KATHRYN POV

I stood there for a bit even after he finished talking because saying nothing felt safer than saying something I might regret. My chest was moving up and down slowly. I was trying to stay calm even though I was still feeling really scared and confused inside. When I finally spoke I made sure my voice was steady because I did not want to lose control of my emotions.

    KATHRYN POVI stood there for a bit even after he finished talking because saying nothing felt safer than saying something I might regret. My chest was moving up and down slowly. I was trying to stay calm even though I was still feeling really scared and confused inside. When I finally spoke I made sure my voice was steady because I did not want to lose control of my emotions.“I am not doing anything " I said, looking at him for a second before looking away. " Now I just need to stay quiet Iris. The more I react the more people will notice me. That is exactly what I do not want.”He did not move away from me. Being so close to him was making it hard for me to think clearly. Iris always stood close to me when he wanted me to be honest. His fingers were holding my hands a bit tighter like he was trying to keep me grounded but part of me was not sure if I wanted to be grounded or set free.“Kathryn " he said, his voice now "you do not have to deal with this by yourself. I am here for yo

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 54: Trust Was the Hardest Choice

    KATHRYN POVMy eyes landed on Iris and the anger that had risen inside me did not disappear,. It shifted into something more complicated the moment I realized who it was.Iris was standing in front of me and I could feel my heart beating fast."Iris?" I said, my voice still edged with anger because relief did not come the way it should have and confusion filled the space instead. I was not sure what to do.He did not answer away and before I could step back or create distance he pulled me closer his grip firm but not rough as if he was trying to steady me rather than stop me. The closeness caught me off guard and for a second I could not tell if I should push Iris away or just stand still and let the moment settle. I felt like I was stuck."What is wrong with you Kathryn?" Iris asked, his voice low but urgent, and the way he said my name made it clear this was not a concern. "You are not telling me something. You have been acting off since last night so who are you chasing and why are

    KATHRYN POVThere was a pause. It was brief. It felt heavy. Even the whispers stopped. For the time since Jacob walked in his face changed in a way that he could not control.It was not anger that I saw on his face. It was something. It was closer to disbelief.. That was enough to make me feel like something was about to happen."Watch your mouth " Jacob said quietly.. His voice was different now. It was less certain. Less dominant."I have been watching it for a long time already " I said without waiting.. I slowly pulled my chin out of his grip. I did this on purpose. I did not want that moment to define me.When I did this it broke the illusion of control that Jacob had. I saw his hand linger in the air for a second before he dropped it. The tension in the room did not go away. It just changed. It became sharper. More exposed.Before Jacob could move again Iris moved. He did not rush. He did not make a deal out of it.. He did it on purpose.. When he stood between us it was clear w

    KATHRYN POVHe stood at the entrance like a storm that had already broken his expression tight with anger that Jacob wasn't hiding and the way Jacob's presence filled the space made it impossible for anyone to ignore what was about to happen.Whispers started immediately low and quick because this wasn't just another office moment anymore. This was something people would talk about long after it ended.Iris stopped walking behind me. When I glanced back briefly I saw the shift in Jacob too. Not fear, not hesitation, but awareness as if Jacob had been expecting this confrontation to come eventually.Jacob didn't wait and the moment his eyes locked onto Iris the tension snapped into somethingJacob said "You've gone far " his voice was controlled but carrying enough force to make it clear that control was hanging by a thread.The words weren't loud. They didn't need to be because everything about Jacob amplified their weight.Iris let out a laugh and the sound didn't match the tension i

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 51: Ownership Without Permission

    KATHRYN POVThe door opened without hesitation, and the moment I saw Iris step in, something inside me tightened, because I had already started to think his presence meant trouble, not comfort.Iris did not. The way he closed the door behind him very quietly made it feel less like a visit and more like a decision that was already made.For a second neither of us said a word. That silence meant more than any greeting could have because everything between us had changed without either of us talking about it directly.Iris moved a step closer his face calm in a way that felt like he was trying to be calm. Then he asked, "How are you?"The question sounded simple. There was something beneath it that made me pause because it did not feel like he was really asking. It felt like he was trying to figure something out."I am fine, " I replied, keeping my tone steady even though I was not. I leaned slightly against my desk to feel more grounded.Iris watched me for a moment longer than necessar

    KATHRYN POVThe sound of my name Kathryn cut through everything. It made my chest tighten because nothing about today had come without consequence.“Kathryn!" the voice called again this time. When I finally turned, I saw Helen pushing through the hallway. Her breath was uneven. Her composure was barely held together.I just watched her approach for a second. I was already bracing for whatever this was going to add to the mess unfolding around me. I hated that I was right to expect it.She reached me faster than I expected. Without wasting a second she extended her hand toward me with something heavy resting in her palm.“Take this " she said quickly her voice slightly breathless. When I looked down I saw a key. It was polished, official, and unmistakably important.I didn’t take it immediately. Confusion held my hand still. I looked back up at Helen with a frown that deepened as the seconds passed.“What is that for?" I asked, my voice controlled but sharp. Nothing about today deser
