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. What’

  • 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   The Invite

    SavannahI was halfway across the quad when I saw Julian by the fountain, hanging out with some of his boys. Seeing him there with a group, I felt slightly reluctant to approach him. I’d had enough of high school boys and dealt with them rather too often to know how they were. Still, I needed to talk to him about Uriel, about what Noah told me, about how everything suddenly felt like it was closing in around me. But just as I picked up my pace and started toward him, someone stepped right into my path. Harper.She looked annoyingly perfect, as usual, with her hair bouncing all over the place, her smile just sharp enough to make you wonder if it was real. I tried to avoid her, but it was too late, so I composed myself and braced for impact. “What do you want, Harper?” I asked, crossing my arms before she even opened her mouth.She blinked innocently, like I’d just accused her of stealing my lunch. “Relax, Savannah. I’m not here to start anything.”“Right,” I said flatly. “Because that’

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Uriel

    SavannahI met Noah later that evening, at a quiet café near the edge of campus. It was the kind of place that smelled faintly like burnt espresso and rain, and it was one of those nights where everything felt too still, even the sound of footsteps outside seemed to echo too loudly.He was already there by the time I got there, sitting by the window with his hood up, his phone in his hand, his eyes flicking between the screen and the street. When he finally looked up and saw me, he gave that same half-smirk he always did, like nothing ever really surprised him.“You look exhausted,” he said as I slid into the seat across from him.“I could say the same for you,” I muttered, setting my bag down. “You texted me like it was life or death.”He didn’t say anything; he just leaned forward and rested his elbows on the table. “It might be.”That caught my attention. “Alright, what did you find?”“You remember that guy you mentioned, the one they call The Crow?”My chest tightened a little whe

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   New Competition

    SavannahI’d been trying to keep my head down ever since that call with Noah, but my brain was already a storm, and I couldn’t even sleep easily anymore. Every time I shut my eyes, I kept hearing that man’s voice again.I tried to shake it off, focus on school, and act normal. You know, try to pretend I could handle all of this. But even normalcy felt like a foreign language at that point. The board had been on my neck, hinting around that they were “monitoring progress.” Which loosely translates to, “they didn’t trust me anymore.” So, I went to class, tried to fit in, and kept my mouth shut about everything else.But that afternoon, classes ran later than usual, and by the time I stepped out of the building, the sky was already beginning to fade into grey. The campus was quieter than usual. Some students were heading back to the dorms, laughing, walking in groups, and just doing normal activities.I adjusted the strap of my bag and started walking down the usual path toward the dorms

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   The Crow

    SavannahThe one-week timeframe the underground king had given wouldn’t stop looping in my head. Even after I got home later that night from the board meeting, showered, changed into something comfortable, and tried to distract myself with emails and random spreadsheets, nothing helped. It was like his warning had been branded somewhere inside me. One week before everything came crashing down. That was barely enough time for me to figure out how to handle this, but I had to try.I sat on the edge of my bed for a long while, my phone lying face-up beside me on the sheets. The dorm was quiet, it was a Friday night after all. Everyone was out partying or doing one reckless thing or the other, and here I was trying to figure out something that seemed impossible. My thoughts were loud, too loud, you would say. I tried to think, to plan, to figure out some kind of leverage I could use against the underground king. Something that could buy me time or give me an advantage. But I kept hitting
