Helen was already outside when Anna found her, bundled in a hospital blanket, breathing in the night air like it was something she needed.

Olivia sat behind her on a bench, one hand on Helen's wheelchair, the other holding her phone. They talked and laughed, eyes on the screen—happy in their own world.

Anna stopped, taking in the sight before her, nostalgia for something she never had curling around her. She never had such candid moments with her own mother—and if she ever had, they were so rar

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Not Now

    Anna barely made it to the entrance before the dizziness hit again, forcing her hand against the wall for balance.Leah noticed immediately, her eyes narrowing as she stepped closer. “Yeah… no. We’re not ignoring that anymore.”Leah placed a hand on her back as Anna exhaled, pressing her lips together as a strange, unsettling thought crept in. She shook her head, forcing herself upright. “I'm fine. Let's—”“You're not stepping into that mess until I'm sure you won't be fainting in public,” Leah cut in, giving her a look. “Wait here. I'll bring the car around.”Anna smiled her thanks but followed anyway as Leah stepped out. She stopped right outside the entrance, a hand pressed to her chest. She couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that something was off. But she couldn't dwell on it. Not yet. Right now, she needed to get to the hospital before things escalated beyond control. Leah's car pulled to a stop in front of her and she slid in. The moment they pulled away, Leah glanced a

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    On A Collision Course

    Jason sat behind his desk, the morning light cutting through the blinds in sharp lines across the polished surface. It had been a day since he'd initiated the quiet investigation, and had managed to keep the investigators focused and discreet overnight.His phone lay face down, notifications muted, but the investigator’s updates had already arrived on his tablet. USB logs, device checks, two flashed exports of the hospital clip from the nurse station—one from Dr. Mitchell, the other from an intern. His brows furrowed at the lack of anything incriminating in Dr. Mitchell's ersonal office computer. One of them had gone too far—and just yesterday, Jason would've been willing to place his cards on the attending. Now, he wasn’t so sure.There was still the issue of the burner email and Dr. Mitchell's name on it, but anyone would've easily framed that. Just like she'd mentioned yesterday. But still, not the intern. She had no motive to sabotage Anna. Except if the intern was more affect

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Too Convenient

    Anna's brows furrowed as she watched the interns speak, her body reacting before her mind could. Her stomach knotted, shoulders stiffening. Emotions shot through her, too fast to grasp. Only one thought surfaced: They shouldn't be doing that. She shifted uncomfortably on the floor, feeling the heat raise to her face at their praise. Leah let out a low whistle, her gaze shifting from the screen to her. “They must really adore you,” she whispered, almost reverently, nudging Anna slightly. Anna's lips stretched tightly, then snapped back. They were making her out to be a saint—she wasn't. She straightened as Sierra began to speak, her eyes locked on the screen unblinkingly. For the slightest moment, her lips tugged as her own words were echoed back to her. Until Sierra said the words that erased that fleeting smile. “And that's what she gave me… room to grow. To learn.” Anna tensed, realizing where she was taking this. She wanted to scream for her to stop. She could see the pain,

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Room To Grow

    Jason walked around the desk, sank into the seat and pressed play. Silence settled over the office, thick and expectant. The young doctors introduced themselves—the interns Anna had mentioned—before launching into their experience. Apparently they were on night duty and had sneaked off to an empty nurses station to record the video. Jason's eyes scanned their faces, reading the tension in their expressions, the restless energy in their movements. They were chaotic—talking over each other, rambling—which made it clear this was impulsive. Anna had made them feel comfortable enough to ask questions, to admit when they didn't know. And to keep going anyway. “She took us under her wing.” “Chief is selfless. She takes on shifts when others have emergencies.” “Remember when she'd pull a thirty-six-hour shift without breaking a sweat?” Jason's gaze zeroed in on the young doctor—Sierra, she'd introduced horse as—the one from the viral clip as others kept talking. She had been quiet sin

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Pickles, Ice Cream, and Tears

    It was dark by the time Anna dragged herself out of bed and into the bathroom. She filled the tub with warm water, threw in her oils and soap—and sank into it until only her face broke the surface. Exhausted, she lay there, unmoving, until the water turned cold. Then she stepped out and headed straight to her room, water droplets trailing behind her. She moved in a haze, her movements lethargic as she threw on a baggy t-shirt with shorts, then proceeded to apply her moisturizer. She stared at her reflection as she rubbed the face serum into her skin in slow circles. Her phone buzzed with a message somewhere on the nightstand, but she ignored it.Her bones were heavy. A splitting headache throbbed at the back of her head, and dizziness lingered behind her eyes. She pushed to her feet just as her bedroom door creaked open and Leah appeared. “You done crying in there or do you want snacks first?”Anna paused, her lips parting as she stared incredulously at Leah. Hadn't she left? Leah

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    A Glimpse Of Hope

    Jason told himself he wasn’t thinking about Anna. He told himself that several times before the lie stopped sounding convincing.He had spent the past few hours running through possible courses of action in his head, staring at his phone as though it might magically dial her number itself—all while Travis preached in front of the big screen. He'd barely heard a word, and that annoyed him to no end. “What do you think, Mr. Knight?” Travis had asked with an annoyingly wide smile after his rather… decent presentation. He'd cleared his throat, searched his brain, and could only come up with, “Thank you for the thorough analysis. We'll get back to you.” Him—Jason Knight, notorious for his unnerving presence in boardrooms and conferences—had said just that and then left. Ethan informing him that he'd recorded the presentation—as though he knew Jason hadn't been listening—only made the irritation under his skin worse. He was back at his office now, the floor-to-ceiling glass wall behi

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Anna De la Vegas

    The room was graveyard quiet, all eyes trained on them. Anna could feel the prickling gazes down her back but paid them no heed, her eyes fixed on Jason's back. Cole shook his head. “This is not the time nor the place, Anna. You should…” Jason turned around then, and everything faded into the bac

    Jason and Cole didn’t make it back until Jason was being called to the stage. Whatever had happened between them had drawn a visible line—Cole was rigid, unreadable, his easy smile gone; Jason tightly controlled in a way Anna had never seen before.Anna watched as he walked up to the podium with th

    Jason stiffened as his gaze locked onto Anna standing in the middle of his office. Her scent already hung in the air—the sterile bite of antiseptic softened by jasmine and a faint trace of lavender he knew too well. Dark glossy tendrils framed her delicate face, and the hand that rose to tuck them

    Anna's gaze snapped to the blonde woman, her brows furrowing. Darling? Did they know each other? Her eyes returned to Jason to find him still looking at her. Her lips twitched and she took a step forward; the woman had to be a colleague or one of those women who flirted with powerful men, hopin
