Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 175: The Evidence Lands
IRIS’S POVThe ceremony was still going on, and the guests were watching the couple at the altar while a string quartet played softly in the background. My attention kept going to the mansion because Kathryn had been gone for more than five minutes. I stayed where I was because I did not want to draw attention to myself that would only make things more complicated.. I was getting more and more uneasy because my instinct was telling me something was not right.The person doing the ceremony smiled warmly."Love is about choosing someone every day " he said. "It is about choosing them when things change."Some of the guests nodded their heads.Others were smiling.Jacob was standing next to Anna looking very confident and from afar he looked just like the successful businessman, people thought he was.It all looked perfect.It was not.My phone was vibrating in my jacket.I already knew who was calling me.It was Daniel.I stepped away from the guests and answered the phone right away.

KATHRYN’S POVThe applause at the start of the ceremony filled the estate, warm and happy. It made my chest feel heavy. I sat next to Iris in the front row trying to look calm because many people were watching us. My thoughts kept wandering. To Jacob and Anna who were now standing under the flower arch and to a little girl who should have been happy somewhere instead of being another mystery.The person leading the ceremony. Everyone turned to face the altar.Everyone except me.I leaned over to Iris.“I need to check something.”He didn’t look away away but he found my hand under the chair.“Kathryn.”“I’ll be careful.”His jaw got a little tighter.“This isn’t, about what Anna said is it?”“No.”I looked at him.“It’s about Celine.”He studied my face. Knew he couldn’t change my mind.“You know this house better than I do.”“I do.”“If something feels off…”“I’ll come back.”“You’ll call me.”“I promise.”He let go of my hand slowly.“Five minutes.”I smiled a little.“Bossy.”“I’v

KATHRYN’S POVThe door opened a little before Anna's assistant came in holding a tablet and wearing a headset."Miss Carter they are ready for you," she said.Anna smiled at her."The guests are seated the officiant is in position and your father is waiting outside," the assistant told her.Anna nodded."I will be there in a minute," she said.The assistant did not move."We are already two minutes behind schedule," she said."I said a minute," Anna replied.The assistant said, "Of course.” Then left, closing the door quietly.Anna looked at her bouquet."So," she said, trying to smile."I suppose this is goodbye," she added.I looked at Anna for a time."No " I said.She frowned."Not yet," I told her.I took a step forward. Gently took Anna's hands."Kathryn," she said, looking surprised."Please," I said, my voice calm."Just listen for thirty seconds," I asked her.Annas fingers tensed in my hands."I did not come here to ruin your wedding," I said."I know " she replied."I did n
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 172: Before the Altar
KATHRYN’S POVI knew the place we were going to before we even got there. The entrance was fancy with marble, big flower arrangements, and a line of expensive cars. It all seemed to say, "Look at how fancy we're," rather than "Welcome come on in." It was the kind of place Jacob would like because he always cared more about how things looked than if they were truly good.The driver stopped under the entrance. For a moment Iris and I just sat there.He looked at me."Do you still want to do this?" he asked.I smiled, even though my heart was beating fast."Ask me again after we eat some appetizers," I said.He chuckled."I promised I'd be here," he said."And you'll keep your promises " I said."I plan to," he replied.He got out of the car first. Walked around to my side. When he opened the door he didn't offer his hand because he thought I needed help. He offered it because we were in this together.I took his hand."Ready?" he asked.I took a breath."Ready " I said.The ballroom lob
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 171: What Comes With It
KATHRYN’S POVMost mornings started the way.I woke up before Iris. I made coffee. I liked my coffee better than his. He came into the kitchen. He pretended he didn't follow the smell.One morning he leaned on the doorway. He wore a T-shirt. He looked half awake."You make coffee for one."I looked back."I make coffee for someone who likes coffee.""So one."I laughed."Yes, one."He took my mug. He took a sip.His face changed."You put cinnamon in it.""I always put cinnamon in it.""You keep stealing it."He gave me back my mug."I hope you've changed."I shook my head."You don't want me to change.""No."He said it without thinking."I don't."Those two words made me feel warm inside. They were different, from promises. Promises try to guess the future. Those words just described now.We went shopping that afternoon. We reached for the strawberries.Our hands touched.He looked at me."I saw them first.""You didn't.""I have witnesses.""There are no witnesses."He pointed to a
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 170: To Go or Not
KATHRYN’S POVThe invitation was still on the coffee table that evening. Every time I walked by I would look at the cream envelope and then I would look away on purpose. I was not afraid of opening it because I already knew what it said. The paper was not about Jacob's future anymore. It was about mine.I found Iris on the balcony just after the sun went down. The city was shining with thousands of lights and the cool breeze was moving the sleeves of his shirt. He was resting his hands on the railing. It seemed like he had been standing there for a while."You have been thinking " I said.He looked at me. Smiled a little."I got caught " he said.I stood beside him."So did I " I said.We both knew what the other person meant. The invitation was with us in every room even though it did not move.I crossed my arms over my chest."We cannot avoid talking about this " I said."No " he said.He turned to face me completely."We probably should not " he said.For a moment we did not say an

KATHRYN POVMy eyes went to Celine and the second she saw me her face lit up. “Mommy," she said. Her voice had a complaint mixed with excitement. "I’ve been waiting for you.”I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. I walked toward her with a smile. “I didn’t know I was taking that long

JACOB POVThe silence on the line was really long. I could almost hear Michael thinking. "You have got to be kidding me," Michael finally said, his voice lower now. That told me I had crossed into something real.I let out a breath, controlled. Nothing inside me felt controlled anymore."If I was
