All Chapters of Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Ethan stood by the kitchen window, with his phone in hand, his thumb hovering over Hannah’s name. It was past midnight. The kids were asleep. The house was still. And he was exhausted—not from the lack of sleep, but from the weight pressing on his chest since she left.He had rehearsed what he wanted to say a hundred times in his head. He wouldn’t yell. He wouldn’t accuse. He would tell her the truth—that he missed her, that he was sorry, that he was ready to be better.But as soon as he hit call, everything fell apart.“Hello?” Hannah’s voice was soft, distant, and tired.His heart thumped loudly in his ears when he heard her and for a brief moment, it sank. “It’s me,” he said, voice cracking a little. “I know it’s late. I just… I needed to talk to you.”There was a pause on the other end, then a faint shuffle, like she was moving somewhere quieter.“Okay,” she replied, a little guarded. “What is this about Ethan?”“I’ve been thinking,” Ethan began his voice softer than it was last t

After a deep and long thought, Hannah had made up her mind. She needed to return home. She had taken the early morning flight back to their city, and the plane touched down just after sunset. Hannah stared out the window as the familiar city lights came into view. Her fingers gripped the armrest, not out of fear, but something heavier—dread.She had thought long and hard before booking her return flight. For days she’d sat with her return ticket on the nightstand, staring at it like it held the answer to her broken heart. In the end, it all came back to one truth: she owed it to her marriage, to her family, to come home and try.She wasn’t expecting a fairy tale ending, but she wasn’t ready to shut the door completely either.At the airport, no one was there to greet her. She had asked Ethan not to come. It would have been too much, too soon. So she called a car and rode back in silence, thinking of what she was going to do and say when she met him. Her eyes scanned the city streets t

Ethan had never known silence like this. Since he moved out, the life he used to enjoy did not feel the same anymore. The penthouse was quiet, too quiet. In a different life, he’d be planning a party now, celebrating his freedom, but now, nothing interested him. The only thing he could do now, was just sit here and try to clear his mind. Even the ticking of the wall clock got on his nerves. He sat by the window, watching the skyline stare back at him. His phone was in his hand, but he didn’t dial. He couldn’t.It had been days since he moved out of the house. Since they agreed on a break. Since he packed a single bag and left behind the life they’d built. When they got married, he never thought a day like this would come, but now it was here and he had no idea what to do.He had told himself he wouldn’t spiral. He promised he’d be mature this time. Focused and present for the kids. But every time he tried to focus on work, his thoughts went right back to her—and Julian.That damn tab

The ScreenGuild dinner was in full swing. The room was filled with laughter right from the moment Hannah walked in. They echoed under gold chandeliers, with soft music guiding the conversations, and clinking glasses marked every corner of the room.Hannah stood near the grand staircase, dressed in a midnight blue gown that hugged her gently and shimmered under the lights. Her hair was pinned back in soft waves, and her lips held just enough color to match the night’s elegance.She looked beautiful, even though she didn’t feel it. At least not completely. It wasn’t like the first time she walked into a ScreenGuild event. That night she felt powerful, full of hope and confidence. Tonight, though—tonight she felt… unsure and unsteady.Maybe it was the way Julian kept his hand too long on her back. Or the way he introduced her to every person with a little too much pride, like she was some sort of prize. Maybe it was because her relationship with Ethan was still rocky.“Everyone, this is

The first light of morning slipped through the blinds, brushing against Hannah’s bare shoulder. She blinked awake and for a moment, everything felt just like every other morning. But then, she suddenly felt a strange warmth beside her before she even turned her head.Just then, her memories reeled back and her hands flew to her mouth as she saw him there — Ethan. He was still asleep, lying on his side, one arm resting across the sheets where she’d been curled up moments ago. His hair was tousled, and his face, in sleep, looked peaceful—almost like the man she first fell in love with, but that only made it worse.‘No, no, no!” She panicked and clutched her chest like a fist. Then she sat up slowly, heart pounding, barely breathing. The room was still, but in a way that screamed everything had changed. For a moment, she hoped this was just a dream. That she hadn’t slept with Ethan, but then she glanced down and could see clothes scattered, and memories of last night painted across the f
