Author’s POV

Ethan arrived shortly after at the Eunuch mansion, and as soon as he stepped in, a tall man in a black and white tuxedo quickly approached him,

“I’m Majid, the house’s butler. Now tell me what your affairs are here.” Majid asked, he’d not seen the young master of the Ford family for over ten years now and could not recognize that that was who he was talking to.

“I’m here to meet The head of the Eunuch family. I’m Ethan Ford.”

As soon as Ethan said these, fear settled greatly on Majid. If he had offended the young master and sent him away without notifying the Eunuch family, he would have lost his job, and could even lose his life as well.

When he informed the master of the eunuch family that Ethan Ford was on his way to the mansion, the man was over-thrilled. He canceled his meetings right at that moment to meet with Ethan.

Majid bowed and immediately led Ethan to the great hall.

Ethan walked in hurriedly, searching around for Hunter Eunuch, Liam’s father and head of the

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Her Words, His World

    Hannah sat at her desk tapping her pain against the top, the soft glow of the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the room. She leaned over her laptop, and her fingers flew over the keys as she poured her heart into the story. It felt good to write again, to let the words flow, each keystroke almost like a small release, a reminder of who she used to be.The story had started as a simple exercise, a way to process her tangled emotions after the event. But as the days passed, it had grown into something more—a deeply personal narrative that was loosely based on her journey with Ethan, their whirlwind romance, the unexpected challenges of parenting, and the quiet fears they never spoke aloud.She leaned back, stretching her aching shoulders, and her eyes drifted to the stack of handwritten notes on the corner of her desk. These pages filled with late-night thoughts, sections of her dialogue and fragments of memory she’d been too afraid to confront until now.But suddenly a soft cr

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Silent Walls

    The next day, Hannah stepped out of the sleek, black SUV, her heart pounding as the cool breeze whipped through her hair. The flashes of cameras exploded around her, the sharp voices of reporters calling her name set her on edge.“Mrs. Ford, where’s your husband tonight?”, “Are the rumors of trouble true?”, “Is Ethan too busy to support you?”Hannah was taken aback with the questions, but she forced a smile, her heels clicking against the polished marble as she made her way up the steps of the grand event hall. She felt the weight of their stares, the unspoken judgment pressing down on her shoulders. Ethan had insisted she go alone tonight, urging her to take the opportunity to network, to remind herself of who she was beyond motherhood. But now, with the cameras flashing and the whispers growing louder, she felt exposed, vulnerable.As she crossed the threshold into the glittering ballroom, the murmurs followed her, the sharp whispers of gossip already spreading. She felt her throat

    Ethan took a deep breath, his heart pounding in his chest as he watched Hannah’s wide, terrified eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed, her hands twisted together in her lap, the tension in her shoulders so tight it looked like she might snap.He hesitated, running his hand through his hair, trying to find the right words, but there were no right words for this.“Hannah,” he said softly, moving to sit beside her. He took her hand, feeling the cold, nervous tremble in her fingers. “I need you to hear me out, okay?”She looked up at him, her eyes already filling with tears. “Ethan, just say it. Please.”He swallowed, squeezing her hand. “Dr. Reed… he found something during Bella’s checkup. It’s a small complication, but it might be serious. But it’s not something we can’t handle.”Hannah’s breath hitched, and her hand flew to her mouth as she tried to suppress a sob.“What… what kind of complication?” she whispered, her voice breaking.Ethan exhaled slowly, his heart aching as he saw the

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   The Mirror Test

    Hannah sat cross-legged on the living room rug, the warm morning light streaming through the tall windows. Toys scattered around her—a stuffed giraffe, a rattle, a few brightly colored blocks and a few feet from her, Julian chuckled happily beside her, his chubby hands slapping against the soft mat.She glanced at Bella, who sat a few feet away, quietly chewing on a teething ring, her wide eyes fixed on the sunlight dancing on the floor. She looked so small, so fragile, her tiny fingers grasping the plastic toy like it held all the answers in the world.Hannah’s heart tightened. She had noticed it a few days ago—how Bella seemed to watch her brothers with a sort of quiet detachment, how she took longer to reach for the toys, how her babbling was softer, less frequent.At first, she brushed it off as normal. Every baby developed at their own pace, she told herself. But as the days stretched into a week, the nagging fear in the back of her mind grew louder.That night, after the kids we

