I Woke Up Married To A Stranger Hockey Prince

Jasmine Writes

I woke up married to a stranger. Not just any stranger. Garrick Sinclair-the cold, ruthless captain of the Chicago Mustangs, the man every woman in Chicago dreamed of and every sensible woman stayed away from. I didn't remember marrying him. I didn't even remember sleeping with him. Yet there was a diamond ring on my finger, a marriage certificate beside the bed, and Garrick looking at me like I was nothing more than another gold digger trying to get her hands on his money. He offered me cash to disappear. I wanted nothing from him except the truth. But then his adoptive father died, leaving behind a shocking condition for Garrick's inheritance: He had to be married. Suddenly, the marriage neither of us remembered became the only thing protecting his family's billion-dollar empire. Then my mother was murdered. I came home to find her dead among the roses she loved, only to wake up in a police station as the prime suspect. My home was a crime scene. My mother was gone. And I had nowhere left to turn. Except the husband who had once wanted me gone. Garrick got me out of jail and pulled me into his world. But the closer we became, the stranger everything felt. Whenever he touched me, he remembered things he had forgotten. A locked room. A terrified little boy. A girl in a pink dress. And a promise made in the dark. I thought my marriage to Garrick was the worst mistake of my life. Now I'm starting to wonder if it was the one thing that was never a mistake at all. Because I may not be a stranger to Garrick Sinclair. I may be the missing piece of his darkest memory. And someone has already killed once to make sure we never remember the truth.

District Collector Office

Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Every single person working in the office was on their toes, trying to arrange each and every single thing perfectly as the District Collector of Jodhpur district will be arriving with the MLA in almost 15 minutes.

The meeting will be held between the executive officer and a part of state legislature with the objective of opening of 20 schools in district for the girl child.

Jodhpur even though is a developed city but the villages under this district are still backward and the rate of the education for girls is very low.

So, to improve the literacy rate of the girls in district this meeting was held.

At exact 10:15, a beautiful woman entered the office accompained by a 52 year old politician decked in white kurta-payjama.

"Sir, Welcome to DC's office." The woman greeted professionally.

"Thank you, Ms. Kashyap."

"Sir, thanks to you for taking out time to come for this meeting."

"Its a noble cause, Ms. Kashyap, so I have to come."

"Absolutely Sir, your social works are indeed prominent and will definitely help you in fetching the votes for the upcoming elections."

"You can count votes as additional benefit of my passion of helping people."

"Yes sir, so can we start our discussion?"

"Let's do this." Replied the MLA.

After a detailed discussion of 2 hours, the location, budget and infrastructure was decided.

The woman escorted the politician out and thanked him profusely for his contribution in the task.

Sanjana's POV:

"Sanjana, your mother is trying to call you from past 20 minutes." My assistant informed me.

"Thanks Jyoti, I will call her after completing the paper work, it will take half an hour max."

"Ma'am." With that she left.

I started doing the paperwork but is interrupted by Jyoti.

"Jyoti, my mother? " I questioned even after knowing the answer. My persistent mother does not have patience.

"Yes, she is on the line." She handed me phone while replying to my question.

"Thank you, Jyoti you can go on your lunch break."

With that she was out.

"Good Afternoon Mumma, how are you?" I greeted my sweet mum. She, my dad, my brother, his wife and my elder sister lives in Delhi.

My father, brother and my bhabhi work in MNCs while my elder sister is completing her masters. My mother is a school teacher. I am youngest in the family and unmarried among us three.

My brother - Siddhanket is 30 and married to his wife- Kavya for almost 5 years. My sister Shivika is studying to be a professor and is married to Nandesh Sharma who is a doctor by profession and is a resident of Chandigarh. My sister is staying in Delhi for completing her education.

"I am trying to reach you for an hour but what I can do when my daughter does not have time for me?" My mother taunted me.

"Mama, I am sorry. I was in an important meeting with M.L.A. "

"I see. When are you coming home?" She asked me.

"It depends. As soon as my work will be finished I will board the flight. You just handle Kavya."

"I understand, don't worry I will talk to Kavya. Y finish your work."

We bid our byes and with that I hanged up the phone. I called Jyoti in my office and instructed her to complete all the work by today only.

Fortunately, Iwas finished by 8:00 in the evening and it was all thanks to my colleagues for extra hours they put in.

Now, I will be able to catch the morning flight and attend Kavya's baby shower. Yes, she is pregnant and soon there will be an addition of new member in our family.
