Ruined By My Brother-In-Law Back in His Orbit
Anna woke to the loud rumble of her stomach. She sat up with a groan, the duvet sliding to her waist. She pushed it aside and pressed a hand to her stomach as it grumbled again.She blinked down at her creased dress and bare feet before her gaze landed on the pins arranged on the bedside table. Her hand immediately went to her hair."Oh."Anna's hand lingered on her hair as her mind returned to that quiet moment on the patio, to the look in Jason's eyes as he'd said those words she never expected to hear from him.I care about you. More than I know what to do with.I just don't want to keep pretending you don't matter to me.A small, involuntary smile tugged at Anna's lips, her heart giving the same little flip it had on the patio last night. Her stomach rumbled again, as if to remind her exactly why she'd woken up."Words, Anna," she said to herself as she scooted to the edge of the bed. "They're just words. Don't be moved so—" she sucked in a breath when her bare feet touched the co
Ruined By My Brother-In-Law Because It's You
Jason felt entirely too aware of Anna's hand in his. Her palm was clammy, but he made no attempt to let go of it. Instead, he kept his fingers loosely wrapped around hers, afraid that even the slightest movement might make her pull away.But she didn't.Anna's hand remained in his as they wove through the quiet hallways toward the backyard. Neither of them spoke, their footsteps the only sound between them. Jason pushed open the glass door and stepped into the warm, humid evening air.Anna followed him outside without letting go of his hand. He guided her toward the patio table and pulled out one of the chairs."Sit," he said softly, his hand sliding from hers to her shoulder as she lowered herself into the chair.Anna smoothed her hands down the front of her dress. Even now, she held herself so rigidly that Jason frowned. He slipped a finger beneath her chin and tilted her face toward him, then held another finger beneath her nose."You breathing?"Anna narrowed her eyes and swatted
Ruined By My Brother-In-Law Crispy Edges
Jason slammed the door of his Porsche shut harder than necessary, then strode up the front steps.He'd left work later than he'd wanted to, and now, he wasn't sure he'd be able to catch Anna alone.The double doors opened on the second ring of the doorbell, revealing one of the staff members. Jason recognized her as the one who usually attended to Anna."Good evening, Mr. Knight. Welcome home," she said, stepping aside.Jason nodded and strode past her, only to stop in the courtyard when he noticed that neither Anna's balcony nor her bedroom was lit. He turned back to the woman and gestured toward the balcony."Has she gone to bed?"She shook her head. "Anna's having dinner with her family."Jason paused, turning fully to her. "Her family?" Then he remembered why Clara hadn't been able to meet with Elena that afternoon. "Her mother?""Yes, sir.""I see. Inside or outside?""Inside, sir.""Thank you." He was already striding toward the house.His steps slowed as he crossed the living r
Ruined By My Brother-In-Law Never Quite Enough
"Anna, you're home."Anna didn't look at Elena. She barely registered the concern in her voice. She stood frozen by the door, watching her mother uncross her legs and lean forward on the couch."C'mere, child. Sit." She patted the space beside her, the easy smile still on her face.Anna crossed the room slowly and sat beside her mother. Only after she'd settled into the seat did she realize what she'd done. She quickly set her shoes down and slipped her aching feet back into them. Then she straightened her spine, squared her shoulders, and tried to salvage her hair by running her fingers through it.Only then did she meet her mother's gaze, searching her face for a sign she couldn't quite identify. "I had no idea you were coming." She flattened her palm against her clothes instead of gripping them as she wanted to. "I—I could have—"Her mother reached out and brushed Anna's hair over her shoulder, and Anna resisted the urge to move away."Oh, don't be so tense, dear." She tucked Anna's
Ruined By My Brother-In-Law The Bombshell
The strange flutter in her stomach hadn't gone away. Neither had the uneasy knot in her chest, which had settled there after Jason leaned against her and whispered those words.I'm sorry.A chill ran down Anna's spine as his voice echoed in her ears, the memory of his warm breath against her neck almost unbearably vivid. She turned towards the car window and rolled it down, exhaling heavily as the morning air rushed in.He'd muttered those same words last night as he curled into himself. Had they been for her as well?Us, Anna.And yet, I keep coming back. Like an addict crawling back to the same thing he knows could destroy him, knowing exactly what it'll cost him and doing it anyway.Anna squeezed her eyes shut, willing his voice to recede from her head. Instead, she saw the anguish in his eyes as he spoke those words. It had broken her heart, leaving her aching to comfort him.For once, he hadn't brought up the pregnancy. He'd acknowledged the possibility of an us. It had taken eve
Ruined By My Brother-In-Law His Addiction
Jason glanced around the room with a frown, then back at the startled woman in his bed. "This was still my room the last time I checked."Wasn't he supposed to be the drunk one with a splitting headache here?He watched as she took in the room, the horror on her face deepening by the second. Her gaze dropped to the duvet still clutched in her hands like a lifeline before she shoved it away as though it had burned her.Her gaze flicked over him, then away so quickly that Jason almost missed it. "This...""Guess I should be the one asking that question." Jason stepped closer to the bed and tossed her phone onto it. She stared at it for a moment before her gaze returned to him. "Is there a particular reason you're in... my bed?"The question must have come across as an accusation, because the horror on Anna's face quickly gave way to a scowl."I'm not here to seduce you, if that's what you're worried about," she snapped.Jason's frown deepened. "I never said—""I'm just going to leave." A
Ruined By My Brother-In-Law Wounds We Can't Name
Anna wasn't answering his calls and he hated not knowing whether that meant she was avoiding him or just... indifferent. Hated wondering if it was a good or bad thing. It'd been days since they last saw each other; the last time they did, he had left her apartment like the world would come crashin

Anna had taken a few hours away from the crushing weight of her responsibilities—back-to-back trauma consults, ICU follow-ups, and paperwork she’d been postponing for days—and spent more than half of it just staring at Jason's name, fingers hovering. Knightmare. His number was still saved as that,

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 wo

Anna knew—if she said it out loud, all of it, there would be no going back. It was easier to pretend when you were only lying to yourself; once you brought someone else into the lie, it shatters around you. But Leah wasn't someone else—if there was anyone she could bring into this, it was her. Bes
