Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 129: An Unfinished Goodbye
KATHRYN POVThe lobby was cooler than I thought. The air helped a bit. My heels made a lot of noise on the floor. I was glad for the noise. It distracted me from my thoughts.Iris walked beside me without saying a word.He led me out of the lobby and into the parking garage. He found my car before I did. Maybe he already knew where it was. That thought made me feel uneasy.He stopped at the passenger door."I'll drive you to the penthouse," he said. It sounded like a fact, not a suggestion. He said it calmly like it was already decided.I looked at him.I wanted to say no. I tried to find the words. They didn't come out.Got in.The door closed. The car was quiet and dim. I sat still while he got in on the driver's side. I stared ahead hands in my lap trying to look calm.I wasn't calm.The engine started. He pulled out of the garage slowly.I watched the garage go by outside the window. Level after level. It was all grey and still.Then I caught a glimpse of myself in the side mirror
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 128: One Kiss Too Late
KATHRYN POVHe stepped in but did not rush. He moved with control like he already knew what this moment would be.Anna's eyes went to him. Shock broke through her anger like a crack in glass.“What…" she started to say. She couldn't finish.Iris already had her. His grip on her wrist was steady not aggressive. Firm enough to stop things from getting out of hand. It wasn't dramatic; it was precise. As he had stepped into a situation he understood better than anyoneFor a second no one moved.Then the rooftop erupted into attention.Phones came up.People who had been pretending not to watch stopped pretending.Whispers spread fast low and urgent. The crowd had been waiting for a reason to confirm what they suspected was important.“That’s Iris…”“No way he’s here…”“What is going on between them?”I felt the shift away. From conflict to public exposure.That was when I understood the situation wasn't mine anymore.I looked at Iris first. My voice cut through the noise.“What are you do
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 127: Three Hearts, One Breaking Point
KATHRYN POVThe city had come to a standstill watching to see what would break Jacob, me, or the fragile control he thought he still had over me.I looked at Jacob, my face firm. I knew that if I showed any weakness it would be bad. I was not going to make that mistake"I am going to win this case,” I said to Jacob, my voice steady. I was still really upset inside. I did not want him to know that. "I will win it with or without Jacobs help. Nothing Jacob says tonight is going to change that."Jacob's eyes narrowed a little, like he was trying to get used to the way I was acting. I was being openly defiant. Jacob did not like it."You are making this harder than it needs to be," Jacob said calmly. He still thought he was in charge. "I came here to fix this not to fight you."When Jacob said the word "fix" it really got to me. I let out a laugh. It was not funny. I shook my head slowly. Stepped back from Jacob. I wanted to create some space between us so I could protect myself."Do not

ANNA POVI did not answer away because if I opened my mouth I knew it would come out wrong too fast too broken too angry. Instead, I grabbed the keys, the metal cold against my palm, and that coldness made everything inside me feel worse not better.Rita reached me before I turned."Do not do this, " she said, grabbing my wrist lightly not forceful but firm enough to stop me from slipping past her. "You are emotional now Anna you do not make decisions like this when you are emotional.""This is not emotions, " I cut in, my voice sharper than I intended, because even hearing the word made my chest tighten. "This is clarity. I am done being played. Done watching things happen around me like I'm some background character in my own life, Anna's life."Her eyes narrowed slightly concern pulling at her expression as if she was trying to figure out how far I had already gone in my mind, Anna's mind."Played by who?" she asked quietly though she already knew the answer was not going to calm a
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 125: The Drive She Swore She Wouldn’t Take
JACOB POVThe laughter was still in the room like a feeling when Rita leaned back on the couch. She had her plate in one hand. She was using a funny voice like she was pretending to be Mrs Mayers. Rita was acting like she was very important like she owned the world."You should come home Anna," Rita said, as if she were drinking tea from a cup that was not there. "It is time. You need to be taken care of " and then she started laughing. She was laughing so hard that she was almost choking.I laughed with her not because it was super funny. It just felt good to laugh. For a minute I could forget about Jacob, Kathryn, and everyone else who was trying to tell me what to do."You are bad " I said, shaking my head as I reached for my glass. My voice was lighter than it had been in a long time.Rita just waved her hand still smiling. Then she leaned forward looking serious all of a sudden even though her eyes were still sparkling with humor."They all deserve to be treated the way they trea
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 124: Goodbye Without Saying Goodbye
JACOB POVThe rooftop bar looked really different at night. It was like the city below was quieter so the people here could pretend their problems were not so bad. I was already there when Kathryn got there. I was sitting near the edge where the wind was blowing. I kept my drink steady while I waited to see if Kathryn would actually show up.I told myself I did not expect anything from her. My eyes kept looking at the entrance like I was waiting for her to come in. Part of me already knew she would show up even if she was still mad at me.Then I heard her voice behind me. "You are early " she said. Her voice was clear and calm. When I turned around I saw her standing there like she did not have a problem on her mind even though I knew she did.I stood up slowly so she could see me. I let the space between us feel like it was on purpose, not an accident. I looked at Kathryn for a moment before I said anything. "You look good Kathryn," I said calmly because I knew she still liked it wh
