Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife What Remains Unsaid
JulianAfter I got back home to my apartment, the silence stretched so long that I could hear the hum of the fridge and the faint buzz of the city through the window. It was strange how something as simple as a quiet room could feel like punishment. I didn’t know what else to do, so I just sat there for a while with my phone still in my hand, replaying the sound of Savannah’s voice in my head, the disbelief, the bitterness, and the exhaustion laced between her words. It wasn’t even anger that got to me. It was how tired she sounded. Like she’d finally run out of reasons to defend me, and that feeling sank me.I leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling for a long time, trying to convince myself that I’d done the right thing. That what I was doing with the Feds wasn’t betrayal, that it was for our own survival. But the longer I sat there, the less it felt like a choice I made and more like a corner I’d been pushed into.I kept thinking about the first day I met Savannah, her s
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife The Distance Between Us
JulianThere’s a certain kind of silence that can tell you more than words ever could. I started hearing it in Savannah weeks before I finally admitted it to myself, the quiet pauses, the careful tones, the way she smiled without letting her eyes follow through. At first, I thought she was just tired. We all were. Between the long nights at the warehouse, the endless meetings, and the tension hanging over everything, it made sense. But then the replies to my texts got shorter. Calls went unanswered. And when I did see her in school, she treated me like someone she barely knew.I’d walk into the lecture hall and see her sitting beside some random student, laughing at something small they said, even though the sound barely reached me. Sometimes, she’d glance my way for a second, just long enough to make me think she was about to walk over, but then she’d turn away, focus back on whatever file or note was in front of her. I tried to tell myself not to care. I told myself it didn’t matte
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife The Lie That Saved
SavannahBy the next morning, my head still hadn’t stopped echoing. Every thought bounced off, from Uriel’s warning, to Colleen’s cryptic words, and Julian’s distance. I tried to drown it all out by focusing on school, pretending to listen to my professors, pretending to care about not missing any more classes. But the truth was, I couldn’t shake it.The more I thought about what Uriel said, the less it sounded like a taunt and more like a dare. She wanted me to walk away. She wanted me to fear Colleen. And I hated that part of me still wondered if maybe she had a reason.By the time classes ended, I’d made up my mind. I wasn’t going to Julian, not yet. I needed to see Colleen again, face him, and find out for myself. Because if there was even a sliver of truth to what Uriel had said, then I was standing too close to something that could ruin more than just me. My father would never forgive me for being tied to anything as dirty as murder. And worse, I wasn’t sure I could forgive mys
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Cracks Beneath the Surface
SavannahI didn’t sleep much that night when I got back home. Every time I closed my eyes, Uriel’s voice slithered back into my head like smoke. ‘He wasn’t exiled for murder.’ The words echoed over and over, blurring with the sound of the ceiling fan and the occasional creak from the old pipes in my apartment.By morning, I’d convinced myself it didn’t matter. People like Uriel thrived on chaos. She wanted me to question Colleen, to pull at threads until everything unraveled. And I wasn’t going to give her that satisfaction.At least, that’s what I told myself as I stared at my reflection brushing my hair. My eyes looked tired, and my face was a shade paler than usual. I gave myself a small nod and muttered, “You’re fine. You’re not losing it.”By the time I reached the university, the sun was already out, and like always, the students moved around in their usual morning blur with coffee cups, laughter, and papers fluttering like wings. For a moment, everything looked perfectly normal
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife Enemies From the Past
SavannahAlthough she was the last person I wanted to be having any conversation with, and I was sure she knew, Uriel didn’t budge. She didn’t move when I told her to leave. She just stood there in the doorway with her arms crossed and a faint smirk on her lips like she’d been waiting all day for this moment. The air between us felt strange, like the calm before something sharp. Finally, she tilted her head slightly and said, “You really don’t know who you’re working with, do you?”I frowned and adjusted the strap of my bag. “If this is about Colleen again, save it. I’m not interested in another one of your family gossip sessions.”Uriel took a step closer to me, slow and deliberate, and then heaved. “You should be interested. Because it’s not gossip when it’s the truth.”I sighed and turned away to gather my things. “You’re unbelievable. Do you ever get tired of being dramatic?”“I get tired of watching people walk into disasters they don’t understand or don’t have to be in.”That m
Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife The Warnings We Ignore
SavannahIt started with an email that simply said, “See me in my office, urgent.” There was no subject, no context, just that one line sitting in my inbox like a tiny time bomb waiting to go off. I stared at it longer than I should have, hoping maybe it would delete itself or turn out to be a mistake. But no such luck. Professor Maddox didn’t mess around. And she definitely didn’t send messages like that for good news.By the time I got to campus, my stomach felt like it had a permanent knot. The hallways looked brighter than usual, too clean, and too polished, like the walls themselves were mocking me for even showing up. I passed a group of students laughing by the vending machine, their carefree chatter bouncing off the walls, and I couldn’t help but think about how long it had been since I’d felt that light or even actively participated in this environment. Lately, everything in my life felt heavier, Julian’s distance, Colleen’s sudden quietness, it was like that strange sense th
