Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 148: Home Was Never the Answer
ANNA POVThe words he said were simple. They felt really heavy. I turned around slowly because I was not sure if I heard him right or if my mind was making things up."Come home " I said again to see if it sounded real. It was like I was testing the words to see if they would break if I repeated them.He nodded, like he already knew what he wanted."We do not need to keep living like this " he said, his voice getting a little softer, a little more convincing. "We can fix this Jacob and I can go back to how things were with us."I almost laughed,. I stopped myself."How things were?" I repeated, taking a step back because standing still felt like giving up. "Jacob things were never simple with us. You just got better at pretending they were."Rita cleared her throat like she knew things were getting tense. Neither of us looked at her.Jacob watched me for a moment then he spoke, his voice again a little different now a little more careful."I am not asking for perfection " he said. "I
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 147: Come Home
ANNA POVThe afternoon had been calm. That should have warned me it was not going to last. I stood in the kitchen with Rita. She chopped vegetables for lunch. The smell of garlic and herbs filled the room. Sunlight spilled across the marble counters.Rita talked about a neighbor. The neighbor had lost her dog. Then she accused everyone of stealing it. I laughed. It sounded ridiculous.Rita said, "She printed missing posters before she even checked her backyard." She shook her head. She stirred a pot.I laughed again. I folded my arms. "That sounds like her " I said. "She makes her problems. Then she expects everyone else to help her."Rita pointed a spoon at me. "See? That's why I like talking to you, Anna. You understand people." Before I could answer the doorbell rang.Rita looked toward the hallway. "That must be the delivery " she said. "I ordered some groceries." I pushed away from the counter. "Keep cooking " I told her. "I'll get it."I walked through the hallway. I opened the
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 146: The Petition
IRIS POVThe moment Kathryn stopped trying to pull from me I felt the fight leave her body although she still looked really exhausted and that exhaustion worried me more than her anger ever could.She stood in front of me for a second without a word, my hands still holding hers, and I realized that neither of us was arguing anymore. We were just done fighting.We were tired of everything.Tired of Jacob.Tired of all the secrets.Tired of losing all the time.Most of all tired of surviving one thing only to go into another.Finally, Kathryn looked down. Let out a long sigh.It was not like she was agreeing with me.It was more like she was accepting reality.Not Jacob's reality,. Ours."I will stay," she said quietly.Those words were small. They made me feel a little better for the first time all night.Her eyes went to the packed suitcase on the bed and her face got tight again."Not because you think everything will be okay," she said quickly. "Not because I think this will work ou
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 145: The Edge of Goodbye
IRIS POVI did not think.I moved before I could think about what I was doing because watching Kathryn pack her things felt like watching something bad happen in motion and my body did not want to accept that it was already happening."Kathryn " I said, her name coming out louder than I meant it to like I could stop her with my voice alone.She did not turn around.She kept folding her clothes, carefully and precisely in a way that did not match the shaking in her voice earlier like she had decided that if she moved carefully enough she would not feel anything."I said I am leaving " she repeated, quieter like she was trying to make it final before I could turn it into a conversation.That is when I crossed the room.Not slowly.Not carefully.Fast enough that she finally looked up."Kathryn stop " I said, my voice lower now because I could hear how close I was to losing control of my tone. "Do not do this. Not like this."She breathed out sharply like a laugh without any humor."Ther
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 144: After the Truth Came the Fight
IRIS POVThat one word was still sitting in my chest like something that had not decided whether it was sorrow or responsibility.I walked to the window because I needed to stop looking at Kathryn's face for a moment needed to see something that was not a memory or a consequence or a child I had not known I had.Outside the city did not care.It never does.It just keeps going like people do not rebuild their lives in a kitchen at night.Behind me, Kathryn did not speak.She did not interrupt the silence. Somehow that silence felt heavier than anything Kathryn had said so far.I pressed my palm lightly against the glass not because I needed balance but because I needed something that was not Kathryn's voice.In my head, everything kept repeating.Kathryn's daughter has my eyes.Kathryn's daughter is five years old.Kathryn kept it alone.I turned back slowly.Kathryn was still sitting there hands folded tightly like if she loosened them she might fall apart completely.I realized some

KATHRYN POVEven Jacob did not respond away and I saw his fingers grip the base of his glass tightly for a moment before he put it down again being very careful. The room felt smaller than it was a minute ago like the walls were listening in now.I told myself Kathryn do not move, because this is not over yet.Jacob leaned forward a little like he thought he could take control by being closer. "You are guessing what someone meant " he said, being careful with his words now. "Be very careful what you say, Iris because if you cannot prove it you could be in trouble for saying something about someone."Iris's face did not change,. I saw something in his eyes become clear and strong. "Then I will prove it " he said and he was not bragging he was just decided.I looked at Jacob's face. It was calm again but it was not easy for him to keep it that way. He was working to stay in control. That made a difference.Jacob stood up slowly. When he did the room seemed to move around him like it was

KATHRYN POVShe turned around and her reaction was immediate.“Mommy!" she shouted, her voice cracking in a way that really got to me. She pushed herself up from the bed fast, her arms reaching out to me without hesitation.I quickly closed the distance between us, my hands on her shoulders as I he

KATHRYN POVThe silence in my car was not quiet at all. It was loud. It was pressing against my chest. I picked up my phone and dialed my lawyer's number again and when the phone rang once or twice and then went to that automated voice my stomach dropped."Switched off," I said quietly to myself ev

JACOB POVI glanced at the screen. When I saw Michael’s name on it something inside me didn't react like it usually would. Of feeling urgent or curious I felt a dull calculation in my chest. I let it ring till the vibration stopped.Mrs. Joyce. She always noticed things that mattered."Good," she s
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 61: A Plan Already in Motion
JACOB POVHer answer did not make things clear, it actually made everything more confusing. The way she spoke was so calm and easy it was obvious she had already thought about how this conversation would go even before I walked into the room. I looked at her for a longer time but my mind was alrea
