Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Nicolas
Author’s POV“You have no idea what you are stepping into, do you?” Dillon said, his voice low and taunting.Nonetheless, the man did not flinch, “Let her go.” He said, moving closer.Dillon glanced at the other man still holding Hannah and shifted his gaze around seeing they were overpowered. He shrugged as if it were all a game,“Do it.” He said defeatedly.The rest of his men exchanged puzzled gazes. They’d been with the man, working under him for a long time, and never had they seen Dillon back away from a fight.“Did you not hear me?” Dillon sneered, shooting a cold gaze at the man still holding Hannah.Slowly, the man’s grip on Hannah’s arm loosened, and she stumbled forward, instinctively running towards the men in black, her legs shaky but determined.As she reached them, the man with the jet-black hair grabbed her arm gently, shielding her from Dillon and his men.He gestured to one of his men and quickly, they rushed towards him and took Hannah to one of their trucks, guardi

Author’s POVHannah’s breath caught in her throat as Nicolas’ words sank in, in confusion. If he didn’t save her, then who did and why? She shifted her gaze away, looking around and scratching her head in confusion. She glanced back at him, searching his face for answers. However, seeing how calm he was made her nerves flare even more.“You didn’t save me?” Hannah asked with a raised brow.“Then why are you here? What is this?” Hannah asked, a sudden fear creeping up her bones.She couldn’t trust anyone, least of all, anyone with a huge status as the Cranes.Nicolas’ expression remained composed, although there was a flicker of emotion in his eyes, a look of understanding. He raised his hands, approaching Hannah cautiously,“It’s okay Ms. Young, you don’t have to be afraid anymore. You’re safe with us.” He said assuredly.Hannah shot him a cautious yet softened gaze as Nicolas continued, “I didn’t save you,” he repeated, his tone gentler, “because it wasn’t an act of rescue, it was a

Author’s POVNicolas’ expression hardened as he heard this. Immediately a frown appeared on his face, “Freedom?” He recoiled and scoffed.“You think freedom is an option right now Hannah?”“Ethan’s playing a bigger game than you realize. And whether you like it or not, you’re in the middle of it. Wolfe is just one piece of the puzzle.”Hannah’s expression sank defeatedly. Her eyes darted to the direction where Dillon and his men had disappeared, and she couldn’t deny the danger that Alfred Wolfe posed. However, being under Ethan’s control felt no better.“What does Ethan really want?” Hannah asked, her voice breaking with desperation. “Why won’t he just let me go? Why have I done to him to deserve all this?”A brief silence escaped between them. Nicolas hesitated for some moments, his face filled with reluctance, “There are things that Ethan hasn’t told you or wants you to know.”“What things?” Hannah recoiled instantly. “What does he want from me?”Nicolas hesitated his face tight w

Author’s POVHannah stared at the message, her heart pounding in her chest. “I know where Lily is.” Those words shattered everything around her. Her hand shook as she held the phone. It couldn’t be real, could it? After all this time, someone finally knew where her sister was. The one person who ruined her life. The one that she had been trying to forget, but couldn’t. Nicolas noticed her change in expression. His eyes narrowed, “What’s wrong?” He asked, his tone laced with suspicion. Immediately, Hannah’s mind raced, but she couldn’t tell him, not yet. If Nicolas found out someone knew where Lily was, he would certainly tell it to Ethan and things could spiral out of control faster than she could handle. But she needed answers. She needed revenge. “Nothing,” Hannah said quickly, slipping her phone back into her pocket slowly.“Just a reminder about something.”Nicolas didn’t seem to buy it, but before he could say anything, the two men from the SUV reached them. They looked as col
Last Updated : 2024-10-12Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Hannah’s Terms
Author’s POVUpon hearing this, Hannah wanted to roll her eyes in disgust but fought back the urge to. She wanted to keep herself composed, but could not hold back the rage brewing in her, “Safe? You think you are keeping me safe?”“You practically had me kidnapped.”Seeing her resentment, Ethan's lips curled into a cold smirk. “You should be thanking me. I saved you.”“You were walking into a trap with Wolfe. His right-hand man, Dillon would have handed you over to Wolfe without hesitation. I ensured you stayed out of harm’s way and this is the thanks I get?” Ethan said and scoffed dryly. “Out of harm’s way? Or under your control?” Hannah shot back irritably. She stepped a bit closer, her eyes scanning around the room. She was driven to make this marriage work, but she also knew if she was to be Ethan’s wife and have any power in this relationship, she would have to stand up slowly against her new husband and demand more respect for herself.“You don’t care about my safety, Ethan.

