All Chapters of Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife: Chapter 191 - Chapter 198

SavannahAfter the fight between Leo and Noah at campus became yet another viral topic, I knew it was only a matter of time before my father called me back home. Although he didn’t say why I was being needed at home, I could make a few guesses.It was the weekend and the drive to the Ford estate felt longer than usual. Maybe it was because my head was still spinning from everything that happened on campus. Leo’s fight with Noah, the way everyone stared, it was all replaying in my mind like an ugly highlight reel I couldn’t turn off.The drive back to the estate felt longer than it should have. I kept staring out the tinted window, trying not to let my nerves show to the driver who kept glancing at me in the rearview mirror like he was checking for cracks. The moment the car rolled past the tall iron gates, I could feel it almost instantly, something was different. The air around the Ford estate always carried that sharp scent of manicured lawns and order, but today it felt… heavier.

SavannahThe hospital room was quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the soft beeping of the machine beside Noah’s bed. I’d been sitting in the same stiff chair for what felt like hours, my body aching from how rigid I’d been, but I couldn’t bring myself to move.He was propped up slightly, his face pale against the pillow, a thin band of gauze wrapped across his temple. Every now and then, his eyes would flick to me, but he didn’t say much. I didn’t either. The air between us felt heavy, too thick with all the things we weren’t saying.I kept telling myself I was only here to make sure he was okay, that once I knew he was safe, I’d leave. But my feet never moved toward the door.But then suddenly, his phone buzzed on the table beside him. We both looked at it at the same time, and the name on the screen made my chest tighten. It was Camille.Noah reached for it but hesitated halfway, his hand hovering like he wasn’t sure if answering was a good idea.“Go ahead,” I

SavannahThe meeting with Jack had come to an end, and for the first time in weeks, I finally felt in control of things. I had informed my new group of foot soldiers to stay tuned for when I’d reach back to them. Jack had been chivalrous enough to drop me a few metres away from campus, and after I stepped down from his car, I could say I felt like a brand new person. The walk back to my dorm felt different this time. I wasn’t just a girl with no sense of direction or what I was going to do next. But I had barely made it halfway up the steps to my dorm when I noticed a shadow leaning against the wall by the entrance. Even in the dim light, I could make out the broad shoulders and hands shoved deep into jacket pockets. It was Leo.The sight of him there sent a small jolt through me. Not the good kind. Not the kind that made your chest warm. It was the kind that made your mind run ahead, wondering what storm he was about to bring with him this time. I didn’t know exactly what had been

SavannahThe sun wasn’t even fully up when I rolled out of bed the next morning, but my mind was already racing. Last night’s conversation with Leo kept replaying in my head. I mean, I was relieved that he was now in the know, and I didn’t have to carry the weight of this alone anymore. But still, I couldn’t shake this feeling that I’d roped him into something that was dangerous.But I didn’t want to think about it anymore. Not right now. Today needed to be about something else, something bigger.I grabbed my phone and scrolled down to Devon’s number. The scarred-faced man who tried to challenge my authority during our meeting with Jack. He was now the leader of my new crew. There was something about him that made me confident he was the right person for the job. Just saying his name in my head steadied me. Without hesitation, I pressed call, and he picked up after the first ring.“Yeah?” His voice was gruff, like gravel being dragged across pavement.“It’s Savannah,” I said, pulling
