JACOB POV

Although 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 m

    KATHRYN POVHe stepped in but did not rush. He moved with control like he already knew what this moment would be.Anna's eyes went to him. Shock broke through her anger like a crack in glass.“What…" she started to say. She couldn't finish.Iris already had her. His grip on her wrist was steady not aggressive. Firm enough to stop things from getting out of hand. It wasn't dramatic; it was precise. As he had stepped into a situation he understood better than anyoneFor a second no one moved.Then the rooftop erupted into attention.Phones came up.People who had been pretending not to watch stopped pretending.Whispers spread fast low and urgent. The crowd had been waiting for a reason to confirm what they suspected was important.“That’s Iris…”“No way he’s here…”“What is going on between them?”I felt the shift away. From conflict to public exposure.That was when I understood the situation wasn't mine anymore.I looked at Iris first. My voice cut through the noise.“What are you do

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 127: Three Hearts, One Breaking Point

    KATHRYN POVThe city had come to a standstill watching to see what would break Jacob, me, or the fragile control he thought he still had over me.I looked at Jacob, my face firm. I knew that if I showed any weakness it would be bad. I was not going to make that mistake"I am going to win this case,” I said to Jacob, my voice steady. I was still really upset inside. I did not want him to know that. "I will win it with or without Jacobs help. Nothing Jacob says tonight is going to change that."Jacob's eyes narrowed a little, like he was trying to get used to the way I was acting. I was being openly defiant. Jacob did not like it."You are making this harder than it needs to be," Jacob said calmly. He still thought he was in charge. "I came here to fix this not to fight you."When Jacob said the word "fix" it really got to me. I let out a laugh. It was not funny. I shook my head slowly. Stepped back from Jacob. I wanted to create some space between us so I could protect myself."Do not

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 126: The Moment Denial Died

    ANNA POVI did not answer away because if I opened my mouth I knew it would come out wrong too fast too broken too angry. Instead, I grabbed the keys, the metal cold against my palm, and that coldness made everything inside me feel worse not better.Rita reached me before I turned."Do not do this, " she said, grabbing my wrist lightly not forceful but firm enough to stop me from slipping past her. "You are emotional now Anna you do not make decisions like this when you are emotional.""This is not emotions, " I cut in, my voice sharper than I intended, because even hearing the word made my chest tighten. "This is clarity. I am done being played. Done watching things happen around me like I'm some background character in my own life, Anna's life."Her eyes narrowed slightly concern pulling at her expression as if she was trying to figure out how far I had already gone in my mind, Anna's mind."Played by who?" she asked quietly though she already knew the answer was not going to calm a

    JACOB POVThe laughter was still in the room like a feeling when Rita leaned back on the couch. She had her plate in one hand. She was using a funny voice like she was pretending to be Mrs Mayers. Rita was acting like she was very important like she owned the world."You should come home Anna," Rita said, as if she were drinking tea from a cup that was not there. "It is time. You need to be taken care of " and then she started laughing. She was laughing so hard that she was almost choking.I laughed with her not because it was super funny. It just felt good to laugh. For a minute I could forget about Jacob, Kathryn, and everyone else who was trying to tell me what to do."You are bad " I said, shaking my head as I reached for my glass. My voice was lighter than it had been in a long time.Rita just waved her hand still smiling. Then she leaned forward looking serious all of a sudden even though her eyes were still sparkling with humor."They all deserve to be treated the way they trea

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 124: Goodbye Without Saying Goodbye

    JACOB POVThe rooftop bar looked really different at night. It was like the city below was quieter so the people here could pretend their problems were not so bad. I was already there when Kathryn got there. I was sitting near the edge where the wind was blowing. I kept my drink steady while I waited to see if Kathryn would actually show up.I told myself I did not expect anything from her. My eyes kept looking at the entrance like I was waiting for her to come in. Part of me already knew she would show up even if she was still mad at me.Then I heard her voice behind me. "You are early " she said. Her voice was clear and calm. When I turned around I saw her standing there like she did not have a problem on her mind even though I knew she did.I stood up slowly so she could see me. I let the space between us feel like it was on purpose, not an accident. I looked at Kathryn for a moment before I said anything. "You look good Kathryn," I said calmly because I knew she still liked it wh

    ANNA POVShe put her teacup down on the table. It made a soft clicking sound. Then she looked at me. It was like she was trying to figure out how much I had messed up before she even got there."I did not come here to cause trouble, " she said. Her voice was calm. I could hear something cold underneath. "I will not put up with disrespect. Especially not from someone I am trying to talk to calmly."Her words sounded nice on the surface. They were actually a warning. It made my chest feel tight. I knew what kind of person she was trying to be with me.I swallowed hard. My hand was still holding the armrest. I made myself speak calmly even though my stomach was twisting."I am not trying to disrespect you, " I said slowly. "I am not going to let you talk to me like I do not have a choice in my own life."Rita moved beside me. Her chair made a scraping sound on the floor as she sat up straight. It was as if she could feel the conversation getting sharper.Mrs Mayers breathed out slowly. I
