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
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Whispers
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
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Show Stopper
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
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Harper‘s Party
SavannahI got home that evening and couldn’t stop staring at the invitation card sitting on my desk. Harper’s perfect, flowery handwriting looked so smug that I almost felt mocked just looking at it. Beach party, it said. Off campus by 7 p.m. I hesitated for a moment. Everything in me told me I shouldn’t go to that party. But then I shifted my gaze and could see the address, scrawled neatly at the bottom, and I had to admit, it was tempting.I flipped the card over, then back again. Over and over. I knew I shouldn’t go. I knew the smart thing was to stay home, get some rest, and maybe do a little more digging into Uriel Benedict and her family’s connection to The Crow. But every time I looked at that card, my mind wandered right back to Uriel. She was going to be there. I could feel it.And if she was, this might be my only chance to talk to her without having to barge into her or, worse, make it obvious I was looking for her.Still, there was this tug in my chest telling me it wasn’
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Who Is She?
Savannah Julian looked up when I sat across from him, and his brows knitted slightly. “Okay,” he said slowly, shutting the screen. “You’ve got that look again.”I blinked. “What look?”“Something big is about to happen, and I’m the only one who knows about it.”I sighed when he said that and drummed my fingers against the table. “You make it sound like I do this for fun.”He smirked and raised his brows like he didn’t believe me. “You kind of do.”I rolled my eyes but didn’t take the bait. I wasn’t in the mood for banter; I just wanted some information. “Julian,” I started carefully, “what do you know about Uriel Benedict?”The name seemed to land like a stone between us. His expression shifted from curiosity into something that looked suspiciously like caution. “Uriel?” he repeated. “As in the Uriel Benedict?”“Yeah,” I said, nodding. “That one.”He leaned back slightly, and his eyes narrowed with a hint of concern and maybe fear. “That’s a strange name to drop out of nowhere.