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Baby Steps

    Hannah was already halfway through typing a scene when the baby monitor crackled and instantly she paused. Her fingers hovered over the keys and her heart dropped as Bella’s thin, rasping cry echoed through the small speaker.Not the usual hungry whimper. This was different. She could tell the moment she heard it. She pushed her laptop aside, nearly knocking over her coffee, and rushed down the hallway.Ethan was in the kitchen pouring himself a late-night espresso, when he heard it too. His head snapped up, a familiar panic flashing in his eyes. He set the cup down, barely noticing it sloshing over the rim, and followed her.Bella was curled up in her crib, her tiny face flushed, and her breathing came in short, uneven gasps.“Oh God,” Hannah whispered, reaching down to scoop her up. She cradled Bella against her chest, the baby’s forehead burning against her skin. “She’s burning up, Ethan.”Ethan moved closer, placed his large hand against Bella’s back, feeling the heat radiating th

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   A Room of Her Own

    Hannah stared at the blinking cursor on her laptop screen for what felt like an eternity. She’d been trying to write again, but she was just stuck. The words should’ve been flowing by now, she knew that. It didn’t use to be this hard. She used to fill pages without a second thought, scripts usually poured from her fingertips, every scene clear in her mind. But now, the blank page felt like a wall she couldn’t climb.She glanced over her shoulder at the baby monitor, partly hoping for a distraction. Anything to get her mind off the fear that was rising. The fear that she’d lost her creative touch. But then guilt crept in.How could she spend time writing when there were bottles to wash, laundry to fold, and three little lives depending on her?She knew it wasn’t normal to feel this way. Just because she had these kids to cater for, didn’t mean she couldn’t pursue her own life. But still, the guilt was so overwhelming, she finally closed the laptop with a sigh, and leaned back into the

    The sun was shining early that morning and the park was alive with the sound of children’s laughter and the scent of fresh-cut grass. Ethan held the picnic basket in one hand, his other arm wrapped around Hannah’s waist as they strolled toward the spot his parents had picked—a quiet area under a massive oak tree in the family compound. Hannah glanced at a distance and saw the kids playing with other children. Today was not so bad, they only had to worry about Julian and Bella.“This is nice,” she said, leaning into him. “Feels… normal.”Ethan smiled, leaned down and kissed the top of her head. “It is. Just us and the kids. No boardrooms. No spreadsheets.”As they approached his parents, Margaret waved them over, feigning surprise. “There you are! I was starting to think you got lost.”“We had a minor situation in the parking lot,” Ethan replied, setting the basket down. He reached to greet his mother as his father, Richard, stepped in front of them.“Look at you,” Richard said, his ey

    It was 1:47 a.m. Hannah hadn’t closed her eyes in more than twenty hours. The house was dim, but the nursery glowed from the soft monitor’s light. Suddenly a loud cry pierced the silence like sirens. It was happening again.She kicked off the covers and sat up, wincing at the sharp ache in her back. “They’re up.”Ethan groaned from beside her. “Already?”“They never really went down.”He sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes. His hair was a mess, his face pale with exhaustion. “Alright. I’ll take the boys. You get Bella.”“No, I’ll get the boys. They hate your handling technique,” Hannah said, already on her feet.Ethan sighed but didn’t argue. Fifteen minutes later, they were at the school. Ethan tried to burp Bella but she squirmed like she wanted out of his arms.“I swear, they were easier in the hospital,” he muttered.Hannah snapped, “That’s because we had five nurses and morphine.”Ethan shot her a tired look. “You want to do this all on your own forever?”She didn’t answer. Just rock

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Home at Last

    The gates slowly opened, revealing their new home. It was wide, grand, and glowing in the soft afternoon sun, almost like a picturesque scene from a fairytale romance movie. The long driveway curved like a red carpet toward the mansion that looked like it had been pulled out of a dream. White walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, a wraparound porch and a warm ambiance that already made it feel like home. The house wasn’t just luxurious, it was everything that a new family needed. Hannah stepped out of the SUV first, holding her youngest children in her arms. The third was still fast asleep in the back seat. Her hair was pulled into a loose bun, and her clothes were wrinkled from the long drive. But there was a light in her eyes. Tired, but proud.Ethan followed, pausing for a second to take it all in. This was his idea, the home, the space, the future, yet looking at it now, it still didn’t feel so real. He had spent millions on the design. Every room was built around the idea of raising
