JACOB POV

I stepped into the apartment with a calmness that came from knowing everything was already in motion. The door shut quietly behind me. I looked around with a careful glance. Nothing I owned was ever without a reason.

The lights were low. The curtains were drawn enough to keep the outside world at a distance. The silence felt controlled, not empty.

She noticed me away.

Tiana didn't hesitate. That told me she had already been waiting. She moved toward me with a familiarity. Her hands fo

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 64: The Run to Emergency

    KATHRYN POVShe turned around and her reaction was immediate.“Mommy!" she shouted, her voice cracking in a way that really got to me. She pushed herself up from the bed fast, her arms reaching out to me without hesitation.I quickly closed the distance between us, my hands on her shoulders as I helped her steady herself. When she leaned into me I could feel how weak she was, how different she felt from that morning.“Hey, hey… it’s okay, mommy's here." I said softly but firmly because I needed her to feel steady even if I wasn’t. I gently brushed her hair back, my fingers staying on her for a bit longer than necessary as if just touching her could reassure both of us. "I’m here now okay? I’ve got you.”She nodded a little. She didn’t let go of me and that alone told me she was scared.“How are you feeling?" I asked, moving a bit lower so I could look at her properly because I needed to see her face not just hear her words.“I don’t feel too good, " she murmured, her voice weaker now.

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 63: A Mother's Panic

    KATHRYN POVThe silence in my car was not quiet at all. It was loud. It was pressing against my chest. I picked up my phone and dialed my lawyer's number again and when the phone rang once or twice and then went to that automated voice my stomach dropped."Switched off," I said quietly to myself even though I already knew that. Saying it out loud made it feel more real than I wanted it to. I looked at my phone screen hoping it would change. It did not. So I felt a fear growing inside my chest because this was not just a delay. My lawyer was absent.I leaned back in my seat. I tried to think clearly, trying not to panic. My thoughts started to go in directions I did not want to think about and then my phone rang. The sudden sound made me jump. My heart beat faster. When I looked at my phone screen I froze.It was Celine's school.That changed everything.I answered the phone away."Hello?" I said quickly, my voice a little tighter than I meant it to be. Something about the timing of th

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 62: Survival Is Not Enough

    JACOB POVI glanced at the screen. When I saw Michael’s name on it something inside me didn't react like it usually would. Of feeling urgent or curious I felt a dull calculation in my chest. I let it ring till the vibration stopped.Mrs. Joyce. She always noticed things that mattered."Good," she said smoothly, her tone changing back to that rhythm she used when she was about to take control. "Good call." She poured herself another drink like the interruption had helped her. "Now let's get down to business."I didn't respond. The way she said it didn't feel like an invitation. I stared at her, letting the silence go on enough to remind her I was still there."Don't give me that look," she added, tilting her head like she found my restraint funny rather than threatening. "You and I both know you can act reckless. Now is one of those times."I didn't argue. Arguing would have meant engaging on her terms. I wasn't ready to give her that satisfaction. I stayed quiet. I watched her reach f

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 61: A Plan Already in Motion

    JACOB POVHer answer did not make things clear, it actually made everything more confusing. The way she spoke was so calm and easy it was obvious she had already thought about how this conversation would go even before I walked into the room. I looked at her for a longer time but my mind was already thinking about what was really going on beneath the surface of our conversation. When I finally spoke I was not just reacting to what she said. I was changing the direction of the conversation."I might have to divorce Kathryn, " I said slowly. The words hung in the air between us and for the time since I came into her space she showed some reaction. Her eyebrows went up slightly. The small change in her face told me that she did not expect me to say that."Divorce?" she repeated, leaning back a little like she was thinking about what I said. "You say it like it is a plan, not something that might happen because of what's going on."I took a breath, rubbed my jaw and turned away from her

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 60: The Price of Interference

    JACOB POVAlthough I did not want her to see it, losing control in front of her would only give her power over me. "Yet, " I said slowly, my eyes narrowing a little "I am still sitting here without a court notice without a summons without anything," and I let her think about what that meant because the answer was already clear.She smiled again. This time it was slower and more deliberate like she had been waiting for me to figure it out. "Because I took care of it " she. The way she said it made it sound easy even though we both knew it was not.That was the moment everything changed not just because something had happened. Because it had stopped without me knowing about it.. That small change was enough to change the whole dynamic of the room. I leaned back a little doing what she had done earlier although my mind was already thinking about what came. "How did you even find out?" I asked, because things like that do not just happen by accident.She shrugged a little. Even though i

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 59: The Divorce That Almost Happened

    JACOB POVShe walked ahead of me without looking. Her steps were slow and deliberate. It was like she had already decided how fast this conversation would go. I followed her without trying to hurry her. I knew rushing her would only give her an advantage. She liked being in control.“I didn’t come here to waste time, " I said as I stepped into the office. My voice was steady. It had a sharp edge to it. I wanted to cut through the calm she had created.She didn’t turn around.Instead she put her bag down neatly on the desk. She adjusted her sleeve like my words were background noise. Then she glanced over her shoulder with a smile. It didn’t quite reach her eyes.“You talk a lot, " she said lightly. She walked over to the side cabinet where a tray of glasses was arranged neatly. "Sit down Jacob. Relax. You always come in here like the world is ending.”Her words stuck with me for a bit.Not because they were wrong.Because they were too true.I didn’t sit down. I watched her pour a dri
