ANNA POV

I whispered to Rita to hold on.

She stopped walking one eyebrow going up like she knew I was going to say something she did not need to hear.

"What," she asked, not saying it out loud.

I got closer to her my voice softer, as the walls might hear me.

"What if it's Jacob?" I said.

Rita looked at me gave me that slow tired look she gives me when she thinks I am thinking too much.

"And how do we know," she whispered back getting closer to me "if you will not let me open the door?"

I said.Rita looked at me gave me that slow tired look she gives me when she thinks I am thinking too much."And how do we know," she whispered back getting closer to me "if you will not let me open the door?"Before I could say anything she smiled a little walked past me and went to the door like she had decided she was not afraid anymore.There was another knock, this time.Rita opened the door.Everything in me stopped.Mrs. Mayers was standing there.Jacob's mother.She was not loud or dramatic. She was not with guards or lawyers like I thought she would be.She was just standing there holding a bag and looking at me in a way I did not understand. My body reacted before my brain did. I sat up straight lik

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 120: Hiding in Plain Sight

    ANNA POVFor the time in what felt like weeks, my apartment was quiet enough that I could hear myself think. It was a luxury I hadn't realized I was missing.I was curled up on Rita's couch with a blanket over my legs. A finished cup of coffee sat on the table in front of me. The afternoon sunlight streamed through the windows. It softened the edges but it wasn't enough to erase everything that had happened recently.At least for a while.Rita was sitting across from me. She had her feet tucked beneath her. She was scrolling through her phone. Then she tossed it aside. Looked at me. I immediately felt suspicious.That look usually meant she was about to ask a question I didn't want to answer.Enough she did."Okay," she said, folding her arms across her chest. "How long are you planning to hide in my apartment?"I narrowed my eyes."I am not hiding," I said.Rita laughed hard she nearly choked."Anna you've been living here for days,” she said."I am visiting," I said."You’re hiding

    KATHRYN POVIris did not argue.He just looked at me like he was trying to understand if I was protecting myself or hurting both of us.Finally, he nodded."Alright, " he said quietly. "I hear you."That was it.No fight. No argument. Just acceptance.That made me feel weird because I am used to fighting.Being heard without a fight. That is something I do not know how to deal with.Iris reached for his jacket not in a hurry, steady."I will leave you to it then," he said.I did not move. I did not stop him.He touched the handle of the door and paused mid-sentence.I cut my voice sharper than I intended. It landed in the space between us like something thrown.“Don’t," I said. My voice came out lower than angry but heavier. "Don’t say anything. Just leave it.”He paused. One hand was still on his jacket. His body had agreed to leave before his mind caught up.“That’s not what I’m doing," he replied. He was calm. Edged now. "Kathryn I’m not leaving until you actually talk to me.”The

    KATHRYN POVI came home to my penthouse expecting it to be quiet you know that kind of silence that happens after a day of pretending I have my life together.As soon as the elevator doors opened I felt it. That change in the air was really something. It was like someone had been in my space rearranging things. Without actually touching anything.I did not even need to go all the way to see Iris. He was sitting there in the middle of my life like he owned the place.Iris was waiting, with his hands folded and his eyes on me as soon as I walked in."What are you doing here?" I asked Iris trying to sound calm. I could hear the edge in my voice when I talked to him. "This is not your space anymore " I told Iris.Iris did not react, which is what he usually does. Iris waits for me to calm down before he says anything to me. It is like Iris knows that when I am quiet I am more honest, with Iris."I just wanted to make sure you got what I sent you " Iris said quietly to me as if it were no

    KATHRYN POVI checked the clock.9:03 PM.I walked to the door frowning.A courier was standing outside with an envelope."Kathryn Hale?" he asked."Yes," I said.He gave it to me."Signature please," he said.A minute later I was back in the kitchen looking at the package.My stomach felt funny when I saw who sent it.It was from Mayer Legal Group.I opened it away.The file inside was really big.It was full of papers.There were lots of documents, like evidence, witness statements, financial records, investigator reports, custody assessments, and legal strategies.I saw every document and every plan and every piece of work that had been done.There was a letter on top.It was one page.I picked it up. Read it.The message was short.It said that the entire case file now belongs to me.I have control over all the supporting materials, evidence, and documents.There are no conditions or obligations or requests.It did not mention marriage.Then I looked at all the paperwork, on the k

    KATHRYN POVI see something change in his face.Not anger. Not even shock.Something quieter. Like a hit without a sound.I keep going. Because stopping would make me feel it.Feeling it would ruin everything I am trying to create."I never should have let it matter," My voice gets a bit tight on the last word but I make it steady again. "It didn't."That is the lie.The one I pick carefully.Not because it is completely true.Because it is needed.The room feels colder now even though nothing has changed.Only the space between us has."I feel nothing," I say finally, and I almost believe it when I say it out loud because my voice is so steady it tricks me for a second. "Not about this. Not about you. Not, about any of it."A pause.My throat gets tight. I swallow it."I want my daughter,” This part is not a lie. It keeps me grounded. "I want to leave."Silence again.He doesn't interrupt."I do not want this life anymore," I say, my voice is quieter now. It is still firm.I do not w
