Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Hunting the Rat
SavannahThe night that followed was quite a chaotic one. I had barely slept that night. Gloria’s words kept chopping through my thoughts, reminding me that Luke’s life was in danger, and also of the promise that I had one shot. Morning came and went in a blur of coffee and restless pacing. I felt like my head had been hollowed out and refilled with one thing: find the rat.And so I started where it made sense to start: with people who owed me favors and hated Tyrant enough to talk. I felt like somehow this was all connected to him. He was in jail, yes, but he still had people who listened to his command in this city. People who worked for him.The mole had given me names, and one of them was a kid who sold for Tyrant on the docks. I found him in a run-down apartment above a closed laundromat. When I approached him, he didn’t look guilty or afraid like most people who find out they’re a suspect of a crime usually do. He answered my questions in bits and starts, the whole time, refusin
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife The Bluff
SavannahI was still shaking from what happened at the exchange. The sirens, the shouting, the way the cops stormed the room like they’d been waiting, it all replayed in my head every time I closed my eyes. I’d escaped, yes, but it hadn’t felt free. It felt like sooner or later I had to face the music, and that came sooner than I expected.I was on my phone contemplating this situation when my phone buzzed on the nightstand, the screen lighting up with an unknown number. As soon as I saw it, my stomach turned cold, because I already knew who it was. Gloria.I stared at it for a beat too long before forcing myself to pick up.“Savannah,” her voice cut through the line like a knife. It was cold and sharper than the last time we spoke. “I heard what happened.”I swallowed hard and gripped the phone tighter, searching for what to say, but she didn’t wait for me to answer. “You set me up. You tipped off the cops.”“No, I didn’t,” I said quickly, my voice firmer than I felt. “Gloria, I swea

SavannahI laid on my back, staring at the ceiling in the dark. The house was quiet, but my head was anything but. Gloria’s voice replayed over and over, like a cruel echo I couldn’t silence. “Someone you love dies.”I wanted to believe she was bluffing, that this was just another one of those scare tactics people used. But then I saw Luke’s face in my mind again, bound, guarded, helpless. That wasn’t a bluff. That was real. And no matter how much I wanted to tell myself that this wasn’t my fault, deep down I couldn’t shake the guilt. Luke had told me it was his choice, that he knew the risks. But still… it felt like I had put him there.The thought of accepting Gloria’s deal made my stomach twist. Oversee Tyrant’s zone? Become part of the same machine I’d sworn to expose? The very idea felt like betraying not just myself but everything I stood for. Yet every time I thought about refusing, the image of Luke being dragged away or worse snapped me back. No matter how ugly the choice was
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife The Boss
SavannahThe SUV hummed along the road as we headed to where I could only imagine was their boss’ base. I pressed my back against the leather and kept my hands folded in my lap because the urge to claw at the door was stupid and useless and, besides, someone would notice.They blindfolded me when we got out. I heard boots, a door, the slick scrape of a hand across my shoulder. My heart raced like I’d been running, and I tried to breathe steadily, counting the seconds until then, the blindfold came off as softly as a curtain.I realized then that I was standing in a room. It was quieter than I expected. Not empty, but stripped of noise like a photograph. She was already there. The woman from the phone. She was lean, small in a way that made her look faster than she was, and sat at the table like she’d been waiting for me my whole life. Her hair was pulled back tight, her clothes plain but perfect. Everything about her was measured.“Savannah Ford,” she said, and gestured towards the ch

SavannahThe first shot rang out before I even realized what was happening. One second, Luke had Pete backed into a corner, ready to squeeze the truth out of him. Next, the warehouse was exploding with gunfire. Some bullets tore through crates, and the sparks flashed off the metal beams, the air filled with shouting and boots pounding against concrete.“This was a setup,” I whispered, my voice lost in the chaos.Luke reacted faster than my brain could keep up. His gun was already in his hands, his body low, moving like the walls were second nature to him. He fired back in quick bursts, aiming to push the attackers back. The noise was deafening. My ears rang, and my chest thumped like I’d been hit, even though I hadn’t been touched.I dropped behind a crate and clutched my knees, trying to breathe. Pete screamed from somewhere behind me, high and panicked, like a cornered animal.“Stay down!” Luke barked. His voice cracked through the madness like an anchor.And so I hid against the cr
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife The Deal
SavannahLater that night, I pulled my jacket tighter around me and booked a cab to the location Luke gave me. As I stepped out of the car, my eyes scanned the shadows that stretched along the West Dock.Luke was already waiting near the fence, leaning against a post with his hood pulled low. When he saw me, he pushed off it and came closer, his steps silent, and his expression unreadable.“You’re late,” he said, though his tone wasn’t sharp.“Traffic,” I lied. The truth was, I’d spent ten minutes sitting in my driveway debating whether I should come at all.Luke glanced around the lot, then back at me, and asked. “You ready for this?”I swallowed hard. “Ready or not, I’m here.”He gave a short nod. “Good enough. Pete should be inside. Word is, he’s been lying low here. Voss’s men are thinning out for the night, but we don’t have forever.” He said, and so we slipped through a gap in the fence and made our way along the side of the warehouse. Every step crunched against gravel, loud in
