. He remembered every detail with painful clarity. The moment his father uttered the name Goodwill Orphanage, the memories he had buried for years came rushing back all at once. Faces. Voices. Fear. Pain. Things he had forgotten, things his mind had desperately tried to protect him from. He remembered forcing himself to stay calm, holding everything together by the thinnest thread as he walked out of the house. He had wanted to make it to the car. Just the car.But the moment he sat down, the weight of it all crashed into him.The truth.The realization that everything he thought he knew about himself had been a lie.And then darkness.Karina came by again as usual to feed him.Over the past two weeks, she had become the only person whose presence he could tolerate for more than a few minutes

  • The Wrong Mrs Russell    Chapter 27: His memories returned

    “Sit, please.” Mr. Russell gestured toward the couch. “Make yourself comfortable.”“Thank you, sir.” Karina sat down, offering him a warm smile.Mr. Russell laughed heartily, slapping his knee. “Just call me Dad.”Karina's cheeks warmed at his kindness, and she smiled back.“Thanks, Dad.”Devon still hadn't spoken since they arrived. He sat beside Karina, staring blankly at the space in front of him.A few moments later, his mother came downstairs. Mrs. Leila wrapped her shawl tighter around herself and rubbed her hands together for warmth. Judging by the look on her face, she was anything but pleased.“What do you need at this hour?” she complained as she sat beside her husband. “Do you know how late it is?”“It must be something important.” Mr. Russell patted her hand lightly. “Let's hear him out.”Mrs. Leila huffed and turned her gaze to Devon.Devon sighed and sat up straighter.He looked at his parents and opened his mouth to speak, but the words refused to come out.Karina notic

  • The Wrong Mrs Russell    Chapter 26: Devon Russell is a... Farmer?

    Devon watched with a faint smile as Karina moved effortlessly through the kitchen, preparing meals for customers.Ryan—the man from earlier, whom Karina had explained was both her junior and the person she had left in charge of the restaurant—worked beside her.No one needed to tell Devon that the way Ryan looked at her went beyond friendship.Even if Karina herself seemed completely oblivious to it.Leaning back in his chair, Devon took a better look around the restaurant.The place was small, but every table was occupied.As soon as one group of customers left, another quickly took their place.Business was clearly thriving.What surprised him more were the prices.For the quality of food being served, Karina was charging far less than he expected.Then again, considering the neighborhood, it made sense.Which also meant she was barely making a profit."I'm sorry," Karina said as she slipped on another pair of gloves and walked over to him. "We're unusually busy today, so we might e

    "So you're saying the box made him like this?" Dr. Harrison asked as he checked Devon's pulse. "All of a sudden?""Yes. That's exactly what happened," Karina answered, unconsciously pinching her palm in anxiety.Dr. Harrison exhaled slowly before taking a seat across from Devon."This is the worst state I've ever seen you in," he said gravely. "Did anything happen before this? Anything at all?"Devon opened his mouth to answer, but his eyes drifted toward Karina.He hesitated."I'm not going anywhere," Karina huffed, crossing her arms before plopping down into the chair beside him.An exasperated sigh escaped Devon.Dr. Harrison chuckled at their exchange."When I was kidnapped—""You were what?!" Dr. Harrison practically shouted, staring at him in disbelief."It's a long story."Devon rubbed his temple before continuing."Anyway, I was locked in a room. Everything about that place felt strangely familiar. The painting that arrived at the manor today was the same one I saw there."His

  • The Wrong Mrs Russell    Chapter 24: Fragments of the past

    Karina fluttered her eyes open and instinctively looked at the other side of the bed.Devon wasn't there.A flicker of worry rose in her chest. She quickly got out of bed and hurried downstairs.Her steps slowed when she spotted him seated at the dining table, eating breakfast as if nothing was wrong.Devon noticed her and gave a small nod.She smiled in return and made her way over, taking the seat beside him.Devon gestured for Patricia to bring Karina's breakfast. Patricia nodded and quietly placed the dishes on the table."Good morning," Karina greeted with a grin. She wanted to know whether Patricia still held a grudge against her or if she had softened even a little.Patricia paused for a moment, slightly startled as she set down the last dish.A faint smile appeared on her face."Good morning, Karina."Then, without another word, she turned and left.Karina's smile dimmed slightly, but she quickly brushed it off. At least Patricia was answering her greetings now.Across from he

    “I–I went to see a friend,” Karina stuttered, not daring to meet his gaze.Devon didn’t respond.His eyes drifted down to the flowers in her hands.“Lovely flowers.”Karina quickly hid them behind her back, cursing herself for forgetting she was carrying them.The expression on his face made it see

    “This is beautiful. I didn't think you would remember something like this,” Karina said softly, pointing at the flowers.“How would I forget the girl who fed me delicious dishes?” Seth chuckled, shifting slightly to make space for the waiter to place their drinks.“Tch.” Karina rolled her eyes and

    Karina's hand moved toward the lamp by the bed, lifting it to defend herself.“What are you trying to do?” Devon raised a brow as he switched on the lights. He took off his suit jacket and hung it up before sitting at the end of the bed.Karina breathed a sigh of relief and gently placed the lamp b

    A while earlier…Jade stepped out of the car, the contract clutched tightly in her hand.She still couldn't understand why Devon had suddenly asked for the contract to be reviewed.Everything had gone well last night.At least… she thought it had.The review had placed their company in a difficult
