Author’s POV

As Ethan walked away, Hannah was still conflicted, wondering what to do about the mysterious man’s invitation.

A shiver of frustration and anxiety ran down her spine as she scanned the hall, looking for where the man could have gone.

However, Hannah quickly noticed a group of girls approaching her and from the looks on their faces, she could tell that they meant trouble.

“So you’re Ethan’s latest project,” a girl in a sequin green dress mocked as they approached Hannah.

“Look at her, she has no idea what she is in for. Take it from us, darling, today is going to be the last time you’re really happy.” Another girl chimed in, and they broke out laughing.

Hannah opened her mouth to speak, but just as quickly stopped. She did not know who these girls were but she decided that they were not worth her time.

“Yeah, Ethan’s going to have his fun with this one, don’t you think so Emily?” The third girl, Melinda said, staring at Hannah directly.

She seemed like the leader of the gr

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Contaminated Product

    ClintMelordy called me early the next morning, and as soon as I picked up, her voice was sharp in that way that meant she had found something she didn’t like. I knew before she even said the words asking to meet with me that this wasn’t going to be a routine meeting. She didn’t waste time on pleasantries; she told me to come to the warehouse office immediately. The tone alone was enough to tell me she wasn’t finished investigating whatever anomaly she had found.I got there in under twenty minutes, and she was already seated at the table, with some files laid open, a stack of reports organized in a way that told me she had been awake long before dawn. Her two assistants stood at the wall behind her, silent and stiff, watching me like I was next on their hit list.She didn’t look up when I walked in. Instead, she pushed a sealed bag across the table toward me. I hesitated for a moment before I reached for it and opened it. Inside was a small sample of powder, the same kind we’d been e

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Melordy Arrives

    ClintFor as long as I’ve worked for the cartel, one thing was for sure, Melordy always traveled quietly, but her presence never landed softly. Even before her car pulled up to the warehouse, I could feel the shift in the air when I heard that she was coming to town. She had asked to meet me as soon as she arrived in the city at my office.I waited anxiously the whole day, and my nerves felt like they were on fire. This was not another routine visit, this was an investigation and I was afraid of what she might find.By the time she stepped out in front of my building, dressed in a fitted charcoal suit and walking like she owned every inch of concrete beneath her, I already knew this was trouble. Two assistants followed behind her, both younger and stiff with the kind of nervousness that only comes when you work under someone who doesn’t forgive mistakes. She barely acknowledged them as she reached me.“Clint.” Her voice was smooth and clipped.“Melordy.” I kept my expression neutral

  • 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
