Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 32: Not Just a Friend
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 her.That question wasn’t just polite, It was personal.She smiled immediately. Her lips curved easily. Like there was no space between them. Before I could really understand what was happening…She stepped forward and hugged him really tight.Not just a quick greeting. A real hug. Her arms were all around him.I stood there, holding the shopping bags in one hand. My posture was steady. My thoughts weren’t. Because I didn’t know what I was supposed to feel. I knew something felt odd.I didn’t like that.They pulled apart after a moment. She didn’t step back far. The space between them was still too familiar.That was when Iris finally remembered I was there.“Kathryn,” he said. He turned a li
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 31: Peace I Didn't Trust
KATHRYN POVA sales assistant walked in first. She looked polite. Also a little surprised. It was like she had walked into something she was not ready for. Her eyes moved quickly between us before she calmed down."Oh sorry " she said away. She sounded professional but sorry. She looked down a little. "I did not realize you were still... I can come back later."I took a breath and stepped back from Iris a little. I gave the assistant a nod to make her feel better."It is fine " I said calmly. My voice was softer now almost normal. "You can come in."Just saying that seemed to make the room feel better.The assistant waited for a second before walking all the way in. Another staff member came in behind her pushing a rack of clothes that looked really nice. The fabrics were moving softly as they walked.Just like that the room changed.The tension did not go away. It just changed.I walked over to the rack. Touched the fabrics. It helped me breathe again. For the first time in a while I
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 30: The Line I Shouldn't Cross
KATHRYN POVI held the file tightly in my hand. I made sure my face did not show anything.The man standing next to me my lawyer saw that something was different about me. He noticed it even if he did not fully understand what it was."Is everything okay Mrs. Kathryn?" he asked me. I could tell he was being careful with his words. He could sense that something was not right.I did not look at him. My attention was already on Iris. He was standing there watching me closely."We will talk about this later " I said quietly. My voice was steady. My mind was already thinking about what I needed to do. "Please send me the updated papers before the end of the day."My lawyer was not sure about this. He did not like it when things were interrupted, especially when they were important.. He nodded anyway."Of course " he said. He started to gather his things and step away. I could tell he was curious. He left anyway.Then it was Iris and me."What was that?" he asked. His voice was calm.I look
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 29: Loyalty Tested in Quiet Rooms
IRIS POVThe door had just closed behind Anna when the atmosphere in the room changed again. Tension was still there, it just changed into something more dangerous.Mr. Kai was the first to speak up. "Is everything alright?" he asked, looking at the door for a second before turning to me. He had noticed the noise Anna made when she left.I slowly fixed my cuff making sure I looked calm. "Everything is fine, " I said calmly, looking at him. "Sometimes people just do not know where they belong."My words were simple. They meant a lot. They were not just about Anna.I gestured to the chairs in front of me. "Please take a seat," I said politely and walked back to my desk. They both sat down. "I will not take up much of your time," I said, looking at my watch. "I have a meeting with my lawyer soon, and I'd like to quickly thank you both for your support," I added, my voice a little softer.Mr. Kai nodded too quickly. That made me want to watch him closely."You can count on us," he said,
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 28: Anna’s Sudden Threat
IRIS POVAnna took a step further into the room. Her heels made no sound on the floor. She looked around my office for a moment before her eyes came back to me."You have changed things around here quickly,” she said. Her tone was a statement, not like she was trying to compliment me. She was not here to just talk casually.I leaned back a little against the desk, crossed my arms and really stared at her. "Things needed to be changed," I stated while my voice was steady. She nodded. It was like she knew I would say that. I let the silence go on for a bit. I wanted her to know I was not there to talk about things that were not important."So,” I said after a while. My tone was a little different now and more direct. "What was so important that it could not wait?"Her face changed, "You know this is not a visit," she said. Her voice was a little lower now, while being more careful with her words. "You know I would not come here unless it had something to do with you."I kept looking a
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 27: The Power Play
IRIS POVMr. Kai let out a breath, his hand resting against his chin as he thought about it."That is a good move,” he said slowly and you could tell he was not arguing with it. He was just acknowledging how big of a deal it was.Mrs. Adeline leaned forward a little, her eyes sharp now looking at me closely. “What if he says no?" she asked, because she was not silly enough to think this would be easy.I looked back at her."What about the law?" someone else asked from the side, being careful but also interested."I will take care of that,” I stated.The room was quiet for a moment, and more importantly they were trying to understand where I stood on this.I leaned back in my chair again looking relaxed but also strong because this was not about being bossy. It was about being sure."And now,” I added, my voice a little softer but also sharper, "we need to decide what kind of company we want to be, from now on."I looked around the table one time because moments like these needed to be
