Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Smoke and Mirrors
SavannahThe coffee shops on Maple always felt quieter in the mornings. It is why I often liked this place. The lighting and atmosphere here felt relieving, like I could shed all my burdens away if only for a moment. The people here were calm. They moved like they had purpose but not urgency. I liked how calming everything was here. It let me think without the city crowding in.I had my laptop open and a notebook beside my cup. But I wasn’t really working. I was pretending to. My fingers tapped the table while my mind ran through names and dates, and maps. Colleen’s files were still in my jacket from the warehouse. I kept looking at them like they were a fable I hadn’t decided to take seriously yet.But then the doorbells chimed, and he walked in. As much as I hated his guts, he did always know how to make an entrance. He was never loud, nor flashy. He just moved through the room with that easy confidence, and when he spotted me, he smiled, and before I could stand up, he was sliding
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife The Cost of Secrets
JulianSavannah, Colleen, and I had agreed to meet at the old warehouse for discreet reasons. That night felt heavier than usual. The air inside was thick with dust and silence, the kind that settled deep in your chest and made every breath feel heavy.Savannah sat across the table from me, with her head bent over a map we’d been studying for the past hour. At the same time, Colleen stood nearby, leaning casually against a pillar with a perpetual air of amusement he always carried, like everything we said was just part of some game he’d already won.But it wasn’t Colleen who had my attention tonight. It was Savannah. I could see she wasn’t her usual self. Her eyes darted to the door now and then, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of a folded note she’d tucked halfway beneath her notebook. I noticed it the moment we started, the way she kept her hand close to it, like it was something fragile she couldn’t risk losing.I tried not to stare, but I couldn’t help it. Something was off.“
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife The Return of the Stranger
SavannahOkay, check this out. Have you ever had one of those days when everything feels just a little off? Like you woke up fine, but the world around you had shifted half an inch, and nothing quite fit anymore?That’s what the morning felt like. After that night in the warehouse, I couldn’t shake the unease that had settled in my chest. Colleen’s smug grin still played in my head, and his half-truths circled like ghosts I couldn’t name. And Julian…well, he’d gone quiet again. He was there, but not really there, and I could see he was lost somewhere behind those calm eyes that never quite gave anything away.I needed air. I needed space to think. That much was clear, so I slipped out that afternoon and went to a café near the edge of downtown. It was one of those cozy spots that always smelled like cinnamon and rain-soaked pavement, and it was quickly becoming my favorite spot. The chatter was soft, the clinking of cups rhythmic, and for a moment, it felt almost normal. Almost.I sat
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife The Crack
SavannahHave you ever gotten that feeling that something’s wrong before it even starts? Like the air in the room changes, and you can’t quite tell why. That’s what it felt like that night.We were supposed to meet in this old warehouse on the edge of town, a place that looked like it hadn’t seen daylight in years. I remember the crunch of gravel under my boots, and that little knot in my stomach that wouldn’t go away.Julian was already there when I walked in. He looked… off. Tired and tense and his gaze fixed on the floor until he heard me step closer.“You made it,” he said quietly, though his voice lacked its usual calm.“Barely,” I replied, trying to smile. “This place gives me bad vibes.”Before he could respond, Colleen stepped out from behind a metal pillar. He looked freshly pressed and had his shirt unbuttoned just enough to look careless but expensive, and his hair neatly styled.“Bad vibes usually mean you’re getting close to something real,” he said, smirking.“Or somethi

JulianI stared at my phone for what felt like hours, and slowly the screen dimmed, then brightened, and then dimmed again. I felt tired, uncertain, but somehow I felt resolved.There was only one other conversation I needed to have. And so I opened my contacts and scrolled down until I reached my dad’s contact. My thumb hovered over it and trembled slightly. It wasn’t fear of what he’d say that shook me; I’d long stopped hoping for his approval. It was knowing that once I made this call, there’d be no going back.Still, I pressed dial.The line rang twice before his voice came through, sharp and composed.“Julian.”Just hearing him say my name sent a jolt down my spine. There was always something about his tone. It was measured, heavy, the kind that made you straighten without realizing it.“Hey, Dad,” I said, trying to sound calm. “We need to talk.”A brief pause followed, then I heard that low exhale I’d grown up with. The kind that came right before a lecture.“Finally,” he said.
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Stranger at the Door
SavannahMy meeting with Julian’s new intel had me unraveled. I couldn’t actually believe that he brought someone that posed that much risk, that much danger to what we were doing and still somehow convinced me to work with Colleen. I had been pacing for almost an hour since I got back home. The room was quiet, except for the sound of my own footsteps brushing against the floor. The longer I thought about it, the heavier my chest felt.Julian’s words kept circling in my head, Colleen Benedict. I still couldn’t believe that’s who he had gone to. That he’d actually brought one of them in, one of the Benedicts. It wasn’t just reckless, it was dangerous. And for all the confidence Julian had in him, I couldn’t shake the image of Colleen’s smirk. It lingered in a way that made me feel that he already knew too much.I suddenly stopped pacing and pressed my palms to the edge of the counter, trying to steady my breathing. The apartment felt too small, too still, and I started feeling overwhel
