Savannah

I woke up before my alarm that morning, mostly because my phone wouldn’t stop buzzing on the nightstand. It took me a second to actually reach for it, and when I did, I saw Julian’s name lighting up the screen. Three missed calls, one message, and the time stamp told me he’d been up way too early for anyone’s good.

‘Meet me at the river. Please.’ That was his message.Sent at 4:07 a.m.

I sat there for a moment, letting my eyes adjust to the dim light, wondering what exactly could’ve pushed him into this level of urgency. I already had a feeling, but I pretended I didn’t. It’s easier that way sometimes. Still, I got dressed without overthinking it and left the house quietly, the early morning air hitting me with that crisp chill that always wakes you up faster than coffee.

The walk to the river was quiet. There were no cars yet, no students trudging to class, no families out for their weekend jogs. Just me and the fog sitting lazily over the water. I spotted Julian before he no

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   The Surveillance

    JulianI knew the FBI wasn’t finished with me, but I didn’t expect the knock on my door to feel so terrifying. It was early, too early for anyone normal to be awake, but that’s when the pounding starts. Three heavy hits that were not polite or patient. But then again, I never knew the feds to operate ever so calmly. I drag myself from the couch, the remnants of last night’s headache still dragging behind my eyes. I barely twisted the lock before the door was shoved inward, nearly slamming into me. And there he was, the FBI agent. The same one who has been circling my life like a vulture for the past few days. Only this time, he wasn’t pretending to be friendly.“We’ve got a problem, Julian,” he snapped, and stepped inside like he owned the place. His eyes swept the room with a cold assessment that made my skin crawl. “A big one.”Despite his rudeness, I slowly shut the door tight. “You don’t get to barge into my home like that.” I blurted.He turned to me, and his expression never ch

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Lines in the Dust 

    SavannahI never thought standing in a warehouse could feel like standing at the edge of a cliff, but that’s exactly what this morning feels like. The air is cold, sharp even, like it was trying to warn me. After Julian dropped that invitation on my phone last night, I barely slept. I kept turning over the same questions in my mind, the same doubts, the same fear that maybe I’ve already stepped too close to something I couldn’t walk away from.By the time I finally decided to show up, I was already late. The warehouse looked bigger than I remembered, or maybe it was just quieter. Strangely, the echo of my footsteps felt louder than the truth I’d been avoiding. When I pushed the door open, I saw Colleen first, standing with his arms folded, and leaning against a crate like he’d been waiting long enough to get irritated. He glanced at me, and his expression turned sour. When I didn’t see Julian anywhere around, I wanted to turn around and walk away. But instead, I paused, took a slow br

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   The Cost of Loyalty

    JulianI sat outside the safehouse in my car, staring ahead on the road with the engine off, reflecting upon the silence, trying to make the same decision I’d been contemplating since yesterday. The sky outside was a muted gray, the kind that made everything look a little heavier than it already was, and I found myself staring out the windshield without really seeing anything. My hands rested on the steering wheel, and my knuckles were pale from how tightly I gripped it and the longer I sat there, the more it felt like time wasn’t moving at all. Just me, frozen in the middle of a mess I had walked into blindfolded.The worst part was knowing Savannah now knew everything. All the things I had kept tucked behind my teeth, all the danger I had pretended I could handle alone, it was all out in the open. She hadn’t yelled or cried, and hadn’t even sounded shocked when I told her. She just seemed disappointed. I could still hear it in my head, sharp even in the silence.It was so exhausting

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Foggy Decisions

    SavannahMy mind didn’t know rest since I found out everything I did about Julian and Colleen. Every night was heavy, and the mornings were worse. So this morning I decided to do something else. Something that used to calm the chaos in my mind whenever I found myself torn or lost over something.And so slowly, I’d put on my boots, found my favorite cashmere sweater, and stepped outside for a walk. It was exceptionally cold this morning, but I didn’t mind. I kept my hands in my coat pockets, gripped the leather lining so tightly, because it was the only thing that made me feel anchored. The city was quiet this early, the usual hum of traffic muted by the mist, but still I could feel the weight of everything pressing against my chest, heavy and cold. Julian’s voice from last night echoed in my head, the way it cracked just slightly when he told me the truth, and I couldn’t stop thinking about the words he’d said, the cartel, the FBI, the leverage, the threat, and how fragile we all rea

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   What About A New Deal

    JulianHowever, by the time I got home, I couldn’t bear the chaos running through my head again, and so I called her. I didn’t think she’d pick up, but shortly after the phone rang, she answered. For a moment, neither of us said anything, and then she drew a deep breath and asked, “Why did you call me this late, Julian?”That was my cue to tell her the truth, to tell her everything, but still it didn’t seem so easy. However, I knew it had to be done, and so I drew in a deep breath, sat down, and told her everything.For a long time after I told her, neither of us said anything. It was one of those silences that doesn’t just hang in the air, but sinks. Savannah’s breath came slow and shaky through the phone, and it told me she was trying hard to make sense of something that didn’t make sense. I could almost see her pacing, her eyes darting to the wall like she was trying to read the truth written somewhere there.“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” she asked again, this time quieter. It w
