Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 166: Rediscovering
KATHRYN’S POVThe days that followed were quiet and gentle. Neither of us tried to force anything. I slowly realized that healing doesn't always announce itself with moments. It often arrives quietly disguised as mornings and familiar conversations.Every day reminded me that Iris and I weren’t trying to be the people we used to be. This made our time together feel honest. We were learning to love who the other had become, and mourning who we had lost.Breakfast became our part of the day. We both lingered over coffee long after the food was gone. Neither of us wanted to rush into the noise of real life. One morning I reached for the slice of toast at the same time Iris did. Our hands bumped together.He looked at me with disappointment."You stole my breakfast."I laughed my fingers still touching his."I touched it first.""That's not how it works.""It absolutely does."He narrowed his eyes then leaned back in his chair."I knew inviting you to stay would lead to food theft."I tor
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 36: Jealous and Territorial
JACOB POVThe door slammed open behind me before I could even take two steps forward. Anna walked in like she owned the place, her heels clicking on the floor with annoying sounds. I turned to face her slowly."What was that there?" I asked her, my voice was low. Had an edge to it. "Why can't you
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 35: One Step Ahead
IRIS POVBy the time I reached my room everything that had happened started to feel heavy on my body. I had kept my cool during all the confrontations, but my mind just wouldn't calm down. I closed the door behind me carefully then loosened my collar slowly because I didn't need to carry all that t

Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 33: Silence Between Father and Daughter
KATHRYN POVI stepped out of the car first. My heels hit the ground with a rhythm that matched the control I forced into my breathing. Anna was the first to react of course. Silence had never been her strength. Soon as her eyes landed on us her lips curved into something that looked like amusement
