All Chapters of The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Ruby flipped through the medical file of Ciara’s mother, a wicked smile playing on her lips as she sat on the comfortable couch in the rented apartment in Ciara’s hometown.Colt and Linda were also present, as well as Hayes and Martin.“The little wench thought she was smatter,” Ruby said. “How dare she begin to dig up matters that have been buried already?” Linda looked at Ruby with pride. She could not be more proud of her mother than she was now. Ruby was fearless and fierce, and she handled issues with vigor. The moment Colt had received a call from Martin that Ciara was snooping around, she had swung right into action, and also, in the next couple of hours, they had all arrived at the hometown. According to Ruby, in taking care of Ciara, they needed to be closely within range to avoid matters running out of control.But when Linda turned and looked at Hayes and Martin where they stood before them, she noticed that Martin was shaking and sweating.“What is wrong with you?” Linda

“That cannot be true!” Ciara cried out. She could not believe her ears. She was here barely twenty-four hours ago, and she was certain that Lottie had been the one who had attended to her, so what the heck was she saying about not knowing Ciara?“I don’t want a scene here,” Lottie said. She was struggling to keep her voice from trembling. “Perhaps there was another receptionist on duty when she came here?” Samuel asked. He was growing impatient as the seconds ticked by.“No sir, I am the only receptionist who has been working here all week,” Lottie said.“But it cannot be true that you do not recognize me, Lottie!” Ciara was confused and perplexed, and she deliberately mentioned her name so that she would know. How is it possible that a hotel, even though it wasn’t a luxurious one, would hire someone with dementia? Lottie’s gaze darted sideways again. Something was making her agitated, and now that she had denied Ciara, she could see that Lottie was a bit uncomfortable and restless.

Ruby had returned after taking the call and hearing Ciara’s frantic cry over the phone about her mother’s failing health and she had rushed Ciara’s mother to the medical house in Ciara’s hometown.“Why not a hospital?” Ciara had summoned courage and challenged Ruby when they had arrived at the medical house. With the worsened condition of her mother, she had thought that Ruby would take her mother to a big hospital where she would get better treatment and bounce back to life in no time. Ciara had been so worried about her mother’s health that what she saw on their living room table had almost evaded her.Before Ruby arrived at their house, that glass of liquid hadn’t been there at all, which then made Ciara think that that could be the reason why her mother’s health failed drastically. Granted, her mother had been sick, but she was still going about her daily activities, but after that visit on that particular day, she had just completely almost turned into a vegetable.“This is where

Ciara had fallen on the floor and cried bitterly after Ruby had said those harsh words to her. She had rolled and cried and cried until she became weak and tired. “I still have a mother,” Ciara had kept telling herself hoping that as she did, some magic would transport her to her mother’s bedside that very minute, but of course, nothing like that happened.Ciara had continued to cry and wish for her mother. She was in a new house that felt like she was in hell. She could not still understand why Ruby had forcefully uprooted her from her mother’s side all the way here when she had known that deep down, she hadn’t even remotely liked Ciara or even wanted her to live in her house.What had Ruby meant by Ciara did not have a mother anymore? Before they left the medical house, her mother had definitely been weak and very sick, but she had been alive, because Ciara had spoken to her before they had left, and if Ruby had gotten a call from the doctor that her mother had died after they had l

Ciara took some seconds to wipe her red puffy eyes and gather herself. She had spent the entire ride remembering what she should have kept buried deep inside, but how could she? Ciara had known then that something was off, but now, she knew without a doubt that Ruby Luscious definitely had something to with her mother’s condition and all that Ciara had been through ever since, but unless she was able to come out with proof, she could not say a word about it otherwise it would be termed false accusation.But how would she ever be able to when forces just seemed to be blocking her every move?Samuel tapped at the car window where Ciara sat impatiently. From the tinted glass, she could see that he was very upset and impatient. What did Samuel mean by crying would not save her? Did he have intentions of dumping her at the station and leaving? He already thought she was guilty of an affair with Johnway and then his murder. He hadn’t interrupted Ciara’s cry all through the ride back to the
