Maxwell had spent years trying to win her trust after finding her injured and without memories.
But now? The man standing in front of her suddenly felt like a stranger. "I wasn't asking," Maxwell said coldly. "I am their father, and I decide what happens next."
Then louder. "Now do as you're told." Several people nearby turned to look at them. Ruby stared at him in complete shock. This was the first time he had ever yelled at her. And the anger in his eyes frightened her deeply.
Her heart started pounding. Who was this man? The sweet, kind man she thought she knew suddenly felt like an act. A mask slowly slipping off.
"You don't get to yell at me," Ruby shot back, finally finding her voice again. She took a step away from him.
"And besides, you are not—" The words almost escaped. You are not their father. You are not my husband. But she stopped herself just in time. Because if Maxwell realized she remembered something. What would he do?
