Unknown Husband

Miss Anderson, you're already married. You cannot marry again. The shocked city clerk said flatly as he slid a paper towards Ruby. Here's your marriage certificate, so we cannot register you again. Ruby blinked, shocked. I'm sorry. What did you just say? You're married? He snapped, waving to the couple behind her. You can't register for a second marriage until you divorce your first husband. Now, please step out of the line. I've got others waiting. Ruby Anderson stumbled out of the line, the certificate trembling in her hand. The guy she'd hired for the day, her fake groom. Scratched the back of his neck. Miss Anderson, you already have a husband. Why did you waste my time and your money? She couldn't speak. She couldn't breathe. She just stared at the damned document like it might explode. Jeez, you're weird. Deposits, non-refundable, by the way. He huffed. Then walked. Away. Ruby pressed her lips together, her head still spinning. How the hell am I married without knowing?

Husband from the sky

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 she would sabotage the life she'd built with her own hands. When Ruby finally went upstairs, she saw Isabel lounging on the sofa like a queen in a lavish gown, sifting through her jewelry. In contrast, Ruby was dressed simply in her old jeans and a hoodie. But even then, her beauty was unrivaled. Isabel's eyes narrowed, but she forced out a smile. Ruby, what are you doing here? She got married today. Sheila jumped in before Ruby could even open her mouth. Isabel looked surprised. So fast. Who's the guy? Is he better than Carter? Sheila scoffed. As if you couldn't find anyone in New York with a better family name than Carter. Honestly, Izzie. How could someone like Ruby find a decent

Enter into the Knight

With Ruby lost in her own thought,"Shelia was taking her own trip down her memory. Had that wretched Natalia not appeared over twenty years ago. I would have been Warren's bride. Sheila reflected sourly. For two decades, she had lived with a secret only she knew. Her hatred for Natalia had run so deep that when she was about to give birth, Sheila deliberately induced her own labor to match and got the baby swapped. She'd spent her life as the other woman, but she refused to let her own daughter be branded the illegitimate one. So she changed their fates. Her child got the name, the status, the future. And Natalia's child, cast aside, forgotten, a girl no one cared about. As she looked at Isabel's reflection in the mirror, dripping in diamonds, dressed in couture, the resentment in her heart faded, replaced with pride. At least Izzie got the life I never did. She's about to have a gorgeous wedding, one Natalia is paying for. And Ruby. Sheila's lips curled slightly. Po

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 voice that pulled you in with its refined charm, even when he was telling you to get lost. Ruby sensed something was off. You really don't recognize me? She asked cautiously. Owen looked down at her with an indifferent expression and scoffed. Why should I? Ever since he'd set foot in the Anderson house, he'd felt a pair of eyes on him. It wasn't the usual ogling that he was used to. This young woman was just so direct. He had found himself glancing her way more than once. She was undoubtedly beautiful, with almond-shaped eyes and a small mole near the corner of one eye that somehow made her even more alluring. He had noticed her lurking in the shadows from the very start, and even thoug

Who Knows Dr.N

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. Absolutely. Even if they do come close, who would ever suspect that Dr. N, the brilliant mind behind solving the hydrogen fuel problem, is merely a sweet-faced, fresh college graduate? Ruby rolled her eyes over the sarcastic remark. But if her team wasn't panicked, then things were still under control. She trusted them. She knew she had an exceptional group backing her. His reassurance eased the fear twisting in her stomach. Until Miles dropped another bomb. By the way, we've acquired information on Owen Knight. Hearing his name, Ruby froze. Tell me everything. You know, the rumor mill says he's ruthless, stone-cold, which is why the family shipped him overseas when he was young. Everyone

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 her scooter and headed over. The second she walked into Professor Miller's office, she saw them. Isabel and Sheila. Ruby's eyes narrowed. She and Isabel both went to Hudson University, the best school in the state. Isabel had gotten in with a full-ride scholarship. Ruby, on the other hand, had already started a company under her other identity, one she couldn't afford to run from a distance. Besides, she knew better than to outshine Isabel, so she'd intentionally tanked her scores j

Chapter 7

Isabel's claim of knowing Dr. N then spiraled in Ruby's head. She couldn't even process it. Had she accidentally signed off something without reading? Made some bizarre contract mistake? But before she could dig deeper into the panic rising in her chest, Professor Miller's sharp gasp snapped her out of it. You actually know Dr. N? He asked curiously. Isabel gave a faint smile. You could say it was fate. My mother sponsored Dr. N's education a long time ago. After Dr. N became successful, he tracked my family down and said my mother was a lifesaver. He's been providing technical support for our family's businesses for years, so he'd pretty much do anything I ask. Ruby raised an eyebrow. That was all she needed to know. It was a completely cooked-up story. Growing up in the Anderson family, she had only survived because of Natalia's quiet care. She owed everything to that woman when her own mother treated her like garbage. That was why, once Ruby had the skills,

Chapter 8

It was time for action. Ruby straightened herself and tugged at the hem of her delivery uniform. She had arrived at the Knight Tower. An iconic Manhattan skyscraper where the corporation's headquarters was located. Clutching a package, she strode confidently up to the front desk. I have a delivery for Mr. Knight. It requires his personal signature. All right, just a moment. The receptionist nodded. She made a quick call to the executive secretary's office before finally buzzing her up. Ruby took the private elevator straight to the eighty-eighth floor. The view from here was breathtaking. Owen Knight was truly on top of the world in every sense. The entire executive secretariat, easily over a hundred people. Worked on this one floor, all of them devoted exclusively to Owen. An assistant met her at the elevator and escorted her toward the CEO's office. As she knocked, a smooth, unhurried voice answered from inside. Enter. Ruby let out a quiet breath. Just as she thought sh

Chapter 9

Oh gosh, are you lost again?Ruby gasped, trying to make sense of it all.But the old woman breezed right past her and marched upstairs.Straight into Ruby's apartment, as if she lived there.In Ruby's cozy apartment, the old lady regally sat at the dining table and polished off a third glass of water.You were really thirsty, huh? Ruby mused.Oh, you have no idea.I was going crazy looking for you.Ruby stood up, her voice firm.Ma'am, I'm really not the person you're looking for.You've got me mixed up with someone else.Darling, I know exactly who you are.The old woman insisted, lifting her cup and downing another glass.Ruby knew it was pointless to argue.She just pulled out her phone and dialed the same number from before.It barely rang once before someone picked up.Hello.The man's voice was deep and velvety, faintly familiar.Before Ruby could get a word out, the old lady snatched the phone right out of her hand.Across town, Owen was coordinating a search team.His express

Chapter 10

At the Anderson family estate, Isabel sat on the living room sofa, fat tears running down her face. The red shape of a handprint was still stark against her swollen cheek. Sheila's voice turned into a snarl when she looked at her darling daughter's condition. Izzie, that little brat only attacked you because she's jealous. You're marrying into the Knight family. Stop crying. When your father gets home, I'll have him teach her a lesson. Natalia made her way slowly down the stairs, her frail body shaking with each deep cough. Her voice was weak, but her words were firm. Ruby isn't like that. You must have done something to provoke her. Isabel clenched her fists and lowered her head. She hated it when Natalia spoke up for Ruby. Her voice was thick with hurt. You're right, Mom. It's my fault. I never should have accepted Carter's proposal. Ruby obviously still has feelings for him. That must be why she went after Mr. Owen. Maybe she wanted to see if Carter's uncle could reun
