Author’s POV

“What's going on here?” The store manager, Victoria asked with a stern look.

“Ma'am this customer came in here asking to browse around the luxurious section of the boutique. I asked her to leave, but she wouldn't, insisting that she wanted to see our most expensive clothes in the store.” Lydia replied, her voice wavering, unable to look at Victoria directly in the face.

“I was just about to call security to throw her out,” she quickly added, hoping to exonerate herself, but Victoria just ignored her with a wave of her hand.

Her eyes shifted slowly towards the woman across the floor and slowly widened in shock when she realized who it was.

“You!” The words escaped her lips.

Immediately, a smirk tugged at the corner of her lips, and her former furious gaze softened into a malicious look.

“Ma'am, what do you want to do?” Lydia's voice echoed softly, noticing the familiar look between the two.

“Don't worry about it,” Victoria said, walking confidently toward Hannah. “I'll ha

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   The Missing Millions

    SavannahThe first time I heard about the rumor, it was in the hallway outside the boardroom from two contractors whispering like it was a damning secret. One of them was looking over his shoulder like someone might drag him away for saying it too loudly. Still I didn’t stop walking, but the words traveled anyway. Twenty million dollars was gone… twenty million of cartel money, and you could bet they were furious… I overheard them talking about naming suspects, but I tried to brush it off. People in this city talked every hour, about everything. Half the time, it was nothing. But the look on their faces stuck to me, and by the time I reached the elevator, my heartbeat had already picked up. I pressed the button and inhaled slowly, trying not to let my mind spiral.Clint had warned me that things might get messy after the explosion. I just didn’t think messy meant twenty million dollars disappearing, or my name getting dragged into the middle of it.By noon, the whispers had grown leg

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   The Explosion

    JulianThere are moments when the universe quiets down just long enough for you to think, Maybe I’m getting a break. And then it hits you with something so ridiculous, so perfectly timed, you almost want to applaud the comedic writing of your own life.That was me, standing in the hallway outside Clint’s office after our not-so-friendly exchange, trying to steady my breathing while replaying the image of Savannah in the middle of an actual shootout. I had told myself I’d walk away calmly. Maybe clear my head. Maybe buy coffee and pretend I still understood what direction my life was going.But internally? I felt like someone had dropped a grenade in my chest. Not because Savannah couldn’t handle herself, she proved she could. But because she shouldn’t have had to. Not with bombs going off in her family company. Not with people chasing her through dark alleys because she got tangled in some federal agent’s sketchy operation. She deserved something else entirely, normalcy, calm, a life

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   The Warning

    ClintThe thing about being nonchalant just because your enemies were quiet is that they make people soft. They make you believe they might be settling, and probably even looking in the other direction. But I’ve been doing this job long enough to know that silence is usually before chaos.So when three days passed without an incident, I didn’t relax, I watched, listened, and when I reviewed the explosion site again, the one near Savannah’s company building, I realized something was off. It was opened so fast and precisely targeted, like someone left a message they assumed nobody would decode.By the fourth day, I couldn’t ignore the feeling anymore. I drove to the board headquarters and waited for Savannah in the hallway outside the elevator. She stepped out, dressed in a sharp blazer, looking composed in that rigid, controlled way she’d been carrying herself lately. She noticed me immediately and raised a brow.“You look like you’re about to tell me bad news,” she said.“Not bad,” I

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Quiet Victories

    SavannahI didn’t realize how much tension I had been carrying in my shoulders until I walked out of the boardroom earlier today. Being reinstated should have felt like a victory, or at least like some dramatic, triumphant moment. But instead, the victory felt quieter, almost like it didn’t exist. A small step forward rather than a loud celebration.Still, it was progress. And lately, that has been a language I’ve learned to appreciate.By afternoon, the sun had settled behind some thin clouds, casting a soft glow across my father’s office when I stepped in. He was sitting behind his desk, reviewing some documents, but the moment he looked up and saw me, his expression shifted into something gentler. Not overly warm, but steady, and grounded. The kind of look that made you stand up a little straighter without trying.“Savannah,” he said, gesturing for me to sit. “Come in.”I lowered myself into the seat across from him, bracing for questions, concerns, afraid he had heard about my rec

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Colleen’s Move 

    ColleenI never thought I’d see myself sitting back at my father’s dining table, sipping his expensive wine and throwing my feet on the table like I belonged there. But here I was. Early in the morning, I watched the sunlight slip through the tall windows like a golden temple. They thought inviting me back in meant they were in control again. But if only they knew just how far away from that they were.William sat at the head of the table, calm as ever, reading through some reports. He didn’t look up when I entered. It was always this silent performance with him whenever we were in the same room together, almost like a show of power. Uriel was already there. She watched me openly with no attempt at being subtle. She always does that thing where she tries to look composed, but every time, I can always see the tension in her jaw. It was amusing, come to think of it, that none of them knew if this was my trap or theirs.I liked it that way. A moment passed, and I took the seat across fro

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   The Cracks Show

    JulianI’d been keeping my distance from Savannah for days now. Not in some moody, cinematic way. Just… enough space so I wouldn’t say something I’d regret or keep pretending that I was okay with any of this, with who she was turning into. I just wanted enough space so I could watch her without her noticing how much she was changing. Or maybe she did notice and just didn’t care, and that bothered me more than anything else.It wasn’t that I didn’t support her. I did. More than I probably should. But the version of her I saw walking around lately wasn’t the girl I met when all this began. She was sharper now, colder around the edges, and moving like someone who didn’t have time to feel anything unless it served a purpose. And the irony? She didn’t even realize it.So yeah, I stayed away. Not because I was mad, but because I didn’t want to be dragged into the mess she was becoming. But Savannah is the type of person who refuses to let anything sit unresolved. So of course, the moment li
