KATHRYN POV

I 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.

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 178: At Peace

    KATHRYN’S POVThe kiss lingered for a second before I eased back. His hand was still warm against my cheek. His thumb brushed away a tear I hadn’t realized had escaped. His eyes searched mine with concentration instead of satisfaction. He smiled first.. The smile faded almost immediately.“What is it?" he asked softly. "Kathryn… what’s wrong?”I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. I had been ready to thank him. Instead, something inside me cracked.He frowned. Not in frustration. Concern.“Hey." His voice dropped. It became impossibly gentle. "Talk to me.”“I…" The word dissolved into a broken breath. Tears spilled over before I could stop them. I blinked rapidly. "No." I laughed once through my tears. "This is ridiculous." “It isn’t.”“I don’t even know why I’m crying. You don’t have to know." He reached for my hand. He didn’t pull me into another hug. He left me room to breathe. He reminded me I wasn’t standing there alone. "I’ve got you.”That simple sentence undid me more complete

    KATHRYN’S POVThe drive back to the penthouse was pretty quiet. The city outside was moving as usual with traffic lights, horns, and people rushing to their lives, which weren't affected by what happened today. Inside the car, it felt really still. Kathryn sat next to me with one hand on her lap staring out at the city. I knew that feeling that comes after surviving something not after finding peace.We didn't turn on the radio.We didn't feel like talking.Some days you just need to talk.Days you just need a safe place to stop trying so hard.When we got to the penthouse Kathryn went out first. She unlocked the door slowly.The apartment was just like we left it that morning.The throw blanket was still on the sofa.Two coffee mugs were still in the sink.A book she was reading was still on the side table with a receipt marking the page.Nothing inside the apartment knew that the world had changed."I'll make tea."My voice was quieter than usual.She looked at me. Nodded a little.

Watched.She did not try to talk to the officers.She did not run to Jacob.She did not scream that they had the person.She just watched as her son was taken away.My chest felt tight.That was not the face of someone who did not believe what was happening.It was the face of someone who had finally accepted what was happening. It was too late.Jacob saw her too."Mom!" he shouted.The sound of his voice filled the room."Mom tell them!" he said.She looked up.For one second he waited hopefully.Everyone in the room waited.Mrs. Mayers opened her mouth.Then she closed it again.More tears fell down her face."I am sorry..." she said. Her voice was barely loud enough to hear."I am so sorry " she said again.Jacob looked at her like she had hurt him."No " he said.He was breathing fast."No do not do this," he said.She did not move.The officers kept walking.Ja

    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.

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
