Author’s POV

Hannah stepped back uncomfortably, trying not to raise any alarm, despite shaking in fear.

She took a deep breath, keeping her expression neutral, “Do I know you?”

“Not yet,” the man replied, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “But I do know you Hannah, and I know you’ve been looking for someone. I can help you find her.” He said vaguely.

Immediately Hannah heard those words, the air left her lungs. She hadn’t expected this, not tonight, especially from a stranger at her own party. However, she could not help but feel she had seen this man somewhere else before.

“How do you know my sister?” She asked quietly, glancing around to make sure she wasn’t noticed by Ethan.

The man chuckled softly, “That’s not important right now. What matters is that I can help you, but it won’t come cheap.” Hannah’s mind spun. The news all felt so shocking to her right now.

After years of hunting, strategizing, and making unlikely connections, she finally had a lead on Lily.

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Melordy’s Warning

    MelordyWatching Savannah cough her lungs out on the tiled floor shifted something in me. She looked shaken and wide-eyed, like she was trying to steady her hands while pretending she wasn’t. I’d seen people crumble, but this wasn’t that. She was scared, sure, but she still had that quiet, stubborn tension in her jaw. The type that didn’t fake guilt.I stood a few feet away from her the whole time, with my arms crossed, letting her breathe and for a moment I almost regretted my decision. But this had to be done. My bodyguards lingered by the doorway, waiting for my signal, but I didn’t need them anymore. I already had my answer. She wasn’t the thief. And she wasn’t dumb enough to pretend otherwise.After a while, I let out a small breath and nudged my shoe against a puddle near her knee. “Get up,” I said, not bothering to soften my voice. She pushed herself up, trembling a little as the water dripped from her hair onto her shirt, darkening the fabric. Her eyes snapped up to mine, ful

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Savannah’s Ambush

    ClintI had rehearsed what I needed to say to Savannah a dozen times before I actually called her. None of the versions sounded good. None sounded reassuring enough. But I didn’t have the luxury of perfect lines anymore. Melordy had given me an order, and disobeying her wasn’t an option, not without consequences that were far worse than anything Savannah or I could imagine.When Savannah stepped into my office that evening, it was clear she already sensed trouble. The door hadn’t even closed before she asked, “What happened?”I forced my expression to remain steady trying not to make her terrified even when she needed to be. “Melordy wants to see you tomorrow at noon.” I said.Her face drained of color when she heard that. “For what?”“She just wants clarity,” I said, choosing my words carefully. “She’s sorting through inconsistencies, and she wants to verify who had access to the financial files.” I stepped closer and tried to reassure her. “She’s not coming for you.”Savannah let ou

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Under Pressure

    ClintMelordy had already begun walking toward the exit, when she suddenly stopped and turned back slowly, as if something had just stitched itself together in her mind. I felt her eyes settle on me before she even faced me fully.She hesitated for a moment but then walked back into the room with a different energy this time, more focused, more suspicious, and sharper in that way that made people extremely nervous around her. “Clint,” she said, her voice low but heavy, “something isn’t adding up.”I stayed seated, forcing myself to breathe evenly. “What do you mean?”She took the chair opposite mine again, crossing her legs neatly. “Earlier, when we discussed Savannah’s access, you seemed… hesitant.” Her eyes narrowed. “Almost protective.”“She’s not built for this kind of scrutiny,” I replied carefully. “I just don’t want you to jump to conclusions based on rumors.”“That’s the thing,” Melordy said, leaning forward. “You’re the one who brought up the rumors. I never said she was a s

    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
