Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 165: Letting Go Together
IRIS’S POVThe room settled into a silence after Kathryn finished speaking. It no longer felt strained. Her words had emptied years of hurt onto the table between us. I realized the hardest part of tonight hadn’t been hearing her apology. It had been watching how much blame she still carried for believing the person.I wrapped both hands around my mug. The tea had since gone cold. I studied Kathryn sitting across from me. Her shoulders looked lighter. There was still a weariness in her eyes that no single conversation could erase.She had apologized. Now it was my turn to tell her everything."I think," I began quietly choosing each word with care, "you deserve to hear my side of this story. Not because I was hoping you could agree with it. Not because I'm trying to defend myself. Because there are still parts of those years that you've never seen."Kathryn lifted her eyes to mine. She gave a nod."I'm listening."Her answer was simple. It carried something I hadn't felt from her in y
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 164: Returning
KATHRYN’S POVThe knock on the door was soft.For a moment Iris and I just stood there in silence. I thought maybe he was not home but then I heard the lock turn and the door opened.Iris was standing there wearing a dark sweater with the sleeves pushed up to his forearms and his face changed the moment he saw me. I saw surprise, then relief,. It did not last long. He just looked at me like he had hoped I would come. He did not think I actually would.Neither Iris nor I said anything for a while.The silence was not uncomfortable, even though it felt like a long time since we last talked.I had to swallow before I could say anything."I owe Iris an apology and it is probably going to take more than one conversation " I said.Iris kept looking at me for another moment. I looked for anger or disappointment in his eyes but I did not see any of that. Instead, he stepped back. Held the door open."Come in " he said quietly.That was all he said.No accusations.No demands.No reminder of w
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 163: Waiting Without Waiting
IRIS’S POVThe morning after Kathryn left I woke up before sunrise. I really wanted to check my phone, but I stopped myself. I had decided that if I loved Kathryn I had to respect her space.The apartment was quiet except for cars driving by outside. It was nice because it gave me something to focus on.I made coffee answered emails and looked over papers from my team. Every page reminded me that Jacob was running out of time. I kept checking my phone.It didn't ring.When I saw Kathryn's name on the screen I picked it up then put it down without unlocking it.I said to myself "No you asked for time. Kathryn deserves time."Saying it out loud made it sound more convincing. It helped me not make a mistake that I would regret.The day started to feel more normal. I just went with it.I had two meetings, signed contracts, and looked over reports. Work stopped me from thinking about everything all the time.Around noon my assistant came in with a folder."Everything has been submitted," s
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 162: One Memory at a Time
I got to the hotel and I checked in. Gave them a name. I did not really hear what the receptionist was saying because it all sounded far away. I got into the elevator. It took me to the sixth floor. When the doors opened I walked down the hallway to my room.It was quiet inside.The silence felt familiar.I closed the door. Leaned against it. I let out a breath that I had been holding since I left Iris.There were no voices.There were no accusations.There were no memories attached to the things in the room.The room was plain. It had colored walls and a neat bed. The window looked out over the city. The city was still moving. It was like nothing had happened.I took off my shoes. Sat on the bed. I did not turn on the television."I need to think," I said to myself.This was not something that I could fix with tears.I had been surviving by breaking down problems into pieces. If my whole past had just changed, then I needed to look at it that way.One memory at a time.One thing I th
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 161: What Do I Do With This Love?
KATHRYN’S POVA laugh came out of me. It was shaky. Then I started crying. I covered my mouth because I could not stop making noise."Oh, God…"I could barely say the words."Oh, God…"I kept shaking my head. Tears made everything blurry."I hated you."The words just came out."I hated you for years, Iris."My voice was cracking. I had to hold onto the kitchen island to stay upright."I told myself every day that you chose yourself over us. Every time I thought about our wedding day I thought that loving you was the mistake I ever made."Another tear fell my face."That was not true."I closed my eyes tight. Opening them made the truth hurt more."I based my healing process on a lie."Iris did not say anything. He just stood there. His quiet patience hurt more than if he had tried to defend himself."I'm sorry," he said. His voice was low and steady."I'm sorry you had to carry that burden because of my silence."I looked up at him quickly."No."I shook my head again."Do not apolog
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 160: Love Chose Courage
IRIS’S POVKathryn's tears would not. Every time she tried to wipe them away more came. She put her head in her hands and her shoulders shook with a kind of tiredness that sleep could not fix. Watching her like this hurt me more than all the things I found out about Jacob because even though we had proof of what he did it could not erase the years he took from her.I went closer to her. I did not say anything right away. I gave her space to breathe because I learned that when people are sad they need time to feel their emotions. After a while, I put my hand on the table between us so she could decide whether she wanted me to comfort her."Kathryn," I said, "look at me."She did not.Another tear fell from her eye onto the table. Her voice was shaky. "I do not know what is real anymore," she said. Those words felt heavy between us.She laughed,. It was not a happy laugh. It was a broken sound. "For years I asked myself what I did wrong," she said. "I blamed myself for losing you. Then I

KATHRYN POV“Iris," she said with a softer voice now. It was still clear. Like she had every right to say his name that way.Then.His face changed a little. “Margaret," he said. This time his tone was familiar. Like they had known each other for a long time. "What have you been up to?” he asked h
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 6: Unwelcome Return
KATHRYN POVFor a second I couldn't breathe. My eyes were on Iris. I was trying to get my head around what I was hearing and what I was seeing."What do you think belongs to you?" Jacob asked in a really sharp tone. His voice sounded cold. I could hear anger underneath.I didn't wait for Iris to an

KATHRYN POV The image of her face popped into my mind fast; Her soft voice that said, "Mama," every morning was still fresh in my mind. My chest felt tight all of a sudden. I made myself look up and meet Jacobs' eyes. "You're bluffing," I said to him. "The court would never believe you, I went to

KATHRYN POVThe shock hit me so hard that I sat up with a loud gasp. My sudden movement jerked his arm away from my waist.I quickly moved backward on the bed like it was on fire holding the shirt I was wearing. “What the hell?!" My voice cracked, and that woke him up immediately.Iris groaned qui
