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
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 142: The Day the Masks Slipped
KATHRYN POVThe door was already half open.Jacob was inside the room.Course Jacob was inside the room.He was seated behind his desk like Jacob's world had never been disrupted.It was like custody battles were normal appointments for Jacob, not huge problems.Like people did not break into the spaces Jacob controlled.He looked up when we entered the room.And for a short time. So short it could have been imagined. Something changed in Jacob's face.It was recognition.Then Jacob's normal calm face returned, like a mask being put on.Jacob said calmly "Well this is becoming a pattern " while leaning back in his chair with his fingers around a glass.Iris stepped forward.There was no hesitation now.No softness in Iris.Iris said, "I want to see Celine ". It was not a question.It was not a demand that sounded polite.It was a statement that assumed saying no was not an option for Jacob.Jacob did not move.Jacob studied Iris, like a man looking at something that had entered Jacob'
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 60: The Price of Interference
JACOB POVAlthough I did not want her to see it, losing control in front of her would only give her power over me. "Yet, " I said slowly, my eyes narrowing a little "I am still sitting here without a court notice without a summons without anything," and I let her think about what that meant becaus
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 58: Leverage Over Loyalty
JACOB POVMoments like this did not need a reaction; they needed to be absorbed. Every second of that footage was being stored in my mind where it could be pulled apart later piece by piece.She asked, "Do you not find this suspicious?" Her voice cut into the silence enough to remind me she was st
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 57: Trust Is the Weakest Link
JACOB POVHer words did not hit me away the way she wanted them to.They just hung there quiet and sharp like something she put between us on purpose to see how I would react.“What kind of question is that,” I asked her finally, my voice low and controlled but with something underneath that even I
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 53: This Isn't Over
KATHRYN POVThere was a pause. It was brief. It felt heavy. Even the whispers stopped. For the time since Jacob walked in his face changed in a way that he could not control.It was not anger that I saw on his face. It was something. It was closer to disbelief.. That was enough to make me feel lik
