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
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 58: Leverage Over Loyalty
JACOB POVMoments like this did not need a reaction; they needed to be absorbed. Every second of that footage was being stored in my mind where it could be pulled apart later piece by piece.She asked, "Do you not find this suspicious?" Her voice cut into the silence enough to remind me she was still there still watching me watch the footage.I leaned back slowly, my eyes on the screen for a moment longer before I looked at her.I asked her "What am I supposed to do with this footage?" My tone was flat controlled. It carried an edge that made it clear I was not impressed by surface-level conclusions.She tilted her head slightly studying me like she was measuring how far she could push before I pushed back.She said carefully "If you are not looking at the picture right now then you will make the wrong move."I did not interrupt her.She continued, "You do not confront Daniel first " she said, leaning forward a little, her voice dropping as if the room itself was listening "because i

Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 10: A Dangerous Confrontation
KATHRYN POVThe room seemed to get smaller around us.Jacob stood up straight. “How dare you come between my wife and I?" he demanded. The word wife made something inside my chest twist.Iris did not react the way Jacob had wanted him to. He did not match the chaos. He just stood there. He was com

KATHRYN POVAnna moved a little, making us look at her again with her hand on her stomach in a way that seemed like she was trying to make a point."Oh,” she said in a voice trying to sound nice. "I hope you do not mind, Kathryn."Her eyes met mine. I saw it, it was obvious she was trying to make f
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 7: When Time Stands Still
KATHRYN POV“What do you mean by that?" I asked. Iris didn’t answer away. He just stared at me. He really looked at me. Not like a glance people give when they are talking to you… but like he was trying to see everything.His eyes moved slowly across my face like he was remembering something.The
