Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Jack’s Game
Savannah“Tell me everything you’ve found so far,” Jack repeated, staring at me with such intensity, leaning against the edge of the desk with his arms crossed loosely, but his eyes never left mine the whole time. The dim light from the corner lamp caught the sharp planes of his face. “I’ll ask again,” he said quietly. “What exactly do you have on the Benedicts?”My heart began to beat too loudly in my chest. Jack wasn’t usually the kind of guy I kept things from, but there was too much at stake to just give up what little information I had. I knew Jack’s loyalty was first to my father, and anything I told him, he would report back to Ethan. The air in my father’s office suddenly felt too still, too thick with secrets I wasn’t supposed to touch. I hesitated longer, my fingers brushing over the folder I’d been flipping through seconds before he walked in.“It’s nothing concrete yet,” I said, my voice coming out steadier than I felt. “Just a few things I’m trying to connect.”Jack didn

SavannahThe footsteps grew louder, each one thudding like a countdown. I could feel my pulse racing, and before I could even think, I shoved the Benedict Holdings folder halfway back into the drawer. My fingers fumbled with the cabinet door, but the damn thing refused to close quietly.“Savannah?”My entire body went cold.That voice. I knew that voice. I turned around slowly, my heart pounding in my chest, and there he was, Jackk standing in the doorway, holding a takeaway coffee and looking at me like he’d just walked in on something far worse than a crime scene.For a split second, neither of us spoke. The silence was heavy, and stretched between us like a wire about to snap.He took a step forward, his brows knitting together. “What are you doing in here?”“I…” I started, forcing out a laugh that sounded painfully awkward. “Just… looking for something.”“In your father’s private office?” he asked, his tone sharp, skeptical. “Without him here?”I tried to act casual, leaning back
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Trouble
SavannahI couldn’t stop thinking about what Noah said. Another company. Another player in all this chaos. The idea sat heavy in my head all morning, circling like a storm that wouldn’t quiet down.I’d tried everything: coffee, music, even pacing around my apartment, but no matter what I did, my brain kept coming back to the same question. Besides the Benedicts, who else was working with The Crow?It didn’t make sense the more I thought about it. Why would any legitimate company risk partnering with someone like him? Unless… they weren’t exactly clean either.I sighed as I realized this mess was only getting deeper and deeper, and then I leaned forward on the couch, with my elbows on my knees. I needed facts, not guesses, not assumptions, but something solid. Noah was still digging, but waiting around felt like slow torture. If I wanted answers, I’d have to find them myself. And that’s when it occurred to me. I knew exactly where to look. I’ve known all this while. My father’s office
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Running Out of Time
SavannahI woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing somewhere beside me. The morning light was barely breaking through the curtains, and for a second, I thought it was my alarm. But when I reached for it and saw the notification flash across the screen, the drowsiness vanished, and I woke up almost instantly.It was an unknown number, but something about that already didn’t sit right. I blinked a few times, rubbed my eyes, and opened the message, trying hard to keep myself composed. It wasn’t long, just one line, but it was enough to make my stomach twist. “You’re running out of time, Miss Ford. Tell your people to cooperate and hand over the twenty million, or next time, I’ll take more drastic measures to get my message across.”I read it again and again, and each time, the words felt heavier, like they were sinking straight into my chest. I didn’t need anyone to tell me, I knew who it was—the Crow. For a few seconds, I just sat there with the phone still in my hand, trying to proce

SavannahBy the time I got home, I could still taste the salt in the air. My hands were trembling, and my pulse was unsteady. It felt like I’d walked straight out of a nightmare and somehow hadn’t woken up yet.Uriel’s face kept flashing in my mind, that calm, dangerous smile curling at the edges of her lips as she said, “I heard you’ve been looking for me.”The way she said it, almost amused, like I was a child trying to play detective in a world far darker than I understood, made my stomach twist.I pushed the front door closed as soon as I walked in and leaned against it, breathing hard. The silence of my apartment wrapped around me like a blanket that couldn’t quite keep the cold out. I dropped my bag onto the couch and sat down, staring at nothing. Every piece of what I thought I knew had shifted. Uriel knew I’d been looking for her. Which meant someone had been talking to her about me, or worse, watching me.The mere thought of it sent a shiver down my spine. I’d been careful. A

SavannahThe music had stopped then, or maybe it hadn’t, but I couldn’t hear it anymore. All I could hear was the rush of voices, the sound of dripping water, and Harper’s friends calling out my name in an accusing tone that made my stomach twist.“What’s your problem, Savannah?” one of them shouted. “You pushed her!”“I didn’t…” I tried to say, but they were already closing in, and their eyes were blazing like an angry mob was about to be formed. Harper was still coughing up pool water, surrounded by people wrapping her in towels and pretending they cared, and my heart was thudding in my chest, my palms clammy. I knew what this looked like. I knew how fast stories like this could spread.So I didn’t wait for them to finish their performance. I had to leave before they got angrier and decided to attack me, so I turned and walked away. Fast.I didn’t even look back. I just moved past the crowd cautiously, ignoring the stares and murmurs that followed me like a trail of smoke. I needed
