The next day was a blur… until that sharp ding of the doorbell.

It was a Sunday, and Anna was supposed to be on shift. But she'd stayed up late watching movies—or rather, pretending to, only to wake up with a headache.

So, she'd forced herself to eat, took an aspirin, and actually called in sick. The nurse at the desk had turned out to be Abigail, and she'd sounded suspicious at first.

Then she'd tried to clarify a couple times as though Anna would change her mind any second. When Anna confi

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Girls, Breakfast, and Emotional

    Anna woke to the smell of butter and something burning slightly. For a second, disorientation held her still against the couch cushions. Then her lower back protested as she pushed herself upright and everything from yesterday came rushing back at once.The exchange with Maya, passing out, Elena finding out about the baby, and drifting off to sleep on her shoulder right there on the couch. God.Anna dragged a hand over her face with a groan.“You’re alive.” Leah’s voice floated in from the kitchen.Anna blinked toward it to find Leah standing by the stove in one of Anna's oversized shirts while Elena sat at the island scrolling through something on her phone.Both women looked up immediately, and Anna instantly regretted waking up.“You should still be sleeping,” Elena said carefully, like she wasn’t sure where they stood yet.“I’m fine.”Leah snorted loudly. “Drink every time Anna says she’s fine and suddenly everyone dies of alcohol poisoning.”Anna glared weakly, her gaze flicking

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Completely Alone

    Anna had barely slept last night. She barely remembered Leah helping her to the couch, or Helen knocking softly at some point during the night. Olivia had come too, hovering awkwardly behind her mother with worry written all over her face while Anna sat there emotionally flayed open, and exhausted.“Do you need anything, sweetheart?” Helen had asked gently.Anna had wanted to say yes; instead, she'd shaken her head. Olivia looked like she wanted to hug her, and Anna pretended not to notice. Elena never came back.That hurt more than Anna wanted to admit, especially after the raw words they’d exchanged. Everything had gone quiet sometime after three in the morning, but sleep still eluded her. Every time Anna closed her eyes, she saw Elena again. Heard her own voice cracking in the hallway. Felt the humiliation of falling apart in front of everyone.The sun had barely risen by the time she drifted off into sleep. By the time Anna dragged herself off the couch and toward the shower in

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Lost Ground

    Zürich didn’t breathe down your neck. It didn’t demand anything from you. It didn’t hold onto things longer than it should. It moved forward… just like him.Or at least, just like Jason had trained himself to be.The floor-to-ceiling windows in his hotel suite overlooked the Limmat, its water cutting clean through the city. Evening had settled in, lights flickering on one by one along the banks, their reflections stretching across the darkening water. He stood there for a moment longer than necessary, a glass of Macallan in hand, untouched.He was supposed to have met the board yesterday morning—secure the first position before competitors closed in—but he hadn't been able to get his head in the right space. His insomnia had worsened over the past few days, and when he did sleep, he was tormented by different versions of that night everything changed—each one worse than the last. It left him irritatingly shaken and hollow when he snapped awake. It didn’t help either that during his w

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    I Win

    Elena didn’t answer right away. She just stood there, arms folded, eyes scanning Anna like she was trying to force something into place that wouldn't fit.Anna bristled against her gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “You tell me,” she said finally. “You’ve been avoiding me for days. Leah says you're not okay, and you look like the world turned on you.”Anna exhaled. “I said I wasn't ready to talk, Elena.”“I'm your sister. You don’t get to shut me out.” “I don't feel like talking to you!” Anna snapped, scooting to the edge of the couch. She pressed her palms to her eyes. “Do you know what I've been dealing with all day? I'm exhausted.” Elena didn't back down. She paced a step, then another, tension coiling in her movements, her eyes sharp with everything she wasn’t saying and everything she was about to.“Is this about Mum?” “Let it be, Elena.” “Why do you suddenly have a problem with me talking to her, Anna?”Anna sank back into the couch, pressing her fingers to her t

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Out Of Place

    It had been four days since that day. Since everything ended between Anna and Jason, since she had confirmed she was carrying his child. She’d stayed away from work despite her suspension being lifted, trying—and failing—to be her old self.She had told Elena she wasn’t ready to talk. She told Leah she was okay on her own, and meant it—or at least, she meant that she couldn’t handle more questions. She had kept her distance from Helen and Olivia, showing up briefly before retreating back into her apartment. She hadn’t decided if she would let Dr. Alvarez be her obstetrician, and the thought of deleting Jason’s number was still a battle she avoided. She had read through their old chats, stopping herself from sending a message a hundred times. Carrying his child felt foreign, a constant, unrelenting reminder. And she hated the effects—the nausea, the tenderness, the dizzy spells no one at the hospital could see.Now she was back at work, and she was certain that had only made things wo

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    He Took Everything

    Anna woke slowly. She felt the weight of her limbs first, then the quiet around her. It pressed in—no footsteps, no voices overlapping. Just the faint hum of something mechanical and the soft rustle of fabric when she shifted.Her brows pulled together slightly. Her lashes fluttered open, her vision blurry before it steadied. White ceiling, fluorescent lights dimmed low—a hospital room.Right, of course.A dull ache settled behind her eyes as she tried to move. Her body felt heavy, like it had been wrung out and left to dry.“You’re awake.”Anna turned her head slightly to the side. Leah's chair scraped softly as she leaned forward, brows drawn tight, lips pressed thin, eyes scanning her like she was trying to make sure everything was still there. Relief flashed across her face but it didn’t soften her expression completely. It sat there, tight around the edges.“What… time is it?” she tried to ask, but her voice came out rough, barely there.“Slowly,” Leah instructed as she helped he

    Dark red? Pink? They say red is dangerous and seductive. That's the vibe she was supposed to be going for, right? Anna stared at her reflection. Her gown clung to her curves like sin and silk—black, halter-necked, its plunging neckline a deliberate rebellion against reason. The fabric hugged he

    Anna wanted to pull her hair out whenever she remembered last night.Was she so touch-starved that a single night of sex messed this badly with her head?Anna sighed heavily. Her feet scuffed as she walked through the corridor, a hand shoved deep in her scrub, a chart in the other. She'd taken mor

    Every part of her ached. Anna groaned, rubbing her shoulders as she walked through the resident lounge. Her shift had ended a couple hours ago, but she'd stayed back to clear some paperwork. She wasn't on the night shift and there was nothing else she was more grateful for. She yawned, pulled th

    Unknown number: Hope the food was good. You didn’t throw it out, did you? I'll have a bigger bouquet ready tonight, consider it an apology for last night. Thought you'd be home. See you tonight, Doc.Anna's stomach dropped. The profile picture was a gold monogram of his initials—JK—the same as the