Author’s POV“Conditions?” Ethan asked, a little surprised, his eyes narrowing at Hannah’s boldness. He could not help but wonder where her sudden boldness had come from. He had expected her to bend, to follow his lead, not make demands of her own. This was absurd. Hannah seemed not as weak or easily controlled as he thought.Staring at her now, his fingers itch in irritation. He was used to being in charge, having the final say in everything, whether in his personal life or business-related, but here Hannah was, his new wife, standing her ground, and it incensed him.Hannah folded her arms with a stern look seeing how nonchalant he seemed about her request. “You’re hardly in a position to make demands, Hannah,” Ethan said with a low intimidating growl.At this moment, Hannah’s heart was pounding, but she wouldn’t let him see her fear. She knew if she was going to survive in Ethan’s world and not have him disregard her as just some girl he’s married to, she’d have to play her cards c

Author’s POV“There’s one more thing,” Hannah said.Ethan’s smirk quickly faded away. “What now?” He asked.“If I’m marrying you, I’m going to need protection and access to your family’s resources.”Ethan almost busted in laughter as he heard her words.“What do you think this is? That you’re now a part of the family just because you’re marrying into it.” Ethan said and scoffed dryly.“That’s the deal, Ethan. Either you give me access to what I want or you can go find a wife somewhere else.” Hannah said sternly.Ethan bit his lip in agitation, sighed heavily, and gave in.“Alright then. You can have it.” Ethan said hesitantly.Hannah smiled victoriously, picked up the pen and as she tried to sign, her heart pounded in her chest. She glanced at Ethan one last time, his eyes hard and cold, waiting for her to comply, as if his life depended on it.Hannah heaved a tired sigh and in that moment, she muttered silently, “I will find you Lily, no matter what. I will make you pay for what you

Author’s POVHannah’s steps quickened as she moved down the long corridor, and then suddenly stopped, realizing she didn’t know where she was going.Ethan had instructed her to stay in his mansion tonight and then have her things packed the next day, to ensure her safety.Much against her will, she finally gave in to his instruction, but now she realized she didn’t even know which room she was supposed to stay.“Let me show you to your room,” Reginald said,- approaching her with slow measured steps.He stopped in front of Hannah and a warm smile appeared on his face,“This way, Ms. Young.” He said and walked away, leading her to her room.Hannah heaved a tired sigh and then followed him.Her heart was still pounding in her chest as she followed him, the words from the mysterious text still echoing in her mind. “Midnight, the old pier. Come alone.”Hannah was unsettled. All she wanted was to get to her room and then sneak out before midnight, but with Ethan’s suspicions and watchful ey

Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife A Life Worth Fighting For
The ocean stretched endlessly before them, its deep blue waters shimmering under the afternoon sun. The waves crashed rhythmically against the shore, filling the air with the scent of salt and freedom. The soft hum of distant laughter, the occasional cry of a seagull, and the warmth of the sand beneath his feet made Ethan feel something he hadn’t in a long time—at peace.He lay back in his beach chair, sunglasses shielding his eyes as he took in the scene before him. Hannah and Lily were walking along the shoreline, their bare feet sinking into the wet sand with each step. Hannah’s laughter carried over the breeze, light and unguarded.Ethan couldn’t stop staring at her. It had been years since he’d seen her this carefree. No worries, no burdens—just pure, unfiltered joy.Lucian, lounging beside him, sipped his drink and smirked. “Didn’t think you were the vacation type.”Ethan chuckled, shaking his head. “Didn’t think I’d get a second chance at this kind of peace.”Lucian nodded slow
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Time To Live
The evening air carried the soft scent of roses and freshly cut grass as the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting a golden glow over the garden. Strings of twinkling lights hung above, flickering gently in the breeze. It was simple, intimate—exactly what they needed.Ethan adjusted the cuff of his suit, taking a deep breath. He never thought he’d be standing here again, vowing himself to Hannah, not because they had to, but because they chose to.Lucian clapped a hand on his shoulder. “Nervous?”Ethan scoffed. “Since when do I get nervous?”Lucian smirked. “You’re literally sweating.”Ethan wiped his palms against his pants, rolling his eyes. “It’s just hot out.”Lucian chuckled. “Sure it is.”But the truth was, Ethan was nervous—not because he doubted what he was about to do, but because of how much it meant.He glanced around. The guest list was small, just their closest friends and family. Noah stood in the corner, ever the watchful guardian. Lily adjusted Hannah’s bouquet, whisper
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife A New Beginning
Ethan sat across from Hannah in their bedroom, the quiet between them stretching long and heavy, filled with everything they hadn’t yet said. The past few days had been a storm—one they had barely made it through. And yet, in this moment, it wasn’t the past battles that scared Ethan the most. It was this. Sitting here, looking at Hannah, knowing he had nearly lost her in more ways than one.Hannah sat on the edge of the bed, her hands clasped together in her lap. There was no anger in her eyes, but there was something else—something deeper. A sadness. A weariness. And maybe, just maybe, a little hope.Ethan exhaled slowly, rubbing his hands together as if that would ease the tension in his chest. “I should’ve told you everything from the beginning,” he admitted, his voice quiet but firm. “I thought keeping things from you would protect you, but all it did was push you away. I was scared of losing you.”Hannah sighed, running a hand through her hair. “Ethan, I knew you had secrets. I c
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife The Escape
The explosion was deafening. A wave of heat and force slammed into Ethan, knocking him off balance as shards of debris flew through the air. The ground beneath him trembled. Smoke curled into the night sky, filling his lungs with the acrid scent of burning metal and dust.Ethan coughed, trying to steady himself as his vision swam. He turned his head and saw Anderson slumped beside him, barely conscious, his breathing shallow.A few feet away, the man in the tailored suit—his enemy, his nightmare—stumbled back from the force of the blast. But even through the chaos, he recovered quickly, brushing the dust off his expensive jacket. A smirk tugged at his lips, as if none of this fazed him.Lucian, always the fastest to react, grabbed Ethan’s arm. His grip was firm, urgent. “Move!”Ethan didn’t waste time. He wrapped an arm around Anderson and hoisted him up, supporting most of his weight. Anderson groaned in pain, but he didn’t resist.Flames crackled from the black SUVs parked nearby. T
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Who Did This To You
A thick silence fell over the room. Ethan’s breath hitched in his throat, his pulse thundering as Anderson’s words settled in. “You should have left things alone.” What did he even mean by that? Ethan wondered.Lucian exchanged a glance with Ethan, his body shifting uncomfortably. He took a step toward the door, his hand instinctively reaching for the gun at his waist. Something was wrong. Very wrong.Ethan turned back to Anderson, whose face was pale, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. His breathing was ragged, his chest rising and falling with effort. But it wasn’t pain that twisted his features—it was terror.“Anderson,” Ethan pressed, his fingers tightening around Anderson’s cold wrist. “What do you mean? Who did this to you?”Anderson tried to move, but his body was too weak. He clenched his jaw, forcing out a whisper between his shallow breaths.“They know.”Ethan’s blood ran cold.Before he could ask what Anderson meant, Lucian moved abruptly, shoving Ethan back.“Get down
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Should Have Left Things Alone
As Ethan entered the room again, his heart sank as he saw Anderson. He looked even worse than he was before. Ethan hesitated for a moment, and then pulled a chair close to the bed and sat down, gripping the armrest tightly.This time around, Lucian stood by the door, arms crossed and his eyes scanning the room like he expected danger to come crashing through at any moment. Somewhere deep down, he knew Anderson was not in the clear yet. Not while he was still in this hospital.Ethan barely noticed, Lucian’s demeanor. He reached out, hesitating before lightly grasping Anderson’s wrist. It was cold. Too cold.His throat felt tight. “You have to wake up,” he whispered. “You have to tell me who did this.”Anderson didn’t move.Ethan exhaled shakily, his grip tightening. “I thought you were dead. Do you get that? I—” His voice wavered, and he clenched his jaw. “I grieved you. And now you’re back, but you’re barely here, and I—”He shook his head, frustration burning beneath his skin. “Damn
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Hospitalized
The hospital room felt smaller, like the walls were closing in, pressing down on Ethan’s chest as he watched Anderson convulse on the bed. The shrill beeping of the heart monitor filled his ears, drowning out everything else. Nurses and doctors shouted, moving quickly, but all Ethan could focus on was Anderson—pale, shaking, slipping away right in front of him.“They know.”The words echoed in his mind like a warning, a scream he couldn’t ignore. Lucian was still gripping his arm, holding him back, but Ethan barely felt it. His entire body was tense, his breath coming in short, shallow bursts.A nurse shoved past them, her voice sharp and urgent. “We need to stabilize him now!”“BP’s dropping fast!” another called.“Charging to 200!”Ethan flinched as the defibrillator paddles pressed against Anderson’s chest.“Clear!”Anderson’s body jerked, then slumped.Ethan’s stomach twisted.“Again!”Another jolt. Another lifeless slump.Panic gripped Ethan so hard his pulse pounded against his
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife They Know
Lucian paced. He couldn’t help it. His body was too charged, his mind too overwhelmed to stay still. His breaths came in sharp, measured inhales as he kept his eyes on Anderson.Ethan hadn’t moved. He was still kneeling beside his cousin, gripping his arm as if afraid that if he let go, Anderson would disappear again. His lips moved in whispers, too low for Lucian to hear. Maybe he was apologizing. Maybe he was making promises.Lucian clenched his jaw. He could hear the distant wail of sirens now, cutting through the silence of Greenville’s ruins. Help was coming. But was it fast enough? He didn’t know how Anderson had managed to survive this long, but one thing was sure, if he hadn’t gotten any help soon, he might not make it much longer anymore.His eyes flickered to Ethan. The man had barely reacted to anything else since they found Anderson. The emotions flickering across his face were too raw to name, shock, disbelief, agony, relief. All tangled into something indescribable.Luci
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife I Should Have Died
The drive to Greenville was short, but every mile stretched on like an eternity. With each passing second, Lucian’s hand gripped the wheel tighter, his mind caught in an endless loop of Ethan’s chilling words.“The earthquake should’ve taken me, not him.” Those words replayed once again in his mind, followed by guilt, regret and pain.Ethan had been drowning in it, and Lucian had missed all the signs. This weighed heavily on him considering his welfare was one of the main things he was supposed to look out for. How could he have been so blind? Lucian groaned.He should have stopped him. Should have made him stay. Should have—He exhaled sharply. “No. No more should-haves.” He muttered. He was here now, and in a matter of time, he would find Ethan before it was too late.As he looked at the place now, the road cracked at the edges, debris scattered across the pavement like fallen memories. The photos had not done it justice, the ruins of this place was more than what was shown. Buildin
